Memories

  • (From Oldenfeld’s newsletter The Lion’s Tale, July 1977, AS XII) On July 9/10 in South Downs, many firesteads journeyed north for the Princesses Tourney and Coronation III. Although the list fighting was very impressive, despite the heat, no one was too amazed when Sir John the Bearkiller won the title of Princess’s Champion. Oldenfeld’s coronation gifts consisted of a set of pewter salt cellars for the Princess and a set of juggling balls for the Prince (what every good prince needs, an extra set of balls). At Royal Court Lord Taliesynne Baron of Wyvernwood and Lady Rebecca of Twywn received the Order of the Pelican. Award of Arms went to Richard Palodine of Dragonswood of the Black Castle (our new principality Master of Science), to Heather of Tyson, and to Landrew the Unfinished. Knighthood was bestowed on Lord Orlando Calvacanti the Mad. The sumptuous feast was served by entertaining tavern wenches with much ribaldry and verbal exchange. Entertainment followed the coronation and feasting, and it was quite late when everyone finally managed to rest for the night.[1]
