Stefan this has not happend in YEARS, about 10 or so I believe but my memory is
shabby.  There have been many knights made before they have won crown tourney since
that time.

I have seen ceremonies for all three peerages of late and I dont know if it is
required for each peerage to speak up or if it is a courtesy thing.  I am not into the
law part of the SCA but I know it looks great to have that done in the ceremony.  My
favorite ceremony was Duchess Alisha's knighting, when all of the assembled Laurels at
Steppes stood behind her to speak for her.  This was a spectacular site to see the
support of another peerage group stand so strong together for someone they thought
deserving.
