Honorable Lady Calena di Rosa Nero has been a fantastic and steadfast supporter of our group for as long as has been allowed under Kingdom law, so it is time for the reins to be passed and her tenure to begin anew as our Hospitaler. With her experience and knowledge, I’ll have ample guidance for this transition. In my letter of intent to the Kingdom Seneschal, I stated that the main goal for my time as your Seneschal will be revitalization and growth. We’ve had some new members move into our shire from outlying lands, and some new faces have yet to be seen due to pandemic restrictions. This is the basis for maintaining and strengthening not only our group status, but also our camaraderie. The more people we have that are interested in the same activities and topics, the stronger our unity becomes, and the easier it will be to work together towards common goals. For example, a year ago the Shire didn’t have thrown weapons, but now there’s enough interest to be able to hold practices with multiple people in attendance (when we’re allowed.) I’d like to see the same with chivalric fighting, herbalism, Middle Eastern dance, and any and all other activities for which we have interested persons, but currently no outlet. Revitalization and growth comes about with bringing existing members together and with recruiting new members. Those who have been with us for an extended time bring wisdom, experience, knowledge, and expertise, while new members will bring fresh ideas and infectious enthusiasm. I’ve been in contact with His Excellency Owen Ap Aeddan of Mooneschadowe to provide future consultation regarding member recruitment and retention with a workshop once the restrictions are lifted. I’d also like to talk about local area demos and a collections drive for loaner armor, weapons, and garb for all these potential/probable newcomers. These topics will be brought up in future populace meetings, but I want to mention it now so thoughts and ideas could begin to percolate. All in all, we have huge potential, and I’m very much looking forward to cheering you all along with each endeavor, every success, and I know whole-heartedly that great things are on the horizon. Thank you so much for everything you do! Yours in Gracious Service, Meg Sterling 6 From the Minister of Arts & Sciences: Lady Stormig to the Populace of the Shire-- her greetings and blessing, It is my most fervent hope that this missive finds you all in great health and possessed of the will to continue forward even as we face these dark days of winter that have most recently been plagued with a surfeit of troubles. Despite the tribulations of February we did have one excellent Zoom class taught by Lord Gird Truthsayer in which he introduced us to a wide variety of carving tools and implements both modern and historical. Most fascinating to this listener was learning that bull shark hide was used as sandpaper. As the Equinox draws near and the sun returns from her slumber we can look forward to further classes covering such topics as Bone Needle Use Physics and Basics of SC A Heraldry. It is heartening to see so many in our Shire remaining engaged in the learning, practicum, and sharing of Medieval and Renaissance life despite the continuation of the Plague. Mayhap as the wheel of the year continues to turn we will be permitted for companionable Arts and Science diversions. YIS, Stormig av Sandkrok (Greeting based upon a letter from Stephen, Count of Blois and Chartres to his wife, Adele, during the 1st Crusade. http://www.dragonbear.com/letters.html) From the Chronicler: Because we know that you especially desire to hear from us and to learn the state of our prosperity, we think it fitting to first tell you of this. We continue to receive submissions for our ongoing Pearl Anniversary Celebration! Baroness Zubeydah has forwarded images of over a dozen event ads from archived issues of The Black Star which Tobias and I reviewed in order to glean history for our “String of Events” ! I am actively seeking a deputy who is interested in learning the ins and outs of this office with plans of (hopefully) applying for the position when it comes open later in the year. If you are at all interested in potentially becoming our local Chronicler, please reach out to me. NOTE: Agreeing to be a deputy is not a conscription to future service. You will still have to apply for the position when it comes open should you choose to. In Honoured Service, Jessimond of Emerickeskepe (Opening line from a public letter from Conrad II to the Abbot of Corvey during the German’s Crusade in 1148 CE. http://www.dragonbear.com/letters.html) 7 fficer Reports (continued) From the Herald: To mine well-beloved Shire I do greet you all with the bright hope that you have each weathered winter’s recent storms with no lasting ill-effects. On the 21st of March I will be teaching my second Rosenfeld Virtual A & S class. This one will be on the Basics of SCA Heraldry. This will be a two-part class with the first half being an overview of the various aspects of heraldry in the SCA. The second half will be geared towards members who might be thinking of designing their device and/or badge wherein I shall be reviewing the basic rules of heraldry in the SCA. As always, if anyone is interested in submitting personal heraldry, (names, device/arms, or badges) I am happy to assist you in any way that I can. I volunteered for the recent Virtual Herald’s Point project where I gained experience in both name and armory consults. I also had the pleasure to make contact with Heralds across the Known World to whom I can contact should I need assistance so that I may better serve you.

