The Barony of Caer Mear invites you to a celebration of the twelfth century at this Angevin Fall Hunt. So put away your round shield, gothic plate, or houppelaunde and pull out your chainmail, aketon, and blieut! Journey with us back to the time of Richard the Lion-Heart, William Marshal, and Eleanor of Aquitaine.
Like the Angevins, who ruled England, and most of France from 1154 to 1215, we enjoy a good fight.
Fall Hunt: (for armoured combat and duello) while away an hour as would a noble from Anjou, Normandy, or England - Hunt the elusive beasts of the woods! Next, experience the hierarchy of feudal life with our 12c Melee Tourney: Your rank will count on the field so knights, assemble your mesinees of squires and sergeants for combat, glory and ransom. Then end your fighting day the way a Angevin king might... siege a vassal's castle by engaging in combat across the barrier. Prizes shall be awarded to the day's victors, as well as the best 12c fighting harness. Combat archers are encouraged to attend. Our day shall begin at 10:00 am, with authorizations.
To inspire the heart and mind. S.W.A.T.(Spun, Warped, and Twisted) will host a 12c Fiber Arts
Day. (works in progress are encouraged). Our A&S Competitions shall be:
12c garb accessory, (hosted by S.W.A.T.)
12c men's and women's garb, (worn during feast)
Best poem written in a 12c style (troubadour, trouvere, andulisian, etc.)
A hearty Feast of the year's harvest, full of the bounty of the Hunt shall be prepared once again by Lady Caitlin MacAlister (Kay Jensen) (804) 262-5509.

Afterwards, compete to be named "prince of the puy" in our 12c bardic competition, or simply come listen to our circle. Rumour has it that the Hunter's Horn may sound yet again (and again, and again), liken to Olifant, as it did last year. (The site is discreetly wet.)
