Arriving at Belsay Castle on Saturday afternoon, we were amazed to discover a medieval tournament reenactment was going on. The field in front of the ancient castle was marked off for the jousting, and it was surrounded by enthusiastic viewers, not least the young children often wearing or carrying some sort of knightly paraphernalia. Following the demonstrations of falconry by authentically costumed gentlemen, ladies and varlets, we were entertained by a fool, and then came four knights on horseback with their lances. And later we even saw and photographed two swordsmen. The best part? The knight winning the tournement rode the best horse, a noble grey destrier, and he carried the Ogle arms - three crescents on a red field. Who said it wasn't Ogle time!
