Get out your armour, your ladies brimless hats, and try not to get put in the stocks. The 8th Annual Knights of the Northern Realm Renaissance Faire and Tournament took place Saturday afternoon.

Sir Thomas of Strathcona tells us one of their goals is historical accuracy, "Not living fantasy in Hollywood, but actually full suits of armour. Including the one thing which is an exception, which is modern sports cans. You don't want to get hit in the coddles with a sword."

Families had the chance to try traditional medieval board games. There was also stocks, jousting, battles in real armour, and a catapult. The Faire takes place yearly at Gazebo Park on 104 street and 83 avenue. (blb)
