Vivant to their Majesties
Cadogan and Euphemia, crowned in an outdoor ceremony on the green,
on the hottest and sunniest day so far this year in this part of
Insulae Draconis. May the rest of their reign go as smoothly...but
perhaps be held in the shade.
In their first court,
Their Majesties did great honour to Insulae Draconis, choosing three
residents of these isles to defend them upon the field of armoured
combat and in the art of defense:
Queen's armoured combat
champion: Lord Brand of Lough Devnaree
Queen's rapier champion: Lord Duarte Goncalves de Montes
King's armoured combat
champion: Sir Wiglaf Wilfriding
King's rapier champion: Lord Antonio di Rienzo
Vivant to their Excellencies,
Padraig and Elsa, count and countess of Drachenwald, who stepped
down with many encouraging words for the people of the crown principality
where they had both won Crown tournament and ended their reign.
(In the afternoon, many
who attended this event were struck by the appearance of a young,
clean-shaven knight of regal bearing, who bore an uncanny resemblance
to the former king Padraig...
Vivant to the hard-working
organizers of this weekend's coronation:
Thomas Flamanc (steward),
Siban ni Ghiolla Padraig (head cook), ably assisted by Johanna aff
Hukka, who together produced a splendid feast and provided ample
food for everyone,
Raphe Cuthbert and Ariel of Lindisfarne (registration and travel
rustlers),
Caohmin McAindru and Mary verch Thomas (local contacts).
My own thanks to the
enthusiastic singers who showed up to lend their voices as a gracious
touch to the coronation ceremony.
One clarification to
mention:
While many of the organizers
of this event live in West Dragonshire, and WD sponsored the event,
the event took place in the lands of Mynydd Gwyn, and would not
have occurred without that shire's support.
Regards,
