Twelfth
Night Revel -- "San Bernardino"
January 11, 1975
|
Held at St. Paul’s Methodist Church, San Bernadino, CA. Prince Hugh and Princess Rosemary held court. King Paul and Queen Carol attended. King Paul gave an Award of Arms to Arabella Lyon de Rohese and made Armond Sebastian de la Forêt de Savigny and Maihe McFregy Court Barons. There was a banquet followed by contests and revelry. There was a St. George and the Dragon play, and Giesele-Hildegaard sang and played the guitar. Karin von Schatten won the embroidered trim from scratch contest, a friend of Baroness Jessica Lyrindi of Northmarch won the knitted or Starting from Existing Trim contest, and the Insulter’s Guild won the final contest with a truly yucky entry. Eric von Strein was made Principality Chirurgeon. Alys von Markheim (Alison von Markheim) was the autocrat. |
