A COURTLY DUEL
MELEE TOURNAMENTS
Squires and knights of the realms demonstrate their amazing dueling abilities with swords, rapiers and chivalry.
The sword was an especially powerful symbol for a medieval knight. It was the weapon used to give him his status as a knight in his initiation ceremony, it had usually been blessed by a priest, and the shape of the blade and handle was often used as a crucifix for prayer. Despite this romantic symbolism, iron and steel swords were lethal weapons; long, heavy, and sharp, they could easily sever a limb with one blow.
On the edge of your seat action, as opponents show their skill and prowess, vying to be the victor in an amazing Melee display of power and skill.
