Corpora sez: "(a) The candidate must be considered the equal of his or
her prospective peers with the basic weapons of tournament combat."

G&PD 5 has "Rapier combat, not having been part of formal tournament
combat in the Middle Ages, shall not be a part of formal tournament
lists for royal ranks and armigerous titles."

I think the combo means that a Corpora change would be necessary for
that.  Well, technically, G&PD are under more direct Board control,
but there'd still likely have to be a Board vote of some king (whether
it's called amending Corpora or changing G&PD).


G&PD #5 is actually intended to prevent rapier combat being used in Crown or Coronet tournaments. 

As for the quote from Corpora, I suppose that depends on how you define "the basic weapons of tournament combat". *I* would interpret that as broadsword and shield, however.
