The office of the King_s Champion was originally bestowed upon Robert Marmion along with the castle and manor of Tamworth and the Manor of Scrivelsby in 1066 of the Medieval period. From the medieval period to the 19th century, the officer_s role was to act as champion for the King at his coronation. The King_s Champion was required to ride in full armor leather and metal gauntlet and all into the Westminster Hall during the coronation banquet, escorted the Earl Marshal and the Lord High Constable, all in full dress, robes and coronets, and await the challenge to all comers. The King himself could not fight in single combat against anyone except an equal. In later years, the Garter King of Arms read out the challenge, and the Champion drew down the leather and metal gauntlet at the Westminster Hall, then again in the middle of the Hall and finally at the foot of the throne. Wear this costume to a costume party and prepare yourself to duel with the pretty lass happens to pick it up the thrown gauntlet. Important Features:
