[SCA-BMDL] Agincourt Event

[Shawn MacIntyre]

Very Early event teaser!!

Agincourt 
October 25th 2008
Barony Marche of the Debatable Lands

I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit; and, upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry! England and Saint George!'
Henry V, 3. 1

We invite one and all to join us for our third annual
celebration of the feast of Saint Crispin! Our event
is themed on the battle of Agincourt that was fought
in northern France as part of the Hundred Years' War.
The battle was fought on a rainy Saint Crispin’s Day,
in 1415 between the English and Welsh army of King
Henry V and the French army of King Charles VI.

The many fights to be had throughout the day will sate
Fighter and Fencers alike. For the fencers, your day
will begin with a melee on an hourglass shaped field;
you will later fight the Tavern Brawl as well as a
Fencing Tourney. For the Heavy Fighters, you have many
battles ahead of you, all with combat archery. The
Heavy Tavern Brawl will take place in the afternoon,
hand weapons only please.
 
What a sad day this would be without archery, Archers
won the Battle of Agincourt. Along with combat
archery, we will hold an Archery Tournament and a
Youth Archery Tournament. There will also be an
opportunity to test the skills of Aethelmearc’s
Archers against a fierce French Army.

There will be plenty to do for the non-fighter as
well. There will be an A&S competition with the theme
being Leather working. We are also looking for kind
gentles to hold classes throughout the day on topics
relevant to the period. We would especially like to
see classes on leather working in honor of St.
Crispin. 

An amazing lunch and feast is being prepared as well
by the very talented Odriana vander Brugghe, Odriana
will be cooking a feast of 14th Century English
cuisine. During feast we will have a Dueling Bards
Competition, to entertain the crowd and all honored
guests. 

Garb of the period is requested and will make the
atmosphere more authentic, but of course not required.
