Many members assisted with the crowd, explaining the SCA and what we do, as well as what the fighting was as it was going on. The fighting was almost non stop both days. The fighters from both shires fought well and truly showed what chivalry and courtesy were. We did some dancing but the crowd was definitely mesmerized with the fighting. The fighters engaged in single combat, a bear pit, and melees.

From Their Royal Highnesses
Talewinds, Feb A.S. XXVI. Unto all the people of the Kingdom of Trimaris these greetings from Their Royal Highnesses Huan Artur and Enriqueta. “Quod omnes tangit ab omnibus approbetur”
We have received these words from across the Great Sea, through travelers in the English country, who are quoting from the Writs of Summons as issued in the year 1295 by Edward I, King of England, when he called his barons, knights, burgesses, townsfolk and various churchmen to attend the meeting of his Model Parliament . The words mean: ” Let that which toucheth all be approved by all.” So began the institution of the people’s representation in their government.
We liked well that King’s idea, and so we too shall establish a Parliament in our Kingdom of Trimaris to be in existence only for the duration of our reign. Such is our decision that it will not be enacted as Law in the Kingdom, but shall be our Whim and Custom. However, should future monarchs wish to continue the custom, so be it.
There shall be two houses of Parliament: The House of Lords (being the Peerage, Territorial Baronage and Royal Peers), and the House of Commons (being members chosen from and by each Shire, Canton, Barony, et cetera). As for the latter: each Shire, Canton, Stronghold, et cetera shall choose two of its people to speak for its group in the Parliament. Each Barony shall choose three of its members to serve. Further, the members of each House will elect one member to serve as speaker, and he or she will establish the rules and protocol used in that House.
The voice of the Parliament will echo that of the people of Trimaris, in that debatable issues may be argued, opinions may be offered to the Crown, new ideas may be discussed, et cetera. The latitude of this format can be developed as the Parliament is used. For instance: The Crown may itself pose questions to the Parliament for their consideration, opinion, advice or amusement.
It is our intention that Parliament may be used successfully as a forum for the people, and that it also must be not so serious taken as to be without levity from time to time. (Let’s have some fun, too!)
We shall hope to call for three meetings of Parliament during the reign, with dates announced in advance. The first shall be at our Coronation, whereat we will pose a few questions to get things rolling. Therefore, between now and then, all groups should decide on their House of Commons members, determine any questions to be brought to the Parliament session, and/or contact us for further clarification. If we may paraphrase and old, well-worn maxim, we shall say. “Just remember: The King’s Word is Law, and the Parliament’s word is greatly appreciated”

Demo
2-3-92, the Barony of An Crosaire presented a demo for Lincoln Middle School. There were talks on Life in a Castle, clothing, armor, weapons and there was a short fighting demo. The classes were studying castles and castle life.

Demo
On 2-5-92, the Shire of Castlemere participated in Riverside Elementary’s Medieval Lunch time. Four members of the Shire attended, adding color and answering questions about medieval life & the SCA.

Estrella War VIII
Talewinds, Jan A.S. XXVI, 2-14/17-92 at Estrella Mountain Park in Goodyear, Arizona.

Bash The Bard
Talewinds, Jan A.S. XXVI. 2-15-92, Sangre del Sol invites you to Bash the Bard, at the First Sword of the Paludine Lyst. Help us knock Billy Shakespeare right off his pedestal. The event will feature the traditional First Sword Lyst, to determine the champion of the Paludine Confederation – followed up by a little war. The forces of good and evil, represented by Macduff and Macbeth, will once more fight over the throne of Scotland, but this time they won’t be following a script – Macbeth just might win this one! The winner will reign at that night’s Scott’s Feast, to be provided with the help of a little witchcraft in the kitchen.
For the peacefully inclined, we offer a various diversions, including: Town Ball – a sport for all ages. The Painted Pict Contest – you can do this until you are blue in the face. A bollixed Bardic competition ranging from the dramatic to the absurd – painful puns are at a premium. Sangre’s answer to Shakespear – the performance of a play devised, written and performed by local talent. Games for the children and classes for adults – and vice versa. The site is the Union Congregationalist Church. Autocrat: Sanchia the Sly, Feastcrat: Lady Glynis merch Llywelyn (Talisman).
Ian of Ben Dubh won the First Sword of the Paludine lyst, which was a bastard sword tourney. It was the second time in two years he won the lyst. His prize was a double headed axe. Iain Grant won the First Blood lyst against a relatively crowded field. His prize was the traditional rattan from which to make his own weapons. The melees were to be a reprise of the final battle before Dunsinane, and there was no change in the plot. The army of Macduff just slaughtered Macbeth and company. HL Alexander Mareschal was the clear winner of the Bollixed Bardic Shakespeare contest Since the prize was the complete works of Shakespeare, which he already had, he yielded to the second place winner, Jen Smith.
The children participated in the Town Ball game, which was sort of medieval football in which one of the rules was there are no rules. The Painted Pict Contest got lost in the chaos, but a special mention should go to Lady Giovanna di Piacenza of Southkeep, whose face painting was a work of art. We had at least 100 people at the Hallandale site and we also made money on the event.

