On behalf of Miles de Colwell
Unto Sir Andre de Montsegur does Miles de Colwell send warmest greetings. Long have I sat at table awaiting a challenge both noble and worthy. This note you have penned is both. Know that I, a squire of a noble knight and baron, gladly take up your gage and will bring a force to stand against the best that France can offer. I suggest we contend upon the field at Rowany on Easter Saturday from the hour of 3. I shall bring a force of English knights, men of Burgandy and ritters of Germany, all noble and valiant men to give you such blows as you wish to receive. Know, Sir Andre, that your men, having been captured will sit comfortably in the shade sipping iced cordial, with gentle company and pleasant music. Should any of my companions be so unfortunate to become your guest, know that their ransoms shall be made before they step upon the field. Should you have trouble recognising our company you may merely look for the banner of Edward, King of France and England and there you will find us. If any homme d'armes, wishing to find renown and thinking Edward's cause just wouldst wish to stand beside myself, they may send word to me at milesdecolwell@gmail.comI am Miles de Colwell, esquire Argent, a chief and a chevron sable, overall a gryphon segreant gules | | Monday, December 22nd, 2008 | 8:40 pm

An Invitation to a Deed of Arms
Let me tell you, dear friends, of a Remarkable Deed of Arms that once occurred during the Breton Succession War of the 14th Century. On March 27th, 1351, in Central Brittany, there was held a no-holds-barred tournament between the Josselin Faction (the French) and the Ploërmel Faction (the English). At an agreed upon place, thirty men from each faction (including allies and mercenaries), armed and armoured themselves in the fashion of the day for war, not pleasure, and set forth with their lances, swords, axes, maces and daggers to do each other ruin. By the end of the day, the French had won. Nine English and six French lay dead with many combatants captured. Some few died of their wounds thereafter. But all prisoners were well treated and released for a small ransom. The renown attached to the combatants from both Kingdoms followed them for many years to come – with money and offices following the glory they earned in this famous tourney. With the spirit of those Magnificent Knights in mind, I offer a gauntlet to the fighters of Angelterre on behalf of all those noble combatants who call France home! Whether they be Parisians, Bretons, Gascons, folk from Anjou, Picardy or even southerners from the Langue D’oc such as myself. Yes, even our Hainauter and Burgundian cousins are welcome in our ranks! For does not the blood of the Valois pump in all our hearts? Who will take up that gauntlet? Is there a noble from that green and pleasant land who might put his tea-sipping aside to join us upon the field of battle? Or is the blood of the English as tepid as their beer…? Regardez Andre de Montsegur, KSCA. PS: Please make all applications for joining the French side in writing to Andre (utamaro010@yahoo.co.uk) before March 31st, 2009. PPS: For more information, you might like to check out the Combat of the Thirty Website at: http://www.sca.org.au/abertridwr/t30.html Current Mood: cheerful | | Wednesday, October 29th, 2008 | 6:04 pm
