Greetings, Lady Gróa:

The following awards were bestowed during Ulsted and Cateau's final 
court:

Ivan of Hightower: Sable Falcon
Mahee of Acre: King's Gauntlet
Bowen Scheurer: King's Gauntlet
Godwin of Edington: King's Gauntlet
Nessa the Obstreperous: Queen's Glove
Alexis la Bouche: Lion of Ansteorra

The following awards were bestowed during Miguel and Conal's coronation 
court:

Ulsted the Unsteady: Earl
Cateau d'Ardennes: Countess
Alaric Drake: King's Champion

Countess Sarah came into court to present Earl Drake with a scroll, 
made by her hand, for King's Champion. After she presented the scroll 
and Earl Drake took his place behind the thrones, but before she could 
leave the stage, Master Modius told her she was the love of his life, 
took a knee before her, and presented her with an engagement ring. 
Speechless, and weeping with joy, she allowed him to place the ring on 
her left hand.

King Miguel wisely released Modius from his duties, immediately, so 
that he could escort his fiancé from the stage. Then, displaying 
further wisdom, His Majesty realized that he couldn't possibly follow 
that, and closed court. :-)

Yours,
Michael Silverhands
