I may be somewhat biased, but when Mistress Gunnora Hallakarva, recieved
her Laurel, it was done by having Ragnar Ulfgarsson bring suit against
the Crown of Ansteorra for not having done it before.  Sir Kiev av
Kierstead spoke in her behalf for the belted circle.  He extemporized an
alliterative poem that made everyone's heart swell.  It was done this
way  because Gunnora is a viking, and the most comman kind of
interaction between a viking and a King would have been a law suit.  It
was most memorable to me now because both the late Master Ragnar (who
brought the suit) and the late Mistress Caitlin were there.
