On Wednesday June 7
th the Barony of the
Rhydderich Hael gathered to determine a new Heavy weapons Champion. 10 fighters
entered the list, with 6 competing to be the new champion. The tournament was
round-robin with each fighter fighting each other fighter once. The fighter
with the most overall wins was named the “open tournament winner”, and then the
two champion contenders with the highest number of wins fought a best of five
bout to determine the Baronial Champion.
The tournament was a great display of skill and
determination, including skill levels ranging from veterans to fighters
entering their first tournament. The final match for Baronial champion came
down to Lord Wolfgang Starcke facing off against Lord Tadhg Mag Uidhir. The
fight was a nail-bitter all the way to the end, but when the final blow was
struck it was Lord Tadhg Mag Uidhir who won the day! The open tournament winner
was Duke Sir Maynard who fought each of the fighters in a row before taking off
his helm to marshal the remainder of the tournament.
Thank you to Duke Sir Maynard von dem Steine for his service
as our previous champion and for running a successful tourney to find our
new champ. Thanks to all the fighters who came out to fill our list, and last
but not least thanks to Lady Brigette de Sainte Mere-Église for serving as our
MOL for the day.
Additionally Her Excellency and I took time to pass on the “Most
Improved fighter” award. This was no small task given the honor and skill we
witnessed during the tournament, but in the end Her Excellency and I picked
THL
Jairus of the Darklands to carry the dagger. The dagger is typically awarded to
the most improved fighter, but in this case (and given the skill of His
Lordship) we awarded this to him for the inspiration he provides, representing the
Barony and Kingdom on the field, passing his knowledge to others, and setting
an example of courtesy and Chivalry.
Thank you again to everyone who came out, and of course…Hael
Yeah!
Magnus & Miriel
