This battle was the work of the Company of Outremer, a norman/crusader household based in Pentimere of the Middle Kingdom. This all came about because we have seen the rise in crusader/military order personas. Since it is exactly what we do, we thought it would be fun, and educational, to hold an event at Pennsic that is more a living history and reenactment.

The rules were simple. Use only weapons authentic to the period of the First through the Third Crusades, only shields of said period, plus a reasonable attempt at crusader kits and garb.

All was better then anticipated. Both sides fought with honor and prowess. Hopefully this will become an annual event that we can built upon every year.
