Knight Marshal
The Knight Marshal organizes the Chivalric efforts (heavy fighting) for the group.
Chivalric combat is marshal art where the combatants are fighting a style to simulate
historical combat fighting (non-jousting) for a Knight in armor.
Clothing and fighting styles various between the combatants because they are wearing
dress for a style of the 12th century fighter. This historical period (referred
to as The Period) is from the fall of Rome (400 AD) to when the accuracy of guns
could penetrate armor (about 1450 AD).
In this style of combat, combatants use various combinations of offensive and defensive
weapons. These weapons are weighted to simulate the actual weight and feel of their
real counterpart.
Local tournaments could be formatted so we fight one on one or groups on groups
(melees). We also travel great distances to compete in wars where there are thousands
of fighter on a single side.
