The Seattle Knights, the northwest s premier swordfighting and jousting show, is a theatrical troupe specializing in Medieval Fantasy, wielding real weapons and armor to perform choreographed, medieval style combat. Knights in shining armor battle rogues, ruffians, and one another, and fair maidens sometimes take up the sword against all of them. Equestrian war games test the speed, courage, and horsemanship of our mounted Knights. And if the outcome of a contest is in doubt the Jousters are there to settle the score! Cheer on your favorite Knight as the excitement builds! And the fun doesn t stop there; after the show, the Knights join the Rhodes River Ranch guests for a spontaneous meet and greet. Ever wanted to know more about your favorite Knight, weapons, armor, or horse? Just ask each Knight is more than happy to share his or her enthusiasm and answer your questions.
