[Craig via Atlantia]

Unto Your Majesties of Atlantia, King Dietrich and Queen Thora, Your 
Highnesses of Atlantia, Prince William and Princess Alyna, and the good 
populace of Atlantia does Cian Triton, Principal Herald, send greetings!

Pray, hear and rejoice at these words, which are an account of the Royal 
Courts done at Hawkwood Baronial Birthday on May 14, 2016.

In The morning, His Majesty King Dietrich, did process into court, 
accompanied by Her Highness Princess Alyna, and Their Excellencies of 
Hawkwood.The populace were bade to be seated, and the Royal Court was 
opened.

His Majesty had Adaira inghen Makyswell brought before him.In a stern 
voice, the King commented on the fact that he had summoned her before 
Him at Tourney of the Dragon several weeks ago, but she was not 
present.He had been planning to Award her Arms, but her absence, and the 
reasons for it, had caused Him to change His mind.After finding out that 
her absence was due to running a last minute demo, His Majesty decided 
to Grant Adaira Arms instead.A surprised and stunned Lady Adaira was 
escorted back to her seat, amidst much cheering and celebration.

Lord Klaus Jaeger was summoned into the Royal Presence from his position 
at the edge of court, where he was standing guard.His Majesty spoke of 
the amazing garb that Lord Klaus has been making, including the very 
impressive garb that he was wearing that day.His Majesty was minded to 
recognize these works of art by awarding Klaus a Coral Branch.

The children were called forth, and given permission to chase down the 
man with the toy chest, which they did with much glee!

Lord Roland Wodeman was commanded into court, where he spoke as the 
Marshal in Charge, giving instructions on the format of the fighting 
that day.As Lord Roland prepared to return to his seat, King Dietrich 
had other plans, and commanded him to kneel before Him.His Majesty was 
most impressed with the work that Lord Roland has done with the Chivalry 
Club that he has instituted in his modern job, and wished to show Their 
Majesties’ appreciation by awarding Lord Roland the Award of the Star of 
the Sea.

Lord Maxillian Brudder was called forth before His Majesty, who spoke of 
the prowess with the Rapier that Lord Maximillian has ablely 
demonstrated over the years.It was decided that he should demonstrate it 
once again today, as he was commanded to fight his prize today as the 
newest White Scarf of Atlantia!

Their Excellencies of Hawkwood were invited to open Their court, the 
business of which has been reported by Their herald.

Following that, His Majesty admonished the populace to go forth and 
enjoy the day, and court was closed.

That evening, as the fighting and other activities, had died down, an 
evening court was opened by His Majesty.Following a few words of 
welcome, His Majesty and the Southern Bard of the Kingdom, led the 
populace in song.

Their Excellencies of Hawkwood came forward to present His Majesty and 
Her Highness with gift baskets.Cheers were called for the generosity of 
the god people of Hawkwood.

Thomas De Hawkworth was summoned into court before His Majesty, who 
spoke of the large amounts of service that Thomas does, and thus His 
Majesty felt it only appropriate to Award Arms to Thomas.

Lord Malik ibn Da’vd Al-rawandi was commanded to appear before King 
Dietrich.His Majesty talked of all of the service that Malik had done 
for the Barony of Nottinghill Coill as well as his new home, the Barony 
of Hawkwood, and His Majesty felt that it was the appropriate time to 
award Malik with an Opal.

His Majesty had one of His squires, Lord Diederich vom Basel, brought 
into court, where he was given a Silver Osprey for his skill on the 
fighting field.His Majesty was very proud of His newest squire.

The Three Barons Catering Service were called into court, but His 
Majesty was not happy that only 2 Barons actually came before Him.It 
turns out that Lord Ingvarr Erlingsson was not a Baron.Concerned that 
this might constitute fraud and unfair advertising practices, and 
wishing to protect these wonderful cooks, King Dietrich immediately 
rectified the situation by making Lord Ingvarr into a Baron of the Court.

The autocrat was called forward to speak of the days events and to award 
prizes to the winners of the various competitions.

His Majesty then invited Their Excellencies of Hawkwood to open Their 
court and conduct Baronial Business.

Following the close of Baronial Court, Sir Kieran Hunter came forward to 
beg a boon of His Majesty, who gladly granted it.Sir Kieran spoke of 
being inspired by Lady Caterina Corazon, and presented her with a 
special belt favor in appreciation.

With no other business on the docket, His Majesty had His court closed, 
and the assembled populace began to prepare for what turned out to be an 
AMAZING feast!

These events are all accurate to the best of my recollection.
