Greetings,

Sorry the Sentinel is a bit late! I have just lost my Dad, some of you knew him while I was part the Eisenmarche, he played under the name Brother Hebare – it was a death after a long illness, sad but not tragic. Nevertheless, it still required and deserved my time. (Should any of you who knew him want details, please contact me privately)

Apparently is not a good time to try to pick up the strings of an office. When I hand it on, I will try to make sure I have a Deputy who wants the job be- fore so they can be trained! (You could all start thinking about that – it is never to soon! : ) ) That being said, I must point out my eSentinel Deputy, Lord Þórbjórn Bjórnsson has saved the day – without his support you would not be reading this. Please send him much praise!

May you all enjoy the Yule Season – may you all have peace, and family and friends!

Curia Minutes

*A&S -* The categories for Bardic are being reworked.

*Chatelaine* –This has been a quite quarter. Presents a plea for ‘family’ content to Bardic presentations, at times when the younger members are present. Has had a few reporting issues.

*Chronicler* -Mistress Theocharista Irena Diaconia stepping down and HL Meredith of the White Cliffs is taking the office.

*Constable * - Job Vacant – please apply!

*Exchequer* He found the branch reporting mediocre. Needed a budget approved for postage by Jan 1^st . TirRigh Officers need to have their budgets approved by Jan. 1^st . Also needs a deputy.

*Herald* Several barons are working on the ceremonial. The roster of scribes and heralds is on the Tir Righ forum. The systems must be updated. The Host must be changed to accommodate the softwear. Currently we are spending $140 per year. He estimates that it may increase to $200 per year. At present only Duchess Jacintha can update the Tir Righ Order of Precedence. With the new softwear several people could share the job.

*Lists* Also stepping down soon.

*Blades * Stepping down in May. Looking for a replacement.

*Waterbearer* Sent report. No problems.

*Scribes* - working on a Scribes Handbook. Concerning the Tir Righ seals, the quality of the signet ring was poor. Suggest a die cast ring.

*Seneschal* - Dame Magdalena Kress is stepping up into this position.

More timely reports are needed from the branches. Some branches were suspended for not reporting but that has been resolved. False Isle’s reports had gone missing but a reinstatement notice will be published. Cold Keep may be annexed at 12^th Night to Tir Righ from Avacal. However they may fight in either principality. (Details are still being worked out)

Stables – No incidents reported. Reports are being received from officers in good time.

*Event Bids* Should be in by the last week in May.

Due to Legal difficulties, the 40^th Year event is now a matter for the local branch

The next meeting will be at: Tir Righ Spring Coronet and A&S Championship April 21 - 23

First Court of Their Highnesses Ulf and Amanda, Prince and Princess of Tir Righ

Tir Righ Winter Investiture November 19, 2005 being A.S. XL Shire of Danescombe

After serving the Principality of Tir Righ as its Prince and Princess, Ieuan Gower and Gwyneth Gower were entered into the ranks of Viscount and Viscountess and presented with scrolls created by the Royal Scribe Çinara beguy Urdina. Their Highnesses Ulf and Amanda also presented Viscount Ieuan and Viscountess Gwyneth with gifts in appreciation of their service. Viscountess Ieuan and Viscountess Gwyneth left Their Highnesses’ presence and then returned to swear fealty.

Members of the Order of the Rose and of the Order of the Valorous Estate were called forth. Hleafdige Thora Golvik, first Princess of Tir Righ, explained to the populace the significance of the Princess’ Talon bead. Viscount- ess Gwyneth was welcomed into the Order of Valorous Estate and presented with a box of the beads she used during her reign.

Hleafdige Thora showed Princess Amanda a box of potential beads for selection for the Princess’ Talon and Her Highness did select one.

Her Highness Princess Amanda knelt before Prince Ulf, thanked Him for fighting for Her in Tir Righ’s Coronet Tourney and presented Prince Ulf with a book (created by Leah of Surrey).

The Prince’s Guards were called forth and did swear fealty. His Highness presented His Guard with their Retinue identifiers, being a red and green hood embellished with His Highness’ symbol (a beaver). Viscountess Bernadette Ebhilin Ard was appointed Captain of the Prince’s Guard.

Her Highness’ Ladies in Waiting were called forth, knelt to swear fealty and were given their Retinue identifiers, being blue pouches with Her Highness’ fret in the centre of white stars stenciled on blue fabric.

