Kolbjorn skatkaupandi, Order of Thorbjorn's Hammer, 2014

Cattle die,

Kinsmen die

You yourself die;

I know one thing

Which never dies:

The virtue of a man's life.

Hammer of Thor strikes Anvil of Virtue,       Rings forth, naming Kolbjorn.

Brother they hailed,                                        Of Ealdormere the most blissfull,

Potent King in the high seat                           They wished him to join,

And the Brethren to sit                                   Happy at the feast,

Ever with Thorbjorn,                                       Pleasure to share.

Many songs they sung,                                   Rode on sea steeds,

The King and Queen,                                      Trumbrant Bold, Kayla Fairhair'd.

At the magestic house,                                    Odin listened,

Wrote he the runes.                                         Declare, Nornir! Kolbjorn,

This day Battle Brother                                  'Til Fenris does come.

Gwenhwyfar de Hwytinton, Order of the Golden Lance, 2014

Gold is a symbol of victory and valor. In an equestrian it represents someone deeply dedicated to their art by actions and teaching. One such rider has come to the attention of the Crown of Atlantia. Gwenhwyfar de Hwytinton exemplifies these values, thus at War of the Wings, 18 October A. S. xliv, We induct her into the Order of the Golden Lance.

Wording by Geffrei Maudeleyne.

The Order of the Golden Lance is an inter-kingdom order (similar to the White Scarf) to recognize excellence in equestrian pursuits.

Pesha, Award of the Orion, 2014

From Siegfried King of Ealdormere and Ragni, Our kind and gracious Queen, unto all whom the present letters shall come, greeting.

Duty and privilege move Us to see that those who merit honor and recognition are rewarded for their efforts. Since those things which are done lapse with the passage of time, and unless they are corroborated by written testimony, will easily slip the memories of men, We wish it to be known to all people both now and in the future that We, by Our will, herby recognize Lady Pesha for her artistic endeavors including costuming and research. So it is that We agree and do We wish to recognize this talented lady with Our Award of the Orion and give her the right to wear the badge of the award Purpure, an Irish harp, on a bordure Or five mullets purpure.

But, so that it will not be terminated as long as Ealdormere prevails, We have also recorded these things in writing in order that no calumny may arise in the future, and in order that all doubt may be removed.

Colyne Stewart, Order of the Crucible, 2014

To all freeholders and the whole realm of Ealdormere do We, King Siegfried and Queen Ragni send all manner of filial reverence. We know from the chronicles and books of the ancients, that our Kingdom of Ealdormere has well earned widespread renown throughout the Known World for its wealth of histories, poems, songs, and stories and there exists such envy for the talent of those ollaves of Ealdormere who are able to create such chronicles.

There is one who through countless efforts has recorded such chronicles including deeds of war and tournament, tales of pilgrimage, triumphs in arts and sciences, challenges issued, service done and yet other endeavours without number, putting into words that which no one could describe nor fully imagine unless they had seen them with their own eyes so all should know and remember. From these labours our people and their heritage has been delivered out of the darkness of ignorance and forgetfulness of the passage of time and has been well preserved for all future generations to know and bear witness to the high qualities and noble deeds of the people of Ealdormere.

Such a man is Colyne Stewart. To this man, in as much as he has preserved word and deed of our people, we are bound both by law and by his merits that Ealdormere's renown may be still maintained, and come what may, we mean to stand and recognize such skill. Therefore it is that We decree that Laird Colyne Stewart with our most earnest prayers and suppliant hearts, be induced into Our order of the Crucible and grant unto him the right to bear the badge of the Order. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that he hath worked, but for our people.

In order that no misrepresentation may arise in the future, and in order that all doubt may be removed, We have strengthened this appointment of Ours, corroborating it in writing before those here assembled Done on the Saint day of St Augustine, the 6th day of September, Anno Societatis 49 and order it to be signed with the authority of our seal.

Travis Vincent Greywolf, Award of the Scarlet Banner, 2014

From Siegfried, Rex, King of the Ealdormerans, and Ragni, Regina, Queen of the free folk of the northlands, to Our Heirs, Lawspeaker, Dukes, Duchesses, Counts, Countesses, Viscounts, Viscountesses, Barons, Baronesses, members of Our royal orders, and to all others to whom these presents may come, greetings.

