[Ansteorra-announce] Mace Crest Melee at Deeds of Heroes II, October 15-17

[Carolle Ternus]

Greetings Ansteorra, from Master Godwyn Alfricson.  Deeds of Heroes II / Baronial Investiture is coming upon us rapidly, with only two weeks to go.  Are you worried that you won't get to do enough fighting?  Do you need still more pageantry?

 

I am sponsoring a Mace Crest Melee, right before the Combat a Cheval.  For the rules governing the melee and the making of the crests, go to our website at www.vikinganswerlady.com/bjornsborg.

  

Crests have to be at least a certain size (see web page for specifics).  They can be filled with spangles, confetti, feathers, candy, etc.  NO Pyrotechnics (yes, this has actually come up.)  For those who feel a lack in their crest making abilities or who have run out of time, 2 enterprising Bjornsborgers will have approximately half a dozen crests for sale, first come first served.   (They also run a stable with horses for rent).  

 

Sorry, no arms merchants will be available, so make sure to bring your own mace, or borrow a friend's.

 

Remember, the object is to hit the crest NOT the person and to play to the crowd.  The person who lasts the longest with his or her crest most intact will win a mace made by me.  A picture of the mace will be up on the website soon.

 

There's no letter of intent necessary for the mace crest melee, but there is a letter of intent and sponsorship by an artisan required for the tournament as a whole.

 

Master Godwyn Alfricson
