Defending the Gate XIII
(2014-03-29 - Site opens at 10 AM & Closes at 10 PM)
Sudentorre
The English king is marching with his
army toward Calais. A French army blocks
his progress near the town of Agincourt.
Henry has offered battle but the French
are stalling. Why not pass the time
with a day of competitions? Join us as
we pit the English and French against
each other in a more pleasant day than
what may come tomorrow. He that attends
this day and comes safe home will stand
a tip-toe when this day is mentioned!
Old men will forget, yet not all will be
forgotten. We will remember what feats
you do this day. And good gentles in
Atlantia then-a-bed shall think
themselves cursed they were not here… at
