Aethelmearc 20 Year, Court Report, Crown Tourney

Here continues the Record of the Reign of Gareth and Juliana King and Queen of Sylvan Æthelmearc at Their Crown Tournament, October 7, AS 52, in Their Shire of Hornwood; as recorded by Lord Arias Beltran del Valle, with the assistance of Lord Ronan O’Conall.

In the morning court:

On October 7, 2017, We, Gareth and Juliana, King and Queen of Æthelmearc, issued a royal sanction – banishment from the royal presence against Matthew Gibson, known in the Society as Tegrinus de Rhina. This sanction will expire at the end of our reign.

Their Majesties then summoned before Them those members of the Order of the Pelican there present. Having been informed of and agreeable to the Order’s desire to add to their number, they summoned in turn Baroness Constance Glyn Dwr and Mistress Elisabeth Johanna von der Flossenburg, and sent each to the place prepared for them to sit vigil and contemplate elevation to that noble Order.

Their Majesties then received before Them those combatants and consorts who were to vie for a place beside Their Majesties as Heirs to the Sylvan Throne, giving Their tokens to the couples as they were received.

Their Majesties then gave leave to Their Officers to conduct the Crown Tournament and Their Court was thus suspended.

At the conclusion of the tournament:

Having emerged victorious from the list of combatants, Their Majesties invited before them Duke Sven Gunnarsson and Duchess Siobhan inghean ui Liathain. Having confirmed his desire to serve as Prince, His Majesty placed the crown on Duke Sven’s head, creating him the Prince of Æthelmearc. His Highness then received the consort’s crown, and put it on the head of His lady, Duchess Siobhan, creating Her as His Princess.

The Court of Their Majesties was once again suspended.

In the evening, holding Their Court:

Their Majesties summoned before Them the Children of the Kingdom who were then sent in pursuit of toys carried by his Lordship Darri inn Valski with which to entertain themselves during the business of Their Majesties’ Court.

Next, those attending their first event with the Society were summoned before Their Majesties. As a token of Their welcome to the Society and the Kingdom, each were given a drinking vessel to use for themselves as they attended further events in the future.

Their Majesties then invited before Them the Ladies of the Rose to speak about the chivalry witnessed on the field during the tournament. The Order noted the chivalry displayed by many of the fighters present that day, but determined one had demonstrated that chivalry above the rest, naming Duke Malcolm Duncan MacEoghainn to carry the Shield of Chivalry.

His Lordship Alrekr Bergson was called forth to discuss the archery competition held during the day.

They noted Sir Alonzio’s many years of service to the Army of Æthelmearc, but also noted that a sign of his position as member of the Order of Chivalry had yet to be presented to him. So did They present him with a (only slightly overdue) scroll announcing his Elevation to the Chivalry by Their honored Ancestors Rurik and Elspeth in AS 37.

Lucius AoALady Thyri Erbewyf was summoned before Their Majesties, who had heard of her service as a key part of the Borderwatch siege crew.

Lord Leonardis next was called to appear before their Majesties. Word had reached Their ears about his continued prowess on the fighting field, and his contributions to the heavy weapons community.

Aethelmearc 20 Year, Fall Crown

The staff of Æthelmearc’s 20 Year Celebration and Fall Crown Tournament share some insight on what promises to be a very special event.

There have been many questions about this weekend’s Æthlemearc’s Fall Crown and Twentieth Anniversary Celebration. Why are they being held together? What makes this event special? It’s really exciting, so the staff and I wanted to fill you in.

Cabins

This event is about celebrating the creation of our Kingdom and the choosing of new Royal Heirs, so we sought out a site that’s central for everyone: All Saints Camp (110 All Saints Rd, Emlenton, PA 16373.) We are pleased to offer tent camping space free of charge on both Friday and Saturday nights.

Troll will open at 3 pm on Friday evening, and Lady Zianna beguy urdina de Zabaleta has graciously provided us with a Traveler’s Repast; Vegetable soup , beef stew, bread, butter , vegetables, hummus, and a cookie.

