At left, the Duke of Lancaster (HE Drake, Baron of Bonwicke) gathers his forces along with those of the Earl of Warwick (Sir Galen of Bristol) before the first melee. And on our right, the Duke of York (Sir Pendaran, Baron of Bryn Gwlad) also prepares his force for the first melee.



At left, the first melee begins. On the right, the melee ends in Victory for Lancaster.



At left, the Duke of Lancaster's forces prepares for the 2nd melee, with the Earl of Warwick still fighting for Lancaster. (He would later throw his support to the Duke of York.)  At right, the 2nd melee is under way.



At left, Warwick is about to die. At right, a shot of the post-melee cleanup.



At left, York rolls out a ballistae. At right, the bridge battle is about to begin.



At left, the bridge battle has begun and is drawing to an end as reinforcements join on the right.



At left, Sir Axel prepares to lay on in the first round of the barrier battles. And on the right, Centurion Airaklee Wolf is victorious in his first round barrier battle.



At left, we are up to four on four in the barrier battles. Centurion Romanus is closest to us, who is facing Lord Jonathan, squire to Sir Daffydd. And Moerick's German Sallet can be seen on the other end (and side) of the barrier. He face Evets von der Drachen (in blue & black), squire to Sir Corwin von Xanten. At the end of the barrier, the Baron of Bonwicke, His Excellency Alaric Drake who portrayed the Duke of Lancaster this day, is seen taking a seat next to the Baron of Bryn Gwlad, Sir Pendaran who portrayed the Duke of York. On the right, we can see Airaklee Wolf on the opposite side, as well as Daniel at the far end, camera side.