The Princess’ Guards were called forth, knelt to swear fealty and were their Retinue identifiers, being blue armbands with Her Highness’ fret upon blue fabric stenciled with white stars. Her Highness Amanda explained to the populace that Her Guard includes A&S Guards, who will provide Arts and Sciences service to the Principality throughout Her Reign. Sir Griffin ap Bedwyr, not present at Investiture, is the Captain of the Princess’ Guard.

On behalf of Their Highnesses, the Court Herald read out “Thanks to Algae McBeign for creating all the armbands, many hands helped create the pouches.” A correction was then read out “Vivien made all the pouches, Algae did the majority of the armbands.”

Children serving Their Highnesses as Pages were called forth, knelt to swear fealty and were given their Retinue identifiers, being blue and white tabards.

The Royal Retinue were called forth, knelt to swear fealty and were given their Retinue identifiers, being armbands with a white crown upon blue fabric stenciled with white stars. Mistress Kettilsdottir is the Head-of-Retinue, Her Ladyship Yolande Chastellain is the Assistant-Head-of-Retinue.

Jarl Hwolf Einarson then came before Their Highnesses, knelt and swore on his father’s sword “As a sworn knight of Tir Righ in all except my oath in arms in which I am bound to my King, I bind myself now and forever more to the thrones of Tir Righ and my Princess Amanda. My thanks, Ulf, for putting Her here.”

The populace of Tir Righ were invited to come forward and swear fealty to Their Highnesses and many did come forward, kneel and so swear.

His Lordship Edrik ap Pengam, Gamesmaster to Their Highnesses, did speak to the populace. His Lordship will be running a reign-long games tournament as asked by Their Highnesses. Every event Their Highnesses attend will have a games tourney, a different game at each event, and at the conclusion of Their Reign a prize will be awarded to the overall winner. Edrik announced that the first game would be “Cross and Pile” (also known as “flip a coin”) and that it would begin at 9:30am on Sunday.

Her Highness Amanda then spoke to the populace, firstly about the Blue Helm Tourney. In this form of combat, children wear foam helmets and fight with a foam sword. If it is legal – and She asked autocrats to check with the marshalls – then at each event Princess Amanda will have a Blue Helm Champion who will sit in Their Court. Secondly, Her Highness asked the populace to do at least one per event – cover their cooler, use a tankard instead of a bottle – one thing to make our events more enjoyable.

For the comfort of their populace, Their Highnesses called a ten minute recess.

Through the Grace of Their Majesties of An Tir, King Uther and Queen Angharad, Their Highnesses Ulf and Amanda presented Morgan Kidd with an Award of Arms.

Mistress Yrsa Kettilsdottir stepped down after serving the Principality as Arts & Sciences Minister. Viscountess Ksenia Einarsdottir was sworn in as Tir Righ’s new Arts & Sciences Minister.

On behalf of Jarla Kelinda Garrett who was unable to attend Investiture, Loreli McFlandry Garrett presented Their Highnesses with jewelry (pins and earrings) made by Vis- countess Kelinda Garrett for Their Highnesses to use as largesse.

The Shire of Shittimwoode presented Their Highnesses with a basket of gifts. Mistress Megan Althea of Glengariff presented Her Highness with a book.

Countess Melissa Kendal of Westmoreland came before Their Highnesses to speak of absent friends. In honour of Master Siegfriend the Immane, Her Excellency was wearing his purple overtunic and in honour of her father Sir Gerhard Kendal of Westmoreland Her Excellency wore a gold undertunic made by her mother Her Highness, and worn by her father. Countess Melissa raised her glass in mem- ory of Master Robbin Greybeard, Master Siegfried the Immane and Sir Gerhard Kendal of Westmoreland and the populace did join with her.

Baron Harold Devin of Waltham presented Their Highnesses with personalized Principality stationary, including notepaper, writing paper and business cards.

Ruava Finna Kettilsdottir and Lord Severin de Savage addressed the populace about the evening’s feast.

Thus ended the first court of Their Highnesses Ulf and Amanda, Prince and Princess of Tir Righ. Second Court of Their Highnesses Ulf and Amanda, Prince and Princess of Tir Righ

Tir Righ Winter Investiture November 20, 2005 being A.S. XL Shire of Danescombe

After victory in the Rapier Championship Lists, The Honourable Lord Enoch Jacobsz van Zuid- enland was called forth, swore upon the Blade of Tir Righ and was invested as the Scar of Tir Righ. His Lordship was presented with the cloak and sword of his position, and took his place in Their Highness' court.

