Greetings cousins
It’s my happy duty to report that noble Lynden von Potruff was successful in meeting their challengers at Feast of the Hare.
They met myself, Amalia and Arcill as challengers, with Meister Wilhelm requesting the pleasure of the first bout, and won 6 of the 10 bouts.
They then held the field successfully for 15 minutes against all comers, using heavy rapiers for the first half and light weapons for the second half.
His Majesty was present and awarded Lynden their red scarf on the field.
To my knowledge Lynden is the first youth fencer to challenge into the Academy – if there are others I’m happy to learn of them!
Many thanks to the academy for supporting this challenge at Feast of the Hare.
