In what has become a tradition, the 2013 Tournament of Roses Royal Court paid its annual visit to Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament in Buena Park. It was the court’s first visit to Orange County since it was announced on Oct. 8.
The court met with King Don Carlos and Princess Catalina, and the Medieval Times Knights of the Realm. The group then attended the banquet and show, a reenactment of a medieval feast and jousting tournament.

“This was the first time I’ve been allowed to eat with my fingers, and I loved it,” Rose Queen Vanessa Manjarrez said when asked about her Medieval Times experience.
The Tournament of Roses has a longstanding partnership with Medieval Times. Medieval Knights and their Andalusian horses have marched in the Rose Parade since 1988. Medieval Times will be at Equestfest, a horsemanship exhibit that features participants of the 2013 Rose Parade at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center on Saturday, Dec. 29, beginning at noon.
