Nevik Demonovich has posted a photo album from the Middle Kingdom's May 25 Crown Tournament, held in the Barony of Fenix.

Sir Ullr Vindstygge defeated Duke Edmund of Hertford in the second of two Crown Tourneys fought on May 25, 2008, to gain the right to name his inspiration, AnneLyse, as Princess of the Midrealm.

“The law says he must fight for his crown. I say he has done so. Standing before me is a true King. I will not raise my weapon against Him.” With these words, Duke Dag Thorgrimsson ended the Middle Kingdom Crown Tournament and, for the second time in five weeks, Lutr Ulfskjald was crowned King of the Middle.

The Board of Directors of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. has released the following announcement concerning the Crown of the Middle Kingdom.

On May 25, the Middle Kingdom will host two Crown Tournaments to establish first a current Sovereign and Consort, then the Royal Heirs, after a Board action in accordance with Corpora cut short the reign of Lutr and Tessa.

Master Philip the Pilgrim shares two albums of photos from recent events in the Middle Kingdom on his Flickr website.

1297 years and 4 days earlier, on April 29, 711, Tariq ibn Ziyad (Taric the One Eyed) swept into Visigothic Hispania. After his Berber armies arrived at Gibraltar, the Iberian Peninsula would never be the same again.
