Me and my associate, Simon, performing a sword fight rehearsal for a local musical / re-enactment upheld on the Island of Malta. The performance, deals with the famous Great Siege of 1565, where supposedly the Grand Turk of the Ottoman Empire Suleiman I, sent 40000 troops to invade Malta , then a major southern border of Christendom. The Island was defended by the noble Knights of St. John, then only 600, with the help of around 6000-7000 Locals to defend the minute island. The end result was a decisive victory with major causalities for the Ottomans, and the siege was lifted after roughly 3 months.
