Bretonnian Jubilee

To celebrate the new Royal edict (the Bretonnian Army Book) and the five years of the Earl Cadfael's court, the Marquess of Quenelles call all valiant Knights of the Realm to a period of games. In the Marquess' keep you will find all sort of entertainment, from jeasters to troubadours, from archer competition to knightly joust. The main equestrian game will be the Quintain.

Other celebrations are going on all around Bretonnia. They are all registered by Lord Cadfael's scribe at this address:

It takes its name from the road that separated the 5th and 6th maniple of the ancient Elf camp; a road that was destined for the purpose of combat training. On this road a pole was placed, standing six feet high and against which the elves trained with swords and bows, The Bretonnian civilization transformed this training into exercises of dexterity to be done on horseback, to execute while galloping with a lance against a pole, initially having a barrel attached to it, (as is depicted in the fresco of Saint Roland of Mevale, near Gisoreux, dated -146annoGillei), then transformed into the profile of an enemy holding a shield, initially in a fixed position, then becoming capable of rotating around the palus (denominated "orc" or "greenskin", enemy par excellence of Bretonnia).

1) the parade, procession of the noble knights and their retinue before the public, wearing embroidered clothing with their family coat of arms. It took place in the first days of the Jubilee.

2) the joust, effectuated by the Knights, (after having changed from the clothing of the procession and wearing armor), that consisted in the breaking of the lance against the target.

Tilt at the Quintain consists in hitting the shield of the orc while running on your horse and dodging the morning star when it will rotate on itself for the hit.

There are three rounds in which every knight can try to hit better as he can the shield.

Every Knight will run three times against the orc, he will hit the shield on 4+ and he will be hit by the manikin at the 6+. If hit by the morning star the Knight will suffer of a penalty of 20 pts and he will be unhorsed on a further roll of 4+.

Points: A roll of 4 will score 10 pts to the Knight, a roll of 5 to hit will score 15 pts to the Knight and a roll of 6 to hit will score 20 pts to the Knight.

Tactics: A Knight can choose to improve his chances to center the target or he otherwise can try to attack in a safe mode.

Running slow, in that way the knight has more time to aim at the center of the terget, but he'll be hit easier by the mornight star. The Knight has +1 to hit and he will be hit by the Orcish manekin at the 5+.

Running fast, in that way the Knight will run away faster from the manekin but he will have less time to aim at the shield. The Knight has -1 to hit and he will not be hit back by the Orcish manekin.
