In cooperation with the Barony of Madrone

A premier event, hosted in high chivalry, boasts two Baronies in display of skill and valour, recreating a meeting between Henry VIII of England and Francis I, in which the kings set out to impress and outshine each other. Arriving at the meeting with large retinues, they attempted to out show the other, sparing no expense in their displays of wealth. They erected pavilions made with cloth of gold (real filaments of gold sewn with silk to make the fabric), organized jousts and other competitions of skill and strength, banqueted each other lavishly, in all ways trying to outdo and outspend one another. This ostentation earned the meeting the title “Field of the Cloth of Gold”. Live chess with combat, a William Marshal ransom tourney, archery rounds, equestrian workshops, bardic performances, and A/S competitions will fill the days and evenings. Merchants and artisans are invited to display in the Marketplace.
Autocrats: Morgan Rabdox Severus (BAO) (mka: Angela King), 253-226-8005, . and Lady Darienne de Navarre (Madrone) (mka: Tracy Davis), 425-818-8217
Merchant’ocrat: Shaughnessy (mka: Lori Burtis)
