In June 2004, the Island of Jersey, 12 miles off the coast of France was celebrating the 800th anniversary of their loyalty to the English Crown. We had received a special invitation from the "Companie of the Duke's Leopards" (the only medieval reenactment group in Jersey) to come camp with them and participate in the revels.