  • Shadow Kingdom: Lotharingia and the Frankish World, C.850-C.1050 1. Introduction Like Any Family, the Carolingian Dynasty Which
    1 Shadow Kingdom: Lotharingia and the Frankish World, c.850-c.1050 1. Introduction Like any family, the Carolingian dynasty which ruled continental Western Europe from the mid-eighth century until the end of the ninth had its black sheep. Lothar II (855-69) was perhaps the most tragic example. A great-grandson of the famous emperor Charlemagne, he belonged to a populous generation of the family which ruled the Frankish empire after it was divided into three kingdoms – east, west and middle – by the Treaty of Verdun in 843. In 855 Lothar inherited the northern third of the Middle Kingdom, roughly comprising territories between the Meuse and the Rhine, and seemed well placed to establish himself as a father to the next generation of Carolingians. But his line was not to prosper. Early in his reign he had married a noblewoman called Theutberga in order to make an alliance with her family, but a few childless years later attempted to divorce her in order to marry a former lover called Waldrada by whom he already had a son. This was to be Lothar’s downfall, as his uncles Charles the Bald and Louis the German, kings respectively of west and east Francia, enlisted the help of Pope Nicholas I in order to keep him married and childless, and thus render his kingdom vulnerable to their ambitions. In this they were ultimately successful – by the time he died in 869, aged only 34, Lothar’s divorce had become a full-blown imperial drama played out through an exhausting cycle of litigation and posturing which dominated Frankish politics throughout the 860s.1 In the absence of a legitimate heir to take it over, his kingdom was divided between those of his uncles – and with the exception of a short period in the 890s, it never truly existed again as an independent kingdom.

As the kingdom of France consolidated and royal authority was extended, political power became centered in the person of the king and his bureaucratic advisers. One consequence was the decline or once powerful members of the feudal aristocracy and the queen. In the time of the early Capetians, the queen had been a true partner in power with the king, traveling with him and sharing the same household. But by 1500, she was excluded from power and participation in government, and her intimacy with the ld.ng was undermined by the formation of a separate household. By the thirteenth century the governmental functions of the queen were ceremonial, decorative, or sym­ bolic. Thus it was only under extraordinary circumstances that a queen could gain independent political power, and such was the fate of Isabeau of Bavaria. When she married Charles VI, ld.ng or France, in 1385, he was under a regency controlled by four dukes, but in three years Charles asserted his sole authority by releasing them.

  • The Fall of the Carolingian Empire the Germanic Tribe Known As The
    The Fall of the Carolingian Empire The Germanic tribe known as the Franks established and ruled the Frankish Empire from the fifth through the tenth century in the ancient territory of Gaul (encompassing portions of modern-day France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, and the Netherlands). The Carolingian Empire refers to the rule of the Carolingian dynasty, which ruled the Frankish Empire during the Early Middle Ages from 800 to 888 CE. During its period of domination the Frankish Empire, spanning parts of present-day France and Germany, had two monastic dynasties, the Carolingian being the second and most influential one. The Carolingian Empire ruled the Frankish state in one form or another through the early tenth century. The Frankish Empire under the rule of the Carolingian dynasty was one of the most powerful empires in Western Europe during the Early Middle Ages. Today the Carolingian Empire is considered to be the precursor to the modern states of France and Germany, as well as the historical forerunner to the Holy Roman Empire. Pepin the Short’s ascendency to the Crown and appointment as king of the Franks in the middle of the eighth century launched the beginning of the Carolingian dynasty. The Carolingian family came to power following the Battle of Tours in 732. The battle was fought between the Frankish and neighboring Burgundian forces against the Muslims. The Franks were victorious, successfully fending off the Muslims and preventing them from advancing further into Europe. The victory at the Battle of Tours was one of the integral factors leading to the rise of the Carolingian dynasty and the creation of Carolingian Empire.

Especially the “Wiener Pfennigs”. Other issues are listed under the various cities , bishoprics or provinces. The March of Austria was first formed in 976 out of the lands that had once been the March of Pannonia in Carolingian times. In 1156, the Privilegium Minus elevated the march to a Duchy independent of the Duchy of Bavaria. LEOPOLD I - 976-994 Leopold I, also Luitpold or Liutpold (died 994) was the first Margrave of Austria from the Babenberg dynasty. Leopold was a count in the Bavarian Danube district and first appears in documents from the 960s as a faithful follower of Emperor Otto I the Great. After the insurgence by Henry II the Wrangler of Bavaria in 976 against Emperor Otto II, he was appointed as "margrave in the East", the core territory of modern Austria, instead of a Burkhard. His residence was proba- bly at Pöchlarn, but maybe already Melk, where his successors resided. The territory, which originally had only coincided with the modern Wachau, was enlarged in the east at least as far as the Wienerwald. He died at Würzburg. The millennial anniversary of his appointment as margrave was celebrated as Thousand years of Austria in 1976. Celebrations under the same title were held twenty years later at the anniversary of the famous Ostarrîchi document first mentioning the Old German name of Austria.
