From Talhoffer or Marozzo, Agrippa or Viggiani to Silver, Saviolo or de Grassi. All of these Masters of Defense took advantage of opportunities to test their mettle and skill. So too should the fencers of AEthelmearc. To the end, a grand tournament will be held to to choose the next Queens Rapier Champion. This event is scheduled for Oct. 3rd at Coopers Lake Campground within the Shire of Sunderoak. Site opens at 10am and closes at 10pm. The Champions tourney will begin promptly at noon. The tourney format will depend on the number of fencers who participate in the tournament. Pomp and pageantry are the order of the day and heraldic displays and personal heralds are highly encouraged. If you have questions, please contact your Autocrat, Sir Aengus MacBain (David Hassinger, 344 Wagner Ave., Butler PA 16001, 724-283-7984, siraengus at zoominternet.net).
Please make all reservation checks out to: SCA Inc., Shire of Sunderoak and send them to THLady Gabriella d'Asti (Karen Murdick, 164 Jamisonville Rd., Butler Pa 16001, 724-285-3409 after 6pm please, gabbyasti_at_zoominternet.net). Site fees for the day are $6 for adults and $4 for children 13 and younger. Feast fees are $10 for adults and $8 for children 13 and younger. The non member fee will be collected as necessary.
After Court, a delicious 3 remove feast, prepared by our own THLady Katla Ulfhedinn will be served to the first 50 paid reservations, so reserve early. Please contact her directly regarding any dietary concerns ( katla_at_zoominternet.net).
While Fencing is the focus of the day, Heavy fighters, fear not! You too will get a chance to test your mettle. THLord Vlad (two swords) Mechnik will be running a William Marshal tournament to challenge any who would stand the field. Armor inspections will start at 1pm on the main battlefield. Make sure you bring your troll token with you if you wish to fight in the Heavy Tourney.
Last, but certainly not least, an A&S challenge will be held for the artisans of the Realm to showcase their skills. Artists are being asked to create a token or favor for Their Majesties largesse chest. The entries will be judged by Their Majesties and the winning entry will be given to the Queens Rapier Champion. All of the remaining entries will be given to Their Majesties to use during Their Reign.
