Subject: [SCA-RoyalPeers] Matters of Importance

Greetings unto the Knowne World Royal Peers,  Bestowed Peers of Our Great
Society, Officers of the East Kingdom, and Populace of the East and Knowne
World:

As some may or may not know, Andreas Eisefalke von Ulm, King of the East
Kingdom, has been called into action to defend our great country in the
Middle East.  Although we are assured and proud that our country is getting
our "best," such a departure has saddened us and thrusts us into prayers for
his safe return and the end to the darkness that looms over the world in it
present situation.  King Andreas was in the middle of his reign when such
call came and therefore he had to leave suddenly. Such sudden departure, by
pre-empting him from completion, by Corpora may prevent him from receiving
his Ducal title.  Andreas has now served twice as King of our great kingdom
and although he was not able to complete His second reign, He gave the
populace his all unselfishly and with full heart. Given the circumstances
of these trying and unusual times and the very nature of the reason for
cessation of King Andreas' ability to be present at his Last Court, I and
many others feel it necessary to petition the Board of Directors to allow
the bestowing of this title. Consequently, it has come to Our attention and
the
attention of the Board of Directors, because of the nature of this case,
that
it is considering a  petition regarding these most important issues.  The
Board of Directors is meeting is scheduled for January 25, 2003.
Therefore, I most humbly request  all those who are moved by this
circumstance and
take issue with King Andreas' preclusion from his Ducal title, to write a
letter to Our Kingdom Ombudsman, Sir Rhodri ap Gwythyr (Paul Foster) at
pafoster at earthlink.net or by mail to present your stand for Andreas that
such
Corpora law should be set aside in this instance because of its nature.
Should you prefer to contact Sir Rhodri by mail, be advised that he
should receive all letters by Wednesday, January 22, 2003.  You may contact
me at
queen at eastkingdom.org  for Sir Rhodri's address. It is requested of the East
Kingdom Officers that
each include their title and position, i.e., "Baroness Katherine Barr, East
Kingdom Seneschal."  Sir Rhodri has indicated that the opinion of the
Kingdom
Officers will weigh heavily.
I am clear that this present situation will soon  become a major concern
touching everyone in our Society.  I thank you for your support, love and
passion for what's right and just in these most difficult times of War.
I am ever in service to the Dream of Our might cause,
                            Isabella of York
                            Queen of the East Kingdom
