[Ansteorra-announce] Ursae-Lyons, Bjornsborg, October 19-21

[clternus]

 When Lion and Bear contend
whose sword at last shall bend? 


Greetings Ansteorra,

Two emblems have long held sway over the lands of Bjornsborg.  Ursae - the Bears - for those who have shown greatness in the Barony, and Lyons - the Lions - for the many Lions of Ansteorra who come from or reside in Bjornsborg (we count 8 whole and 2 halves).  Which symbol should hold pride of place?  The decision shall be made with sword, ax and spear.

Godwyn and Radegund, Baron and Baroness of Bjornsborg invite you to be most welcome at 

URSAE-LYONS

The tournament takes place October 19-21.  Letters of intent are required to be considered as one of the winners of the tournament.  Letters may be sent to clternus at sbcglobal.net or to the postal mail address of the Baron and Baroness, to be found in the back of the Black Star.  Largesse will be given for the letter that pleases us most, along with the first letter to arrive.

Also required is an artisan's token.  As the deadly arts go hand in hand with the gentler ones, we ask that each combatant be sponsored by an artisan.  The tokens are to be small works of art from your artisans: a glass bead, a chicken tartlet, a skein of spun wool, home grown rosemary, an annular broach.  

Regarding the Arts, there will be a competition with the theme of Medieval Bestiary.  Come, artisans, and compete for largesse from the Lady of the Bear field (an antique wine basket filled with delectable treats), from the Lady of the Lion field ( a Pock game board) and from the Baron and Baroness (it's a surprise!).

There will be pumpkins available for carving.  The one most favored by the Baroness will receive largesse from her hands.

The fighting shall consist of individual challenges, group challenges, mace crest melee, bridge battles and more.  The winners of the Bear and Lion fields shall vie for primacy and the winners of those battles will face all-comers.  For rules regarding crests, go to the event web site, under combat schedule.

As a reminder, this tournament is a judged tournament.  Your persona, comportment, fighting ability and heart will be judged.  Those worthy will be chosen to represent the Bear and Lion fields.

At Their Royal Majesties' pleasure, there will be a Pelican Circle, probably after the fighting is done in the afternoon.