On Saturday, there will be a brief Morning Court at 10 am on the List field followed by the Crown Tournament Processional. If you wish to have a shade on the field; please reach out to our Day Shade Coordinators – Lady Arthes MacLeod (Brandy Straub, blueduckie666666@yahoo.com, 412-352-0978) and Lord Alister MacLeod (Greg Straub, gstraubjr@gmail.com, 412-216-5443). We are giving priority to Combatant and Consort Pairs.

Lunch will be served to the Tournament Field with a seated lunch near our arts and sciences display. Mistress Illadore de Bedegrayne has provided a gracious menu. Please contact her directly at rani23@gmail.com with any food allergies or other issues.

Feast Menu from the THL Ottilige van Rappoltsweiler; a remove for each style of cooking she has studied. A love letter to her Kingdom through food! Please reach out to her with any food allergies at ottilige@rocketmail.com You will find the menu here.

Commemorative Token made by Edena the Red and Countess Anna Leigh.

We have a merchants row with several great vendors. A commemorative token for 20th year has been cast which will be sold as a personal fund raiser with proceeds to be split between the works of the Pewter Guild and Travel Expenses of their Majesties. The pewter work is by the hands of Edana the Red with detail beading by Countess Anna Leigh. They will be available onsite for $5.00. We have 100 minted and Edana has graciously offered to make more for those that would still want one after we sell out or are not able to attend the event. You will need to mail her a self-addressed envelope and the funds for your piece and she will send one out to you(Bridgette Montgomery; 128 Russellton Dorseyville Rd., Cheswick, PA 15024). The pewter token is based on an original pendant housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Created in 13th c. France during the Gothic period, the materials are gilded copper and champlevé enamel. It measures 4 x 3 1/2 inches. The difference in size accounts for the changes in details. Pewter tokens were used to mark an occasion such as a pilgrimage or royal event.

Reverse of Commemorative Token

Now, I know what you are thinking, this doesn’t sound all that different from a Fall Crown – but on the occasion of our Twentieth Anniversary, there will be an opportunity to enjoy almost anything that our fair kingdom has to offer. We have archery, atl-atl, thrown weapons, arts, history, heraldry, cut and thrust is starting a new competition, and the equestrians will be out in force. We’ve added a Friday evening torchlight tournament for rattan combat and a melee scenario after Crown Tournament on Saturday that will include the youth rattan fighters alongside the adults! There will be Fencing starting with Friday night pickups and an early bird tournament and activities all day Saturday. The Kingdom Historian’s Office is preparing a display of the origins or our Beloved Kingdom so that we can reminisce and celebrate our beginnings and the ways that we have grown!

All are welcome to participate in the arts and science display run by THL Eleanore Godwin! “We need your items for display! Please bring one item you’ve made for display that represents “We are the Escarbuncle” to you. No documentation is required! There will be 3×5 cards for your name and information about your item. There will be a book to write your name in and about your item and how it represents “We are the Escarbuncle” to you. Items will be accepted on Saturday, from 9:30am to 11:00am. Display will be open to the populace from 11:00am to 8:00pm.”

Prefer other Arts or Sciences? We have a Brewer’s Round Table so that you can taste and talk about what you are making, how you can improve it, and see what other brewers have learned. Consider bringing your potable to share. Stop by the heraldic consult table to discuss a new device, badge, or registering your name. The Debatable Choir will give a concert of Æthelmearc Songs, and we will end Saturday in celebration: a ball with choral music and live musicians! All are welcome to come dance, and musicians are wanted – speak with THL Sionn the Lost (Email jfkyle at gmail.com) about joining the players!

There’s simply too much to keep listing; our schedule and contacts are here.
We have already sold out of feast and cabins but bring your tent and we’ll find you a place to set up! There are also several hotels close by; the site if off I80 between Grove City and Clarion:
Quality Inn at 137 Gibb Rd, Harrisville, PA 16038; Motel 6 at 1010 Dholu Rd, Harrisville, PA 16038; Holiday Inn 225 Singh Dr, Seneca, PA 16346; and Microtel Inn and Suites 121 North Point Drive, Clarion, PA 16214.

More questions? If the website doesn’t answer them; please reach out to the Autocrats; THL Muirgheal inghean Dubhghaill (muirgheall at gmail.com, 724-683-7558) Baroness Elena de la Palma (elenadelapalma at gmail.com, 916-704-2367
