On the fencing field.

For this Their Majesties were pleased to induct him into Their Order of the Golden Alce. Scroll by Morikawa Rei.

Their Majesties summoned Thorinn of the Debatable Lands to appear before Them.

For these and more, Their Majesties did Award him Arms. Scroll by Gesa von Wellenstein.

Their Majesties next gave leave to Their Silver Buccle Herald, jorundr hinn rotinn, to perform some heraldic business. Baron Brandubh O’Donnghaile, Sigil Herald was called to present himself. Baron Brandubh has served as Sigil Herald to the last 3 Silver Buccles, and has aided the College of Arms immensely, however it was now time that he be allowed to step down from that office and take a much deserved break.

Their Majesties next summoned before Them a sacrifice. Baron Arias Beltran del Valle had a recent track record of being the kind of person who volunteers for things so he was volunteered. Their Majesties next invited the youth assembled to join Them. They instructed the sacrifice to take the toy box to the back of court and assist the youth in taking goodies.

Their Majesties next invited Their Thrown Weapons Champion, THLord Kumagaya Kentarou Masamoto, to discuss the tournament he held to determine his successor. There were many fine throwers on the field that day, including one who was throwing for the first time, yet still managed to be the only person to successfully attack the enemy camp, Phil of Misty Highlands. However in the end there could only be one victor, Tristyn of Gryffyn’s Keep, who was named Kingdom Thrown Weapons Champion and invested with the regalia of the office, as well as was presented with a prize pouch containing coins from the Moneyer’s Guild, and was invited to join the Royal Court. The Scroll is a scribal west production featuring Nichola Beese, Sorcha MacKenzie, and Graidhne ni Ruaidh.

Their Majesties next invited THLady Kathyrn Täntzel, who ran the tournament to determine the new Archery Champion for Lord Rónán Ó Conaill, who could not attend the event, to speak about the tournament. Of the many fine archers on the field one proved to have the finest aim of the day, Yakub al-Musafir was named Archery Champion and invested with the regalia of that office, as well as was presented with a prize pouch containing coins from the Moneyer’s Guild, and was invited to take his place among the champions. The Scroll is a scribal west production featuring Nichola Beese and Graidhne ni Ruaidh.

Mistress Graidhne ni Ruaidh and THLady Nichola Beese were invited to conduct some personal business in Their Majesties Court. Mistress Graidhne spoke about how THLady Nichola does all the things and wants to learn all the things so she placed a woven belt that was green on one side and yellow on the other around her waist and named THLady Nichola her apprentice.

Their Majesties next summoned Niall Mac Raedwulf to appear before Them. Niall is an archer who also serves by assisting with setting up and moving things for events, he has also assisted with streaming courts so the those that can not attend them in person can still participate. For this did Their Majesties feel moved to Award him Arms. Scroll by Gesa von Wellenstein.

Their Majesties next Awarded Arms, somewhat in absentia, to Reinhard Regenbogen as while not personally present he was able to attend Court through the previously mentioned streaming of Lord Niall. Reinhard has served his Barony as a webminister, and he sings with the Debatable Choir and at bardic circles.

Their Majesties next Awarded Arms in absentia to Lartia Cerva. She helps with parade demos, works with needle and thread as well as weaving and other fiber arts. Scroll by Mary Elizabeth Clason.

Their Majesties next sought Scheiny of Dalhraidia. Scheiny is an enthusiastic weaver and member of the fiber guild, and has been active during the online meetings. For this They Awarded her Arms. Scroll by Murdia Drusilla Vellia Portia.

Their Majesties next summoned Finé Failain to attend Them. Finé has been shooting archery, making hats, and making garb, Their Majesties are pleased by this and so did Award her Arms. Scroll by Arianna of Wynthrope.

Their Majesties next summoned Turlough Feolain to appear before Them. Turlough has been spotted shooting archery, brewing mead, and doing woodworking, these are skills Their Majesties like in Their populace. Thus did They Award him Arms. Scroll by Arianna of Wynthrope.

His Majesty addressed the populace and spoke of how for each of the Award of Arms that had just been given someone wrote a letter recommending them to Their Majesties, and He asked that everyone be on the lookout for those that deserve awards and write letters about them.

Their Majesties next inducted Lady Vika Vyborgskaia in the Order of the Cornelian in absentia for her constant courtesy and encouragement of new MOLs and her work in developing the Debatable Lands Stellar Tournaments. The scroll is a Scribal West production featuring Nichola Beese and Edana the Red.

