[Ansteorra] Crown by Right of Arms

[Adam Edwards]

Hello Everyone.
      Not sure if this has been pointed out but WAY back before there 
were lines on the maps and people were dividing up the land I'm pretty 
sure that the "King" was who ever could take it and hold it. Now given 
the impracticality of holding an Intra-Kingdom  War twice a year I think 
having the Right of Arms in the form of a Tournament is a wonderfully 
Creative Anachronism and isn't quite as far from History as people seem 
to want to make it out to be.

      We could go with a Witenagemot but we can't really prove they 
every REALLY decided on who the King was and even then it was only from 
within the extended Royal Family.

In Service,
      Wilim
