[Ansteorra] Kingdom of Lochac

[Burke McCrory]

This was posted to the SCA wide Pelicans list and I thought all would like
to see it.

>Good Gentles All -
>
>I take pride in telling you that the Kingdom of Lochac came into existence
>this weekend past (July 6th) and the King Alfar and Queen Elspeth proudly
>lead us as we join the other Laurel Kingdoms of the Known World.
>
>An emotional (and long) Court saw King Jade and Queen Megan of the West
>release the Peerages from their oaths of fealty, take back the coronets of
>the landed Barons and Baroness of Lochac, and finally Prince Gawain and
>Princess Yve, last of their lineage, handed back to Their Majesties the
>lands of Lochac. Then Jade and Megan, King and Queen of the West, Prince
>and Princess of Lochac and holders of all the lands of Lochac made Their
>way from the hall for the final time as our undoubted King and Queen in an
>emotion filled procession.
>
>Later that day Jade and Megan proclaimed the Kingdom of Lochac, witnessed
>by Their Majesties of Ansteorra and the Society Seneschal and Crown Sir Alfar
>of Attica as first King of Lochac. King Alfar then Crowned his lady Elspeth
>as Queen of Lochac, gave back the coronets and lands to the Barons and
>Baroness, and took fealty form the Peers of the new Kingdom. As well,
>those of us Peers of Lochac who so wished we able to swear fealty and
>friendship back to the West Kingdom. A wonderful touch as many of us had
>been in a great dilemma over this. The oath is in all ways subservient to
>our fealty to Lochac and in no way sets up any form of conflict.
>
>The next day the first Peer of Lochac was created - a Laurel, Master
>Llewellyn(sp) formally of Caid (New Zealand, unsure which group). The first
>Pelican of Lochac will be created in several months in his home group.
