[MR] Royal Court Report - Feast of the Dragon - May 15, 2010

[Craig]

Please note, the title of this message is incorrect.  It was Feast of 
the Saints, not Feast of the Dragon.  I had it right in the message, 
just the title got messed up.  Not sure what happened, but I did post 
before having my coffee...;)

- Cian mac Cellacháin hUí Dublaich
  Pursuivant herald, Canton of Cyddlain Downs
