baronessekatYesterday was wonderful.
Thank you to the Barony of Thescorre for hosting Crown Tournament.
While the day started gloomy, there was a joy in the air that can only come from a group of like people coming together in the spirit of sportsmanship and community to enjoy an activity that has long been missed.
While it felt strange to be at a Crown Tournament and not be sitting/standing at the MoL table, running the lists, I got to experience an aspect of the event I have rarely done... I stood as consort for a fighter.
I was deeply honored and touched when Kieran MacRae asked me to be his consort for the day. He has been a long time and dear friend, and I could not have asked for a better Champion.
I was proud to stand at the side of the lists, watching and cheering him on. He fought well, he fought clean and he fought with honor. No consort could ask for more.
I also was touched by how many fighters and spectators came to me and told me how impressed they were with his skill and performance.
The day could not have happened without the help of my protege Simonetta who was there to constantly check on us, Baroness Juliana who stepped in to assist on the day of with Amalie's vigil so that I could stand as Kieran's inspiration, Kieran's man-at-arms Ingvar (for helping with the heavy lifting, Odriana for her blessing to be Kieran's consort for the day, to the fighters, marshals, Mistresses of the Lists, and herald for a well run tournament, and most especially to Their Majesties Gareth and Juliana for accepting our letter of intent.
I am proud to call myself a citizen of Æthelmearc and to have been the consort and inspiration for such a wonderful fighter and person.
Ad Gloriam.
