By Magistra Nicolaa de
Bracton
The coronation of TRM Aaron and
Rustique took place on a late April day with storms threatening—but never
actually materializing—for most of the day.
After King Trumbrand and Queen Kaylah left the thrones (having gifted
THL Naga with a favour “or small orang-utan,” among other parting awards),
Aaron appeared in Roman clothing, setting the theme for the reign. Having taken
the crown, he then crowned Rustique, dressed in Persion clothing, as his
Queen.
The day saw several tourneys to
determine King’s Champions, all of which were won by Septentrians. On the rapier
lists, THL Gareth triumphed, and in thrown weapons, THL Daniel of Whitby won
the day. On the archery field, Baron
Percival and Magistra Nicolaa ended the tourney in a tie. It was determined
that Magistra Nicolaa would become the champion, as HE Percival has other
duties guarding the King’s lands already.
However, a shootoff was held at a devilishly evil smiley face, which
Baron Percival won after Magistra Nicolaa shot one arrow that was missing a tip
. (ed. That’s my story, and I’m sticking
to it.)
Besides the appointment of the three
champions determined by tourney, King Aaron appointed Kellen as his armoured
combat champion and Queen Rustique appointed Baron Cynred as her armoured
combat champion. THL Eirik was added to
the Scroll of Honour for his work on the Ealdormere website. After the Canton of Monadh presented the
Kingdom with new gates for the Ealdormere encampment at Pennsic, the Queen
challenged all cantons, households, and groups to help beautify Ealdormere.
It was also announced that Ealdormere
will be fighting with the Middle Kingdom this year at Pennsic, and to that end
Sir Evander was appointed as War General. Queen Rustique requested that once
again a Sea of Red
A subtlety competition also took
place at the event, which attracted several enthusiastic entries. It was won by Lady Medb ingen Dungaile.
