Greetings from the CoronetGreetings from the CoronetGreetings from the CoronetGreetings from the Coronet Unto the glorious populace of Atenveldt,
A big THANK YOU to everyone for coming out to the 40th Anniversary of the Barony and our Investiture. It was wonderful to see both old and new faces and listen to the stories of how our group started and the changes that
have happened throughout the years.
It has been an amazing couple of weeks since we have assumed our new responsibilities. The Populace of Atenveldt has embraced us warmly and we
feel very honored by all the love and support you have shown us.
Our first Baronial Champions event is approaching quickly. We hope that everyone will join us on October 31st. We promise to wrap up the activities of the day in a timely manner for everyone to have time to enjoy All Hallows
Eve in the manner in which they choose.
If your group wishes to compete for the Best Land in the Barony at Estrella War, bring your period tents and heraldic displays to Baronial Champions or Southern Crusades. We will be judging the most period view when looking through the gate of your camp at both these events. The winner will be awarded the most visible and best location in the Barony. For more details on this competition and competing for the honor of Baronial Champion, see this
issue of the Palm Prints.
We also want to take this opportunity to thank Lord Harry Rudkin for making more lights to fight by and Lord Marcus Finelly Bond and his crew for setting up the lights and generator every Wednesday night. Without your efforts, our
fighter practice would be in the dark.
In closing, remember…
“If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is GOOD!!”

Estrella War looms in the very near future, and all those planning to attend know the importance of land and its location. This year, Their Excellencies will be holding a contest that will give a house, clan, village or group the honor of camping in the best location in the Barony of Atenveldt. This is the
Baronial land nearest to the battle fields and Merchants Row.
At Baronial Champions or at Southern Crusades, Their Excellencies ask that you bring ambience by flying banners, pennants, walls to show your espirit de corp for your group and Barony. You only need to display at one of these events. Their Excellencies and Their Cousins will be judging the best period display as seen from the road passing your gate. An announcement regarding
the winning group will be made at Southern Crusades.
For questions regarding this competition, contact Lord Roland Childeric de Laon at [email protected].

Champions, a HistoryChampions, a HistoryChampions, a HistoryChampions, a History Article adapted from Wikipedia and Historic-UK web sites.
By Ailleann Inghean Fhrangaigh (mka Mariann Holder-Webber)
The Champion of England, according to the Random House Dictionary, is –
a noun, meaning:
A hereditary official at British coronations, representing the
king ( King’s Champion) or the queen (Queen’s Champion),
who is being crowned, and having originally the function of
challenging to mortal combat any person disputing the right
of the sovereign to rule.
The office of Champion is a hereditary office in the UK that apparently dates
back to William the Conqueror. The first Champion was granted to Sir Robert
Marmyon in 1066. Sir John Dymoke (married to an heiress of the Marmyon
family) exercised the office at the Coronation of Richard II. The Dymoke
family of Scrivelsby, Lincolnshire, has continued to hold the office up to the
present day.
Originally it was the champion’s duty to ride, on a white charger, fully clad in
armor, into Westminster Hall during the Coronation Ceremony. There he
threw down his gauntlet and challenged any person who dared to deny the
sovereign’s right to the throne. The Champion was rewarded with a gilt cov-
ered cup, the King or Queen Regnant having first drunk to the Champion
from it. If the Champion’s challenge was accepted by any person (and rumor
has it that once a disguised Jacobite swordsman actually did challenge the
Dymoke of the day to combat the next day in Hyde Park … although this
story is apparently only a rumor), and the Champion fought, and won, he got
as his fee the armor he wore, and the horse he rode (both of which were on
loan).

By the way, the Champion’s armor used for coronations of James I to George
IV still exists and is on display in St. George’s Hall, Windsor Castle.
The words of the challenge used for the Coronation of King George IV were
these:
“If any person, of whatever degree soever, high or low, shall
deny or gainsay our Sovereign Lord George King of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Defender of
the Faith, son and next heir unto our Sovereign Lord the last
King deceased, to be the right heir to the imperial Crown of
the realm of Great Britain and Ireland, or that he ought not
to enjoy the same, here is his Champion, who saith that he
lieth, and is a false traitor, being ready in person to combat
with him and in the quarrel will adventure his life against
him on what day soever he shall be appointed.”
At the Coronation of the present Queen, a member of the Dymoke family was present, but he did not throw down a gauntlet or challenge anyone … instead
he had the honor of carrying the Royal Standard in the Coronation procession.

Halloween:
The term Halloween, originally spelled Hallowe’en, is shortened from All
Hallows’ Even ("All Hallows' Eve") [eve is an abbreviation of even, an older word for evening. Halloween gets -een as a re-sult of syncopation of even to e'en], from the Old English term eallra hālgena ǃǃǃǃfen meaning "All Hallow' Evening", as it is the eve of "All Hallows’ Day",[10] which is now also known as All Saints’ Day. It was a day of religious festivities in various northern European pagan traditions,[11] until Popes Gregory III and Gregory IV moved the old Christian feast of All Saints’ Day from May 13 (which had itself been the date of a pagan holiday, the Feast of the Lemures) to November 1. In the 9th century, the Church measured the day as starting at sunset, in accor-dance with the Florentine calendar. Although All Saints’ Day is now considered to occur one day after Halloween, the two holi-days were, at that time, celebrated on the same day.

