Knights fight at tournaments in old castles
26.05.2007
Fans of Mediaeval tournaments of knights are meeting this weekend at ancient castles in Poland. The 11th international contest, with the participation of teams from Poland, the Czech republic and Slovakia, has been staged at Krzyztopor Castle in mid-central Poland. The program envisages recreated fights for an ancient saber and a game of live chess.
About 300 representatives of knights’ brotherhoods from Poland and abroad are meeting at the Ogrodzieniec castle in southern Poland to recreate mediaeval contests between knights on horseback.
I can’t fix those images in your first comment. Do you want me to pull this thread so that you can do it over?
Pretty cool, at least for those pics that loaded.
Cool stuff.
Sorry I don’t know what you mean?
I think everything is fine with the images.
Is it not?
The last five images in your first comment did not appear. You might see them because they are cached on your computer. Why don’t you go ahead and just repost them?
If only our elections could be held this way...to the death. Winner takes office. Bush over Gore or Kerry with ease. GOP with 80% of Congress.
I am a medieval re-enactor - seeing this being done in other lands is a wonderful thing - and a CASTLE! That is the stuff of dreams!
“you might be interested” ping
Nothing wrong with studying and reenacting history, we need to learn by our past, I love history.
But it does remind me of a boss I once had. Met his wife while he was sitting out on his stoop making a set of chain mail.
Every one of the clients he assigned to me was a liberal or faggot, not surprising, it was Boston after all. He later got fired by his partner, who was a loser scumbag of an entirely other sort.
how absolutely cool!
(i have my own knight who taken me to
a real german castle three times now!)
Awesome. It would be neat to live in a castle. Probably too expensive to fix up most of the ones that are in ruins, though.
People have some real issues with Germans, for whatever reasons.
;)
Great thread!
