#When an injury occurs on the field, it should always be remembered that the primary concern is getting to and assisting the injured party. Secondary to this objective, but no less important, is the safety of persons entering the field to help and the well-being of anyone already on the field. (For example, fighters standing around in armour in the sun could be subject to heat problems.)
==On the field==
#All injuries that require hospitalisation or similar care, include a period of unconsciousness, or may require future medical care need to be reported to your Kingdom Earl Marshal within 24 hours of the incident. Include all available details in the report.
#If there is a  suspected injury on the field, anyone may call a hold to stop all fighting in the area and determine the proper course of action. The hold may be a local hold as long as the safety of the injured person can be maintained. In war combat with arrows, local holds cannot include helms being removed. A full hold to all combat must be called if helmets need to be removed.