Hoggetowne Medieval Faire
On 2-21/23-92, the Barony of An Crosaire participated in the City of Gainesville’s annual Medieval Faire. This is a three day faire with an actual lyst each day. We have regular Marshals to run the lysts, but we also try to have someone available to explain what is going on to the audience. Fridays are for the school children and they are bused in from schools in Alachua County as well as the surrounding counties. It is estimated that we had 8,000 children and adults on Friday alone. The Barony has a large display area comprising of three huge tents in which we have a static display and areas for craftsmen to demonstrate their particular craft. There were several on-going demonstrations of illumination, embroidery, chain making, etc during the weekend. We also had a Viking tent set up with a tripod and pot outside over a camp fire, where we cooked our lunch soup. We always have people trying to buy our soup.

Demos
On 2-22-92, the Barony of Darkwater presented a demo for the Cub Scout Blue & Gold banquet at Pinar Elementary School. We provided advice and assisted in planning activities that the children could do. We provided a display of arts and sciences. We mingled through the crowd in garb, speaking forsoothly. We provided a brief fighting demo and allowed the boys to hold and try on helms, etc. We assisted in crowning their Queen for the night and shared a meal with them.

On 2-23-92, The Barony of Darkwater held a demo for the Cub Scout Blue & Gold banquet at Ventura Elementary School. We provided assistance in planning their menu, decorations and garb for the boys. We met with them twice prior to the demo to facilitate this. We gave short classes at the demo on favors, a lady’s garb, armor and fighting. A staged fight was given and the boys were allowed to try the weapons and armor. We also had a display of art and science items.

On 2-18 & 2-25-92, one member of the Barony assisted a teacher for gifted children at Apopka Middle School by holding a class discussion of the middle ages.

Demo
On 2-22-92, the Shire of Brineside Moor presented a fibre arts demo for the Suncoast girl scouts at the Manatee Village Historical Park.

Demo

Demo
On 3-2/4-92, Lord Justin and Ophelia, of the Shire of Brineside Moor, provided week long series of classes at Palmetto Elementary school on the people and crafts of the middle ages prior to escorting children to the Ringling Medieval Faire. Children surveyed history from 1000 to 1400 B.C. children’s life. They were given hands on instruction in calligraphy/illumination, basic costuming, and singing. The classes were well received and the teachers seemed to be interested/inquisitive about continuing to use living history in the class room as part of their curricula.

Talewinds, March A.S. XXVI From Their Royal Highnesses
Comes now this notice and advice of the topics offered for your deliberation, debate and determination during the first meeting of Parliament, to be held on Sunday morning, the 8th day of March in the current year. We shall sit in attendance during the meeting and shall remain aloof unless invited to respond directly to your inquiries. We pray you consider well the topics at hand, that you plan your arguments and rebuttals concisely so as to allow time for many voices to be heard.
Topic: The Blefuscuvian Heresy
A puny contingent of Blefuscuvian populace (best described as a very small-framed people, with large hooked noses, and who speak with a pronounced sibilant accent) has infiltrated remote shores of our Kingdom and has imposed upon certain of our citizens the peculiar habit of breaking (or cutting) their eggs from the large end. This practice is considered abhorrent to many among us, but is rapidly being adopted as a stylish affection by others of us, including Her Royal Highness Enriqueta. It is thus our desire to know the minds of our Members of Parliament as to the true Trimarian preference in the manner of breaking (or cutting) eggs.
Topic: Arts & Sciences – Scrolls or Scholars
It has been much in our minds that perhaps we have overlooked the important aspect of learning from our “mistakes” in the pieces we present for competition in the Art/Sci Faires: that we may be over-concerned with the points and scrolls gleaned from our competitions. It seems that many folk are desirous of more practical criticism, with better emphasis on teaching and learning. Many incomplete ideas have floated around of late, with no concrete alternatives being formulated; but to, there are staunch proponents of the status quo. We have heard that entry categories have become to esoteric to be completely judged, and that judging itself lacks quality by the end of a long, harried day. We seek the people’s opinions, at an initial level, through this Parliament, and would greatly value thoughtful and amicable suggestions.
We thank you in advance for your considerable study of these two problems as you come to this first meeting of Parliament. It may not be possible to solve these issues in one meeting; if it becomes your recommendation to remand the topic(s) to another meeting, or to a different kind of forum of the people, let us agree to do so.
In service to Trimaris, Huan Artur & Enriqueta

