“You know, there really is nothing better than
fighting for the chance to win your lady roses.” ~
Duke Gyrth Oldcastle

Hearken all true vassals of an anointed King!

The days of my errantry draw to a close. Soon I will
leave the ranks of the knights bachelor. Having
negotiated her dowry, I shall wed Lady Melisent la
Ruse, and ennobled by her grace, take my place amongst
the Senhors. In honor of this occasion, and inspired
by her worth and beauty I shall turn myself to such a
Quest as will do her great honor. 

Therefore, know that between the Feast Days of Saint
Saturinus and St. Cyril of Caesarea, which align with
the 30th Tourney of Ymir, until the Sunday of Sapphire
Joust I shall stand as tenan of my lady’s honor,
declaring her the best of all ladies. 

Let all men at arms, be they knight, squire or common
yeoman, yet all being in good faith with their
Sovereigns, come to the place that I abide on the
Field of Honor. There, a spear with a pennon bearing a
green roundel with a gold fleur-de-lis shall be
placed. I shall joyously receive all challenges with
matched knightly weapons of Sword and Shield, Mace,
Dagger, Longsword or Poleaxe, for contests between One
and Ten Blows received. Should I be bested, my lady
will gift you with a rose to present to the one that
inspires you. The names of all challengers will be
writ in book so that all may know the gentles of coat
armour that aided me in this Quest. 

I pray to Mary, the Queen of Heaven and St. Michael,
preudomme of God’s angels to support and sustain me as
I attempt such a feat. May the spurs be struck from my
heels and my words put to the flame should I fail in
my charge. 

Written this 3rd Day of February, the Feast Day of
Saint Blaise and Saint Ansgar, 

Bryce de Byram, Miles et Laurel
