Although I did not know this gentle, I figured that there maybe someone
in Atlantia that does.  So I forward this.

  As you can see this came through from SCA_Bards... I first heard of 
this gentle's passing on Rialto...

Greetings all, from TSivia.

I did not know Oertha's Viscount Kylson well personally, but had met him

a number of times in passing.  He died this past weekend in the middle 
of the lists.  I will cut/paste the description below, from  
http://www.angelfire.com/ak/Oertha/

His lady wife, Viscountess Anne of Bradford, has posted some things 
which can be done in his memory.  As part of it includes things to do 
with dance and song, I thought I would pass this on.  Mayhaps someone 
will be moved to write something for her, their son <who is a peer as 
well>, or perhaps the entire Principality he loved so well.

<From Viscountess Anne:>
1. Tell an off-color joke.
2. Flirt with a Lady (or Lord), to make sure they know that they're 
worthy of admiration and affection.
3. Sing a song, especially one you can sing with other people, or with 
people you're in love with.
4. Teach your child to fish or hunt, and to love the out of doors.
5. Call your significant other "Beloved" or "Darling" and mean it.
6. Dance with someone who has never been danced with. Combine with #2 as

necessary.

_____________________________
Today, the 19th of June, in the thirty-ninth year of the Kingdom of the 
West, Viscount Sir Kylson Skyfyre, OL, OP, first Prince of Oertha, 
passed away suddenly immediately after claiming the victory in a bear 
pit tourney at Eskalya's Viking Games event.

The day was fair, as fair as ever the season can get in our short 
northern summers, full of sun and light airs, and the falling rain of 
cottonwood down. Sir Kylson came to the field late, as his armoring had 
been delayed while he inspected the armor of the other competitors, but 
when he came, he came with the same presence he has always had, with 
great joy in the contest. As it was a hot day, he, like the other 
fighters, took a break from the grind, and he suggested converting the 
last five minutes of the tourney from a bear pit to a beer pit ("One 
point for each beer, and two points if you keep it down.")

I was marshaling on the field, and, upon the expiration of the time, I 
went to the lists table to check the score with the event steward and 
the acting list minister. I heard a commotion, and turned to look across

the field, and Sir Kylson was down on the ground, with his lady wife, 
Mistress Anne, at his side. All medical attention possible was rendered,

both by our own chirurgeons (and emergency medical personnel who were on

site), and by the ambulance paramedics when they arrived. He was 
transported to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. It is likely 
that he was, in fact, dead even as he hit the ground.

It is almost trite to say that we should find solace in the fact that he

died doing what he loved, among the people that he loved. But trite or 
not, it is certainly true. Others will have many things to say about 
this man (I undoubtedly will myself), but let this stand for the moment.

Tonight, the chalked bear pit circle was filled with lilacs and daisies,

with two candles burning in glass chimneys. And there were butterflies.

We have lost a giant.

In grief,
Bjarni Eðvarðarson í Jórvík