Shadek, Hettar and Therion displayed their fighting skills to the delight of the children present, who were later introduced to boffer weapons. The only complaint came from the dancers who felt they did not get enough time for dancing. A large crowd was drawn on both days and the Shire received many favorable comments from both the spectators and the Images Officials.

Demo
On 3-14/15-92 the Shire of Sangre del Sol, with assistance from members of Sea March and Southkeep again took part in the Irish Cultural Institute’s Irish Festival, this time for St. Patrick’s Day. Saturdays weather was not the best, but Sunday the weather was a lot more cooperative and there were more spectators. Again the fighters were the big draw and a great crowd pleaser. Mistress Geta and Mistress Cara came out with their looms and did weaving.
St Valentine’s
Talewinds, Feb A.S. XXVI. 3-21/23-92, The Barony of An Crosaire presents the Annual St. Valentine’s Day Massacre (ok! So it’s a month and a half later, work with us) at Camp Oleno.

The event was beautifully done. The outside pavilion was decorated with swags and arrays of fresh flowers and silky banners. The weather was perfect. Although the site was small everyone said they had a wonderful time. The only complaint was there were not enough ribbons on the Maypole for the number of people who wanted to dance.

Demo
On 3-25-92, Lady Victoria Fox and Lord Annan nam Beantam, of the Shire of Brineside Moor, gave a basic overview of the SCA and the Middle Ages to 15-20 Special Education students at Sarasota’s Bayhaven School. Students learned using a hands on teaching methods. Fibre arts, arms and armor, and basket weaving were among the subjects talked about. This demo was at the request of a new member, and may be repeated several times. The hands on approach seems to work well, especially when children can take a finished project home.

Demo
On 3-27-92, Lord Justin, of the Shire of Brineside Moor, gave a one day demo to the 3rd graders at Palmetto Elementary school. It was the same material, on a more basic level, as the 3/2 & 3/4 demos.

Demo
On 3-29-92, The Shire of Brineside Moor presented a large demo held in conjunction with the Desota Landing Re-enactment at the Desoto National Memorial, in which 2000-2500 people attended. Our group had two main roles – portraying living history characters I the pre-landing play regarding the history of the Desoto Expedition and providing ongoing demonstrations of medieval crafts. The crafts went very well, although it appeared that it needed a separate coordinator to organize and bring individuals to teach. Spinning, weaving, carding and basket weaving were demonstrated. There was a large display of medieval pottery and a general display of SCA crafts. It was suggested that a pottery demonstration would have been a good addition to the event. Overall, an expanded display would offer more individuals a chance to learn and ask questions. Special notice should be given to the numerous individuals from outside our shire who participated in making this demo work.

Demo
On 4-4-92, the Shire of Gleann Dubh participated in the 4th of July Parade held by the City of Edgewater. We constructed a castle float (Dieter constructed the castle almost single handedly).

