Agincourt Event October 21, 2006
We invite one and all, young and old to join us for a day of fighting and feasting, arts and sciences, glory and revelry to be remembered! Our event autocrated by the talented Liam MacanTsaoir 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 day, the feast day of Saint Crispin, in 1415 between the English and Welsh army of King Henry V and the French army of King Charles VI.

Fighting will commence with an Atlantia-style speed tourney. There will also be a combat archer triathlon (archer vs archer, archer vs. advancing fighter, and rattan single combat with backup weapons). There will be a Harfleur "Once More Into the Breach" Battle. This will be a timed "hold-the-gate" scenario with obstacles and combat archery. Next will be the Agincourt Battle, a timed resurrection battle on an hourglass-shaped field with combat archery, pavises, obstacles, and impaling stakes allowed. (Participants are may want to bring their own pavises and traffic cones.) This will be followed by a Sack the Baggage Train Skirmish, including combat archery and resurrection for the attacking side only. Finally, we will fight multiple fight-throughs of a Tavern Brawl Battle until everyone is tired and happy. This battle will take place in a 'tavern', and will not allow combat archery, although thrown missile weapons are allowed, shields larger than a buckler or any weapon longer than five and a half feet are not allowed.

There's also archery for the so inclined. Did we forget to mention fencing!? Fear not, for we will have your favorite fencing activities and also a tavern battle, bring your favorite 'non standard' item for parrying. We've seen it all; from a turkey leg to a stuffed dog so use your imagination.

In between these events, we'll have a "Dueling Heralds" activity, in which heralds will vie for the roar of the crowd. Also, an Inspire the Troops contest, for which all populace are encouraged to participate in.

There will be plenty to do for the non fighter too, should you feel like taking it easy from the battle. An arts and science competition with a 'war goods' theme for the campaign trail, and a special category for leather work; as St. Crispin is a patron saint of leatherworkers. Children's activities also.

Before feast we'll be having Baronial Court, so get your award recommendations in now! To entertain us after court as we ready for dinner, the choir will sing to us of Henry the V and the brave battle.

An amazing feast is being prepared as well by Odriana vander Brugghe. Word is she is preparing a lunch of French Campaign foods and an English Feast for dinner. The Brewer's Guild is also cooking up something special for the evening!

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