[Ansteorra] A clarification

The note about Timo and Patrick-Michael was in no way meant to
be a slam on His Grace or Dukes in general.
I figured most people knew the story of the Crown in which Jarl (Count)
Timotheos faced Duke Patrick in the Finals. In the final bout Timo
took Pat's leg. When asked to yield, His Grace responded that if he
wanted to be a duke he would have to earn it. To this Timo responded
that he didn't want to be a duke, he wanted to be a hero. Timo
then joined Patrick on the ground and subsequently lost the fight
and the Crown.
To be a Duke is the dream of nearly every serious fighter in the Society
and to find the desire for fair play, a show for the populace and an act
of what some would consider stupid heroism merely for the honor of
one's name has been the cornerstone of what makes me put on armor
and go through it all.
My comment was in no way meant to be a dig at a great man and good
friend, Duke Patrick-Michael, but a celebration of another amazing fighter
who "gets it".
I do hope this apology and clarification is sufficient for any who may have
seen it a different way.
For anyone who passed on my first story, please pass this on as well in
case any others would have the same misconception.
Thank you,
Duke Gunthar
