      Unto the Populace of Ansteorra do the Stewards of the Battle of Three Commanders Send Greetings!

      Battle of Three Kings XVI known this year as the Battle of the Three Commanders will be held at Hawkins State Park in Hawkins, Texas, October 1-3.  Here are the Battle Scenarios so that all can begin to plan their alliances and the fun can begin!  The Commanders are:

      The Irish Commander - Grainne Ui Mhaille - HE Druinne de Salesberie
      The English Commander - Sir Francis Drake - HE Don Robert MaPharland
      The Spanish Commander - Duke Alonzo Perez de Guzman - HE Don Iago Cabrera de Cadiz

      Background: The English are trying to stop the Spanish Armada from invading England with or without the help of the Irish.  Nobody can say until the very last minute with which forces the Irish Queen will align. The field battles will be at Tilbury, the castle battle will be on Isle of Wight, which is the first line of defense in the English Channel against any invading force and the ship to ship will be at sea.

      First Scenario:  Chivalric fighters will battle at the Castle to defend the Isle of White while the Rapier fighters will be fighting from ship to ship trying to stop the Spanish Armada & the Irish from getting to the English homeland.  

      Second Scenario: Chivalric fighters will be fighting on the ships and the Rapier fighters will have a Field Battle defending English homeland from any forces that might get past the seafaring defenders, while the invaders attempt to win the castle.  

      Third Scenario:  Chivalric fighters will have a Field Battle and the Rapier fighters will be assaulting the Castle.  

      Siege is welcome in all Chivalric battles as well as Archers so that all will have as much fun as possible for as long as desired.

      Most are familiar with the Rosenfeld Castle and we are trying something new this year with hay-bail ships for ‘ship-to-ship’ battles with boarding parties and Archers.  If we can squeeze a Siege onboard one or more ships, what fun that would be!  

      Commanders, rally your troops!  We are looking toward a full day of non-stop fun for all.

      Visit our new website to be updated soon: http://battleof3commanders.com for information as we get closer to the Event.

      Come join us and have fun!
