Event Staff

Event Description From: Wilhelm von Schlüssel's History: The Abbey of the Barony of Calafia hosted the tourney consisting of a melee in the woods and an archery competition. Prince Martin and Princess Arabella held court. The Archery contest was won by a young man by the name of Patrick, and a live chess game was fought between Baron Talanque and Prince Martin, who was victorious over the Baron. Then there was a banquet and revel at a hall on campus. There were belly dancers from a Dance Class at the University.

A live chess game was fought between Baron Talanque and Prince Martin, who was victorious over the Baron.] “Baron Talanque wielded a superior understanding of chess. I wielded a superior understanding of the fighters upon the board. Talanque always forwarded the next best move per the chess position. I continually countered with the fighter best equipped to handle the situation. I also sent out strong pieces "unprotected" save their skill at arms. Talanque would attack the unprotected piece and then I would forward it further into his ranks. You've got to know which game you're playing.” – Martin the Temperate
