Those competing for the Championship of the Emprise of the

In addition to the games for the Championship, there will be
a variety of heavy armored combat tournaments also in the
style of Rene of Anjou’s treatise.  The evening will end
(as per King Rene’s
instructions) with dancing and socializing. Sunday will
feature more opportunities for equestrian activities andheavy
fighting.
