Synopsis: It is the Christmas celebration of Queen Elizabeth of England’s silver jubilee. A special festival has been decreed. There will be contests of skill, both for the highborn and commoner to include tests of play writing, dancing and stable shoveling. The penultimate contest will be that of Renaissance Knight, and the victor will spend a year at the Queen’s court. Two noble families with old rivalries are each determined that their son shall gain the favor of the queen. The two young knights, as different as night and day, will joust in the Great Hall. A sight not to be missed, for certain! |
