[MR] Pennsic Court Report

[William Fleming]

Here begins the report of the Court of Michael and Seonaid, King and 
Queen of Atlantia, held on the field of Pennsic before the gate of the 
fortress, upon the sixteenth day of August A.S. XLI (2006).  The heat 
of the day was passing as the Baronage of our great kingdom parraded 
into court ahead of Their Majesties, Their heirs, and the heirs to the 
Throne of Trimaris.  The business of the court follows.

Their Majesties called the Youth Mashals into court. The Marshals then 
presented a war hammer to the Kingdom as regalia for the Kingdom’s 
Youth Combat Champion.

The following awards were then granted to varrious worthies.

Padraig McNutt (Padraig mac Nechtain?)		AoA

Ysabella LaVoue d’Orleans				Opal

Maeve FitzRobert of York				Coral Branch

Rousel Tavernier						Kraken

Ysolt de la Mere						AoA

Galfrid of Caer Mear					AoA

Swieczka Kaim						Coral Branch
	
Chagan Khulan						Pearl

Katherine Devereaux					Pearl

Mathilde Bourette					Pearl

Barbara Giomaria di Roberto				Pelican

Their Majesties then called the children of Atlantia into the Royal 
Presence and bestowed gifts upon them. The scene that then transpired 
was joyous and frightening, an odd mixture of children at play and 
wolves worrying a carcass. When the children returned to their seats 
King Michael, Prince Ragnarr, and Prince Martin (HRH Trimaris) tidied 
up the leavings before court resumed.

The following archers were recognized for their achievements on the 
range.

Reys Glamorgan						Bowman Elite

Seamus McCrea						Grand Bowman Elite

Jonathas Reinisch					Grand Bowman Elite  (in absentia)

Her Majesty, Mary-Grace, of Glean Abhann, was given glad greeting by 
Their Majesties and presented two coffers in which to store the crowns 
of Atlantia.

Thereafter, Their Majesties bestowed the following boons and awards.

Saige ferch Cedwyn					AoA

Gabrell Fairclaugh					AoA

Stephen Bridewell					Opal

Leonora Delmare						Grant of Arms  (in absentia)

Their Majesties then bid those attanding their first Pennsic War to 
come forward. The number of such individuals was truly staggering, 
comprising fully a quarter of all in attendance at Their Majesties 
court. Her Majesty spoken kindly to them and thanked them for their 
presence.

Lord Vels inn Viggladi was welcomed into court and gifted the Kingdom 
with a coffer of chirurgeons’ medalions and a promise to supply as many 
more as may in time be needed by the Chirurgeonate.

It then came to pass that, in Their generosity, Their Majesties granted 
the following awards.

Alexander Rouge Moose				Shark’s Tooth

Bryan of Sacred Stone					Shark’s Tooth

Jean Claude de Calais					Shark’s Tooth

Dominyk Wolferam					Shark’s Tooth

The Principle of the Order of the Yew Bow, Sir Tnek, stepped down from 
the office and turned his duties over to his successor, Lady Dealla 
Cohen.

Lady Courtney de Houghton recieved the Master William Blackfox Award 
for best layout of an electronic newsletter.

As the light of day faded, Their Majesties awarded the following 
subjects.

Lina of Storvik						AoA

Jesse of Storvik						AoA  (in absentia)

Othenan of Storvik					AoA

Dame Roxanne and the members of the guild of Arachne’s Web presented a 
magnificent handkerchief with silver bobbin lace to Her Majesty.  Had 
there been more than a trace of twilight left, I am certain the lace 
would have gleemed and sparkled.

By moon and starlight, Their Majesties distributed more awards.

Andras Salamandra					Golden Dolphin

Barre FitzRobert of York				Golden Dolphin  (in absentia)

Gregge the Archer					Golden Dolphin

Griffith Jenner						Golden Dolphin

Ruaidhri an Cu						Golden Dolphin

These many matters of importance having been accomplished and the 
evening having given way to night, Their Majesties closed Their court.

Long live King Michael and Queen Seonaid!
