🇭🇷 U dane protekloga vikenda družina Reda Srebrnog Zmaja pohodi Samobor, gdje se po dvadeset i prvi put uprizori znamenita Bitka kod Samobora.

Ondje se plaćenik Nymandus okuša u viteškim nadmetanjima, stupivši pred okupljeni puk u borbu štitom i mačem te dugim mačem, pokazujući umijeće oružja kakvo priliči ratniku onoga doba.

U taboru se pak mogahu vidjeti i zanati stari: kovač pred mnoštvom prikazivaše umijeće kovanja na otvorenoj vatri, dok je verižar strpljivo pokazivao vještinu izrade verižnjače.

Dok čelik se kovao i verige pletahu, naš kuhar dva dana marljivo kuhaše, držeći družinu sitom i spremnom za nadolazeći boj.

Na koncu stupismo i u bitku, gdje se na samoborskom polju ponovno začu zveket oklopa i poklici vojski, oživjevši prizore minulih vremena.

I tako družina naša još jednom ostavi svoj trag među onima koji čuvaju uspomene na prošla vremena.

🇬🇧 Last weekend, the Company of the Silver Dragon visited Samobor, where the famous Battle of Samobor was staged for the twenty-first time.

There, the mercenary Nymandus tried his hand at knightly contests, entering the assembled ranks to fight with a shield and sword and a long sword, demonstrating the skill of weapons befitting a warrior of that time.

In the camp, old crafts could also be seen: a blacksmith demonstrated the art of forging on an open fire in front of the crowd, while a mail maker patiently demonstrated his skill link by link.

While the steel was being forged and the mail woven, our cook worked diligently for two days, keeping the troop well-fed and ready for the coming battle.

Finally, we entered the battle, where the clang of armor and military shouts were heard again on the Samobor field, reviving scenes of bygone times.

And so our troop once again left its mark among those who cherish the memories of bygone times.

Ove subote i nedjelje Red Srebrnog Zmaja pohodi Samobor, gdje se po dvadeset i prvi put uprizoruje znamenita Bitka kod Samobora.

Tijekom oba dana održava se srednjovjekovni sajam, gdje ćete moći susresti ratnike, obrtnike i prizore iz davnih vremena. U nedjelju pak slijedi sama bitka, kad će čelik zveckati, a barjaci se vijoriti nad bojištem.

Pozivamo vas da nam se pridružite, prošetate sajmom i svjedočite sudaru vojski pod zastavama minulih stoljeća.

Vidimo se u Samoboru!

🇭🇷 Sedmoga dana mjeseca veljače, godine Gospodnje 2026., družina Reda Srebrnog Zmaja pohodi polja Donje Stubice, gdje se svake godine uprizori boj u spomen na Seljačku bunu. Ovoga p**a sudbina nas svrsta pod stijeg Franje Tahyja, te stadosmo među njegove čete, oklopom i oružjem braneći red i vlast kako su to činili vojnici u ona vremena.

U metežu boja zveckahu oklopi, barjaci se vijahu, a dim i poklici ispuniše zrak dok se bitka razbukta na stubičkom polju.

Bratstvo među sudionicima bijaše pravo, te dan prođosmo u druženju i oživljavanju povijesti pred očima mnogih.

Tako družina naša još jednom upisa svoj trag u ljetopis pohoda, dok već mislimo na nove susrete pod zastavama minulih vremena.

🇬🇧 On the seventh day of February, in the Year of Our Lord 2026, the Company of the Silver Dragon journeyed to the fields of Donja Stubica, where each year a battle is held in memory of the Peasants’ Revolt. On this occasion fate placed us beneath the banner of Franjo Tahy, and we stood among his ranks, defending order and authority with armour and steel, as soldiers did in those times of old.

In the tumult of battle armours clanked, banners flew, and smoke and shouts filled the air as the clash unfolded upon the Stubica field.

True was the brotherhood among the participants, and the day passed in fellowship while history was brought to life before the eyes of many.

Thus our company once more inscribed its mark into the chronicles of its journeys, even as we already look toward future gatherings beneath the banners of ages past.

S tugom smo primili vijest da nas je prerano napustio Marek.
Izražavamo iskrenu sućut njegovoj obitelji, prijateljima i suborcima.
Neka mu je laka zemlja, a uspomene na zajedničke susrete i dijeljene dane ostaju s nama.

