felis_lupusHalloween, and I got to dress up this year. :) In "normal" clothes... still dressing up. I made my way through Worcester, figuring out alternate routes through the paving... found the beautiful, beautiful site, and found my people. Yay for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nomadmwe and his putting up with my space-cadetyness... ;)
Found the Queen and the Captain of the Guard, did guardy stuff, watched the fights...
I never thought I would have so much fun watching the fighters... It's a lot different, seeing bouts one-on-one, when they actually have space to MOVE. Not like Birka, and not like melees, when it's just noise... this was a day of good, clean fights.
The new Prince and Princess are from Lochleven, Sir Edward the Grey and his consort Meggie. They are awesome people, and the win was so well deserved. It will be nice to have some different people on the throne, too. Meggie declared her desire to learn to fence as well, and I think that's just a fantastic idea.
Master Julien, after doing well enough to make Carolyne nervous, was awarded the honor of carrying the Shield of Chivalry for the remainder of Konrad and Brenwen's reign. Hooray!
My photos are here. Took a ton more, but I think those are the best of the set...
Other peoples' excellent sets of photos:
Baroness Molly
Iryari Vairavi
Marion del Oakes
