THE CAROLINGIAN CHALLENGE IV
Feb 27, 1993

The gauntlet is thrown.  Lord Danulf Donaldson challenges all who
might think that they have skill with the rapier or strength of wits.
Fencers will be able to demonstrate their ability in a variety of
lists, including a masters challenge list.  Those whose skills are not
dependent on a sharp blade may find need of a sharp mind.  Duke Sir
Vissevald Selkirksson challenges all to Elizabethan chess matches, in
limited time, to find a most worthy opponent for the ultimate chess
match, using fencers as pieces.  After the afternoon's excitement, a
scrumptious feast prepared by Lady Dante of Felding will delight the
palate as well as the soul.  For those who cannot make it through the
day without a full belly, lunch will be served.  Of course, the night
would not be complete without dancing and flirting with Carolingia's
finest.
