[MR] Pennsic Court Report

[William Fleming]

Here begins the report of the Court of Robert and Denise, King and 
Queen of Atlantia, held on the field of Pennsic before the gate of the 
fortress, upon the seventeenth day of April A.S. XL (2005).  Bright was 
the day and assured was victory for the Midrealm, since the staunch 
warriors and masterful archers of Atlantia stood as its allies.  The 
business of the court follows.

Three worthy squires of Sir Bryce de Byrum were recognized for their 
loyalty and labors.

Lord William Thomas					Opal
Ulieg								Opal
Lord Malcom MacCallum de Moffat		Opal

Thereafter Sir Bryce was called before Their Majesties and King Robert 
bestowed favor upon him.

The dread Duke Michael of Bedford was summoned by The Throne and given, 
despite his muttered protestations, an honor that some say has long 
been due.

With the aide and encouragement of the kind King Sean and Queen Caryn 
of Artemisia, Their Majesties recognized the true worth of Mistress 
Jeanne Tenneur de Bec, who now dwells in the blessed realm of Atlantia.

Their majesties of the Midrealm, Alaric and Noelle, presented fair 
gifts to Atlantia in recognition for the goodly friendship between our 
two kingdoms and the aid Atlantia had given in securing victory for the 
Midrealm upon the fields of Pennsic.

Representatives of the noble House of Bellatrix appeared in court by 
permission of Their Majesties and announced the retirement from our 
society of Their Graces Stephan and Niobe, may happiness travel with 
them until our paths shall meet again.  Henceforth, Master Efenwealt 
Wystle and Maîtresse Aénor d'Anjou shall stand as leaders of the 
Eastern branch of the household in their stead.

Several sundry other awards were bestowed by Their Majesties, to wit.

Lord Dunstan LeHeryngmongere			Pearl

Lady Blitha of Wolfhou				Golden Dolphin

Grimmr Brathmoar					Sea Stag

Lord Eckehard Thurn					Opal

Baroness Julianna Fiorentini 				Fountain

Master Geofrey Gamble				KAE

The Company of the Silver Spindle presented Queen Denise with a finely 
made scarf and King Robert with a well knit pouch.

A host of warriors were awarded the Shark’s Tooth, as follows.
	Magnus Tindal			Kevin of Thornbury
	Mungoe McKlinchey		Shae of Clan Ebonwoulfe
	Henry West			Eduard of Flaming Bolt
	Gareth of Ebonwoulfe		Robert Pine
	Pagan Grendal			Eckehard Thurn
	Luther Josephus			Ulf’r Edmunderson
	Ragnar Ribcracker		Alexander le Elan
	Achbar ibn Ali			Grimmr Brathoar
	Russel de Tasiea

Watkyn of Kent						Coral Branch

Seamus McCrae						King’s Missiliers

Baroness Aryanna Hawkyns of Lochmere recieved a long promised scroll 
acknowledging her right to bear arms.

Lord Brian Killian the Red				Kraken

Their Majesties then thanked those who had aided with the Children’s 
Fete.

Eloise le Gardeur						AoA

This many matters of importance having been accomplished and the day 
having aged to evening, Their Majesties bid the Order of Chivalry to 
take council with them and then closed Their court.  It is possible 
that at this meeting of the Chivalry it was decided to place the good 
Justus fitz Ternon, Royal Bard of Atlantia, on vigil to contemplate 
joining that most august order (an event which indeed took place upon 
the 18th night of August, A.S. XL, as I beheld myself) but as I was not 
present at that meeting of the Knights I can only speculate.

Long live King Robert and Queen Denise!

Your servant for better or worse,
