Unto all good gentles of cote armour, do I Baron Gregoire de Lyon tenan of the Couter of Chivalry and Champion of Her Most Radiant Majesty Anne Marie, issue greetings and a challenge.

For the honor of Her Majesty AnneMarie, I shall stand the field at the Tournament of the Unicorn and face all who would accept my challenge.

The venan may propose the terms of the combat, choosing from the following options: standard SCA rules, five counted blows, a continuous combat until Her Majesty feels that sufficient prowess has been displayed.

The combat will be chosen from the following at the venans’ and her Majesty’s discretion: sword and shield, sword and buckler, matched pollaxes.

As tenan , I shall have on hand 1 dozen red roses. At the completion of each challenge, assuming that Her Majesty is satisfied with the vigor of the contest, I will present the challenger or his/her consort with a single bloom.

In service to Her Majesty and the Middle Kingdom,
Baron Gregoire de Lyon
