I’d imagine they fake an American accent. Maybe Burbank, CA?

      There’s indeed renaissance festivals in UK.

      I’m pretty sure they pretend to speak old English there.

        Because we have a lot of history. If we’re doing an historic festival it would be more specific about the period, not just some homogeneous “past”. But that said, such festivals are quite rare anyway

          The Renaissance is not “some homogeneous past”, it’s a pretty specific time period: the 15th and 16th centuries.

            Yes, but renaissance fairs in the US are not actually about the renaissance. They are pretty much just “vague Ye olden days”/fantasy fairs.

            Thats two hundred years and would cover the end of Plantagenet reign and the Tudor era.

            Henry VIII reign happened during that period, at the beginning of your time period everyone would be catholic and at the end Queen Mary of Scotts was executed because the idea of a Catholic on the throne was unthinkable.

            The UK is littered with castles and estates, normally they focus on specific historic events which happened at that location.
