Night of the Fools
April 16th-18th, 2004
Barony of Lochmere

Its April 1585 and a glorious New Year!  Or is it?  It
has been three 
years now since Pope Gregory XIII has issued his
"Inter Gravissimas", 
replacing our Julian calendar with what is becoming
known as the 
Gregorian calendar.  No more shall the New Year begin
on April 1!  
France has accepted the new reckoning, but those silly
fish 
Englishman still have not.  Foolery, merriment and
fighting will be a 
plenty as the French try to convince those "poisson
d'avril" of the 
error of their ways!

A single elimination Fool's Tourney will be held with
a prize for 
Best Use of a Period Fool's Parry Device, best Fool's
Death and 
overall Winner of the Tourney.  After lunch melee
style fighting will 
be the feature of the day.  Non combatants will be
encouraged to 
participate in the revelry by answering riddles
through out the day 
from "Molly the Fishmonger".

There will be an A&S display in the theme of "Fish in
Period".  In 
addition there will be both a Youth Brewing, and Adult
Brewing 
competition.

As this is an event of foolery and folly, performers
are encouraged 
to attend.  A bardic circle will be held after feast.
