René-style Tournament

René-style Tournament
In the context of the SCA, several groups have attempted to stage tournaments in the tradition of King Renй d’Anjou as detailed in his tournament book. Such tourneys generally have something of the festival about them, several activities tied together into a general theme. The Tenans of Noble Folly, Grand Company of the Peacocks, and Company of Saint Michael have all experimented with the format, based on an English translation done by Dr. Elizabeth Bennett. This tournament style is a fictional ‘perfect tournament’ as envisioned by Renй as it might have been done during the 15th century. See especially Chronique: The Journal of Chivalry \#15.
