Although not a competitive jousting event, The Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire in southern california does feature jousting as part of its entertainment. Virginia Hankins will be performing this year as the first female knight hired by the faire in its 50 year history.
The Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire is taking place Saturdays and Sundays, 10am - 7pm, April 7 - May 20.
Virginia Hankins is the actress and stuntwoman who played Joan of Arc against William the Conquerer on Spike TV's hit show Deadliest Warrior Season 3. There are rumours that a certain princess in the movie "Brave" was inspired by Virginia's life. Whether or not that is true, the similarities are uncanny.
