Battle of the Thirty

This tournament, a recreation of the famous Battle of the Thirty from the Hundred Years War, is held each year at Pennsic. All combatants must wear 14th-century style armor, and wield spears or pollaxes. Fighters hit in vulnerable spots or knocked to the ground are "killed", and fighters sustaining three head blows are "stunned" and escorted from the field to be ransomed.
