Their Majesties invited all those present for whom this was Their first Royal Court, and gave them mugs made by the artisans of Æthelmearc and welcomed them to our Society and Kingdom

Their Majesties next invited the youth present to present themselves before Them. They then offered up a sacrifice, Lord Tiberious Hostilous Mallous, that the youth might be entertained and take goodies from the toy chest.

Their Majesties allowed Master Hrolfr á Fjárfelli and Lady Isolda de Leycestre to conduct some personal business in Their Court. Master Hrolfr gave Lady Isolda a green belt to mark her as his apprentice.

Their Majesties summoned Lady Ilaria Rosati, the Queen’s Arts and Sciences Champion, and Master Hrolfr á Fjárfelli to present themselves. Lady Ilaria was thanked for her long service as champion and allowed to retire. Master Hrolfr spoke of the tournament held this day and how impressed he was by those who participated in person as well as those who presented online. Their Majesties agreed and so called all the competitors present forward to be presented with tokens. There was a victor this day however, Their Majesties did name Baron Caleb Reynolds as King’s Arts and Sciences Champion, for his research paper into period recipes, and named THLady Nichola Beese as Queen’s Arts and Sciences Champion for her display of parchment creation and dying. Both scrolls were by Gesa von Wellenstein. There was a populace choice as part of the competition, THLady Nichola Beese proved to have the most votes.

Their Majesties next called for Lord Cassiano da Castello to attend Them. Lord Cassiano had entered a brewing entry in the competition that greatly impressed Their Majesties, thus did They name Lord Cassiano Their Royal Brewer.

Their Majesties next summoned Songtui Batar Sogdo, who was having a problem with his new protege. Their Majesties felt that they could help with this problem, and so called for THLady Adeliz Argenti to present herself. They felt that the only way to properly address this lady was in the presence of The Order of the Pelican, and so summoned that Order to present themselves, and after affirming that it was the Order’s wish to proceed They issued a writ for THLady Adeliz to contemplate elevation to the Order of the Pelican, for her long service to DART at Pennsic and much more. Scroll by Ceindrech verch Elidir on parchment made by Abigail Kelhoge.

Her Majesty next called for Nea Kimball. It was Nea’s first event, and she entered a research paper in the Arts and Sciences competition, fenced, and generally enjoyed herself with a great amount of enthusiasm. For this Her Majesty named Nea her inspiration for the day and awarded her a Golden Escarbuncle. Her Majesty further felt moved to Award Nea Arms and make her a Lady of the Court. The scroll will be made by Her Majesty on parchment created and dyed by Nichola Beese.

Their Majesties thanked the event staff and the Shire for hosting Their Arts and Sciences Championship. They wished all present safe travels and spoke of how grateful and happy They are to be able to return to events.

There being no further business, Court was closed.

A&S Champ, hybrid event, in-person A&S, King's Crossing, Tavern Brawl, virtual A&S

Their Sylvan Majesties, King Gareth Kincaid and Queen Juliana Delamere, are pleased to let it be known to all that they are looking forward to choose their Arts & Sciences Champions at the Kingdom Arts & Sciences Championship to be held at Tavern Brawl, hosted by the Shire of King’s Crossing this October 30th.

We encourage entrants to join us in-person at a wonderful site for a day of sharing and celebrating of all the wonderful things that our Arts & Sciences community has to offer. There will also be room for Arts & Sciences display and we are even working on some cool demos! However, we do understand that going to events is still a difficult choice for many of us and we have therefore decided on a hybrid in-person/virtual format for this year’s competition.

Entry by Lady Ilaria in the virtual Arts and Sciences Championship in 2020

The in-person competition will be held along the same lines as in the past. Candidates with their entries will be judged face-to-face and the scoring will be based on the Kingdom A&S rubric. In order to reduce the indoor face-to-face time for candidates and judges, we will limit this year’s competition to one 45-minute judging session with a panel of 2 or 3 judges. Although not a requirement, we ask that candidates register their in-person entry online ahead of time, to make planning for us a little easier!

Candidates who are not able to join us at the event can submit their entry online. We created a basic web form where you can securely upload some photos, your documentation and some basic info. The virtual part of the competition will be held much along the lines of last year’s competition. Each candidate will meet face-to-face with a panel of judges over Zoom for one 45-minute judging session during the week leading up to the event and their presentation and entry will be judged with the same rubric as used at the event. The site is discretely damp and we are excited and happy to accept alcoholic beverage entries at the event!

We want to emphasize that we totally love to see partial projects! It doesn’t have to be a completely finished entry to be eligible. As usual, you may also enter up to three related objects as a single entry. Prior entry in another competition or display does not disqualify you from entering, we love to see continued progress on existing projects. The scores will be tallied once all judging is completed (the combined online and in-person entries) and relayed to Their Majesties who will choose their champions and announce them at the event during court.

Their Sylvan Majesties and the Kingdom Office of Arts & Sciences are very much looking forward to seeing what our Kingdom has to offer!

