KEJA "knights" a student transforming Liz into "Damn Elizabeth"

The path to knighthood is one of stamina, courage, determination and guts.  Elizabeth won the hearts of the spectators as she entered the list at Sherwood Forest Faire to joust the members of the oldest Heavy Armour Toupes in North America.

Patrick Lambke and K.E.J.A. (Knights Edge Jousting Academy) students were invited to join the Riders of the Golden Age Heavy Armour Jousting Troupe at the Sherwood Forest Faire in McDade, Texas.  Below, the pictures capture Elizabeth's first experience being unhorsed.  This was also her first time jousting with her instructor, friend and mentor.

 

After, Elizabeth is awarded with a knighting ceremony to raise her from student to Dame Elizabeth achieving what few women have.  Congratulations Liz.
