Hear ye, hear ye, hear
ye….

… let all people of An
Tir, and of all the known kingdoms, who are not banished or enemies
of the King our lord, know that there will be a great festival of
arms and a very noble tourney, both mounted, on foot and of
archery, with crests, banners and horses covered with the arms of
the noble tourneyers, as is the ancient custom, hosted by the very
noble and very powerful Barony of Madrone and Barony of
Wyewood…

… and this tourney, known
as the Emprise of the Black Lion XIII, will be held on Saturday,
September 13, at the place called Reber Ranch in the city of Kent,
Washington.

Complete your tournament season
in style at An Tir’s grandest event for equestrian pageantry and
historically inspired tournaments.  On Saturday the
13^th there will be three parallel tournaments
(equestrian, archery, and armored combat on foot) all inspired by
the 1460 treatise of René of Anjou, overseen by four noble
judges.  This event also provides opportunities for heralds
and musicians who love to create pageantry and ambiance through the
practice of their arts.

Please note that this
is not a camping event, although
staying on site in RV’s / horse trailers is permissible.
