Don Nathaniel Wyatt bested Don Ogedei to advance.

Don Quintin entered his final four bout with one loss, and Don Griffith was unbeaten entering the final four.  Don Quintin won the first bout, giving them one loss each, and forcing another bout. Don Griffith won the second bout, giving Don Quintin two losses, which eliminates him from the tournament. Don Griffith moves on to face Don Nathaniel in the final.

The finals of the tournament was best three of five. Don Griffith Davion won the first bout, with Don Nathaniel Wyatt winning the second and third bouts. Then both combatants took a short break. Following the break, Don Nathaniel Wyatt won the fourth bout — his third win — and won the championship and the title of King’s Champion.

At court, Her Majesty announced that Lord Davius St. Jacques has been selected to serve as Queen’s Champion. Countess Marguerite reports that he was “overwhelmed” when he learned that he had been selected.

The Ladies of the Rose present also presented tokens to the following combatants to recognize their exemplary chivalrous conduct during the tournament: Lady Camille des Jardins, Baron Ian Raven of Tadcaster, Lord Guthfrith Yrlingsson, and Lord Robert Earlson.

Congratulations to Don Nathaniel Wyatt, Lord Davius St. Jacques, and to all who fought with skill and honor in today’s tournament.
