Ponte Alto 10th AnniversaryAnd Baronial
InvestitureFebruary 23rd, 2002
Barony of Ponte Alto
Greetings unto the populace of fair Atlantia from Her
noble Barony of Ponte
Alto. Come one  come all to help us celebrate the 10
anniversary of this
fine barony and the investiture of  Ponte Alto's
fourth Baron and Baroness,
Sir Thomas of Calais and Baroness Denise Duvalier.  It
will be a day filled
with fun and festivities culminating in a delicious
evening feast.
Fighting: There will be both heavy and rapier fighting
but no archery due to
site  restrictions. The heavy tournament will be a
rose challenge tourney in
matched weapons  forms. The winner of the bout
receives a flower for the
lady who inspires him that day. To  win the tournament
a fighter must
compete in at least three of the weapons forms. The
same  style of
tournament will be held for the rapier tourney with
the same rules for
victory.  Their newly coroneted Excellencies will also
be picking both their
heavy and rapier  champions. If you are interested in
competing for either
of these please contact their  Excellencies the
morning of the event.
A&S: An A&S competition will be run with the theme
being the baronial colors
of Ponte Alto,  black and gold. Also the baronial
notables, baronial bard,
brewer, and artisan will all be  changing over as
well. Please contact Lady
Aelfwynn with any questions. Lady AElfwyn of  Whitby
