St Hermengild was a Spanish Prince who converted to Christianity. His father, the King, was still Moorish. After Hermengild's conversion, the King had his son's head chopped off with an axe! Please join us for a day of remembrance as we fight, drink and most importantly, eat chocolate.

Martial Activities:
Heavy-There will be 3 fighting scenarios for your Spanish pleasure. We will begin the day to honor St Hermengild's death with an axe and hammer tourney. Followed by a "Royal Rumble" style tourney (Two fighters will enter the ring and every 20 seconds a random draw will send in a new combatant. Last person standing wins). Your final challenge will be a Warlord's Tourney.