🇭🇷Sretan Božić i ugodne blagdane želi vam Red Srebrnog Zmaja 🎅

🇬🇧The Company of the Silver Dragon wishes you all a merry Christmas and happy holidays 🎅

🇭🇷 Četrnaestog dana mjeseca lipnja godine Gospodnje 2025., družina naša pohodi slavno mjesto Trocnov, rodno tlo vojvode Jana Žižke, gdje sudjelovasmo u Bitci kod Trocnova – godišnjem zbivanju usmjerenom na život i vojnu službu tijekom prvih husitskih ratova.

Tijekom borbi oživjesmo husitski tabor, okušasmo u borbenim igrama, gdje ratnici utvrdiše svoju hrabrost, spretnost i oštrinu oružja. U nadmetanju snage i brzine, svaki se borac trsio pokazati da je dostojan stajati u prvim redovima. Potom se bacismo u veliku bitku gdje oklopi zveckahu, zastave vijahu, a duh borbe bijaše jak.

Ne bijaše sve samo mač i štit! Naš kuhar u natjecanju zasluži treće mjesto, donijevši nam čast među loncima i kotlovima. A kako i priliči ratnicima u tuđini, valja priznati da smo se najedali raznih ukusnih jela i popili piva toliko da bi i sam Žižka podigao obrvom u čudu.

Na kraju posjetismo Archeoskanzen Trocnov, arheološki muzej na otvorenom koji prikazuje srednjovjekovna sela s kućama, alatima i načinom života s kraja 14. stoljeća, služeći kao edukativni prikaz svakodnevice tadašnjeg puka, njegovih zanata, poljoprivrede i arhitekture.

Radost nam bijaše provesti vrijeme u dobroj bratiji, stari savezi učvrstiše se, a nova prijateljstva rodiše. Već iščekujemo iduće okupljanje, koje je zakazano 14. lipnja 2026.

🇬🇧 On the fourteenth day of the month of June in the Year of Our Lord 2025, our company journeyed to the renowned place of Trocnov, the birthplace of the noble commander Jan Žižka, where we took part in the Battle of Trocnov — an annual gathering devoted to the life and military service of the early Hussite wars.

Throughout the clashes we brought the Hussite camp to life and tested ourselves in martial games, wherein the warriors proved their courage, skill, and sharpness of weapon. In contests of strength and swiftness, each fighter strove to show himself worthy of standing in the foremost ranks. Thereafter we hurled ourselves into the great battle, where armour clattered, banners flew, and the spirit of war burned strong.

Yet not all was sword and shield! In the cooking contest our cook earned a noble third place, winning us honour among pots and cauldrons. And, as befits warriors travelling far from home, it must be confessed that we feasted upon many a tasty dish and drank enough beer to make even Žižka himself raise an eyebrow in wonder.

At last we visited the Archeoskanzen Trocnov, an open-air archaeological museum depicting medieval villages with their houses, tools, and the way of life of the late 14th century, serving as an instructive display of the common folk’s daily labours, crafts, agriculture, and architecture.

Great was our joy to spend time in good company; old alliances were strengthened and new friendships forged. We already await the next gathering, set for the fourteenth day of June, in the Year of Our Lord 2026.

🇭🇷 Ovoga vikenda družina Reda Srebrnog Zmaja pohodi daleke zemlje Francuske!
U mjestu Tiffauges, gdje se uzdiže slavni dvorac, stupit ćemo u boj rame uz rame s našim prijateljima iz družbe Association Obliti Milites. Ondje će se zbiti velika opsada, gdje će oklopi zveckati, strijele fijukati, a bojna vika odjekivati kamenim zidinama.

Bit će to zgoda da mačeve i koplja okušamo pred mnogobrojnim pukom, te da bratstvo među družinama još više učvrstimo!

🇬🇧 This weekend, the Company of the Silver Dragon rides to France!
In Tiffauges, at the mighty castle, we shall join our friends from Association Obliti Milites in a grand siege. There, steel will clash, arrows will fly, and the roar of battle will echo against the stone walls.

A chance to test our arms before the crowd and to strengthen bonds of brotherhood across lands!

🇭🇷 U ovo ljeto Gospodnje, družina naša pohodiše mnoge krajeve i zbivanja, noseći duh prošlih vremena i prikaze plaćeničkog života.

Trećega dana mjeseca svibnja, u Konjščini, na 16. sajmu pri Starom gradu, stupismo u mimohod nakon kojeg okušasmo se u boju, gdje oružje zveckalo, a bojna slava bijaše dijeljena.

