I think my favorite event was Protectorate 2004, the first event my husband
and I attended after the accident that put him in a wheelchair. The thing
that remains vivid in my memory, and quite a few others from what I've been
told, was a completely unrehearsed, ad lib persona skit that expanded to
include Ulf and Maleah and the King and Queen at the time. Our household's
head is a Turk... during feast, he attempted to purchase a young lady from
her household's head and they were negotiating price when other members of
her household overheard the conversation and became very upset over the fact
that the Head of house intended to keep the price (which included several
bottles of my husband's mead) to himself. They then took the issue to Ulf
and Maleah who brought the young lady's head of house to a "thing"... his
offense was not selling the young lady, it was his inclination to hoard the
proceeds instead of giving barony and crown their fair share. The Thing was
held and the young lady's head of house was convicted and "beaten" by Syr
Owen (at the time Lord Owen), although our head of household was exonerated
due to the fact that "he's a Turk and that's what Turks do". The young lady
involved has told me since this event that that Protectorate was her first
event and she will never forget it... it set the "dream" for her.
