Photos on this page by Lord Armand Dragonetti.

On the left, a shot of the archery competition with Lord Fearghus MacKenna marshaling. On the right, some of the archers can be seen alongside Lord Corwin (in white), last year's Archery Defender, who is keeping track of the list. Lord Fearghus (in blue) is seen on the right. He went on to win the newcomers chivalric tourney the next day. Vivat!


On the left, a few of Ansteorra's children are seen having fun at the children's activities. On the right, Elfsea's Minister of Children, Lady Ameline du Bois, is helping several of the children make their own chitons (sp?) which they could each personalize with their own designs.


On the left, Lord Mableth and son Johnathan have had an exhausting day as demonstrated by their ability to nap in this position. On the right, the ever stylish, Lord Virgil von Atenburg takes a moment to show us his latest creation. Very nice. I suspect there's a future Thistle somewhere with this kind of garb-making ability.





On the left, Baron Llywelyn and Baroness Xara Xene address the populace at the opening of evening court. On the right, while all the children who competed in the Children's Bardic competition performed wonderfully and received prizes, Briana Dolfin's performance of "The Stone Cutter's Tale" won the overall competition as well as that of most period piece. She was awarded the grand prize of a fine cloak made by Lady Ameline, as well as many other prizes. (If anyone has a better photo, please send it and let me replace this poor one.)


On the left, in a fitting 'Gotcha', Lord Caelin on Andrede (in white with Chirurgeon's sash) reads an announcement from the populace awarding Baroness Xene Elfsea's Portcullis for outstanding service to her barony. (This photo provided by Centurion Airaklee Wolf). On the right, the autocrats Lady Rosalia O Brogan (in blue) and Lord Darius of the Bells (in black and gold) are seen in front of Baroness Dana Mac, Sir Galen, Lord Raimond. Mistress Stella is talking with Lord Conor and Lady Mara of Rede is seen on the left edge. Sir Galen, HL Allesandre and others were inducted into the Order of the Azure Keystone (Elfsea's highest service award) in the presence of the existing members of the order.


On the left, His Majesty Daffydd has just awarded a very surprised Brighid of Glenbaun her Award of Arms. In an unusal move, Their Majesties left their thrones, with entourage in tow and sought out Brighid amongst the populace. VIVAT, Lady Brighid! On the right, Lord Corbin de Heather (in the red Centurions cloak) receives a welcoming hug from Centurion Wolf as Lord Corbin has just been named the newest member to the Order of the Centurions. Vivat, Centurion Corbin!


On the left, a quick shot of HL Allesandre, Lady Siobhan, Lady Ameline and Lord Crandall as Sunday morning court is abut to begin. On the right, Lord Valentyne Drake has just received a Portcullis for his exceptional contributions to the barony.


On the left, His Majesty Daffydd has called Lady Ameline into court to recognize her example of chivalrous behavior and service during this event in her Minister of Children activities. On the right, Baroness Xene gave her personal thanks to Lady Ameline for her work during this event.
