Rapier Marshal
The Rapier Marshal organizes the Rapier efforts (light fighting) for the group.
Rapier combat is marshal art where the combatants are fighting a style to simulate
historical rapier combat.
Clothing and fighting styles various between the combatants because they are wearing
dress for a style of the 16th century fighter. This historical period (referred
to as Post Period) is about 1500 AD to about 1650 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 (duello) or groups on
groups (melees). We also travel great distances to compete in wars where there could
be many on a single side.
Our current Rapier Defender is: Christoforo Antonio Passavanti
And our Queen of Grace & Honor is: Mea Giuliana Passavanti
