Rapier, of course. To the best of my memory, there have only been two 
Queen's Champion Tournaments that included armored combat.

That one was also a rapier tournament. This was several years before 
the tradition of having the King's Champion Tournament the morning of 
Coronation was started.

The rapier fighters (not just the White Scarves) protect the Queen, 
whether she's Consort or Sovereign. Always have, always will. As 
Robin said, we're re-creating the Cult of Gloriana.
