Tournament (1080)

[TheFlax]

The melee raged on.

Hermant and Gaspard charged Alexandre le Sueur, but the latter proved too strong for them and managed to dismount Gaspard, capturing him while Hermant withdrew.

Nearby, Eloi de Montferrat was overwhelmed by the combined assault of Bertin and Gontran, but nevertheless succeeded in moving away from the flanking knights.

Further along, the battle between Alain de Rohan and Hugues de Champagne finally came to a close as Prince Louis bloodied Raoul de Chatillon, the blue team finally making headway in this part of the field.

Yet, the red team overtook their flank with Alphonse la Hire capturing Simon de Montpierre and Christophe de Perronne capturing Thierry de Rochefort.

It seemed very well that the next moments would decide which team would triumph.

Both Raymond de Provence and Hermant de Mauvoisin met again, in a head to head confrontation. They were both wounded and tiring from the melee. This would be the fight that would end with one of them as a capture. Hermant met Raymond's high sword with a low blow of him mace that collided in a solid hit to the Duke's abdomen. Raymond was thrown out of his saddle and moments later it was over, as Hermant captured him.

Not far from there, Hermant's comrades for the tournament were in dire straits. Loup de Gisors faced off Gaeten de Rethel and was promptly dispatched by a devastating blow. Meanwhile, Eloi de Montferrat was surrounded by no less then four knights of the blue team. Already weakened by his injury, he fought desperately and for a moment the fight appeared at a standstill. Nevertheless, the inevitable happened and Gontran de Linars managed to slip a blow past Eloi's guard, distracting the knight enough for Alexandre le Sueur to capitalize on another opening and dismount Eloi. The four knights of the blue team then promptly captured him.

On the right hand side of the field, Alain de Rohan was left alone by his team, but that did not deter him. Spotting Alphonse la Hire and Christophe de Perronne next to each other, he charged at them, confident that after his codpiece display, he'd have no trouble handling them. For, Alphonse and Christophe, he seemed an easy enough capture, but they were soon proven wrong by the fury of his assault which left both men reeling. Alphonse was pushed back while a withdrawing Christophe was dismounted by a lucky blow, netting Alain his second capture of the tournament.

[TheFlax]

Hermant de Mauvoisin continued on the offensive after felling Duke Raymond de Provence and found himself facing Gaeten de Rethel. Both men were wounded, but Hermand's momentum and his weapon choice gave him the edge he needed to defeat the knight opposing him, netting him his second capture.

Alexandre le Sueur had left the side of Gaeten a moment earlier to charge at Thomas de Saint-Armand, who was alone in the middle of the field and wounded. Yet, Thomas proved himself a more difficult quarry than expected and with powerful swings of his mace, sent Alexandre retreating with a few bruises.

Like vultures, the reminder of the blue team converged on Raoul de Chatillon, with Bertin de Montsault even cutting off Prince Louis from his intended victim. He was joined by Gontran de Linars and Alain de Rohan. They were met by a veritable tempest. Raoul had watch his teammates fall one by one, and he would not go down so easily. Swinging his lance left and right, he maneuvered his mount to jab at each of his attackers, forcing back Gontran and Bertin, while dismounting the Duke of Bretagne and getting a capture in the process.
