THE IMPERIAL
TERRAINS & TABLES
And now the tables ... because as you know or not ... at the First Tournament
of the Emperor, the terrain are not only placed ... but they are beautiful!
Table 1 : Byzance ! Of course, because the tournament theme is
"C'est

Table 2 : Jérusalem
With its impenetrable walls and square towers ...

Open ground, if there is ...
with the sole decorations : the Grand Mosque (production

Table 5 : Ashekelon
City also known as Ascalon ... with the sea, palm trees and its small mosque.
A moment of culinary culture: the Franks had brought the shallots in the West
after the siege of Ascalon, at the end of the first crusade.
Tble 6 : Antakya
The city whose current name is Antioch.
A beautiful city with a small mosque and minaret of another type (production

THE KINGS !
Tradition requires ... Yes, even though it only dates from last year
and the
Imperial Emperor's Birthday!
Remember the helmets and swords of barbarian and Roman ...
... The bard Boris and Jean-Yves arresting a false emperor ... played
by Gilles conspicuously absent from this competition ... and especially the
organization of the dishes!
Fortunately, a dishwasher was at Our and our disposal this year ... but it
does not replace the frenchjester either!
So the tradition of participants continues to style and this year they
are made kings!
And to begin, to give honor where honor, the Emperor of kings:
Then the Foreigner that gives Our Tournament its international status
: Bruce who finish second !

without hesitation this englishmen !
Right in a style that we do not borrow it ... Jean-Marie!
With the cap seems to be the favorite player : Denis
Didier ... who will win the "black cat" friends of Byzantium!
In a "fireman" style: Eric and Bruno right.
In another style that belongs to him ... and we leave too Fabrice ...

the other! Astonishing that boy!
Another Fabrice ... Simpson? Better known as The Prince Fafa!
