Greetings:

I will be conducting an open challenge at each tourney that I attend for the
remainder of the year.  While I have sent a message out on the Ansteorra
Announce list, I would like to have this challenge issued in a period format
for the further entertainment of the kingdom, and in honor of my lady.  I
would greatly appreciate it if the court heralds of each barony could
announce the following at one of their upcoming events at the end of court.

"Let all princes, lords, barons, knights and squires of the regions of the
North, South, Central, East, and West, and all others of whatever marches
that are in the kingdom of Ansteorra and all other known world kingdoms, who
are not banished or enemies of the king our lord, may God save him, know
that Lord Rodrigo de Navarre, out of no ill will, and for love his lady,
does here now issue an open challenge to all whom this message may find.  At
each tourney that he shall attend this season he shall erect a gold and
green gallery. And beside this gallery will be a challenge tree from which
hang three shields. The first shield being of the color gules, indicating
counted blows with pole weapons. The second shield being argent, indicating
a match with sword and shield. The final shield being sable, indicating a
match with spear on foot. He shall await within this gallery all those who
would accept this his challenge, and extend to them as many passes as they
wish not surpassing twenty-five passes a Venent. And to further insure that
all Venent's have the opportunity to meet him on the field of honor, he
shall keep the gallery open at night, and accept matches by way of
torchlight.  All of which he shall do in appropriate armor, with crest, and
coats of arms, as is the ancient custom. All of this he does swear to
accomplish in the name of his lady fair, the Honorable Lady Antoinette de
Burgundy. "



In service to my Lady,

Lord Rodrigo de Navarre

The following is a list of events that I will be attending if you are
asked:Loch Soilleir Baronial - May, Steppes Warlord - May, Stargate Baronial
