Since we don't engage in battlefield confrontations, I wonder at how much of this will actually apply to us as an Order?  Thoughts, all?

Perhaps not yet but someday it may be relevant. I tend to envision our order growing and developing to where we could someday conduct or at least participate in some reenactments. For example, I think it would be excellent to reenact the battle of the thirty!

Oh yes, that would be cool.

Agreed...the battle of the thirty would be most engaging...and would attract much in the way of onlookers and attendants.  I refuse to play a French knight, however...even though a hot buttered croissant pierced by a spear would probably be a most...welcome sight on a battlefield as a CoA perhaps?  LOL

[Sir Edward]

The good news is that it doesn't have to be a one-for-one re-enactment. But rather, it could be a "Pas d'armes" that is inspired by it.

[Sir Gerard de Rodes]

The Battle of the Thirty would be great to re-enact, there is someone trying to get just such a themed event together over here.

I hope they have another one at the SCA Lilies War this year.  Last year I was able to take one prisoner for my team (English) before falling to an opponents' blow.
