So last week my friend and I decided to cross the IL- WI border and head to the Renaissance Faire. The Bristol Renaissance Faire is a themed festival, where workers and attenders can dress like the lords and ladies of the English Medieval Renaissance time.
The faire is pretty fun because there is tons of food, activities, shopping, and just people. One of the most interesting things is to see all the people dress up and walk around.
One of the main things that we did was watch the Queen's Jousting Tournament. It was neat because we were all given a knight to cheer, based on where we were sitting. It was kind of funny that a lot of the colors and crests of the knights reminded us of the families from Game of Thrones. But the fun thing about the jousting tournament is that its continuous. Which means that the first joust of the day is a warm up and knighting ceremony, the second tournament is the Queen's tournament for the favor of the queen, and the last tournament is a continuation from the second tournament, since it's scripted that a knight from the challenge cheats, and now it's a blood tournament for pride and vengeance.
