Team England and Petter Ellingsen Win the Tournament of King John III

The 23rd Tournament of King John III at Gniew Castle is now officially over!

The competition was on really high level with many strong hits. Thanks to a perfect weather we were able to run all competitions. We ran 6 jousting sessions, crossbow tournament, mounted skill at arms and a mounted melee.

Team England with Sean George and Steve Mallet became the Champion Team!
