Kriegstreiber Multi-weapons Tourney
Kreigstreiber Multi-Weapons Tournament was an annual tourney held in June or July in the Barony of Three Mountains Area. Founded by Master Manfred Kriegstreiber, first and fourth King of An Tir. The event continued after his absence from SCA participation with no change of name.
The event was a demo open to the public on Saturday and attracted artisans, fighters, and entertainers from across the Kingdom to win prizes, sell their goods, and amaze the public.
