Long has it been since the old tournaments in the abandoned Castle de Vymont.
 
Many moons have passed since the mighty equestrians raced down the field to
throw a great and worthy opponent from their horse.  
 
I long to hear the sound of steel on steel as the combatants would fight to win
the favor of a fair maiden in the crowd.
 
But I have heard rumors………
 
Could they Be True……..
 
Some travelers came down the road while I was amongst the workers in the field
one day and they were headed toward the old castle.  I yelled that they should
take the other route to the populace of Cyddlain Downs but they insisted on
going to the castle.
 
Later that evening I was awakened by the distant sounds of pick axes and
hammers.  I decided to take a walk and see for myself if the rumors were
true.  As I walked down the road I began to hear chanting as the monks used in
mass in the castle’s glory years.  When the old castle came into view I was
frozen with awe and excitement.  The Monks of Brockshore Abbey had returned. 
Praise Be!!!!!  I could hardly believe that they had embarked on the task of
rebuilding the castle.  I worked my way up to one of the monks and asked why
they had decided to rebuild the castle, the champions were all gone.  He told
us that in a vision one of the monks saw four new champions with Castle de
Vymont in the background.  With the permission of the crown they had returned
and would host a great tournament to crown the four champions.  The monk
continued to say that along with the tournament there would be games and
festivities that would put the event high on a
 most grandiose scale.  Afterwards a great Feast would be prepared and served
to the all who would attend to honor the champions of the day and the hard work
of the monks to hold such a great event.
 
Come and Join the Hartsville Friends of the Library and Brockshore Abbey in the
awesome Demo.  All forms of Martial activities will be happening throughout the
day along with demonstrations, Vendors and also a castle siege to conclude the
Martial activities of the day. Last a Feast to benefit the Hartville Friends,
money to be used to increase the collection of material on the Middle Ages in
the Hartsville Memorial Library.
 
For SCA members there is no camping or daytrip fee.  I was also able to get
the price of feast dropped to $10 a person.  
 
Reservations can be made by emailing Thomas de Witt at WTDhartslib at yahoo.com.
Even if you are not planning on attending feast, drop us a line just to let us
know that you are coming and if you have a pavilion you would like to set up
send us the footprint size.
