Introduction to Knighthood

A Parent-Child Renaissance Workshop
(subject to availability and minimum class size)

Saturday, September 13, from 8:30 a.m. to Noon

(spend the rest of the day in the Faire)

Affirm values of honor, valor, and dedication!

   Children 9 years and older with a parent/guardian meet with Sir Talon, the Blue Knight from Scotland, to learn about the long-standing tradition of knighthood, the values and purpose he serves, and the armor and weaponry of the time. Be introduced to jousting and fencing skills they use, learn what made knights so respected, meet the knight’s squire and learn about his job, and meet Sir Talon’s horse, one of the rescued horses who have been trained for the joust. Later in the morning, Master David Wall will show you chain mail made to protect men from weapons of the time and teach you to form wire into chain mail. End your morning with Master Archer Vann who will share what archer’s did in these early times, then teach you safety rules and skills to shoot the long bow.
