This is the tradition when a fighter is elevated to a Knight in the SCA. Here, his Majesty Ralph Bigod of Hereford, with his Queen, Kassandra de Catania, gives a different, Norman, version of the buffet that the new Knight, Michael, receives.

This was done at 2007's Uprising event June 16th.

  • In fact it's one of the few parts of a knighting that is period, along side the vigil. But yes it was common place in many cultures for many different reasons, as he describes briefly in the video.

  • The buffet is symbolic of the pain that is a knights lot and last blow that for honor's sake can go unanswered - It speaks of conviction of the King that this is the last blow the Knight (the king man) takes without answering - (ie..The king now expects the knight to mete out low justice to all - the knight need look no farther than himself to decide what is just and right - That's my two cents

  • It was a Norman tradition. it was also a viking tradition. it was to signify the last blow that a true warrior should receive. a "right of manhood" as you will.

  • Dedication!
