<div>The hat should be kept in a safe place in the baronial guard's custody. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hanse Kleermaker's claim centers on the fact that, when he received an award from the hands of King Miguel and Queen Conal, the herald inadvertently read the award text, not as "so given IN our Barony of Raven's Fort," but as "so given our Barony of Raven's Fort."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Three things:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Their Excellencies the Baron and Baroness of Raven's Fort were duly invested by King Jason and Queen Sareid since this alleged incident.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Their Excellencies also made an oath of homage to the Crown by placing their hands on the Sword of State. Legally, Baron Brian du Val and Mistress Fionna ni Chellaigh are the rightful Baron and Baroness of Raven's Fort.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Since his investiture, Brian du Val has been repeatedly acclaimed by the populace as Baron of Raven's Fort (and Mistress Fionna as Baroness of Raven's Fort). Who has acclaimed Hanse Kleermaker's claim?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A pretender who has never made an oath of homage in connection with the Barony of Raven's Fort, whose claim has subsequently been superceded by the Crown (unless someone would like to call the validity of Jason II's claim to the Ansteorran thrones into question).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It's rather bold to call someone a pretender who was duly invested by the Crown of Ansteorra. To do so would be to call the authority of the Ansteorran Crown into question, would it not?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is there a way we could place the hat inside a pinata (are they even period???) the weekend of the Baronial Investiture in March, and HAVE AT IT??? :-)</div>

<pre>Bryn Gwlad, Mecca of the arts, has a new leatherworking guild, of which, I,
Hanse Kleermaker, am the most famous member. We would like to solicit the
learned elsewhere in the kingdom for your input. Feel free to answer if you
are lettered, have a Thistle for leatherworking, or an equivalent proof of
your expertise that qualifies you to address our august guild.
On to the questions at hand:
1. Does anyone know anything about *actual sources* for water proofing
recipes? I don't want to hear "I heard..." or "so-and-so once told me..."
Either cite a reliable source or just keep working on that Tandy
rainbow-unicorn keychain kit and keep quiet.
2. We've heard acrylic tub and sink repair stuff works great as a food safe
sealant for leather vessels. Looking for the wisdom of others on this. What
brand? How long does it need to dry? Cautionary tales about careful
application? Does it affect taste? You Spanish/Italian dago personas can
skip answering- if you'll drink your local wines you can't possibly tell if
something has gone off.
3. Tandy's stamp collection is not entirely suited to the medieval leather
worker; are there more sources out there for tools? Seeders, circles,
backgrounds that are more varied? Failing that, are there any affordable
machinists that can follow single syllable instructions?
(Scots/Celts/MasterIvar need not apply)
Humbly Yours,
Hanse Kleermaker
Rescinded (Rightful) Baron of Ravensfort
Most Hansdsome Dutchman: 1599-1603
"Down with the pretender, du Val!"