Their Majesties bade Master Jussi Laplein, who was performing the service of delivering Their Majesties words to his Lady, stay with Them for a little longer. Master Jussi performs many services that go beyond his duties as a member of the Order of the Chivalry, he assists with setting up and tearing down the MOL tables and tournament lists, he trains new fighters and works with our youth fighters. For this did Their Majesties induct him into Their Order of the Keystone. Scroll by Forveleth Dunde.

Their Majesties called for Lady Astrid of Helios Fury to appear before Them. Lady Astrid has been helping as a retainer and as a water bearer at Pennsic for quite some time.

Agincourt, Court Reports, Debatable Lands, Queen's Rapier Champion

Being the Chronicle of the Courts of Timothy and Gabrielle, King and Queen of Sylvan Æthelmearc, held on the nineteenth day of October, AS 54 (2019), at Agincourt, in Their Barony-Marche of the Debatable Lands. Submitted by Lord Snorri skyti Bjarnarson, Jewel of Æthelmearc Herald.

The morning came bright and glorious, and so it was Their Majesties’ pleasure to have their court called into session on the fencing lysts. The day’s combatants were introduced to Them, and Queen Gabrielle did give to each combatant kind words, and a red rose, symbolizing Her love for them as Her subjects and the honor they did Her by fighting to be Her champion. Once all combatants had been introduced, Her Majesty spoke, and wished them all well, and to fight with honor. The tournament did then begin, and there being no further business, court was suspended until such time as Their Majesties desired.

Some time later, Their Majesties, desiring words with Lady Katheryn Täntzel, traveled to the archery lysts, and bade their court be called into session. They spoke of her long service to barony and kingdom as a member of the archery community, and said that there was an order that had consented to her inclusion. Their Order of the Scarlet Guard was called forward, and Lady Katheryn was made The Honorable Lady Katheryn, Scarlet Guard, and she was bade join her new order for congratulations. Later that day she was presented with a lovely scroll from Their Majesties, crafted by THL Gesa Wellenstein. There being no further business at that time, court was again suspended.

Accordingly, later that day Their Majesties again wished words with a gentle upon the fields of combat, and returned to the fencing lysts to reopen their court. Li Chang was called before them, and Their Majesties spoke warmly of his dedication to fencing and contributions to the Society as an artisan, and so Awarded him Arms with a scroll by Lady Murdia Drusilla Vettia Portia.

That evening, the day’s fine fellowship, valiant martial pursuits, and excellent weather, Their Majesties did again call all gentles there present to attend Their court with trumpet blast and loud oyez.

Their Majesties first summoned forward all children there present. When they had assembled, His Majesty spotted a young man who was an erstwhile courter of his eldest daughter. This young man, called Ben, was summoned before the court, and given the kingdom toy chest. With scant instruction, His Majesty gleefully bade young Ben to run, and sent the kingdom’s children in fast pursuit.

Their Majesties then gave leave to His Excellency of the Debatable Lands to hold his court.

Upon completion of the Baronial court, Their Majesties called for all newcomers to approach the throne. These good gentles were welcomed, and given cups made by the kingdom’s artisans, and bade return often to fill them with the Society.

It was then Her Majesty’s pleasure to remind all assembled about Mistress Jenna’s tokens, to be given by anyone for acts of kindness and service they witnessed.

Her Majesty’s words on that subject being finished, the summons went forth for all redheads there present to come forward. Baroness Mistress Anna Eisenkopf spoke of the Taker of Souls Tournaments held that day, and gave accolades to The Honorable Lord Boden as the day’s heavy combat victor, and Lord Mathias al Tabai as the day’s victor of fence.

A missive from Master Antonio de Luna, Kingdom Thrown Weapons Marshal, was read. In it, he commended the following subjects for their skill at knife and axe:

Lord Duncan MacCoulagh, with an average of 84 of 120, has earned the rank of Huntsman.

Lord Duncan is recognized as a Huntsman. Photo by Baroness Aine.

Lord Meinulfr Grimsson, with an average of 89.7 of 120, has earned the rank of Huntsman.

Lord Arvik Hyttoinen, with an average of 91.3 of 120, has earned the rank of Huntsman.

Lord Maddoc MacRoyri with an average of 102 of 120, has earned the rank of Marksman.

