*Tournament of Love and Beauty*
February 20, 2010
Barony of Ponte Alto
 ------------------------------

In celebrations of the 17th year of the Barony of Ponte Alto a passage of
arms will be held that exemplifies chivalric love and beauty, both on and
off the field, as can be found in the ballads and tourneys of the 15th
century. The winner of the tourney will “crown” their consort with the halo
of Love and Beauty.

Moreover, we entreat all such knights, barons, lords, squires and men at
arms who intend to participate in the tourney to bring with them their best
displays of heraldic achievements, including banners, shields, surcoats and
crests. Inspections and authorizations will begin at 10:00 am with
Tournament to begin promptly after at 10:30 am.
