The Last Crusade: The Siege of Atenveldt

April 5, 2008 10:00 amtoApril 6, 2008 6:00 pm
Come join the Barony of Atenveldt as we relive the glory and honor
achieved during the 3rd Crusade by Richard and Saladin and their
armies. On Saturday there will be a series of melee battles
following the progress of King Richard the Lionhearted against Saladin
during the 3rd Crusade. Along side the hardsuit battles, will be the
Rapier soldiers whose scenarios will mirror and assist those of the
hardsuit. There will also be target archery designed to aid in the
battles, as well as Siege engines trying to bring down the Castle
walls and rain destruction down upon the enemy.

On Sunday we will hold a day of Tournaments for hardsuit, rapier and
archery, starting with a William Marshal Tourney and ending with a
Crusaders Cross Bear-pit Prize Tourney for the hardsuit Fighters.

For details on all battle scenarios and tournaments, please see the
March Palm Prints at http://www.baronyofatenveldt.org/

All artisans please come and explore the many colors of the Crusades
as you paint your own Persian/Turkish Tile(s). Lady Damaris will have
all the supplies necessary for you to participate in this activity.
Or join the Artisan Showcase highlighting Middle Eastern and Crusader
themes. Calling all Bards to come and join in on our “Thousand and
One Nights” Bardic Circle. For the children, we plan to build and
paint a Castle large enough for the children to play in when it’s
complete.
