[MR] A Report of the Coronation Court Held in the Lands of Tir-y-Don on 6 October, 2012

[E. L. Wimett]

Their Majesties Bryan and Brianna having departed the thrones, Mistress 
Alesia Gillefalyn as Kingdom Seneschal called for any valid claimants to the 
Crown of Atlantia.

Prince Vladimir Ivanovich Aleksandrov immediately came forth to assert His 
claim to the throne and was challenged for the throne by Jarl Timmeke 
Haakonson of Nordheim and Duke Ragnarr Blackhammer.

Prince Vladimir having supported his claim to the Crown of Atlantia not only 
by his personal victory in the Crown Lists but also --- in the best Russian 
manner --- a show of force from a mercenary band of Celts and massed archers 
of Atlantia, Jarl Timmeke and Duke Ragnarr acknowledged the justice of His 
claim as did the Kingdom Seneschale, though somewhat more reluctantly.

Prince Vladimir immediately swore faith to the people of Atlantia and 
crowned himself Tsar and then administered the same oath to His lady, Kalisa 
Aleksandrovna, and crowned her Tsaritsa.

Tsar Vladimir moved quickly to suppress any traces of rebellion in His reign 
by reproaching Mistress Alesia for her opposition to His claim and ordering 
His guards to remove her to a place of imprisonment.

As a further means of restoring order to Atlantia, the Tsar summoned forth 
the territorial baronage, who had been released from their oaths by His 
predecessor, and bade them swear again their fealty to the Crown and people 
of Atlantia.

In like manner, the Tsar immediately took oaths from the Great Officers of 
State, from the Chivalry and from the members of the Order of the Laurel and 
of the Order of the Pelican.

Lord Marcus Vitellius Ursus was called then forward to be praised for his 
long service in illustrating the life of Atlantia and made a Baron of the 
Court of Atlantia.

Tsar Vladimir ordered that Duke Ragnarr and Jarl Timmeke be called forth to 
account for their opposition to His claim to the throne.  They explained 
that they had acted thus in hopes of guaranteeing aid for Sir Forgal their 
brothers of Moose Lodge who were sore pressed by the rumored approach of war 
to the South.  Seeing their sincere repentence, the Tsar not only forgave 
them their opposition but pledged to lead the armies of Atlantia to the aid 
of the Lodge and the Kingdom of Trimaris at Gulf Wars.

To these actions I bear witness and testimony as herald for the Tsar and 
Tsaritsa upon this day,

Alisoun
