<div>Greetings Everyone!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As the time for this tournament approaches, my excitement to see all Our wonderful rapier fighters grows! I wanted to make a clarification on some wording that was presented on the website for this event (website at: <a href="http://www.houselucerna.net/SpringQueens/">http://www.houselucerna.net/SpringQueens/</a> )</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"HRM has asked that all combatants be dressed in appropriate clothing if they wish to enter either the Queen's Champion or Queen's Hope lysts. This means a reasonable attempt at pre-1600s clothing . Please, no exposed modern fencing jackets."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have been advised that there were several gentles that were worried or discouraged from fighting in the lyst due to not having a perfect period outfit including period shoes. Please be sure that I want this tournament to be open to as many fighters as possible so as long as a reasonable attempt at pre-1600's clothing has been made, I will be happy to have you compete. I understand completely the need for modern shoes sometimes so please don't let that hold you back from entering.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I look forward to seeing you all this weekend!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
<div>HRM Elizabeta di Valore della Rosa</div>