Maestro Guidobaldo Marco Odo d'Aquila, after serving as the Scar of Tir Righ, stepped down from his post. Their Highnesses noted that Maestro Guidobaldo is already a Guardian of Tir Righ, and presented him with a gift in recognition of his service.

After serving as Principality Seneschal, Don Kieran Gunn stepped down and was thanked for his service by Their Highnesses. Her Ladyship Magdelena Kress was invested as the new Princi- pality Seneschale, and did swear fealty to the Storm Thrones.

His Lordship Edrik ap Pengam, Gamesmaster to Their Highnesses, spoke of the reign-long games tournament, and announced that the winner of the first installment was Mistress Megan Althea of Glengariff. The tournament prize for Cross & Pile was a basket of coins of the realm (chocolate chip cookies). His Lordship announced that the next installment of the games tournament would be at Lions Gate's Baroness' Tourney on 3.

Her Ladyship Tanikh bint Farida al Bakim spoke to the populace with Their Highness' permission. Her Ladyship is part of "Paramedics for Children" which is selling calendars to raise funds in support of villages, schools and orphanages in the Honduras.

Her Ladyship Genevieve Barbota of Gryphonshold asked Their Highnesses to address the populace. Her words were read by the Royal Herald Bernadette Ebhilin Ard. "This weekend has been an absolutely incredible experience for me. I have had an absolute nightmare of car problems which have cumulated in my not going home today. I have been shown in so many ways what an incredible group the members of the SCA really are. I have no words to express what I feel and thank you just does not come close but it really is all I have. So thank you. Thank you to all the people who helped with love, with rides, with crash space and with money. Thank you to all who cared and all who understood. You have all re-affirmed my love for this society and for you all. Thank you."

Members of the Royal Retinue who had not yet sworn fealty to Their Highnesses stepped forward to do so and were given their Retinue identi- fiers.

Ruava Finna Kettilsdottir, Principality Lists Minister, and her deputy Dominiqua Perreira, called forth Cordell Mac Beighn and recognized him for chivalry on the rapier field.

Her Highness Amanda spoke of a young lady, attending her first event, who impressed Her Highness with her courtesy. The young lady was identified as Ariel from Danescombe and Her Highness gifted her with a book, which was accepted by a representative from of Danescombe.

The autocrat, the Honourable Lord Enoch Jacobsz van Zuidenland, called forward and thanked the his autocrat team: Rouva Finna Kettilsdottir, Sevrin de Savage and Keinna Lady de Savage. His Lordship asked the populace to assist in the cleanup if they could, advised that a dagger was reported lost during the rapier tourney and asked the fighters to check their gear. Their Highnesses thanked the autocrat team for their hard work and presented them with gifts in recognition of their service.

Their Highnesses called forth His Lordship Duncan Darroch and thanked him for his auction efforts at the feast last evening, and advised that the dessert auction raised over $500 towards the Principality Travel Fund. Their Highnesses also thanked those who provided the desserts and those who bid so generously.

Thus ended the second court of Their Highnesses Ulf and Amanda, Prince and Princess of Tir Righ.

Greetings and le bon jour from your Bardic Champion.

It is with voice as instrument that I sail these dubiously charted waters of the Bardic Realm. Though I've never had formal training, I have sung from a young age, and have found in the SCA a new opportunity to revive my joy of singing.

I've been gathering a small collection of period French songs in the alluring Langue d'Oeil which are a rush to sing. At Coronet, it was Her Excellency Bernadette, the grinning German fiddler,(whose name regrettably eludes me) and myself, a lowly turn-of-the-15th century Frenchman from the small yet vital Shire of Cragmere, come to represent Tir Righ's bardic elite. It was as hearty as three good bards could make it. My principal presentation was a ceremonial period French song by that celebrated 15th Cent. master of the Burgundian school, Guillaume Dufay: "Le Serviteur Haut Guerdon- ner". A wonderful song, I had practiced it incessantly but, until Coronet, had not really found an ocasion to sing it. Perhaps we need to create more opportunities to sing and play period songs and music.

