>>Greetings Friends!

>>Ameline & I got home at 3:00 am Sunday, having left right before Grand Court
>>got underway. We drove straight through. The War was wonderful. Weather was
>>great from Wed - Sat. Congratulations to Centurion Stella! Other moments off
>>the top of my head: Countess Octavia de Verdon joined the Order of the Arcus
>>Majoris for her years of archery prowess and Lord Randal der Krieger
>>received a Sable Falcon.
>>
>>The Ravine battle was looong, and a bit brutal, but satisfying. Torin, (Lord
>>Herries' (sp) lovely lady who's first event was Steppes 12th night) was
>>marshalling in the Ravine battle and took a spear shot to the head. She got
>>6 stitches from this but was back in the thick of it marshalling later on.
>>She also operated a ballistae during the fort battles on Saturday. Also,
>>during the Ravine battle, Lady Vivaine Taarnfalk received an excessive blow
>>to the head and, I believe, a concussion as a result, but was also seen
>>fighting later in the war. His Majesty Aaron, at a full charge, took a spear
>>thrust to the chest that I heard took him off the ground. After a brief
>>rest, he too was back in the battle where he took 2 more spears to the
>>chest, and was forced to take it a little easier for the remainder of the
>>war. One other individual was carried off the field on his shield and yet
>>another was taken off in a golf cart. However, even with all the excessive
>>blows, Ansteorra was still victorious in the Ravine. Her Majesty Britta also
>>was injured in the Open Field battle, (I think with a twisted ankle), but
>>was able to continue fighting.
>>
>>Vivat! to the Company of the Hunt, whose members served our kingdom well.
>>The King's champion, Centurion Virgil, won a tournament early in the week
>>(before I arrived), I think it was the Ansteorran sponsored tourney. In
>>addition, Earl Alaric, Cent. Virgil, Lord Louie and Lord Daire all fought in
>>the Live Chess tourney with impressive results. All defeated at least one
>>foe. Lord Daire even defeated His Grace Duke Mittion! Earl Alaric Drake
>>defeated the enemy queen (the queen's piece is played by two fighters
>>simultaneously). Our own Queen Britta (along with Centurion Virgil) played
>>the part of Queen in the Chess match and ended the game by defeating the
>>Trimarin king! The Trimarin Queen, like Her Majesty Britta, is also a
>>chivalric fighter and fought as queen in the chess match. As a side note,
>>the Queen of Meridies is also a chivalric fighter and fought during the war.
>>I am not sure how often the Queens of all three principle kingdoms fight,
>>but it was inspiring to see. The Company of the Hunt continued their
>>successes at the Ladies of the Rose Tourney on Friday. It was a single
>>elimination, single bout tourney, that saw Lord Daire de Hoya in round
>>three. Three of the final four fighters were of the Hunt as well, with Lord
>>Louie, Centurion Virgil and Centurion Gustav Hastings. Sir Gideon Macleod
>>defeated Centurion Gustav in the finals. As you might have gathered,
>>Ansteorra rocked the Rose tourney!
>>
>>The heavy champions battle was fun to watch. Leaving the field victorious,
>>Earl Daffydd raised his glaive over head and issued forth cries of victory
>>like those of the Sand People from Star Wars. Duke Richard defeated Duke
>>Balder. Sir Mahadhi, Centurions Virgil, Daniel and Erasmus were all
>>victorious as well.
>>
>>In the A&S Champions battle Countess Kayleigh scored a perfect 20! Sir
>>Pendarin received a 19 for his performing art. My own Lady Ameline did well
>>as did many more. Overall, Ansteorra was victorious in the A&S Champions
>>battle. We left before the A&S melee results were announced.
>>
>>I heard that we were victorious in the Rapier War Point but did not see that
>>battle.  I did see the Rapier Ravine battle, however, and I must say there
>>was tremendous chivalry displayed by both sides. Though we did not win
>>the Ravine battle, it was exciting to watch. (I can't wait for you to see my
>>photo of Edward Mercer standing alone holding off five Trimarin's!)
>>
>>Sorry to run so long, I will leave it to others to provide many more
>>details. Photos to follow soon.
>>
>>At home in Ansteorra,
>>Lord Armand Dragonetti
