[Ansteorra] 1 May 37 AS

[Marc Carlson]

I believe (and all the official documents seem to back this up) the Party
began year 1 (or would have had they been counting  the years at that time -
the formal AS system started IIRC AS 3 or so).  Therefore this is the first
day of the new year, AS 37.
====================================
Some years ago I started doing historical research on a number of things -
some of this research has been seen before, some has not.  Since A lot of
the stuff I was doing on the history of the SCA was being done elsewhere, I
set it aside (so little time, so much to study).  However there were a few
details that you might find interesting:

The Flyer:

Be it known to all
who may be lovers of
Chivalry
that there will be held on the first of May
12:00 to 6:00 pm
an
International Tournament
-- for that it is Spring.

All knights are summoned to defend in single combat the claims of
their ladies to the title of fairest, signified by the crown which will
be awarded to him who the judges deem fights most bravely.  And for
the increase of joy to both them who fight and they who watch, there will be
both singing, and dance.

(please reply):
2219 Oregon St.,
Berkeley, Calif.
845-4340

All guests are encouraged to
wear the of some age
of Christendom, Outre-Mer,
or Faerie, in which swords were
used.
