The Road to Rouen III
“Lo, good gentles, in this year of grace, the realm of France is sorely beset. The banners of the King of England do fly upon our soil, and the chivalry of France doth answer with shield and lance. In the shadow of Rouen’s walls, the forests are astir, for all folk of courage and craft are summoned. Hark ye, for the fields shall be filled with deeds worthy of the ancients, and the tale of Rouen shall be writ by thine own hand.
Twice before hath the road to Rouen been contested, and twice hath the fleur-de-lis prevailed. Yet now, the lion-hearted English return, seeking to wrest the road from France’s grasp. Who shall hold it now? Will the lilies bloom thrice, or shall St. George’s cross at last ride triumphant?
What is Road to Rouen? It is a grand 14th-century immersive event within the SCA. Here, each participant pledges their allegiance—either to the French cause or the English crown. You’ll find yourself not merely watching but living history. Lords will receive sealed messages run by swift couriers. In the woods, you’ll walk through living war camps—fires crackling as cooks prepare meals, knights arming with the help of squires, and artisans crafting with period tools. Throughout the day, you’ll engage in deeds of valor in the woods, learn from 14th-century classes, and even test your skill in an archery tournament. It is a world where cooks, châtelaines, and men-at-arms breathe life into the past. At Road to Rouen, you are not just a spectator; you are a living thread in the medieval tapestry.”
Road to Rouen is a fully immersive 14th-century SCA event, held at Camp Timbercrest, 1169 Moore Rd, Randolph, NY. The event runs September 11th–13th, with the Deed of Arms in the woods starting at noon on Saturday and concluding around 5 PM.
Bellinger Lodge can sleep 36 in a slumber-party setup and offers a dining hall and a commercial kitchen. Jackman Lodge sleeps 32, and yurts and cabin tent units add more sleeping capacity. The site features an archery range and ample space for medieval camps.
Sam Awry is the English captain, and Duke Maynard is tentatively the French captain. More details, including class and event registration, will follow soon!
