At left,
traditionally the Queen has received a White Scarf as honorary Doņa and head of
the Rapier community during Her reign. Since Queen Kayleigh is herself a true
Doņa already (the first Ansteorran Queen with this distinction), her husband,
King Alaric, receives the White Scarf in a slight break from tradition. On the right,
the Dons & Doņas present swear their fealty to the Crown.
On the left, members of the populace who wished to were then given the chance
to swear fealty as well. On the right, Her Majesty is amused by a comment from
the populace.
At left, His Majesty of Trimaris did travel far to witness the coronation of
his longtime friend. In a gracious display, His Majesty Alaric grants safe
passage for the Trimarian monarch, inviting him to join and sit with him in the
Ansteorran court. On the right, the King Mittion has come bearing gifts for
Her Majesty Kayleigh as well as a gift of several gold chains for King Alaric's
use if any future knights are found within Ansteorra's borders. (He seemed like
a nice guy, to bad we'll have to kill him soon.)
At left, Lady Britta MacGreggor is made a member of the Royal Guard. On the right,
all of the members of the Royal Guard, which was composed of members of both the
chivalric and rapier communities and included a representative from each region
within the kingdom.
On the left, showing exceptional prowess and having been undefeated on the day, Ritter Deitrich is
called into court as the new King's Champion. VIVAT, Ritter Deitrich!!
At left,
His Excellency Thegn Duncan (a new member of the Royal Guard) displeased the
King when he was observed without his proper regalia. The King asked "Where
is your Centurion's Cloak?" Thegn Duncan foolishly claimed "Your
Majesty, I am not a Centurion". (By the way, His Majesty doesn't care to be
called a liar. I wouldn't advise it.) His Majesty's anger brought a gathering of
Centurions (with regalia) for their ignorant brother as Thegn Duncan was
quickly made a member of their order. VIVAT! On the
right, in a rare occurrence indeed, His Majesty Alaric awards His Majesty of
Trimaris an Ansteorran Sable Falcon for the prowess and honor that he had shown
earlier in the day during the King's Champion Tournament. The Trimarian King
fought all challengers and made challenges of his own and fought well in between
the rounds of the list.
Mistress Stella Silvanna was called into court, along with her co-autocrat (Lady
Arabella) and the feastocrat Master Petruccio to be recognized for their
outstanding service
to this event. In one of the best "gotcha's" I've witnessed, Mistress
Stella was then given a well deserved Court Barony. On the right, VIVAT! Your
Excellency! (My sincere thanks go to Lord Pieter for capturing this moment when
I was unable.)
At left,
members of Their Majesties Royal entourage, Brandi & Lord Virgil, squire to
His Majesty. On the right, a rare shot indeed of our beloved (albeit camera shy)
Baroness Dana Mac. (Something tells me I'm going to pay for this.)
