Craigmeister's Videos
Many of these videos are on my YouTube channel ~ "Craig Meister". It would be easy to spend hours there watching different aspects of Renaissance Faires there, from reports inside the gates, to song performances faire insights & more. Just the perfect thing to do when you cannot get to a Renfaire during the cold of winter, heat of summer or middle of the night.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EkGdHYJ7D8 ~ The Battle Of Crecy, 1346 which featured English Longbowmen as the main factor of this victory, as told by the Craigmeister at the 2022 Queensferry Renaissance Festival. This presentation was unique as I had enough room to make 90 yard arcing shots with my longbow. Few if any other archers get the room to have such a show at a Renfest. Thank you, Queensferry board members for making this possible!
