On the left, the event steward, Sir Galen of Bristol, has some announcements at the beginning of Their Stellar Majesties Gunthar & Sara's Friday evening court. Seated from left to right is the Tanista (heiress) of the Principality of Glen Abhean (Western Meridies) then Prince Daffydd, Princess Octavia (behind Galen), King Gunthar, Queen Sara, King Richard and Queen Katrina of Meridies. On the right, Lady Arabella de Montecute receives a Sable Crane (and a hug) for outstanding service to our kingdom.


At left, Gunthar & Sara, Rex & Regina Ansteorra in need of a little privacy. To the right, great fun was had by all as Their Majesties were carried about in their new bed. The bed was made by Sir Alaric Drake's (the King's Champion) household, who donated over $100 and built it themselves. Sir Drake described this gift as an appropriate tool to aid in Their Majesties' production of an heir. (The hall must have shook with the resulting laughter and applause.)


Here are a few of Ansteorra's future.





At left,  (and on the left) Lord Daniel Stewart can be seen in blue and gold. On the other side of the barrier in the foreground, in purple, is Lord Wolf Waldenganger, who went on to win the tourney. On the same side as he, in white, is Prince Daffydd. At right, a massive barrier battle is about to commence. The first few from (starting on the left) are: Sir Godwin, Sir Wilhelm, Ld. Dragonetti, Centurion Romanius, Lord Dominic and Sir Drake. Note: This only shows half of the fighters.





To the left, Centurion Mu is now visible to the left of Sir Godwin as the weapons fly and the blood spills the instant 'Lay On' is called. To the right, a new Shire is formally announced.



On the left, Don Miguel wins the Silver Spurs for that non-belted fighter who demonstrated a model of chivalry on the field. Sir Timotheous (blocked by Don Miguel) won the Gold Spurs as the belted fighter to answer His Majesty's challenge. At right, HRM Sara places a coronet on Sir Max as HRM Gunthar announces Sir Max (and Lady Anne who was unable to attend) as Baron and Baroness to the Court of Ansteorra. Vivat!


His Royal Majesty Gunthar presents the Kingdom's newest member of the Order of the Pelican, Master Richard Fairbourne. Vivat! On the right, Lady Alys Durivaux weeps upon receiving her Court Baronage which was all but demanded from 20 plus barons and baronesses of the kingdom. Again, Vivat!
