[James C. Wagner Jr.]

**********************************************



Greetings from Gyrth Oldacstle --

With pride and pleasure, Duchess Melisande and I invite all noble 
lords and ladies to a Grand Tournament to be held on Monday August 11 
at 3:00PM on the Green Field at the 32nd Pennsic War.  This year is 
the silver anniversary of Clan Oldcastle and this tournament is part 
of our celebration and thanksgiving for that happy fact.  

Her Grace and I request that all combatants and their inspiration 
present themselves to us on the field before joining in the noble 
passages of arms.  We will be well pleased to see a great show of pomp 
and heraldry.  The tourney will be run in diverse ways.  All combat is 
to be with like weapons.  The only weapons allowed are sword and 
shield, poleweapon, and great sword.  We will be entertained to see 
both combat in the standard manner and bouts to a certain number of 
counted blows.  We will require no combatant to retire from the list 
until the appetite for chivalrous sport is sated or the Grand 
Tournament end.

My lady Melisande will grant to the champions by her own hand a 
matched pair of silver and sapphire rings for lord and lady.  The 
prize for the day's Grand Champion whom we think best embodies the 
virtues of prowess, generosity, honor, splendor, and courtesy is a 
link from the Oldcastle Knights' Chain.

Please join us and revel in a day of noble delight.
