[Northkeep] lillie War

[Hugh & Belinda Niewoehner]

Your Grace,

Duncan is indeed a worthy man.

As my Grandson, Hrothgar, fought in the army of King Olav  I must of 
course support my Norse brethren.  Besides, Lilies is just a fun all 
around war.  Fighting, or not, check out the classes, fighting schedule, 
and other activities planned at: http://www.lilieswar.org/schedule.

In service to Lion and Falcon.

     HE Damon, The Baron Borrendöhl an der Weinstraße, of the Court of 
Ansteorra

I reverently ask for the support of my friends and brothers in arms on this day of fierce combat against the Anglo-Saxon Earl Byrhtnoth of Essex. Please considerfighting with me as The Viking Olaf so we can repeat the history of the Battle of Maldon and emerge victorious over the prideful Earl Byrhtnoth.
