Greetings to the Populace!

August is a very busy month for us! While many of us are just getting home from Pennsic, others

are preparing for Flight of the Falcon (8/17) & our Baronial Birthday (at the end of the month).

There will be several Champion positions becoming available at Baronial Birthday, so keep your

eyes open!

At our Baronial Business Meeting, we'll be voting on the proposed policy changes (included in

this newsletter). Most of the changes are merely cosmetic, correcting spellings and grammar, but

there are a couple items that are substantial.

First, "The Baronial Coronet shall be defined as the territorial baron and/or baroness appointed by

the Crown of Atlantia" has been changed to "The Baronial Coronet shall be defined as the individ-

ual(s) appointed by the Crown of Atlantia." This keeps us up to date with Kingdom Law.

Second, our officer structure has been simplified to, again, bring us in line with what Kingdom

does. Specifically, the Archery & Rapier Marshals will be Deputies to the Marshal office rather

than officer positions. This will have a side effect of making these offices much easier to fill by

eliminating the additional requirements of being a Baronial Officer (meeting attendance, monthly

reports, etcetera).

The last thing I'd like to mention is War of the Wings VIII. Our biggest event of the year is rapid-

ly approaching, with less than two months to go! I hope to see you all there and wearing your best

green for Processional!

Yours, in Service and Art,

There was no meeting in July

Our next Baronial Business Meeting is on 8/18/2013

at 2pm at the Star of Bethlehem Church in Winston

Salem (1355 Jonestown Road).

OFFICER REPORTS

From the desk of the Baronial Marshal:

I am happy to report that overall, Marshal activities are

taking place within the Barony and there are no negative

issues which need to be dealt with.

A Rapier practice is once again taking place within the

Barony and is focused on the novice fighter, though all

are welcome to attend. The first of these are scheduled

on Aug 11th and Aug 25th and will take place at Bunker

Hill High School, 4675 Oxford School Rd, Claremont,

NC 28610. The listed start time is 3:00 PM.

The Warriors Heart Challenge, a Baronial Heavy prac-

tice and tournament is also taking place within the Baro-

ny on a monthly basis. The first of these was held on Ju-

ly 14th and had 14 fighters in attendance. The next will

be taking place on August 11th in Salsibury, NC. Please

contact me at [email protected] for more details.

As a reminder to anyone attending an event (whether it

be a canton event or a baronial event) who may be hop-

ing to authorize, please be sure to contact the Marshal in

Charge of the event letting them know of your desire to

authorize so that arrangements can be made to insure

that a Marshal from outside of the area (meaning outside

of the Barony) is in attendance. Also be sure that you

notify them well in advance of the event.

From Atlantian Policy, Section 3.4.5 regarding Authori-

zations and Marshals:

3.4.5 Marshals

3.4.5.1 At least one of the marshals must live in a dif-

ferent local group from the candidate. If the candidate

lives in a barony, at least one of the marshals must live

outside that barony.

Warriors Heart Challenge – August Recap

Thanks again to everyone who came out and participated

in this challenge. As has been reported already there

were 14 fighters in armor who braved the humidity and

heat. The first installment of the Challenge Tournament

went fairly well. The current Challenge standings can be

found here:

http://goo.gl/iuztt4

The fighters also had some good discussion amongst

themselves, focusing on what they would like to see cov-

ered in the future. The melee portion of the day went

well with a number of skirmishes which finished with

the noble knights (Sir Marc, Sir Axel and Duke Alaric)

as well as Master Achbar facing off against everyone

else. More discussion was had and everyone then called

it a day.

For any fighters, marshals (or individuals interested in

attending these practices in order to learn about becom-

ing a fighter or marshal) there is a Facebook Group

which I have setup specifically for the Warriors Heart

Challenge. It will serve as the primary source of infor-

mation for upcoming challenges as well as a place for all

participants to give me feedback and suggestions of what

to cover at upcoming practices.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/

WarriorsHeartChallenge/

August, 11th is the next scheduled Warriors Heart Chal-

lenge. The start time is 1:00 PM (for slow drills and in-

struction). The address for the practice is: 132 Morlan

Park Rd Salisbury, NC.

Greetings from your new Baronial MoAS!

Pennsic has come and gone and many in the

Barony are flexing their artistic muscles. Be it

making new garb, making banners, or practicing

the skills they learned at Pennsic, the members

of the Barony are in artistic overdrive! Even

though War of the Wings is right around the cor-

ner, it can be easy to overlook the A&S competi-

tions and displays at the events this month.

There are 3 competitions this year for Flight of

the Falcon; An ‘Un-Competition’ which is de-

signed for feedback and display, a poetry compe-

tition sponsored by the Poeta Atlantiae, and a

fingerloop braiding race! I am looking forward

to seeing what people come up with.

