[MR] Court Report from Coronation

[William Fleming]

Here begins the report of the Last Court of Janos and Rachel, King and 
Queen of Atlantia.  Upon the second day of April A.S. XXXIX (2005) 
court was held in the Barony of Lochmere.

Numerous worthies were recognized and rewarded by Their Majesties with 
the following awards.

Lady Belphoebe de Givet				Order of the Sea Dragon

Duchess Marie Simone Barjaval la Fildena	Queen’s Order of Courtesy

Lady Catalina dell’ Acqua				Undine

Lord Christopher Mac Cunning			Undine

Master Danr Bjornsson				Court Baron

Mistress Isabel Ulsdottir				Court Baroness

Ro von Rhienfranken					Award of Arms

Count Valharic Caligula Arelius			Kings Award of Excellence

Duke Cuan McDaige					Nonpariel

Having concluded this business Their Majesties prepared to end Their 
Court when word came from the north that The Crown of the East needed 
Their aid against a foe.  Taking a gracious leave of the assembled host 
King Janos and Queen Rachel went to the aid of Atlantia’s northern 
neighbors.  Alas shortly thereafter word came of King Janos’s violent 
demise.

The King is dead, long live the King!




Here begins the report of the First Court of Robert and Denise, King 
and Queen of Atlantia.  Upon the second day of April A.S. XXXIX (2005) 
court was held in the Barony of Lochmere.

The heavens having opened to drop tears for the loss of King Janos, the 
rightful heirs to the Kingdom, Robert and Denise, assumed the Thrones 
and assured the populace of Their desire to preserve the ancient laws 
and customs of our noble land and to lend aid and protection to all of 
Their subjects.  This having been accomplished with due ceremony Their 
Majesties named Their champions.

Count Valhalric Caligula Arelius			King’s Champion

Sir Thomas of Calais					Queen’s Champion

Master Alan Gravesend				Captain of the Queen’s Spears

Their Majesties then called forward the Honorable Lady Collwen ferch 
Dafydd ab Ifan and placed her on vigil to contemplate the burden of 
being elevated to the Order of the Pelican.

This being done Their Majesties closed Their court.

Long live King Robert and Queen Denise!




Here begins the report of the second court of Robert and Denise, King 
and Queen of Atlantia.  Upon the second day of April A.S. XXXIX (2005) 
court was held in the Barony of Lochmere.

The business of the court follows.

Their Royal Highnesses of the Midrealm, Prince Alaric and Princess 
Noelle, were welcomed into court.

Their Royal Highnesses of Æthelmearc, Prince Malcolm and Princess 
Tessa, were welcomed into court.

Their Majesties and Their Highnesses exchanged gifts and sealed an 
alliance for this coming Pennsic War.  (Whether this alliance is a 
result of the great friendship between their Majesties and the heirs to 
the Crowns of the Midrealm and Æthelmearc or, as some suppose, a rumor 
that the summons from the King of the East which led King Janos to his 
death was not a call for aid but a devious assassination aimed at 
returning Atlantia to the control of  the Eastrealm.  Why else would 
the people of the East invade our lands every October?  But perhaps I 
have said too much...)

Sir Janos of Cyddlian Downs			Count

Mistress Rachel Wallace				Countess
							Order of the Rose

Those new to our company were then welcomed and give tokens by Her 
Majesty.

The children of our Kingdom were then recognized and given toys as 
tokens by Their Majesties.

Vito della Luca la Mano Negra			Hippocampus

The Embroiderers Guild of Greater Storvik presented gifts to Their 
Majesties.
Lord Egil Gulbjorn presented a painted chest as a gift to His Majesty 
which had been crafted by the good people of the Barony of Sacred Stone 
recounting the history of His Majesty’s glorious deeds.  (Within, it is 
rumored to contain a testament to King Robert’s generosity but the King 
is a modest man and so is reluctant to allow other to read it.)

Alejandro de la Vina					Award of Arms

Nanne of Hunterstoune				Award of Arms

Alwyn Kanwyrde					Award of Arms

The Autocrat was then called into court to announce the winners of the 
day’s competitions.
( I have forgot the names of the gentles who emerged victorious but 
will post them as I find them.)

Helmut Kruger					Order of the Kraken

Ivar							Award of Arms

The Royal Cheesecake Baker then presented gifts to Their Majesties.

Master Robert Beddingfield				Order of the Pearl

Collwen ferch Dafydd ab Ifan			Order of the Pelican

This being done Their Majesties closed Their court.

Long live King Robert and Queen Denise!
