Information
Location: Atenveldt
Lake Havasu, AZ
Date: 10/12/1974

The King of Atenveldt issued a challenge to Prince Christian of Orange for territorial rights to London Bridge*. The "autocrats" of the event (the Lake Havasu developers) offered free transportation for up to 35 Caidans to attend the event. The winning army would receive a replica of Excalibur and the right to claim London Bridge as part of their Kingdom or Principality.

*Robert McCulloch, the founder of Lake Havasu and the chairman of McCulloch Oil Corporation, purchased the bridge to serve as a tourist attraction. While the bridge did come over, brick by brick, from London, it is not Tower Bridge. Rather, it was designed by Scottish architect John Rennie the Elder (1761-1821), who was also known for the beautiful Waterloo Bridge built across the Thames.