Kingdom Seneschal’s Report
From Master Erik of Telemark, Kingdom Seneschal of Trimaris, 4-24-92, First Quarterly Report
Status of local groups:
Ac Scrin = Reported only problem to be a lack of anyone to take over when warrant expires. Arven Atwater has requested to have his warrant extended. I am considering extending for 1 year or until a suitable replacement can be found. Ac Scrin reported good activity levels, two upcoming events in the remainder of the year and two school demos held in February which included fighting, static displays in armor and clothing as well as a lecture on the history and effect of “The Plague.”
Amyergorod = Reported still having a problem re-energizing the group after the change in Seneschals in January. Sean Callahan reports new people are coming in but older members still show signs of burn out. Amyergorod has one event planned for September and vague plans for a demo in the second quarter this year.
An Crosaire = An Crosaire had a change in Barons in March. Lady Natasha reports new energies are being seen all across the Barony. The Barony has held numerous workshops dealing with everything from costuming to persona development. The Barony hosted two events (one Baronial Investiture) both were good and successful events. Four local demos were held targeting mostly children and interests in the life of Knights and Ladies in medieval castles. The barony was also a major contractor with the Hoggetowne Medieval Faire hosted by the City of Gainesville. The Barony presented several static displays ranging from armor to illumination as well as working displays of fighting, armor making, embroidery and illumination. The highlight of the demo, for the children, was a living history Viking campsite where the women cooked a lunch soup on site. An Crosaire’s meetings rotate weekly from formal courts to social and guild meetings, to workships and finally business meetings. If there is a fifth meeting in a month they use it as a special event such as a practice arts/sci competition with judges and comment sheets. The above meeting iteas may be of use to other groups.
Blackthorne = Seneschal Ld. Hrothgar Thorsson contacted by phone on 4-21-92, stated that he had resigned and turned over the files and report over to Mistress Elspeth McNaughton at Coronation. No report received this quarter.
Brineside Moor = The shire has 4 ongoing classes: ceramics, heraldry, stained glass, music. Each is held approx once a week (events permitting). Additionally several workshops have been held to prepare for the two major demo’s of the year, Desoto Landing and Columbus 500 Celebration. Brineside Moor is planning on two events yet this year: August Collegium, Canterbury Tales. The shire also intends ton being a major player in the Columbus 500 Celebration. Brinside held 6 smaller demos this quarter centering around crafts, daily life in the middle ages, fibre arts, Hernando Desoto, Columbus. Brineside Moor hosted Winter Arts/Sci in January which went off very well. Lady Shula bint Shageeqa reports that the only problem stems from the activity level of the household she belongs to and the fact that some members of the shire feel that since they are not in this household they are “on the outside” in her shire since the household is based in the shire.
Castlemere = Castlemere’s workshops included feasting, leather shoes, basic garb, fabric selection. The group has been selected to host Summer Art/Sci. The Shire participated in 3 demos in which the members added to the medieval flavor of a school event. Zubayda von Drachonberg reports the only problem as growing so fast she feels a bit overwhelmed.
Crystal Moor Laurel Fairhair phoned this office stating that she had turned over the office to her replacement deputy and he would be sending me the intro forms and report soon.
Darkwater = Darkwater has on going classes in costuming, leather work, embroidery each held by their respective guild. The Barony has held on event this quarter, Trident Tourney. The have calendared 4 local events in the remainder of the year and have been chosen to host TMT in May. Darkwater held 4 demos during the quarter. Two cub scout Blue and Gold banquets and two school demo/medieval fairs.
Fiach Ogan = The Shire is finishing up the reorganization they started in January. Sir Erin Breck Gordon reports moderate activity and new growth in the group. This first report has been most encouraging.
Gleann Dubh = Gleann Dubh reports moderate activity with 2 meetings each month and 1-2 workshops each month ranging from chain mail to dancing. Rowan of Shadow Wood reports one demo consisting of fighting and craft displays.
Glymmerholde = Brewster Hartswood has resigned as Seneschal of Glymmerholde and Lady Gwenna O’ Swansea has agreed to take over for one year or until another replacement can be found. Glymmerholde has calendared an event for July this year.
Loch Gryffyn = Lady Cordelia Scrivens has graciously agreed to reorganize the Shire which is going on voluntary probation for six months. During this time this office will be working very closely with the shire as most of the officers are younger members.
