Cousins, it delights me to report that Winter War challenges were successful.
The following nobles advanced to the rank of Scholar:
- Gwynn of Eoforwic (previously Vince of Eoforwic) – who received his AoA that day!
- Henry Foster
- William Rigson of Monadh
The following noble advanced to the rank of Free Scholar:
- Arcill beg mac Ruadrí big mic Sithig
On the day, to support Lord Arcill’s challenge to Free Scholar, I asked HLord Geörg Stauffer, OTH, to fence alongside the free scholars present who were myself (Genevieve la flechiere) and Mr Eyrny, plus Master Albrecht as Dean, so there were a mix of challengers for Arcill.
Thank yous
- to the many academy members for showing up to provide a suitable challenge for the candidates
- to Master Giovanni d’Enzinas for marshalling
- to Mistress Lucia d’Enzinas for tracking results
- to HE Gerrard Carpentarius for witnessing the challenges
I’m grateful for many skilled combatants outside the academy including His Majesty Tristam, who joined during the open field time.
His Majesty presented the scarves to the candidates on the field.
My thanks to Lord Edric Crowe as marshal in charge of fencing for Winter War, for making time and space for the academy to conduct challenges.
Next challenges: Lady Mary Memorial Tournament
Coming soon – sooner than you think!
Master Albrecht is in charge of fencing for the Lady Mary Memorial Tournament in Rising Waters and will reserve time for the academy to do challenges should we wish it.
For advancement in the ranks and growing skills in Ealdormere, WASSAIL!
