Do the people in Reniassance festivals occurring in Britain also speak with faked British accents, or do they use faked French/Italian accents instead?

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

You call a fantasy event a renaissance festival?

Arguable but the last time I was at the RenFest in Larkspur, there were Jedi and Star Fleet officers there.

That's the big difference between the US ren faires and the European ones.

The ones over here are usually organized by castle museums or therelike, so in general, they are quite grounded in reality.

You might have a herb witch or something like that over here, but you won't have dragons, magic or Disney present there.

Today I learned, people who lived in the medieval ages were big fans of Star Wars and Star Trek.
