Tournament declaration

Tournament declaration
The challenge and set of rules generally circulated to stir excitement for a tournament or pas d’armes. Generally in the form of an introduction (that tells who the defenders--the tenans--are), a time and place, the rules to be followed, whether weapons and armour will be provided, and what prizes or penalties might be incurred or expected from victory. Modern tournament companies have begun using the declaration for the same purpose; see the Company of Saint George tournament declarations in the Knighthood, Chivalry & Tournaments Resource Library. Another example from the 15th century can be found in Chronique: The Journal of Chivalry \#16.
♦ When the tourney or pas d’armes will be held
♦ Where the tourney will be held
♦ Who is sponsoring the tourney
♦ Why these gentles are sponsoring the tourney
♦ The specific styles that are expected to be fought
♦ Allowed weapons
♦ Special requirements