At Sacred Stone’s Baronial Birthday we have 5

competitions. With this year’s theme being Mo-

roccan, all of the A&S will follow suit. We have

a Leather and Jewelry competition (extra points

for leather jewelry!), a Non-Alcoholic Drink

competition that is populace vote, a Silent Auc-

tion where entrants hock their wares, and a poet-

ry competition sponsored by the Poeta Atlantiae!

This year, Their Excellencies Sine and Oshi are

also choosing their new Baronial Artisan. I wish

everyone who enters good luck, and I look for-

ward to seeing your wonderful creations and

tasting those yummy non-alcoholic drinks!

I have some plans for Baronial A&S gatherings,

so keep an eye on the Baronial e-list for infor-

mation!

In Service and Art,

~Seigneur Dreux d’Anjou

From the Seneschal of the Canton of Mid-

dlegate:

The Canton of Middlegate continues to work hard and

explore new ideas.

Our recently launched Blogletter has been well received

and has been featured on the Kingdom of Atlantia Face-

book page, one article is now included on the Atlantian

A&S Links page and a few articles have been included

on Stefans Florilegium.

Our Canton Meeting and two of our weekly A&S nights

are now taking place at a local coffee shop in Greensbo-

ro. This has been a great boon to the Canton so far as we

have attracted a great deal of curiosity, lots of questions

from onlookers and best yet, we have brought in 8 new

participants over the last two months, several of whom

will be in attendance at Flight of the Falcon.

Plans and work are underway for next years installment

of our local event, ….of the Stone. Be prepared to be

transported to Germany, watch for more details about

Gesangs of the Stone.

Greetings from your Baronial Chronicler

I just wanted to take a moment to say that this

will be my last newsletter as your Baronial

Chronicler. Lady Catherine Ambrose will offi-

cially be stepping up in Sept to take my place.

It has been my honor to serve as your Chronicler

and I hope you will give her your support and

send your articles and reports to her.

Thanks,

Yours in Service,

Lady Caitlin MacDonoghue

Baronial Rapier Challenge

My name is Signore Vincenzo d'Este, Rapier Champion of the Barony of the Sacred Stone. I have heard the stirrings of rumors that there are those among you who see yourselves fit to succeed me in my position as Champion.

I am issuing a challenge to all those who find themselves worthy. At the celebration of our great Barony's birthday, I will take the field and allow all those who seek to take my position to prove themselves worthy before their Excellencies of Sacred Stone.

I challenge you not only to prove yourselves on the field of battle, but also to show your skill in an art beyond the scope of combat. You will also need to speak your in-tentions and ideas for your time as champion. Prove to them that you are honorable both on and off the field, that you are ready to improve not just yourself, but the Barony of which we are all a part, that you will heed their word, and that you will strive in all your actions to show the courtesy and skill which our barony is so proud to display.

If you think that you can do all that is asked, then present yourselves to myself at the upcoming celebration and let us see if you can prove yourself ready to become the next great champion of our barony.

In service,

Signore Vincenzo d'Este

The rules of combat will be a round robin tourney using only a single blade. We will fight best 2 out of 3 with each match. The final round will be between the top two scoring fighters of the round robin.

The fighters will have to present an A&S project matching one of the categories that are being used for the event.

Their Excellencies also want some time to speak with each fighter about their inten-tions for their time as champion if they are selected.

The Ipswich Mint

Part One: The Hobby of Kings

When I first joined the Society for Creative Anachronism, the collecting, cleaning and attribution

of ancient coins (in specific Roman coins) was to be my Arts & Sciences focus. This will be a se-

ries of articles on what I learned way back when. Enjoy.

Brief History and Justification

To begin, the first minting of coinage occurred in about the sev-

enth to sixth century BC. There is some debate as to where the

first coins were minted, but the ancient civilizations of Anatolia,

Greece, India and China are all likely candidates. Before the ap-

pearance of coins, precious metals were commonly used as the

basis for trade, but needed to be carefully weighed at each transaction and the purity of the

metal verified. This was probably not conducive to a rapid exchange of goods. The development

of minted coinage in which the weight and metal composition were certified by a government

represented a significant advance in the evolution of commerce.

When I first started this hobby, I was told on several occasions that this was not a valid ‘period’

project. Well, I have to disagree. There are many indications that the collecting of coins beyond

the purpose of simply hoarding them dates back to at least the Roman Era. Emperor Augustus is

often cited as being one of the first collectors of coins. According to Suetonius in his De vita

Caesarum (The Lives of the Twelve Caesars), written in the first century CE, the Emperor Augus-

tus sometimes presented old and exotic coins to friends and courtiers during festivals and other

special occasions. During the reign of Trajanus Decius (ad 249–251), the Roman mint issued a se-

ries of coins commemorating all of the deified emperors from Augustus through Severus Alexan-

der. The designs on these coins replicated those of coins issued by the honoured rulers—some

of the original coins being nearly 300 years old by that time. It would have been necessary for

the mint to have examples of the coins to use as prototypes, and it is hard to see such an assem-

blage as anything but a collection. The eminent French numismatist Ernest Babelon, in his 1901

work Traité des monnaies Grecques et Romaines, refers to a manuscript dating to 1274, Thesau-

rus magnus in medalis auri optimi, which recorded a formal collection of ancient coins at a mon-

astery in Padua, Italy.

