[MR] Crown Tourney - Herald's Report

[Andreas de Caunteton]

Greetings unto the Populace of Atlantia,
 
I bring you the brief account of Royal Court proceedings from Crown Tourney held in the Barony of Tir-Y-Don held November 5th, 2011 – AS 46 by their Majesties Cuán VI and Pádraigín III.
 
A glorious Crown Tourney was conducted with many excellent contestants.   In the end, it was Count Bryan of Sacred Stone that emerged victorious; inspired by Countess Brianna O Duinn.  They were duly crowned Prince & Princess on the field.
 
A Great Court and Curia was held in the late afternoon with our new heirs, a majority of the Landed Baronage and many of our populace in attendance.  Prince Savaric de Pardieu of the Midrealm was an honored guest.
 
Following introductions and words of appreciation for a fabulous day, Curia was convened.  The Great Officers of State delivered a report of the status of their respective offices; the King presented changes to be made to Law and information for clarification regarding a few topics of significance.    
 
Court was opened and our gracious Majesties did bestow the following this day:
Randall of Gloucester was given an Award of Arms and a Silver Osprey.    
Sir Mandin Leon was given the Queen’s Order of Courtesy.    
Lady Aislinn inghean Mhaoilbhrighde was given an Opal.
Baroness Kaleeb al-Akhdar was inducted into the Order of the Golden Dolphin.
 
Sadly, there were some intended award recipients that were unable to be present, so their Majesties directed the Baronage of Caer Mear and Marinus to present them at first opportunity.  Those assembled were asked to keep the secret until then.  
 
In addition to awards, other activity included:
A gift basket was presented to his Highness Midrealm.
The Barony of Lochmere presented a gift of cookies to TRMs.
Master Bran Trefonnen – Triton Herald installed Baroness Maaline Renard as Undine (Clerk Signet)
 
Master Nikulai Ivanovich, the Autocrat for Kingdom Twelfth Night made a presentation citing the planned wonderful nature of the event and the excellent site being used.  His Majesty questioned the ability of the event to accommodate the logistics of possible multiple peerages and was pleased to hear that he could have as many peerages as he desires.  
 
Court was reopened during feast to bestow Lady Anna Cornelia van Sint Maartensdijk a Grant of Arms and a Coral Branch. 
 
I attest that these accounts are true to the best of my knowledge and record keeping.
Master Andreas de Caunteton, OP – Cornet
