XXXV, 2001

Greetings Atlantia from Lord Michael Batcok, Triton Principal Herald, on 
behalf of their Royal Majesties Havordh and Mary-Grace on this pleasant
April 
evening.

As the passing of the old day brings the dawning of a new day, so too did
the 
end of the reign of Anton and Emer begin the reign of Havordh and
Mary-Grace. 
 Having received the Crowns of Atlantia and the fealty of the Great Officers

of State, the Landed Baronage, and the Peers of the Realm, it was their new 
Majesties' pleasure to conduct a court that balmy morning, and the following

honors were conferred:

Herald - Lord Michael Batcok

Baroness Emer ny Reyly - Elevation to the Estate of Countess
Countess Emer ny Reyly - Created a Lady of the Rose

Lady Karen Larsdatter - King's Award of Excellence

Lisette la Roux - Award of Arms
and the Page's Academy of Atlantia inducted Elise as a new member

After the court their Majesties sat in state and enjoyed a day of
tournaments 
in the warm spring sun.  The evening turned pleasantly cooler and their 
Majesties conducted a second court for the day where the following business 
was conducted:

crafted by the Guild of Arachne's Web.
The following waterbearers for the tournament fields were given tokens of 
appreciation: Lady Franasca, Nikita, Eleanor, Morgwen, Chris, Tara ingen

Lord Nikolai Dmitri Aidanov Dolgorukova was inducted into the Queen's Order 
of Courtesy.
Duchess Seonaid ni Fhionn received the long delayed (20 years + several
days) 
County scroll for Duke Michael of Bedford.
A Letter of Marque for the newly commissioned Atlantian Privateers was read*

and Lord Finuriag (I appologize for the slaughter of your name) was
appointed 
as Lord Admiral for the duration of the reign.
Their Majesties welcomed the newcommers to the Society

The preceeding items were conducted, to the best of my memory, in the order 
presented.  

During that evening's feast, their Majesties presented one further honor for

the day:
The head cook for the feast, McGregor, received a Silver Nautilus for the 
cooking she presided over that day, and for the many feasts that she had 
prepared in the past.

This report is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge.
Please forward any corrections to me at: Batcok at aol.com.

Lord Michael Batcok

* The text of the Letter of Marque is as follows:
Let all know that Their Majesties Havordh and Mary-Grace, King and Queen of 
Atlantia, being credibly informed that diverse and many of their most
loving, 
and obedient subjects inhabiting upon the sea costs, using traffic by sea, 
and diverse others, be very desirous to prepare and equip sundry ships and 
vessels at their own costs and charges to the sea for the annoyance of thier

Majesties's enemies.  So as these loyal subjects might obtain license in
that 
behalf, hath, of their clemency, tender love, and zeal, which they beareth
to 
their subjects, by the advice of Their most honorable counsel resolved and 
determined as hereafter followeth:

First his Majesty is pleased to, and by the authority hereof giveth full 
power and license to all and singular, his subjects of all sorts, degrees, 
and conditions, that they and every of them, at their liberties, without 
incuring any loss, danger, forfeiture, or penalty, prepare and equip to the 
seas ships and vessels furnished for the war, to be used and empolyed
against 
their Majesties enemies, as can be found within the borders of their 
Baronies, provided always that no man which shall go to the sea by virtue 
hereof presume to take any thing from any of his Majesty's subjects, or from

any man having their Majestie's safeconduct, upon the pains by their 
Majesty's laws provided for the same.

And, seeing now that it hath pleased his Majesty, of his most gracious 
goodness, to grant unto all his subjects this great liberty, his Majesty 
desireth all Barons, Baronesses, and subjects of this realm to gather and 
field at the Atlantian 20 Year Celebration those crews who are willing and 
able to train and practice to this goal under the flag of the Atlantian 
Privateers.

And, seeing that such enthusiastic service should well be rewarded, all
those 
who participate at the 20 Year Celebration, and at other times during Their 
reign will be given safe conduct to the Atlantian Privateer party, hosted by

Her Majesty, Mary-Grace, on a day to be named at the Great Pennsic War XXX.

Know also that thier Excellencies Lochmere, have asked and been given leave 
to grant time and space at their event, the Night on the Piazza, so that 
those subjects who would take up arms in this cause may gather and practice 
under said flag.

And, knowing well his experience in these matters, and having been assured
by 
many of our subjects of his prowess and good temperment, we do name Lord 
Finuriag as Lord Admiral during our reign, to ensure that all subjects
acting 
under this Letter of Marque do so within the spirit of this Letter and
within 
the laws of this great Kingdom.
