In Their Words: Chivalry in full force in Tuxedo | recordonline.com.

Damsels in distress, Nicholas Freely may come to your rescue, complete in a suit of armor and riding a speedy charger. The 22-year-old is a professional knight at the New York Renaissance Faire in Tuxedo. Think chivalry is over? Think again. Working at the Renaissance Faire is like stepping back in time. All of the people who work here stay in character — we dress our parts and we talk in that "olde English" style. If it were possible for us to be instantly transported back to merry old England during medieval times, we would blend right in. We all have a passion for what we do.
