Details: Wolfe Argent portrays the soldiers of the Third Chambre of the Second Escadre of the Tenth company of the Ordonnances raised by Charles the Bold in the Summer (July) of 1471, commanded by Baudoin de Lannoy July 1471 - Nov/Dec 1474, then Jaques Galliot Nov/Dec 1474 - Jan 1476, then Jean de Rubempre Jan 1476 - Jan 1477, their families, and the support personel of the company.

Wolfe Argent covers the full length of the existance of the first Bandes de Ordonnance, but for in-depth interpretation and the purpose of detailed histories of the members we concentrate on the events surrounding the siege of Neuss (1474 - 1475) for interpretive scenarios.

Wolfe Argent refers to the livery badge of the chef de chambre, Stephen Philpot (a fictional construct for the purpose of interpretation based on careers of actual English officers in Burgundian service) that is worn in addition to Burgundian livery by his personal retainers that formed the core of the original chambre.

Wolfe Argent does both professional historic interpretation - regularly as volunteer staff at the Johnathan Woodman Higgins Armory Museum, 100 Barber Ave, Worcester, Mass, and ocassionaly at other institutions (University of Albany, April 2001), in addition to more traditional reenactment activities.