As history records, the Society was first brought to Our realm by Sir Finnvarr de Taahe, known as the Iron Duke, and member of the Orders of Chivalry, the Pelican and the Laurel. This founding father was later to become the husband of Her Majesty, and began to gather around him a household of the worthy and the brave. Amongst those valiant few, Finnvarr took two erstwhile youths to squire, to stand as his vassals and as brothers one to the other. One of these squires would go on to become not only a knight in his own right, but indeed to become a king. This was His Majesty Siegfried. The other squire is known for wandering the world, always in search of adventure and fame, all to bring glory to his knight and household. In times of need or of war, this good gentle always returned to the fold and took up what ever tool was needed to aid his knight, his fellow squires and the other members of House De Taahe. With noble harness he is known at the Pennsic Wars for his diligence and skill with the sword. And this man is Travis Vincent Greywolf.

Know now that His Majesty looks kindly upon his brother-at-arms, as does Her Majesty, and They would have it known that They hold him in such high regard that They would bestow upon him an Award of the Scarlet Banner, so that all my know he is a proud and worthy fighter of the Kingdom of Ealdormere.

So was this done, at [EVENT] on the [DAY] of [MONTH] in the forty-ninth year of the Society, in witness whereof We have set Our hand and seal.

Gottfried von Hengstberg, Award of Arms, 2014

In the name of the great and unconquerable Wolves of the North, Siegfried and Ragni, by favour of boreal mercy, august king and queen of the Ealdormereans. Since human memory is short and does not suffice for a crowd of things, the authority of those who preceded our age, the divine emperors and kings, has decreed that those things were to be written down which the progress of fleeting time generally removes from the knowledge of men.

A. Wherefore let the generality of the present as well as the future subjects of our kingdom know, that Gottfried von Hengstberg, the redoubtable polearms man from the Harrowgate Heath, for the reason that he greatly impressed us with his joy and vigour on the field of battle, that he also engages in the right and proper pursuit of the arts of the bow, and his eagerness to assist in projects both great and small, and is in all ways a benefit to us and our kingdom, has incurred our pleasure.

B. We, therefore, after deliberating with our councilors, have agreed to elevate, raise and endow the aforesaid Gottfried, bestowing upon him an Award of Arms, and making him a lord of our realm.

We do confirm, therefore, this lawful investiture of our royal majesty onto Gottfried.

Charter for the Ealdormerean Cartographers Guild

Siegfried, by the Grace of Lady Ealdormere, King of Ealdormere, and Ragni, Queen by inspiration, to all to whom these presents shall come greeting.

Know ye that amongst other things ordained in the last Parliament it was for certain causes and purposes in the same Parliament ordained that in Ealdormere it would be good and just for there to exist a righteous company of mapmakers within the kingdom, known as the Ealdormerean Guild of Cartographers, and now it is shown unto us and to our council that the demand for maps of various kinds is extreme and for that the people of the kingdom will be enriched by such a company of the mistery of cartography, we, understanding the aforesaid things, have, by the assent of the Commons and others our council towards maintaining and preserving the said ordinances, ordained the Cartographers who will be enfranchised to draft maps of the baronies, cantons, shires, cities, boroughs and towns of the kingdom, being as accurate to their boundaries and borders as it is possible to be.

We likewise will that no strangers and foreigners shall bring into Ealdormere their own maps of our realm, unless they be a friend of our kingdom and of the Guild Cartographers and that the said artisans of the said mistery of Cartographers shall chuse every year a person most sufficient, most expert and most knowing in the same mistery and present them to us or our heirs, or to the baron and baroness of any barony where such mistery of Cartographers is used, and that the said person be sworn in the presence of us, our heirs, or our barons and baronesses, to survey that all manner of maps whatsoever drawn within the realm be accurate and true, and likewise that the same person do correct and amend all defaults found in the exercise of the said mistery, and that they will act as the kingdom’s cartographer, and the head of the Ealdormerean Guild of Cartographers, for no more than one year, unless they be chosen again to be sworn in before us, our heirs, or our barons and baronesses to continue in their task. This choosing shall be done by the members of the said mistery of cartography at the turning of the society year to match the founding of the Guild, and the choosing shall be done by a simple majority vote.

We will and give licence to the said Artisan Cartographers of Ealdormere that they may buy vellum and parchment, and inks and quills, and travel our lands without let or hindrance in the pursuit of their duty, art and mistry so long as they not impede any subjects of this our kingdom in their own duties.

And we will that the ordinances and subsidies of maps and mapping supplies of all kinds, in all cities, boroughs and towns enfranchised within this realm be firmly kept and preserved in all points to the said Cartographers and their successors always in the form.

In witness whereof we have caused these our Letters to be made Patents. Given at der Welfengau, the twenty-fourth day of May in the forty-ninth year of our society.

Mjoll Ulfsdottir, Award of the Orion, 2012

Who is this lady that comes before Us

Here in our lofty hall?

