The Knight Marshal serves as the primary representative of the Earl Marshal, overseeing all martial activities within the group and ensuring that all relevant safety procedures are followed.
In our martial activities, Marshals of various specialties serve as safety officers, conducting inspections of equipment and controlling the field of combat to ensure participants and spectators are safe. They are not referees or judges.
The Knight Marshal is esponsible for attending weekly fighter practices & baronial tournaments and ensuring that the fighters on the field are fighting in a safe manner as well as guiding new fighters through the basic steps of combat.
The Baronial Marshal does not need to be a knight. If injuries or equipment breaks the Marshal is required to document it, and file a report with the Baronial Seneschal and the Kingdom Earl Marshal along with their standard monthly report.
The Marshal is also responsible for equipment (for lights, fighting area, etc.) and loaner gear that the barony supplies for fighters to ensure they can fight safely.
Further information can be requested by contacting the Kingdom Earl Marshal marshal@atenveldt.org or reviewing the society handbooks.
