The Last Crusade: The Siege of Atenveldt
| April 5, 2008 10:00 am | to | April 6, 2008 6:00 pm |
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