Los Castillos de Oro = Mikaelle reports much activity: classes, two local events, feasts, bardic competitions. She also lists three upcoming events in the remainder of the year. The stronghold shows an interest in archery, dancing and arts/sci in general. Members of Lost Castillos de Oro are working very closely with the local Scouts as far as demos and classes go. Because of the restrictions on base the group has not been able to establish a bank account.
Mathom Trove = Mathom Trove continues to host the Norrey College of Arms in their area. There is a plan to host a fencing symposium in the fall.
Narval Dorado = The shire held a class in Archery and a class in Art/Sci documentation. There are plans for an event on June 27th called Midsummer’s Revel. Several members assisted Shire Storm in the Bay Area Ren Fair demo which concentrated on fighting and crafts.
Peregrine Springs = The shire held two demos of their own this quarter concentrating mostly on fighting and static arts/sci displays. The also assisted other neighboring groups in their demos.
Ruins = Feargus MacBrus reports moderate activity. One revel held this quarter and two demos (one school and one library demo).
Sangre del Sol = Sangre has two ongoing classes at this time, armoring and fighter practice. They plan on assisting with the “Lions and Tigers and Sheep Oh My!” event in May. Their “Bash the Bard” event was a moderate success and earned some funds for the group. Lady Glynis Merch Llywelyn reports many demos locally including two held during Irish Festivals held in her area. Among her ideas for consideration is an emergency phone list as some of her members had some car trouble on the way home from Coronation. There are three sources for this: first the Talewinds always carries the most current Seneschal listing with the mundane county/city names included; second is the Trimarian Rolls Royal available through Lord Thomas for a small fee. Although this list is not sorted by area (it is an alphabetical listing) it does give a more comprehensive listing of phone numbers; third is what I affectionately call “my brain”. I have a notebook which has all the contact numbers I have accumulated over time. I would suggest that each Seneschal start carrying a “brain” of their own. They are invaluable for quick reference information.
Sea March = The shire has been very busy with numerous Art/Sci oriented classes and five demos ranging from assisting Sangre del Sol with he Irish Festivals to school demos where active crafts displays and fighting demos were a great success. Sea March is hosting “Lions and Tigers and Sheep Oh My!” in May at the KOA camp across from Lion Country Safari in West Palm Beach.
South Keep = South Keep held classes in heraldry, Art/Sci and Poetry. Their 12th Night revel was the most successful in the last 3 years. They are planning an area event in September.
Starhaven = Starhaven hosted a successful War College in January and has plans for an event in May called Trial by Fire. The shire held a feast/demo for a local Methodist Church and received varying amounts of interest and appreciation.
Storm = Lady Carmela reports an interesting collection of classes starting with “how to Teach a Class”, period firearms, kingdom banner workshops and shoemaking. The shire hosted a 12th Night Revel at a new site, Boyd Hill Nature Park , where the group will be hosting a Pensic Boot Camp for the purpose of raising funds for the Royal Fund and Pensic display. The Shire’s demo activity centered around the SCA’ booth at the Bay Area Renaissance Festival held for 6 consecutive weekends in the Spring. Area groups contributed to a wonderful set of live and static craft displays as well as a full weekend devoted to SCA style combat.
Swampkeype = Lady Elizabeth Pembrooke reported holding a “Not So New Newcomer’s” class and plans for an event in June called Swampthing II. Swampkeype held their annual demo at Denn John School. They also worked with the local Boy Scouts and their annual Blue and Gold Banquet. Demo plans are continuing. Lady Elizabeth has found a unique solution tot he problem with minors and alcohol. They made the minor in question deputy to the Constable so he would not be so bored in the future.
Vaca del Mar = The majority of the shire’s activity centered around two demo’s; the New Smyrna Beach Art Festival and the Deland Art Festival. They also held classes for newcomers, weaving classes and historical survey classes.
Wyvernwood = The Barony has come to life. They held three workshops on construction of Markland arrows, as well as a class on period underwear and a newcomer’s class. Lady Melisande Aubrey d’Anjou boasts some 8 demos this quarter centering around the Boy Scouts and local schools. Wyvernwood’s demos all incorporate lectures, videos, fighting and costuming displays and discussions. Several demos also added live crafts displays when possible. Wyvernwood also participated in the WUSF (educational TV channel) fund-raising/telethon this April. Several members of the Barony also spoke in the South Eastern Theater Conference (SETC92) in Orlando. Wyvernwood hosted a very successful Spring Coronation 1992. The Barony also plans to hold their annual Baronial Bash XX in late October. Lady Melisandre’s only stated problems seem to be getting her report lost in the IRS panic and the state of the files she inherited from her predecessor.