By Bannthegn Alianora da Lysharet
(Originally presented at Barony of Atenveldt’s 40th Anniversary)
Starting with number one because old people are easily confused:
1. Red houppelandes are no longer restricted to the Seneschal/Baron.
This one is mine, you can’t have it, and it wouldn’t fit you anyway.
2. The SCA actually lasted. So did Atenveldt.
3. Living history is now mainstream and people see it as just another hobby like gardening or bowling. They no longer ask if we’re in a
play ---They assume we’re with a Renn Faire.
4. Not only did Ysgithr last, we now have 6 baronies in Atenveldt.
They are all claiming to be the first barony.
5. Being Baron of Atenveldt is a big deal these days. Barons are now elected, and they get to have super cool investitures. No more ring
toss with Baronial coronets.
6. Ironsteed now has white hair and a beard. Small children invariably
assume that he is Santa Claus’ evil twin.
7. Nobody plays clench-a-wench anymore. Our backs and knees can’t
take it.
8. The Crown now seldom holds processions. There are so many
people, I think they’re afraid of being stampeded.
9. Felicia MacChluarain now has a secret identity as an ASU professor.
10. Robert Roundpounder is an electrician who wires swimming pools. Watching other people dig ditches reminds him of his ducal glory
days.
11. Ivan of Navarette changed his name to Ivan du Grae, got a job,
married Kathleen and is now the grandfather of our future overlord.
12. Woodford of Lorien grew up to be an IRS Agent. Really! His secret
plan is to institute a tax credit for trebuchets.
13. The Kingdom of Atenveldt now has several pairs of beautiful crowns. The “ancient and uglies” (The original copper crowns) have
Palm Prints 19 October 2009
been retired.
14. There are now 19 Kingdoms, including one in Europe and one in
Australia. Those old principalities of ours bred like rabbits.
15. There is a barony on Antarctica and 3 branches in South Africa.
Really!
16. The Zagnuts have 8 grown children, 3 grandchildren, two artificial
joints and one pacemaker among them.
17. Joseph the Good and Arthur of Lockhaven were forced to graduate and take jobs, and both of them have been married to one woman each for more than 30 years. (They did get the Zagamar blondes,
though.)
18. Charles of the J.A.Q.s still has some hair.
19. Arthur of Lockehaven has no hair but much beard.
20. Robert is still Blind (Well, mostly anyway) and still wears a kilt. By sheer longevity and refusing higher awards, he has become the
premier armiger of Atenveldt.
21. Lorelei and Care-Cheri still have lots of hair and are still photogenic.
22. Joseph the Good has all his hair, but it’s now white.
23. Rapier combat is not only legal, they even have tournaments and get
awards. It is officially called “swishy-poke”.
24. Deaton, Joseph, Arthur & Poncho still plan to fight. They’ve locked
in a group discount rate on heraldic walkers.
25. Marya isn’t quite so Mad, but she is no longer skinny.
Grandmotherhood suits her.
26. Southwind is no longer printed on Salt River Project’s mimeograph.
27. Not only are the Board of Directors unrelated to each other, none of
them live at Elf Hill.
28. And…as you always dreamed, Atenveldt is once again just the State
of Arizona. Now the Iskies are demanding their own kingdom.

November 12-16, 2009
Barony of Tir Ysgithr & Barony March of Mons Tonitrus
Southern Crusades XI will celebrate the gallantry and glory of the Middle Ages! The armies of the Barony of Tir Ysgithr and the Barony March of Mons Tonitrus are pleased to host this exercise in the Arts of Glorious Combat, Creative Arts & Sciences and Service.

Come November, bring your weapons, your families, bring bread and the comforts of the Hearth, to Winkelman, AZ to celebrate gallantry and glory!
Winkelman Flats is a 42-acre campground on the banks of the Gila River. Enormous cottonwood and eucalyptus trees provide shade throughout the campground, and potable water is available from spigots on-site. There are “limited” permanent showers and permanent restrooms. Nine RV hookups are also available on a reserved basis (contact Site Autocrat for reservations and restrictions). Site is wet, with smoking & fires allowed (subject to current fire restrictions).

ARTS & SCIENCES: There will artisan corner displays and A&S classes. For more information on classes, or to volunteer to teach a class, contact the A&S Autocrat: Lady Mishia MacBain (Machiel Lea Bain) at [email protected] or [email protected].
YOUTH ACTIVITIES: Once again, we will feature Halfling Hall, a center for young people to come and participate in youth activities. Parents/guardians are expected to understand that Halfling Hall IS NOT A BABYSITTING SERVICE. There will be areas for young people to work on crafts projects, create art, play games, hear stories and much more. The children and teenagers will have a chance to work on a special project for the War creating tapestries depicting their War experiences. See the event Website and gatebook for additional information. As always, parents and guardians are encouraged to stay and participate in Youth Activities, and volunteers (especially those who are warranted SCA Officers) are always welcome.
Palm Prints 21 October 2009
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: We ask all attendees to please sign up at Autocrat’s Point for at least two hours of volunteer time to support this wonderful event! Volunteers are needed for Security, Troll, Waterbearing, Halfling Hall (Youth Activities), and to serve as Town Criers (the ones who let everyone know what and where things are happening!). Homemade soup, sandwiches, snacks, coffee, tea, cider and hot chocolate will be provided for all volunteers while they are on shift. Each time you volunteer, you will receive three raffle tickets that are automatically entered in a Volunteer Raffle for prizes.
COMBAT COOKERY: The time is fast approaching to sharpen your knives, grab your aprons and test your culinary skills in pan to pan combat! The 11th Annual Southern Crusades Combat Cooking Competition registration is now open! Most of the rules will be similar to past competitions. See the Website or the gatebook for more details. For more info, see the Website at http://www.southerncrusades.org.
