By Magistra Nicolaa de
Bracton
Septentria had a very successful
Pennsic this year. THL Wat, Lord Thorolf, Baron Luke, Lady (now Baroness)
Dagmar, Lord Bjarn, and Lord Steonwold were all members of the Unbelted
Champions’ Team. Five Septentrians were
selected for the Archer Champions’ Team:
THL Dafydd, Lady Mahhild, Baron Percival, Magistra Nicolaa, and Lord
Brendan. THL Gareth represented
Ealdormere in the Fencing Champions’ tourney and won his bout, while THL Daniel
of Whitby won the Knife competition at the Known World Thrown Weapons tourney
and finished second overall.
Early on the week, two Septentrians
were singled out for particular honours by Their Majesties: Lady Dagmar was made a Baroness of the Court
for her service during several reigns, and THL Wat of Sarum was put on vigil
for the Order of the Chivalry. His
elevation will take place later in the fall.
As has become traditional, TE
Percival and Christiana treated the Barony to a Barbeque, again hosted by the
Canton of Eoforwic just below the Runestone.
They availed themselves of the opportunity to hold Court once everyone
was well fed. Lady Eithne Briansdottir
passed her hereditary Osis ring to Lady Anneke, while Lord Grom passed his on
to Bleddyn, one of Eoforwic’s newest fighters.
Lady Marsali was given the Golden Bear for her skill in needlework and
costuming, while Lady Alof received a Golden Bear for her Norse clothing,
especially its embroidery. Lord Brendan
was called forward, and Their Excellencies noted his excellent service as an
Archer Champion - but for the final two shoots, he had shot for the wrong
kingdom. However, stated the Baron, he
was only being called forward at this time to receive the Bronze Medal for
archery that he had earned at Trillium War.
Master Hector conducted two pieces of
business in Court. The first was to
recognize Baroness Cenedl as Heithr’s daughter (and thus his own granddaughter)
for the spirit she has brought to Ramshaven.
The second was to take Lord Grom of Eoforwic as his protégé. Lord Grom was presented with a yellow
baldric.
Their Excellencies then called
forward Lord Hans Thovaldsson and thanked him and House Marchmount (as well as
all of Eoforwic) for their hospitality in once again hosting and cooking for
the barbeque.
Their Excellencies noted that there
had not yet been any nominations for the Brass Balls of Septentria, and closed
their Court. However, Lord Brendan was
commended vocally for that dubious honour by the audience, so Court was
reopened so he could be duly recognized.
