Friends and family of a beloved Medieval knight re-enactor have been left stunned after the Virginia man accidentally impaled himself with his lance during a re-enactment event over the weekend.
Peter Barclay, 53, was competing in an equestrian game in front of a crowd in Williamstown, Kentucky Saturday when he was fatally injured.
Participating in events under the knight name of Master Terafan Greydragon, Peter went to spear a paper plate while on horseback when something went wrong and his lance impaled him under his sternum, WLWT confirms.
Peter, a military veteran, was airlifted to a hospital but died en route.
Everybody that knew him is just dead stunned, President of the Society of Creative Anachronism John Fulton told WLWT. His ability, his skill and his attention to detail and safety is just totaled.