Desetoga dana svibnja, u gradu Sisku, na Povijesnom pikniku: Dani Kraljevstva, u čast 1100. ljeta od krunidbe kralja Tomislava, plaćenici naši podigoše radionicu „Mala škola mačevanja“, gdje djeca okušaše mač i štit. Dan bijaše vedar i lagodan, pa i družina naša u miru okrijepi dušu i tijelo.

Dvadeset i prvoga lipnja, u staroj utvrdi Jelengrad, bijaše održan Renaissance party, gdje zvuci glazbe suvremene susretoše srednjovjekovni oklop i oružje. Tako plesasmo pod zvijezdama, a i sami se šalismo da su bubnjevi našega doba zamijenjeni spravama koje proizvode grom i tutanj čudesan.

Trinaestoga dana mjeseca srpnja, u Lepoglavi, na Lepoglavskim danima, uprizorismo plaćenički tabor i vježbasmo boj. Ondje nas i udruga BANAF snimi za treću epizodu treće sezone emisije Oživljena povijest. Družismo se i s prijateljima iz Viteški red Sv.Nikole, gdje bratstvo u vježbi i veselju još više učvrsti naše redove. A kad zveket oružja utihnu, drugovi se dadoše na igru kocke, jer ni ratnici nijesu lišeni poroka.

Tako družina Reda Srebrnog Zmaja prođe kroz dane mnoge, uz mač, bratstvo i veselje, dok novi pohodi već na obzorju niču.

🇬🇧 In this summer of our Lord, our company visited many places and events, carrying the spirit of past times and depictions of mercenary life.

On the third day of May, in Konjščina, at the 16th fair near the Old Town, we took part in a parade, after which we tried our hand at battle, where weapons clanged and battle glory was shared.

On the tenth day of May, in the town of Sisak, at the Historical Picnic: Days of the Kingdom, in honor of the 1100th anniversary of the coronation of King Tomislav, our mercenaries set up a workshop called "Little School of Fencing", where children tried their hand at sword and shield. The day was bright and easy, and our company also refreshed their soul and body in peace.

On the twenty-first of June, in the old fortress of Jelengrad, a Renaissance party was held, where the sounds of contemporary music met medieval armor and weapons. So we danced under the stars, and we ourselves joked that the drums of our time had been replaced by devices that produce thunder and a wondrous roar.

On the thirteenth of July, in Lepoglava, during the Lepoglava Days, we staged a mercenary camp and practiced battle. There, the BANAF association filmed us for the third episode of the third season of the show Oživena povijest. We also socialized with friends from the Knights' Order of St. Nicholas, where brotherhood in exercise and joy strengthened our ranks even more. And when the clang of weapons fell silent, the comrades started playing dice, because even warriors are not without vices.

Thus the Company of the Silver Dragon passed through many days, with swords, brotherhood and joy, while new campaigns were already emerging on the horizon.

🇭🇷 Iako nas neko vrijeme ovdje niste vidjeli ni čuli, nismo nestali… Samo smo se skrivali iza oklopa!
Dana 27. travnja godine Gospodnje 2025. naši plaćenici sudjelovaše na proslavi 70. rođendana Dječjeg kazališta Dubrava.

U viteškom taboru blještaše naši oklopnici, dok su naši meštri svaku radoznalu dušu, a naročito najmlađe, podučavali tajnama luka, strijela i samostrela.

Hvalimo vas, dragi domaćine, što nas pozvaste u svoj dvor na ovu svečanost.

Budite pripravni jer ne mirujemo dugo, novi pohodi nas zovu!

🇬🇧 Although you haven't seen or heard from us here for a while, we haven't disappeared... We've just been hiding behind our armor!
On April 27th in the year of our Lord 2025, our mercenaries participated in the celebration of the 70th birthday of the Dubrava Children's Theater.

Our armors shone in the encampment, while our masters taught every curious soul, especially the youngest, the secrets of the bow and arrow crossbow.

We thank you, dear hosts, for inviting us to your palace for this celebration.

Be prepared, because we won't be idle for long, new campaigns are calling us!

🇭🇷 8. i 9. ožujka, godine Gospodnje 2025. imali smo čast i zadovoljstvo i ovaj put sudjelovati na manifestaciji Bitka kod Samobra. Od srca hvala organizatorima kao i svim udrugama koji su i ove godine gledateljima, a i nama omogućili izvanredan provod! U nastavku možete vidjeti dio doživljaja kroz oči naših članova.
