[Sca-cooks] Midrealm News regarding royalty OT OP

[chawkswrth at aol.com]

This is the exact letter as it was posted on the Livejournal SCA List;

Greetings unto the Noble Populace of the Midrealm from Duke Palymar of the Two Baronies, Regent of the Midrealm, 

In the past few days, we have witnessed many fine examples noblesse oblige, as people have lent their voice in support of friend and Kingdom. In an effort to ensure the succession of the Royal lineage, and with support of the Board of Directors of the SCA, Inc., an ad hoc Crown tournament will be held on Sunday, May 26, at 10 am., prior to the already published and announced tournament. 

This tournament will be open to Sir Lutr Ulfskjald and those combatants and consorts who are found to be acceptable to the Regent. 

Following the conclusion of this tournament, the victor will immediately be Crowned King and Queen of the Midrealm and the previously advertised Crown tournament will commence as scheduled. 

Complete details will be posted on the Crown Tourney website in the near future. 

Thank you all for your patience and understanding during this unprecedented occasion in the Midrealm, 

In Service, 
Duke Palymar of the Two Baronies 
Regent of the Midrealm 

Kudos to His Grace for a most equitable solution to a horrid, sticky question. Remember-the rules are there for a purpose. The BOD MUST uphold? what they, themselves have passed. Whether that law is right or wrong, is moot.

Let us hope?that Right does indeed prevail at what is truly going to be a Crown Tournament.

This is unconscionable.  I can't believe that we are so hidebound by rules
that we can't take into account something of this nature.  Surely they will
appeal.  While I haven't had the privilege of meeting them, I'm sure that
there are many in the Middle who would support an appeal of this decision.
