Baronial Birthday and Investiture
5-7 September AS xxxij (CE 1997)
The Barony of Marinus invite all to join them at their tenth Baronial
Birthday, to celebrate the Investiture of their new Baron and Baroness (or
will it just be Baron?).
Didn't go to Pennsic? Went to Pennsic, but didn't get to kill enough
people? Join the Barony's fighters on the field in a point tournament in
which the new Baronial Champion will be chosen. And should there be enough
interest, those fighters who need not hurry home may join in a
double-elimination tournament which will take place on Sunday morning.
For those who do not fight, or wish a break from it, Saturday's
activities will also include a games tournament and the traditional
Eisteddfod. Who will be Marinus' new Gamesmaster and Titled Bard? And
artisans may bring samples of their work for the A&S display, to be hosted
by the Crefftwr of Marinus.
A day board will be open to all. In the evening, there will be a feast
of two courses, prepared by Lord Christian Broussard. After the feast,
there will also, of course, be dancing in the hall (musicians are most
welcome!), and a bardic circle without.
The rate schedule is as follows:
