A '''chivalric weapons tournament''' has the restriction that only [[chivalric weapon]]s can be used (so no [[dagger]]s, [[florentine fighter]]s, [[spear]]s, etc.)

The annual [[William Marshall]] [[feast]]/[[tournament]] held in the [[Barony of Stormhold]] each December is run as a chivalric weapons tournament.

This appears to be a regional or local usage.

A '''liturgy''' is a prescribed [[religious]] ritual, such as the [[Catholic Mass]]. The use of [[music]] during such ceremonies is an obvious development, especially in order to attract people to the [[church]], and so the [[Middle Ages]] and [[Renaissance]] furnish us with a vast amount of liturgical music.

''Rumex acetosa''

'''Sorrel''' originated in [[England]] and [[Europe]]. It is a soft-stemmed plant with large, leaves spreading from the centre and grows about 60cm tall. The leaves of this hardy plant, which can grow up to 15cm long, are used for medicinal and cullinary purposes. The leaves are [[red]]-[[green]], and the flowers are [[purple]]ish in colour. Sorrel grows in all soil conditions, and is best planted in Spring, and cut back in Summer.

The leaves have a somewhat apple-like flavour, but they also contain binoxalate of potash, thus making them somewhat acidic. This is less pronounced in young leaves and it is often recommended that you eat only young leaves for this reason.

It can be mixed with [[oil]] and [[vinegar]] to create a sauce for your [[meat]]s. Apparently goes well with [[lamb]], [[pork]] and [[goose]].
