Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye!

Let all people of An Tir, and of all the known kingdoms, who are not banished or enemies of the king our lord, know that there will be a great festival of arms and a very noble tourney, both mounted and on foot, with archers, crests, banners and horses covered with the arms of the noble tourneyers, as is the ancient custom, hosted by the very noble and very powerful Barony of Madrone.

Tournaments

There will be five different tournaments at the Emprise this year, all inspired by the 1460 treatise of René of Anjou and overseen by four noble judges.

• Equestrian mounted tournament
• Foot combat Pas D'Arms
• Archery
• Petite Pas (Youth Combat)
• London Masters Tourney (Rapier)

A hand-crafted prize will be presented to the overall winner of each tournament.
