Скачать или смотреть Combat of the Thirty Pennsic 42

Fighting starts at the 5 minute mark. Enjoy the armour while you wait.

This is a film of a medieval fighting recreation inspired by the Combat of the Thirty (1351 AD) using modified SCA fighting rules. Fighters who are struck three stout blows to the head in one continuous fight are stunned and must yield and later give their ransom to their captor. Fighters who have three points of their body contacting the ground must yield. Opponents can be killed by a thrust to vital areas without metal armour or a bar grilled helm. Normal SCA blows to the body and the limbs have no affect.

Reportedly 53 combatants took part, 33 on the French side and 20 on the English side. The tradition has been the Captains fight with the Men at Arms that they have recruited. The French won this deed of arms. This event took place at the annual Pennsic War XLII in July 2013. Please provide comments and ratings for feedback.
