letter of intent

And not the heraldic kind.

To:

Their Royal Majesties of Drachenwald, Sven and Siobhan,
The Kingdom Seneschal, Duarte.

Notice of intent to contest crown tourney, Spring 2012.

Master Paul de Gorey and Lady Aryanhwy merch Catmael

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 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!

A fortuitous mistake indeed! If it weren't, then I'd be hopping on over to Germany this weekend for Academia, an event I'd been considering attending but fell lax on making arrangements for, and I wasn't looking forward to trying to make arrangements at the last minute!