To stand before Edward, Wolf-strong King,

And Rylyn, North-wise Queen?

Called she Mjoll, Dottir of Ulf,

Water-born and Water-loved

Skilled with hands and leather-craft

And Jörð's bounty well fashioned.

Bearer is she of unsheathed axes,

Giver of shovels-sheathed.

Shaper of skins, and pelts prepared

For beauteous crafts to please the eye.

Drunk has she deep from Mead of Suttungr,

Odin’s gift of poetry to men;

With skald’s tongue and wisdom great

Does she great works of song and tale.

Know we well this Lady’s worth

And proclaim it thus in our high hall:

That Lady Mjoll, Dottir of Ulf,

Bear our will and favour forth.

Take upon thee this harp of gold

Bedecked in wine-deep stars

Orion’s harp, for all to hear,

Award we now for art and skill.

Done this 1st Day of September, AS 47,

As we sit our thrones at Baron's Howe.

Aiden Scoetend aet theaem Mistigum Merum, Award of the Scarlet Banner, 2014

In the name of the great Siegfried, lawful Ard Ri of All Ealdormere, who is as bold as a lion and who knows well sword-fame;

And in the name of the wise Ragni, to whom is born many red-speared warriors, and from whom treasures of all colours flow;

I praise the skillful man of the race of Fergus, Aidan Scoetend aet thaem Mistigum Merum - spirited in adversity, who neither grovels before the foeman, nor hordes treasure.

To bold Aidan, let all, from the mightiest Ri to the lowliest of slaves, know of your bow-skill, that neither sharp wind nor cold rain can cause falter to!

Keen-eyed is Aidan, whose arrows fly faster than even the golden chariot of Cú Chulainn! Whose arrows strike as true as sword of Brian of Old!

Loyal is Aidan, who wears the colours of his home well and with great pride! Let him now wear scarlet, as the Banner his Ard Ri now bestows upon him!

With these words do I finish my praise, and do my gracious sovereigns, Siegfried and Ragni, do this honourable deed on the Feast of St. Cathan, Anno Societatis XLIX, as they reign wisely in the lands of Ramshaven at Fruits of our Labours VII.

Yamagata Tokifune, Award of the Scarlet Banner, 2013

Kanji:

ナイジェル、王の前で,

狼から生まれた偉大な王

美の彼の女王と

北の男爵領を支配する彼ら,

私はひざまずい人に祝福の言葉を話す

私はこの男の美徳を記述したい。

山形時舟殿

彼は山のようなもので、彼は強いであり、彼は降伏しない

水と時間が山を下り着用しようとするのと同じように

だから敵は彼を攻撃しようとし

しかし、戦いのすべてを風化、彼が立っている。

山形時舟殿

彼の作品は目を見張るように美しいです

戦争と平和の両方

彼の鎧は、彼のラインの美徳を宣言

彼光やストーン、彼の技術。

山形時舟殿

天の下にあるすべてのことは、背の高い山を見ることが

彼らはこの赤い旗を見てみましょう

誇らしげにそれはあなたをマークしてみましょう

组头これは今あなたのランクです。

さて、ソブリン、あなたが狼の生まれた

この判決は、四十八年の十月の二十七日に発行されました

名誉山形時舟殿するために。

Poetic Translation (to be read in Court):
Before the great wolf-born King, Nigel-ō,
And his queen of beauty, Adrielle-Joō
They who rule the danshaku-ryō of the North
I would speak congratulatory words to this man,
Who kneels; And sing his praises.

Yamagata Tokifune-dono,
Like a mountain, strong and unyielding
As water and time may try to wear the mountain down
So would his foemen assail him,
Yet he stands, weathering all battle.

Yamagata Tokifune-dono,
Beauteous are his crafts,
Of warfare and of peace;
His armour, declaring the virtues of his line,
Leather and Stone, his skills

Yamagata Tokifune-dono,
As all under heaven see the mountain rise,
Let them see this Scarlet Banner,
Proudly may it mark you,
As kumigashira, your new rank.
Here now, wolf-born sovereigns,

This is done on the 27th day of the 10th month of the 48th year.

Done by your hand and seal.

Literal Translation:

In front of Nigel , the king ,

Great king, born of wolf

And his queen of beauty;

They dominate the baronies of North,

I speak the words of blessing to people kneeling

I want to write the virtues of this man.

Yamagata Tokifune-dono

He is like a mountain: he is strong, he does not surrender

As water and time is to try to wear down the mountain

So the enemy will try to attack him

However, weathering all of the fight, he is standing.

