letter of intent
And not the heraldic kind.
I'm entering Drachenwald's next Crown Tournament. In one month's time.
This morning I awoke to an email from Robert of Canterbury subjected "Are you sitting comfortably...?" containing a proposal I'd never expected to receive in my SCA career. Master Paul de Gorey is entering Crown, and his lady, Anne, prefers to be the king's mistress rather than his Queen. Robert wanted to know if I'd be interested in being Paul's consort.
My first response was "King Paul? How cool!" There are a handful of people that I would dearly love to see sit on thrones -- Robert and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bend_gules were two, and I'm still miffed that it was ID and not Drachenwald that they ruled, since that means I wasn't their subject; jpgsawyer and edith_hedingham are two more; and Paul is a fifth. I'm delighted and honored and excited and flattered at the thought that he might be king and that he'd be willing for me to be his queen.
So! The letter of intent went off last night, I've got to make travel plans and register for the event, and I suppose now I really do need to make Gwen some garb.badgersandjam, I owe you a big sloppy kiss for listing the Oxford scriptorium event in the DT! For awhile I thought I hadn't attended enough events in the last 18 months, because I didn't see the scriptorium on the kingdom calendar online. But then Robert found it in the DT, so there we go!
To:
Their Royal Majesties of Drachenwald, Sven and Siobhan,
The Kingdom Seneschal, Duarte.

You've probably paid more attention to this than I have -- how often do the summer king/queen not go to Pennsic? (When is Pennsic this year? Does it clash with Raglan?)

Alaric and Nerissa attended Visby instead (and made Mad Hakon a Laurel, which is pretty cool).
You can appoint a warlord: someone like Sir Matthew, or Sir Marcus (Drachenwald expats living in AEthelmearc) or someone else who loves melee, to organise the ferocious D'wald spear squad - and a trusted royal peer to go to queens' teas and pass out gifties. :-)
