The Knights of Calidore are a signatory of the Statuta Armorum Treaty. KOC is a martial arts and cultural recreation organization which studies western martial arts as well as the agrarian culture that supported the mounted knight. We are a service and educational organization devoted to educating the public about the late middle ages.

Knights of Calidore

Our inspiration is the European middle ages from 1350-1450 along the border of England and Scotland

Organizational Goals.

     Calidore began as a medieval historic reenactment society but is now moving towards a public educational organization. Our two goals are first to create and manage a yearly "Spring Market Festival" of the type that would have been common in the English/Scottish border regions during the 14th century. This Market Festival will be held in Western North Carolina each year in late April or early May.
    The secondary goal is the creation of a living history farm which simulates a small border region holding. This small farm will be open to the public and will provide insight into what resources were needed to outfit and support one medieval Knight.
