Powerful tales of courage, chivalry and love become stronger through the test of time. This spring, the legend of a kingdom threatened by treachery but ultimately strengthened by courage thunders into the Grand Ceremonial Arena at Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament.

While the new show has all the lance-splintering action and glorious pageantry guests look forward to, this season there’s a whole new element -- a Princess’s love for a handsome, gallant knight – and a riveting confrontation between a turncoat warrior and a surprise defender of the crown.

The story begins with the battle-weary King and his stalwart Marshals and Knights returning to the Castle after a fierce clash with an invading army. The attackers have been defeated, but the King’s brother paid for the victory with his life. The King calls for a grand tournament to determine the realm’s new champion. As a four-course feast is served up to hungry guests, the Knights spar in tournament games and jousts. Hanging over the lavish spectacle is an ominous warning from the royal soothsayer – the restless spirit of the slain Prince will not know peace until his treacherous murder is avenged.

As the plot unfolds with shocking twists and turns, truth, honor and love eventually triumph over evil, and peace is restored to the kingdom. An unexpected event in the final minutes of the show rocks the crowd, and brings them to their feet in a deafening wave of thunderous cheers. The spectacle unfolds daily inside a fully enclosed European-style castle.
