ANST - The Butterfly War

[Mark.S Harris]

Back in October, Afrean O'Dunlaing asked:

>So, then for what reason was the great Butterfly and Wildflower
>War...Uhh...Hunt held??

And Bear briefly described some of this event:

Alexandra and Bjorn were assassinated (at least for the event) and
Gwyneth wound up with title to both Bjornsborg and Namron.  These
assassinations had been carefully brokered to achieve this specific
effect as a springboard to another local conflict.  Unfortunately, at
least one gentle, not realizing this was part of the Byzantine
atmosphere took it upon himself to take out HRM Jan and failed.  This
lead to an inquiry into the assassinations at court.

It was one of the more memorable events in which I participated.

Baron Jeremy was, shall we say, intimately connected with some of these
goings-on and related his viewpoint in a rather funny story last year.

This story and others have now been incorporated in the updated
version of my Ansteorran history file:
Anst-hist-msg     (97K) 11/ 3/97    Histories of the Kingdom of Ansteorra.

This updated file is now available in the SCA-STORIES section of