Yours in service,

Hrólfr and Elska á Fjárfelli (KMoAS)

Court Reports, King's Crossing, Tavern Brawl

The following is the report of the Court of Timothy and Gabrielle, King and Queen of  Æthelmearc, held on the 26th day of October Anno Societatis 54 in the Shire of King’s Crossing at The Tavern Brawl, Baron Brandubh O’Donnghaile, Tabor Herald.

Their Majesties welcomed all to Their Court and summoned Lord Godfrey de Bayeux from Their Guard. They then invited all children present to come forth. They tasked Lord Godfrey with the Royal Toy Box, and then loosed the Children to each select a prize.

All newcomers to the royal court were then invited to come forth and Their Majesties gifted each with a cup so that they could remember their time at the event, and come back to share a drink.

Baroness Elena de la Palma was then invited forward. She spoke about the effort of the AE Leads. The AE Leads is a committee within the Kingdom which is dedicated to encourage the growth of our society. One of the initiatives that is being championed is tokens of appreciation. The AE Leads Committee will be providing tokens at each event so that all members of the populace can use them to show their appreciation to any that they see providing service. Baroness Elena invited everyone to look at the Troll Tables at upcoming events for the tokens of appreciation and take as many as you wish to give to any gentle in thanks for their service.

King Timothy and Queen Gabrielle then invited Lord Jodocus van Cleeff to attend Their Court as the Autocrat of the event. Lord Joost thanked all who attended the event, and all of his staff who made the day a success, especially Their Graces Gareth Kincaid and Juliana Delamare for running the all-day side board. The cooks in turn invited all present to stop by the kitchen for leftovers.

Master Juan Miguel Cezar, the Thrown Weapons Marshal for the day and Lord Alfonso de Santo Domingo, the Archery Marshal of the day, were called forth. The marshals then announced the winners of the day’s tournaments on their ranges: For Archery, the Spiderwebs shoot was won by Lord Edwyn ab Eouan, and the Pumpkin shoot was won by Lord Meinulfr Grimsson. For Thrown Weapons: the Pumpkin throw was won by Lord Edwyn ab Eouan, the Apple throw was won by Lord Meinulfr Grimsson, the Skull and Crossbones throw was won by Lord Jodocus van Cleeff, and the Overall winner on the thrown weapons range was Lord Godfrey de Bayeux. The Marshals also ran a combined archery and thrown weapons challenge, and the winner of the throw and shoot challenge was Lord Edwyn ab Eouan.

His Majesty then called for the Mistresses of the List to come forth Viscountess Lucilla de Courtenay, and Meestress Odriana vander Brugghe. His Majesty Timothy had conducted a Heavy Weapons Round Robin Tournament, and he thanked the good Ladies for their invaluable assistance. They then announced that Sir Oliver Sutton had been the winner of the Tournament that day.

Baron Robert Hawksworth was then invited to speak for the Fencing Bear  Pit tournament that he marshalled. Baron Robert announced that he had been impressed on multiple fronts by the winner, and announced that Master Benedict Fergus atte Mede, had won the tournament, and also stepped out of the tournament to marshal the bouts.

Mistress Chrestienne de Waterdene was then invited to speak of the Arts and Sciences happenings of the day. She thanked the many and various artisans who had entered the Arts and Sciences display that day, and also thanked Maestro Zanetto da Como who had organized the classes and the teachers that day.

Their Majesties then called forth Lord Heinrich Holzapfel von Herxheim. Their Graces Gareth and Juliana had Awarded him Arms in absentia, and so they presented him to the populace as Lord Heinrich.

Lord Alfonso de Santo Domingo was summoned back into Their Majesties’ Court. Beyond serving as a marshal, Lord Alfonso had demonstrated his skill as an archer, and so Their Majesties recognized his achievement of the rank of Master Bowman. Scroll by Lady Murdia Drusilla Vettia Portia.

Timothy and Gabrielle then called for Lady Ceindrech verch Elidir to attend Them. They spoke of her service large and small – from copying the Æthelmearc song books to service as a youth marshal.

Her Majesty Gabrielle then spoke of a gentle that She had seen all over the event that day. Lady Brianna Eileen Taithlach had baked scones for the event, made banners, and taught dance. For this Her Majesty presented her with a Golden Escarbuncle and named her the Queen’s Inspiration.

The scribes who had contributed to the glory of Their Majesties court were then invited forward. Each had spent hours of their time and resources to prepare the magnificent scrolls for Their Majesties’ Court, and each were given a token from Their Majesties’ hand.

Their Majesties did then demand that Lord Owen Tegg stay in Their Court and summoned Their Order of the Fleur d’Æthelmearc to attend. Lord Owen’s skills at illumination, his teaching, and research into 14th Century manuscripts had earned him a place among that that Order. So did Their Majesties induct Owen as a Fleur and Grant him Arms.
