Viscountess Elashava bas Riva, Seneschal for the Kingdom of Northshield, reports on and has posted photos from the Kingdom's recent Crown Tournament.

Her Excellency writes:

Yesterday was a great day for Northshield. The Barony of Nordskogen hosted a wonderful Crown Tournament filled with many wonderful memories to last this Kingdom a long time. The list was filled with honourable combatants who went out and had fun. The group A&S displays were wonderous. Friends were everywhere. We were witness to much that is good in Northshield.

Semi Finals:
Viscount Hrodir Vigageirr Toreson fighting for Viscountess Giulia Isabella da Venezia (17th & last Prince & Princess of Northshield) vs Sir Gunther Kegslayer (first knight of Northshield) fighting for Baroness Abbey Kegslayer - Hrodir proved victorious

Viscount Aubrey Swyftwater fighting for Viscountess Anne Geoffreys of Warwick (16th Prince & Princess of Northshield) vs Count Siegfried von Kulmbach (first King & third Prince of Northshield) fighting for the honour of Viscountess Gwyneth Felton (first Princess of Northshield--aka Linda Moore, current President of the SCA, Inc.) - Siegfried proved victorious

Finals:
Count Siegfried von Kulmbach (first King & third Prince of Northshield) fighting for the honour of Viscountess Gwyneth Felton (first Princess of Northshield--aka Linda Moore, current President of the SCA, Inc.) vs Viscount Hrodir Vigageirr Toreson fighting for Viscountess Giulia Isabella da Venezia (17th & last Prince & Princess of Northshield) - Siegfried proved victorious

Highlights of Court:
Lord Markus, Viscount Niklos & Viscount Hrodir were commended by the former Royal Consorts for their honour & chivalry on the list that day. Group A&S projects were exchanged. A number of well-deserved AoAs and Cygnuses were given out. THL Katriona ni Chonarain became a Companion of the Order of Tyr and Viscount Hrodir Vigageirr Toreson was put on vigil for the Order of Chivalry.

My view of the day, which was a bit limited, can be seen online.

As usual, if anyone has comments feel free to add them at any time. Picturesmay be used freely for SCA purposes and I will delete any that people request that I remove.

Enjoy.