During the 15th and 16th centuries, ancient-coin collecting became the “hobby of kings,” and the

list of collectors is a list of European nobility. The Italian scholar and poet Petrarch is credited with

being the pursuit's first and most famous aficionado. Following his lead, many European kings,

princes, and other nobility kept collections of ancient coins. Some notable collectors were Pope

Boniface VIII, Emperor Maximilian of the Holy Roman Empire, Louis XIV of France, Ferdinand I,

Henry IV of France and Elector Joachim II of Brandenburg.

It is during the Renaissance that the collection of ancient coins became known as the “Hobby of

Kings”, perhaps because only the very wealthy could afford the pursuit. In these early days, coin

collecting was very much associated with art collecting. Coins were valued as much or more for

attractive or interesting imagery, as they were for scarcity or historic significance.

Flight of the Falcon

135 Camp Sertoma Road

Dallas, NC 28034

August, 17th 2013

Come one, come all. The time for Flight of the Falcon is here again. From marshall activities

and arts and sciences to classes and dancing, we have something for everyone.

On the fighting field, we promise enough heavy and rapier fighting to leave even the heartiest

fighter winded. Headed by our own Lord Symon de Ipswich, we invite all fighters to come demonstrate

their prowess for all to see. We plan on an Introduction to Tourney class to be held field side so that

those who are not familiar or those that just have questions may have a proper demonstration of tech-

niques.

For those that the fiber arts holds more sway, we offer a Fiber Solar. Whether you are new to

fumbling with string or a laurel looking to reconnect with your fellow fiber artists, we invite all to attend.

There will also be an Un-competition. For those of you not familiar, this competition is open to any and

all projects and finished products. There is no judging, just constructive feedback and admiration.

Next to Poeta Atlantiae, the theme of which will not be unveiled until the day of the event. Come and

spin rhymes and words into glorious poetry. And lastly, ready? Set? Go!!! A fingerloop braiding race

to see who is the fastest and most accurate braider in the barony. You will have one minute, so be

ready to see fingers fly.

Classes will be offered through the course of the day. A list of classes and times will be availa-

ble at gate.

The feast is a delicious string of dishes created by Lady Aine O Grienan. From Pork and Apple

Pie to Roasted Chicken and Fruit Kebobs, this promises to be a real treat. And shrouded in mystery is

what delectable surprise Lady Aine has in store for desert.

Following feast, there will be dancing in the hall. Musicians and dancers come enjoy the revelry

as we dance the night away.

Merchants are encouraged to contact the Reservationist, Lady Elizabeth Sabine de Northum-

berland. We are working towards having a true period market place for all to enjoy.

Please come join us for this wonderful event and help us make it truly spectacular!

Rowan County Fair Demo

Sat 21-Sep-2013 13:00 w/tourneys at 6:00PM and 8:00PM

In honor of the Battle of Saint Mathews Day (21 Sep 1217)

(A battle between the Teutonic Knights and Estonians)

The Canton of Salesberie Glen will host 2 Bearpit Tourneys at the fair.

There will be two 1 hour bearpit tournaments (tentatively set for 6:00PM and 8:00PM)

The combatant with the most points from both tourneys will win the Tourney prize.

We will start the tournaments with a parade thru the fairgrounds to the stadium where the tour-

neys will occur (ala a Knights tale).

The tourneys will begin with a best out of 3 melees.

The Tourney Prize will be a Stein commemorating the tournament (like the St Urhos’s Tourna-

ment Steins in the past)

The SCA will also have an area set up throughout the day for demonstrations of the gentler arts

(weaving, embroidery, chainmail construction, leather working etc)

This is not an event, this is a demo. The fair draws literally many thousands of people, and

should be a great place to recruit.

The SCA tournament is entertainment for the fair goers, and will have some theatrics thrown in

to further entertain the crowd.

I am looking for fighters as well as arts oriented people. This has the possibility of becoming a

major recurring demo for Salesberie Glen. The fair is very excited to have us, as we are some-

thing new and fresh for them. Salesberie Glen locals…I am also looking for people who can at-

tend the fair during the week leading up to the 21st in garb to distribute Tournament info to fair-

goers

Entrance on these days will be free as well.

I need a head count of people planning on attending so I can arrange for free entrance for SCA

participants.