Lord Vilhjalmr Jorgennson with an average of 103 of 120, has earned the rank of Marksman.

The Honorable Lord Kumagaya Kentarou Masamoto with an average of 110 of 120, has earned the rank of Marksman. This being the highest average ever recorded in Æthelmearc, it is especially worthy of note.

All these skilled lords were bidden seek out Master Antonio for a token from him to commemorate their achievement.

There being no further informal business to address, Her Majesty Queen Gabrielle stood and addressed Her court, concerning the day’s tournament held for Her to choose Her champion. She spoke glowingly of all the fencers who had competed to gain her favor, but said that one rose above all others in her esteem that day, and so Master Po Silvertop was called forward. He was invested as Queen’s Rapier Champion with a scroll by Lady Vedis Aradottir of Coppertree, and accoutered with the cape and sword of that honor, and so took his place behind Their Majesties as a Kingdom Champion.

Next, Ingvar Sviaroslavich was called before the throne. Their Majesties spoke glowingly of his fighting efforts and happy demeanor, and so Awarded him Arms, to be determined at a later date in consultation with the College of Heralds, with words for a forthcoming scroll by Master Kieran.

Ingvar receives an AoA. Photo by Baroness Aine.

That being completed, Their Majesties called for Their subject Gardner of Elygh. They spoke of his musical and comedic gifts, and were so pleased that he shares them with all that he was Awarded Arms, with a scroll by Sister Mary Catastrophe.

Gardner receives an AoA. Photo by Baroness Aine.

At that time, Their Majesties demanded the presence of Lord Halfdan Rauþkinn. They spoke to all present of this lord’s skill at the making of banners, and at brewing, and that he gave freely of his time as a teacher, and so added his name to the rolls of the Order of the Sycamore, with a scroll by Lady Alysoun of the Debatable Lands.

Their Majesties did then call for Mistress Irene von Schmetterling. She was escorted forward by her lord, and knelt before the Sylvan Throne. Their Majesties spoke of her prowess and steady improvements in the fencing lysts, and so called for Their Order of the White Scarf, as well as any Ladies of the Rose, Garnet, or any other Royal Consorts there present. Mistress Irene was then inducted into that order, and a suitable scarf tied about her arm.

Queen Gabrielle then rose, and spoke with great admiration of a young Baron of the Court who had stepped in to run Her tournament that day, and did so with good cheer and great competence. She names Baron Robert Hawksworth as Her Inspiration that day, and awarded unto him a Golden Escarbuncle, tinted red for service.

Finally, Their Majesties called up all scribes there present who had contributed a scroll to the day’s courts, and each was given a token of appreciation from Their hands.

There being no further business, court was closed.

Rules for the A&S Competition at Agincourt

Agincourt

Greetings!

The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer (obviously), and if you’re sitting and asking yourself whether you should enter the Agincourt A&S competition and display held on October 20, let me answer that: you should! What do you get? You get to have fun, hang out with like-minded A&S people, showcase your work, and educate populace about what amazing things are possible in A&S.

For several years the Agincourt A&S competition and display was ran by THL Sumayya, who, sadly, has moved to the Midrealm earlier this year. It was run ably, admirably, and pretty much perfectly, so this year we are going to try something different.

In an attempt to improve on perfection, we are introducing a brand new martial component. Should you be unable or unwilling to take a swing at it, a stand-in champion will be provided. The winner of the martial component will be determined by skill and luck (but mostly luck) and will receive a small prize. However, no additional points will be awarded to the A&S entry.

As we in the Society are very good at experimental archaeology and making things, the focus this year is shifted, ever so slightly, from things to context – that is, less emphasis on what, and more on where, why, and how does it fits into the grand scheme of things.

In order to encourage the context, here are the categories this year:

Shipwrecks
Things that never were
The Romans did it better
Fit for a king
And, in honor of the battle of Agincourt, Projectiles.

The vast majority of A&S projects can fit into the first four categories, the rest will fit into the fifth, as, with enough thrust, anything is a potential projectile. Each category will have a winner who will receive a scroll to commemorate the occasion. (For example, if you decide to submit a scroll blank featuring the grotesques from the book of hours of Joanna the Mad of Castille, you can enter it either under “The things that never were” because of the grotesques or under “Fit for a king” because of royal affiliation.)

