There are lots of exciting things planned for the pleasures of Their Royal Majesties Nigel and Adrielle, and Their Excellencies of Septentria, Dafydd and Mahhild, and Their most esteemed populace.

Martial Activities

Join us for the Emprise of the Wolf and Bear! Following the format of last year’s Emprise of the Ermine Star, this tourney will allow both armoured and rapier combatants to demonstrate the chivalric virtues within the lists. A procession and helm show will precede the fighting, with prizes awarded for those who exemplify chivalric virtues upon the field. We will also honour Hlafdige AElfwyn aet Langanwuda’s vigil for the Order of the Chivalry; her elevation will take place during evening Court.

Royalty liaison and Emprise organizer: Magistra Nicolaa de Bracton
Armoured Combat Marshal in Charge: The Honourable Lord Colyne Stewart
Armoured Combat King-At-Arms: Baron Richard Larmer
Rapier Combat Marshal in Charge: The Honourable Lady Jocelyn Roget de Cranewell, Companion of the Order of Defense,

Note: Tournaments and rapier combat will take place weather permitting; there is no indoor venue for them at this site.

A&S

The 2016 Feast of the Bear A&S Display/Competition is on the theme of “Collaboration.”

This is a chance to show off your group projects!

Projects must involve at least two artisans to qualify. For example: embroidery using thread spun and dyed by one person and stitched by a second person; clothing where the various pieces are done by different people; food where the herbs were grown by one person and the cooking done by another; a wooden chest carved by three different people; a scroll where the illumination, calligraphy, paint, and ink are all made by different people, etc.

Let’s show that Ealdormere artisans are more than the sum of their parts!
