Kingdom Historical Trust, Inc. (KHTI) is a non-profit educational organization devoted to encouraging the study and recreation of aspects of the European Middle Ages, with a special emphasis on locating and developing a permanent site for such activities and the use of other historical re-creation societies. General InformationWe are actively looking for a piece of property in the central part of California. In order to raise funds for its goals, various fund raisers have been held. The one that has become the primary focus of its efforts is Ducal Prize. This is an annual event cosponsored by KHTI and the Kingdom of the West with the majority of the proceeds going to KHTI. Since the original major supporters were the Dukes and Duchess of the Kingdom and each activity had a prize, it became known as Ducal Prize.
