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

All Renaissance fairs are really medieval fairs.

They ended up called Renaissance Fairs because a radio ad exec in California thought it was a more broadly appealing name when the first one was held, and it stuck.

I’ve wondered about the name for a while, thanks for explaining!
