On Sunday the Fourth of October A.S. 50 (2015), at the Great Southern Gathering, Francois, Lord Guildmaster of Defense, on behalf of the assembled body of Guildmasters, did invite Provost Gilbert Walchope to play his Guildmaster's Prize. Gilbert presented a demonstration of the major attacks for dagger from Fiore dei Liberi, the defenses and the counters. Then was he tested in Spear, Spadone, Sword and Buckler, Longsword, Rapier and Dagger, and Single Sword, by the assembled Guildmasters: Caleb, Dameon, Francois, ibn Jelal, Silfren, Owen, and William.
