Shields

Hereafter follows the form and manner in which you should cry the tourney...
And to make this better known, all princes, lords, barons, knights and squires of the above marches,
and others from whatsoever nations they are, not banished or enemies of the king, our lord,
who wish to tourney to acquire honor, may carry these little shields that will be given out presently,
so that everyone may know who are the tourneyers. And anyone can have them who wants: the little shields
are quartered with the arms of the four knights and squires who are judges of the tourney.
-from A Treatise on the Form and Organization of a Tournament by King Rene of Anjou, circa 1460

Our version of the "little shields...quartered with the arms of the knights and squires who are judges of the tourney" can be downloaded below. Anyone can have them who wants.

(note: because we are still waiting to confirm our 4th judge for Emprise X, the shields have not been produced yet... last year's shields are below)
