Name of Event:  Le pas d'armes de l'Arbre d'or
Date(s) of Event:  November 10-12, 2006
Hosting Group:  Canton of Elvegast

Description:  Let it be known that on the eleventh day of November,
Anno Societatis Forty One, the Canton of Elvegast in the Kingdom of
Atlantia will host a Pas d' Armes in celebration of the marriage of
Margaret of York to Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, for such a day
of pageantry, chivalry, and celebration shall not soon be repeated.

The spectacle of the processions, pageantry, and banquets that did
accompany the nuptials of Margaret of York (sister to King Edward IV
of England) to Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy in July of 1468 was
such that contemporaries did wonder at the wealth and splendour of the
Burgundian court.  The highlight of the festivities was a Pas d'Armes
held in the Market Place at Bruges.

Martial Activities:  All participants shall conduct themselves with
the utmost care to advance the ideals of chivalry.  Each will be
announced as they enter the field the first time. You are encouraged
to bring your own herald, banners, etc. to make your presence known
and add to the day's pagentry.  There shall be single rounds of combat
both at the barrier and one against the other.  At the end of the day,
a grand melee shall commence.  He who would win the day will be the
most gracious of fighters though he may not prove himself most
victorious.  For more information about weapons and armour requirements
as well as a more detailed description of the tournament, please see
the event website or contact the Marshal in Charge, Mestre Callistus
Gill (callixtus.gill at gmail.com or 919-844-4423 NLT 10 PM).

Arts & Sciences Activities:  Our A&S activities for the day will focus
heavily on the 14th and 15th Centuries.  Our first activity will be a
competition for best heraldic display with prizes awarded to best
heraldic display by a household as well as best heraldic display by an
individual.  Documentation for this competition is encouraged but not
required.  Entrants are requested to display their entries for the
heraldic display competition on the field to help add to the glory and
pageantry of the day.  In addition to the heraldic display competition
there will also be an open display in which all artisans are invited
to display completed works as well as works in progress.  Active
displays are welcome and all artisans are invited to spend time with
their displays during the day to discuss their arts with the populace
and fellow artisans.  Documentation is strongly encouraged for entries
in the open display.  Please contact Lady Rosalind Delamere
(rosalind at elizabethanmafia.com or 919-849-2284 NLT 9PM) if you have
