Modern Reenactment
The legend of the Jomsvikings has inspired a modern reenactment movement. The "Army of Jomsborg" seek to accurately portray Vikings of the 10th and 11th centuries. Their focus is on live-steel combat, though crafts are practiced by some members. The organization has branches in Europe, Canada, USA, and elsewhere.

Famous quotes containing the word modern:
“Families have always been in flux and often in crisis; they have never lived up to nostalgic notions about “the way things used to be.” But that doesn’t mean the malaise and anxiety people feel about modern families are delusions, that everything would be fine if we would only realize that the past was not all it’s cracked up to be. . . . Even if things were not always right in families of the past, it seems clear that some things have newly gone wrong.”
—Stephanie Coontz (20th century)
