based on King Rene’s the Book of
Love 

(Le Libre du Cueur d’Amours Espris)

Nolte Island Recreation
Area, Nolte Island Road, Seguin, TX 78155



This event is LOOSELY based on King Rene's Book of Love written and illuminated
in the 15th century.  (We'll be in good company as "The Princess
Bride" also bears strong resemblance to the Book of Love.)  The
Avatar of Love, Baroness Suzanne, will vie with her enemy, 
the Avatar of Lust,
Baron Philippe.  

Who
shall prevail?



There will be armored and rapier fighting with a Cut and Thrust barrier scenario. 
The fighting will be single combat followed by a snowball melee, culminating in
a climactic final battle between the forces of Love and of Lust.  There will be a target archery competition
presided over by Eros.



 *****This will be the last event with melee fighting and authorizations before
Gulf War!******



The Arts and Sciences will continue the contest with one open pavilion of static
entries devoted to Love and Friendship and one tent, open only to those gentles
18 years or older, with static entries that are subject to approval by Radegund
devoted to Lust and Jealousy.  
For
questions, contact Radegund at the email below.

 

A
filling and theme appropriate lunch will be sold for a reasonable fee.  Supper will be potluck after evening court.
