[Sacredstone] Challenge of Arms - Return to Crecy 2

[Simone de Venezia via Sacredstone]

As the sun rests high on this Tuesday, June 9th, Anno Societatis 50

BE IT KNOWN far and wide that being desirous to test my character and
better myself as a practitioner of the most Noble Arte of Defense and
further being of mind to do honor to my Lady Wife, Signora Muirenne
l’Aloire and hoping in all humility to bring honor and exaltation unto the
fair Barony of the Sacred Stone, the Canton of Middlegate, House Corvus and
the Academie d’Espee, do I formally issue this personal Provocare Arma.
As challenger I, Signore Simone de Venezia, do give notice to all
practitioners of the Noble Art of Defense, be they Novice, Scholar, Free
scholar, Provost or Master of Defense that it is my intention to formally
invite all comers to face me upon the field of honor at Return to Crecy II
in the form and manner which follows.


Without malice aforethought and in a spirit of competition and learning I
shall make myself available when the officials of the day declare that the
field is open. Thenceforth, as time permits throughout the day I shall take
and hold the field against all who seek to answer this challenge, in
honorable combat as is the custom of our Society. These bouts shall be
fought singly and we who fight shall discuss and agree upon specific rules
and whether weapons shall be matched before our bout begins. Each bout
shall end when tre colpi di veri (three true blows) have been struck by an
opponent as is the custom.


Furthermore, let all who accept this challenge record their name, school
and rank, along with any words of advice, praise, criticism or friendship
they so desire into a book I shall provide so that their deeds and the
lessons of the day might be remembered by me forevermore and not fade with
the passing of years.


In order to add greater faith that these are my words and true intent, I
Signore Simone de Venezia, Citizen of the Barony of the Sacred Stone,
Seneschal to the Canton of Middlegate, Scholar within the Academie d’Espee
and member in good standing of House Corvus do affix my personal seal of
arms; Or, a fer-a-loupe inverted and on a chief embattled Gules, three
goblets Or, unto this missive as it is written and dated upon this 9th day
of June, Anno Societatis 50.
