Many thanks to Marion Derouet for providing the following information:
On the weekend of September 5 - 6, a jousting tournament based on the writings of King Rene of Anjou will take place on the grounds of the beautiful Château du Plessis-Bourré, a fifteenth century moated castle with a drawbridge in the Loire Valley in France. Le Tournoi de l'Ordre de Saint Michel (aka the Tournament of the Order of St Michael) will be comprised of both mounted and ground competitions, including: jousting, mounted melee, mounted skill at arms, foot combat and archery. On Saturday evening, there will also be fifteenth century style feast.
The tournament is hosted by Les Ecuyers de l'Histoire and has been organized by the current leader of Les Ecuyers, Michael Sadde, who will also be competing in the tournament.