Yamagata Tokifune-dono

His work is beautiful to behold

Both of War and Peace

His armour, declaring the virtues of his line

Stone and his light, his skills.

Yamagata Tokifune-dono

All that is under heaven will see the mountain tall

They take a look at this red flag

Let it mark you proudly

Kumigashira: This is your rank now.

Well, sovereigns, you were born of the wolf

This ruling was issued on the 27th of October forty- eight years

In order to honor Yamagata Tokifune-dono

Heinrich Brechthold, Award of Arms, 2012

Let all good and true nobles attend the words of Edward, Second of his Name, and Rylyn, Second of her Name, König and Königin of the Northern Kingdom of Ealdormere. Know we well that no blade is keener or truer than the heart of an eager Northman. Heinrich Brechthold has the heart of a true son of the North, and thus do we call him before our mighty thrones. Though he has been our subject for but a few score of days, this Dienstmann has learned the art of war in his homeland of Bastille du Lac. He has taken his armour and sword across our land, winning renown in tournaments, and, when the call to war was sounded, took ship abroad, serving under our Banner on the fields of battle in the Debateable Lands. Even when on the most gruelling of campaigns in the service of Ealdormere he has found time to learn the noble art of sewing and garb-making. Such deeds are worthy of reward. Thus do we, Edward and Rylyn, Rex et Regina Ealdormeris, by Royal Decree award grant unto Heinrich Brechthold, an Award of Arms, and raise him the rank of Edelfrei, a free noble, with all the attendant rights, privileges, and responsibilities this new rank confers.

Done this 1st day of September, A.S. 47, in our Barony of Skraeling Althing, at Bonfield.

HOW TO ADAPT FROM PERIOD SOURCES

How Documents Were Dated

Specify a week day and/or a nearby religious feast day, and the year of the current monarch’s reign. Examples:

• Given at Ghent the fifth day of November in the twenty-fifth year of our reign.)
• In the year of the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ 870, on the day before the Nones of March, in the 32nd year of the most glorious king Charles…
• In the year 1164 from the Incarnation of our Lord, in the fourth year of the papacy of Alexander, in the tenth year of the most illustrious king of the English, Henry II…

There are numerous other conventions for dating used in period sources, including:

• Kalends: the first day of any  month
• Nones: nine days before the Ides
• Ides: the 15^th day of any onth with 31 days, otherwise it is the 13^th day
• Vigil: the night before a major feast
• Saint’s Days: Catholicism associates multiple saints to each day of the year

 Adapting from a Poem, Song or Saga

• Use poem as introduction to scroll text, or as scroll text (if all required information is included)

Source Poem
Brian Ó Ruairc, my chosen darling,
gentle enough at the bestowal of a jewel;
and hard enough in an enclosure of slim spears,
the nut from the cluster of the Gael of the Gréag.

Another Murchadh mac Brian, a salmon of the Shannon --
Í Ruairc has a likeness to Te's Fort --
or Niall Caille who did not refuse one man,
his face's _____ cliff.

King of Calraighe of the numerous raids,
and also of Tara; plow of Niall;
two words from Bearchán's mouth;
and king on the old plains of Banba -- Brian.

Scroll Text

Corwyn Galbraith, the aiding Raven,

Gentle enough at the bestowal of rings;

And hard enough when upon the fields;

The bear from the gate of the Skelder.

Baron Corwyn, the worker,

Serving always, his king and crown,

Like the maiden he will not say no

When work there is to be done.

Master Corwyn, of the numerous skills,

Chef and cook, steward and baron,

Most worthy of the northern folk,

I bow to him in honour.

Religious Sources

• The SCA tries to keep religion in the background (since it can cause disputes or hurt feelings) but you are going to come across religious axioms all the time.
• Leave them in.
• Take them out.
• Change them (such as the Lawspeaker instead of an archbishop, or heralds instead of bishops, or Lady Ealdormere instead of God).

 Sounding Medieval

• The “rule of three”: use three verbs or nouns instead of one. Examples:
• To have, hold, and receive to the aforesaid Earl… (Creation of the King’s Brother, Edmund of Woodstock, as Earl of Kent, R.C.V. 17, by Edward II, 1321)
• …and do invest him with the style, title and name and honour of the place aforesaid… (Creation of William le Scrope as Earl of Wiltes, R.C.V. 117, by Richard II, 1397)
• …he and his heirs shall thence have his Earldom as freely, peaceably and honourably as any Earl… (Creation of Alberic or Aubrey de Vers as Earl of Oxford, R.C.V. 3, by Henry II, date unknown)
