Kick butt, Kynwric! I know you can do it and I'm looking forward to watching! There's a cold beer on the other side of this tournament for you!

For honor and chivalry, sir!

[LadyWordsmith]

May your sword edge be sharp, your spirit strong, and your aim true! 

 

Good wishes winging your way from Ansteorra!

Thanks all! I'll do my best. There's 37 combatants in the list. Including 4 royal peers and 17 knights, it is a very deep list.

[U4ea]

By the way, he did fantastically well! I'm super proud to call him my wardie!

[LadyWordsmith]

Huzzah for a well fought tournament! I would love to hear details of the great chivalry and swordsmanship that took place yesterday. 

[Kathleen]

Yes yes. Congrats and details

[Ryrin]

Details!!! Pics!!!

I didn't get many pictures, unfortunately! I was manning the Social Media Tent all day! I did get a front row seat, though!

 

Kynwric won his first bout, but lost the second, which put him in the loser's bracket (double elimination). He promptly won the next round, then fought a bye fight. Which put him in the semi-finals! I list track of the rounds after that, but he was one of the last six fighters left! His last fight was the hottest part of the day, and he took a nasty tumble before he went down.

 

He was seriously awesome!

I made it to the sixth round in total, lost to a good friend and exemplary man who was announced for the Chivalry that evening. I'm extremely pleased with how I performed, especially considering the heat. 

 

I won my first round against Lord Eion, lost to Sir Adric, beat Sir Geoffrey, had a BYE, beat Master Edward in Spear, lost to him in Great Sword and Beat him in Saber to advance. Then lost to almost-Sir Thomas Alfred in Glaive (this is the bout I had the tumble in), he took my arm and it became much more a wresting match thana  fight as I had to try and either hit him with a thrust or close and use the butt-spike; and lost again with Sword and Shield in which he threw a beautiful speed wrap to my head and killed me.

 

I didn't realize how far I was until the best 2/3 random matched weapons started.

It is the most number of rounds I've gone in a Crown, second deepest into the list.

[U4ea]

Yep. What he said. :)

[Wren of the Brown]

Huzzah!

 

Sometimes losing to a good friend is its own award.

[LadyWordsmith]

Well fought! Sounds like an excellent event all around.  I look forward to seeing the pictures. (Had to send a FB request to see them.) I noted we also have a friend in common, Duchess Elizabeta.
