Plus another 8 youths who vied for the title of the Queen's Hope. This
was won by Joseph MacClennan, son of (undoubtedly proud) parents Don
Ericus and Baroness Amber Lea.

Age hasn't taken your memory, except that it was a 3-way round robin
fought by Don Aaron, Don Brendan, and Lord Alessandro (Cadet to Don
Aaron). The field was *extremely* tough, with such contenders as Don
Modius, Count Miguel, Don Robert, Don Thorland O'Shea, and several
others of the kingdom's "top blades". Many of the toughest competitors
happened to draw the same field by random chance, which came to be
known as "The Sable Field of Death". Yet, even against such
competition, Lord Alessandro prevailed to the very end. His lady seemed
extremely proud of him, as were we all; the more so given that she had
just accepted his proposal of marriage. :-)

And Her Stellar Majesty Cateau bestowed the Queen's Blade of Honor to
Don Tivar, one of the premier voices and driving hearts behind the
creation of the Order of the White Scarf.