I call upon all bards, minstrels, storytellers, jugglers, troubadours and poets: hone thy artform, for Tir Righ is young, and needs our strength, our love, and our vitality. You have a gift - Share it! Charles le Verdier, your servant and champion of song

A story about the Stained Glass Brazier, the prize for the Crafts Contests held at Cragmere’s Winter Feast.

The Brazier was won by Lady Katrina Skye

Tired and weary from the Crusades I stopped at a middle-eastern village called Value. I soon discovered a market place filled with trinkets and plundered (I mean) gathered materials. Being a craftspersons of some degree I determined that by pur- chasing several bits I could combine them with some clever additions of my own to make new, more merchantable items. The Middle Eastern Brazier that created com- bines a copper dish in a fondue stand with a brass candy tray turned upside down and mounted on a ring of Stained Glass and Brass pierce work. The top piece can be removed and within the dish is a grate to allow a charcoal briquette or two or one or two tea lights. Even with the tea lights the heat on the inverted tray is sufficient to warm thy hands. As a nice addition, the tea lights through the stained glass provide a pretty light at your campsite.

Being the Report of the Court of Their Highnesses, Ulf and Amanda, Prince and Princess of Tir Righ. Court held on December 3, 2005 being AS XL at Baroness' Tourney in the Barony of Lions Gate.

The merchants at the event presented Their Highnesses with largesse, and Her Ladyship Genevieve Barbota of Gryphonshold did speak for them.

On behalf of King Skeggi and Queen Taisiia, Their Highnesses Ulf and Amanda invested Zelda of Jorvik into the Order of the Goutte de Sang.

Her Ladyship Genevieve Barbota of Gryphonshold, having received permission from Their Highnesses, called forth Gaelan Heafoc and did thank him publicly and present him with a gift for his assistance at Investiture.

Their Highnesses presented Their Majesties Uther and Angharad with gifts and thanks, and then did present Their Excellencies Harold Devin and Aurora, Baron and Baroness of Lions Gate, with gifts and thanks.

His Lordship Kenneth of Shaftesbury, accompanied by his wife, Her Ladyship Vivien of Shaftesbury, did present roses to Her Majesty and to Her Highness. His Lordship did then present Their Highnesses with drop spindles and lucets, which he had made for Their use as largesse.

Their Highnesses called forth the Autocrat, Lady Arianna Freemont, presenting her with hand-woven trim in ap- preciation of her hard work.

Thus ended the Court of Their Highnesses.

An addendum from the Gamesmaster, His Lordship Edrik ap Pegam . A "One in 30" games tourney was held as part of Their Highnesses' reign-long games tourney, and the winner was Kateryn.

Greetings, An Tir!

Our new Dexter Gauntlet Herald, Duchess Jacyntha Argentarius, has sent me to tell you about the latest addition to the An Tir OP site - awards listed by reign!

http://www.antirheralds.org/awards/OP/support/reigns/byreign.shtml

So what is this? This is a list of the awards given by each of the Crowns of An Tir and Coro- nets of the three Principalities. Every Kingdom award is listed for each of the 48 reigns of An Tir and each Principality award is listed for the 19 reigns of the Summits and Avacal and Tir Righ's 6 reigns.

Awards of Arms are listed under the Kingdom list regardless of if the Award of Arms was actually received di- rectly from the Crown or from a Coronet at the leave of the Crown.

And as always, please send all updates and corrections to [email protected] and please forward this message to any appropriate list!

We hope that this new service is of use and interesting to you! Please check it out today!

Greetings Tir Righ,

I would like to thank all of you who have provided support and advice on my new position as Seneschal for our fantastic Principality. I would like to thank Don Kieran Gunn for his service to Tir Righ and for staying on as my drop dead deputy.

A little info about myself, I have been in the SCA for about 12 years and been lucky to hold a variety of of- fices at a local level and when we were a Region, the Rapier Marshal for the North. I am looking forward to the next two years and working with everyone in making our Principality even stronger. We are still a new Principality and need every one's support to move forward.

We need event bids for Principality events in 2006 and ask that your Canton, Shire or Barony consider putting in an event bid. Remember without events, there is no Principality. If you want to discuss with me what is involved, please feel free to contact me, email is the best way to get the quickest response.

For all those hard working Seneschals out there, remember that you need to start pulling your information together for the next reporting period, - Feb 1 /06

Remember to maintain your branch and our Principality in good standing, reporting is essential.

In Service to An Tir and Tir Righ

Dame Magdelena Kress OWS
