Her Ladyship Genevieve Barbota of Gryphonshold asked Their Highnesses to address the populace. Her words were read by the Royal Herald Bernadette Ebhilin Ard. “This weekend has been an absolutely incredible experience for me. I have had an absolute nightmare of car problems which have cumulated in my not going home today. I have been shown in so many ways what an incredible group the members of the SCA really are. I have no words to express what I feel and thank you just does not come close but it really is all I have. So thank you. Thank you to all the people who helped with love, with rides, with crash space and with money. Thank you to all who cared and all who understood. You have all re-affirmed my love for this society and for you all. Thank you.”
Members of the Royal Retinue who had not yet sworn fealty to Their Highnesses stepped forward to do so and were given their Retinue identifiers.
Rouva Finna Ketilsdottir, Principality Lists Minister, and her deputy Dominiqua Perreira, called forth Cordell Mac Beighn and recognized him for chivalry on the rapier field.
Her Highness Amanda spoke of a young lady, attending her first event, who impressed Her Highness with her courtesy. The young lady was identified as Ariel from Danescombe and Her Highness gifted her with a book, which was accepted by a representative from the Shire of Danescombe.
The autocrat, the Honourable Lord Enoch Jacobsz van Zuidenland, called forward and thanked the his autocrat team: Rouva Finna Ketilsdottir, Sevrin de Savage and Keinna Lady de Savage. His Lordship asked the populace to assist in the cleanup if they could, advised that a dagger was reported lost during the rapier tourney and asked the fighters to check their gear. Their Highnesses thanked the autocrat team for their hard work and presented them with gifts in recognition of their service.
Their Highnesses called forth His Lordship Duncan Darroch and thanked him for his auction efforts at the feast last evening, and advised that the dessert auction raised over $500 towards the Principality Travel Fund.
