Baronial Championship
And the winner was…
For the new Baronial Armoured Champion, Lord Kitan von Fulkenburg,
inspired by Lady Alesia de Cheval Blanc
Huzzah, huzzah, huzzah!
It was a great tourney, a round robin with everyone doing really well. Some very cool bouts and an edge-of-the-seat final between Duke Sir Cornelius von Becke and Lord Kitan von Fulkenburg - one bout each and then Kitan won the third bout decisively.
We were also pleased to name Niall of the Orkneys, who fought most valiantly and placed third in the tourney, as the Baronness’ new War Champion.
Great honour and chivalry were displayed by all in the tourney, before a large gallery of nobles watching and sharing their picnic from the shade of pavillions below fluttering pennants. As well as so many familiar faces from our Barony, it was wonderful indeed to see our fond friends from Radburne and Lady Maeve ni Iasachta who has just recently moved to Politarchopolis from Rowany. It was also a great joy to see the fine weather draw out a few familiar faces who have been long absent from Politarchopolis events.
It was a great day. Our thanks to all who made it so, most especially:
Niall of the Orkneys for great work in organising the tourney and for his set- up and pack up crew, Lady Caera Sionnach for painting and encouraging others to paint many pennants and banners, Lady Catherine of Glastonbury for heralding so well and encouraging others to join her in heralding the tourney, and Lady Joanna of the Beechwoods and Her Excellency Mistress Rowan Perigrynne who provided dancing and music.