If you feel that your A&S awesomeness cannot be contained by a mere category, the Traditional Agincourt Triathlon is still on! To qualify, please submit three entries in three different categories. No entry can be entered in multiple categories. The only exception is the entry that fits in all five categories, and it has to be approved in advance. (So if you have a perfect model of a mythical royal ship that was sunk by a Roman projectile, please contact me.)

Artisans are welcome to enter all kinds of creations; food is perfectly acceptable, however, a list of ingredients and potential allergens is requested. Research papers are welcome and encouraged. Documentation is encouraged, but not required. Novice artisans are encouraged to enter. Those who do not wish to compete may display their entries.

And, remember, our Known World just got bigger! The entries are no longer limited to Western Europe, so if you want to share your Japanese, West African, or Inuit entry, as long as it’s pre-1600, it’s fine.

The same rubrics as for the A&S faire will be used, and are available on request.
Most people entering the A&S competitions know what their deficiencies are, and unfortunately, it seems to be the rubric that tends to attract most comments. Unless the judging is face to face, which is not always feasible, it is rather frustrating to get back a sheet of comments which, while correct, are not particularly helpful. So, to make things more straightforward, you get to drop a rubric of your choice. The rubrics and the scoring sheets will be available at the A&S desk, and you get to cross out the one you feel is not helpful. (For example, if you always get dinged on use of correct materials and are tired of explaining that the price of gold is prohibitive, mercury salts are a health hazard, and grave digging is illegal, just drop that rubric. If documentation is your nemesis, and you have an exemplar, but not the 20 page paper on the history of the thing, feel free to drop the documentation rubric, with one caveat – you still need to provide enough information for the judges to know what is it they are judging. Very basic documentation blank sheets will be provided.)

However, if the scores are tied, the dropped rubric may be scored for the purposes of tie breaking only.

Prize scroll full of glory by Mistress Luceta di Cosimo

What do you get if you win? Glory. Huge amounts of high quality unadulterated glory you can bask in like Godzilla on the beaches of Tokyo. In fact, as such huge amounts of glory cannot be possibly carried by hand, it will be packaged in a Shiny Scroll and, to make the burden of winning easier, the grand prize (a $50 Amazon gift card).

If you feel that glory is not for you, consider submitting your work to the display or judging the entries. Judges are requested to: be nice, have grant of arms or higher A&S award, have an open mind, and be willing to drink tea and eat cookies (the latter is not a requirement )

If you have any questions, please contact me. Hope to see you all there.

Remember! Glory!!!

Please direct your questions and concerns to Luceta at lucetadicosimo@yahoo.com.

Agincourt, Archery Champion, Debatable Lands, Youth Champions

Here continues the Record of the Reign of Gareth and Juliana, King and Queen of Sylvan Æthelmearc, at Agincourt, September 23, Anno Societatis 52, in Their Shire of Sunderoak; as recorded by Lord Arias Beltran del Valle with the assistance of Lord Ronan O’Conall.

Their Majesties first gave leave to Their Excellencies Brandubh and Hilderun, Baron and Baroness of the Debatable Lands, to hold their court.

Their Excellencies’ court having been concluded, Their Majesties invited before them Mistress Arianna of Wynthrope to discuss the tournament held earlier in that day to determine Their Royal Majesties’ Youth Champion. Mistress Arianna informed Them that from the field of 6, two rose above the others, and Fox and Fritz were named Youth Champions in their divisions.

Mistress Arianna asked further leave of Their Majesties to discuss efforts to support those subjects of the Kingdoms of Ansteorra and Trimaris most recently affected by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. She thanked the populace for their donations thus far, and informed them of further opportunities to donate at future events.

Their Majesties then called forth Lord Robert MacEwin of Thornhill. They tasked him, with the assistance of the other Lord Robert present, to take the toy box away to be found by the children of Æthelmearc, who were then asked to assemble before Their Majesties. Seeing their opportunity, the two Lords Robert sped from the room before the children of the Kingdom were sent to give chase by Their Majesties.

Their Majesties next invited Master Jacopo di Niccolo to attend them. Master Jacopo spoke of the tournament held that afternoon to determine Their Majesties’ Archery Champion. He summoned his Lordship Alrekr Bergsson and Lord Ronan O’Conall, the final two competitors on the day. Lord Ronan finished in second place, and was acknowledged by Their Majesties and granted a token in recognition of his skill. But his Lordship Alrekr had emerged victorious on the day, and for this was he name Their Majesties’ Archery Champion. He was then granted the trappings of the champion and invited to join Their retinue in Court.
