Tournee de Lyonesse V




Once again the Isle of Lyonesse rises above the waves.  Lady Lyonesse
invites
one and all to attend her and the Ladies of the Fields in a Grand
Tournament on
March 7-9, A.S. XXXI, 1997.
All combatants for the championship of the Tournee de Lyonesse must be
sponsored by a lady and must present a letter of intent to the Lady
Lyonesse.
Order of Precedence will be determined by when your letter is received. 
Your letter
must precede you, and should include the names of both combatant and
lady. 
The combat will be long and arduous, but glory will greet those who show
great
chivalry in the eyes of the Ladies.  Combatants will demonstrate their
honor and
prowess in a pas d'arms using sword and shield, great arms, and pole
arms.  Melees
between the fields, bridge battles, and a grand melee au chervil will
ensue.  Finally,
the Champions of the Fields will defend the hilltop against all comers. 

The Lady Lyonesse invites all artisans to display works reflecting the
theme of
"Legendary Lovers."  A letter of intent and brief documentation are
encouraged.

l'orange, bread pudding, and cake with fruit.  Please notify the cooks
about dietary restrictions.  The Ansteorran Longship Project will serve
an omelet breakfast, for $3, on Sunday morning.

arms around the list field.
