Royal Narratives
Coronet 05: Bronislous & Agrippina
Bronislous de Vilnius and Agrippina di Conti , 5th Coronet of Trimaris by Aislinn Bodiam 244 words And so it was that Aaron Breck Gordon and Linnet Lorraine abdicated the throne in favor of their heirs, Bronislous de Vilnius and Agrippina di Conti. The Heirs were each escorted into their first court by an opposite-gender honor guard clad in blue and red tabards and carrying crossbows. During Bron and Agrippina’s reign, archery was introduced to Trimaris, with classes given on arrow-making, and archery lessons taught. These new archers were encouraged by Their Royal Highnesses to hunt down the rogue Robin Hood. TRHs also oversaw the birth of a new shire within their Principality, named Ac Scrin, formed from the merging of two existing groups in the area of Naples. Baldar won the day at Trimaris Memorial Tourney, making himself and Ljudmilla von Konigsberg the next heirs to the throne of the Principality of Trimaris. The historian Erik von Kampf recorded that the Barony of Wyvernwoode followed Prince Bronislous to Pennsic War, fighting well on His behalf for the Kingdom of Midrealm. John Bearkiller, King of Meridies, was in attendance at Bron and Agrippina’s last court, and sadly witnessed their demise. Princess Agrippina was served a dish of sumptuous mushrooms which was named in her honor. She was unaware that the mushrooms were poisonous, and expired forthwith after just a few bites. Prince Bronislous was treacherously stabbed by his heir Baldar Langstriter. As his blood was spilled for the lands he had ruled so nobly, his dying words were, “Et tu, Baldar?” 120 words And so it was that Aaron Breck Gordon and Linnet Lorraine abdicated the throne in favor of their heirs, Bronislous de Vilnius and Agrippina di Conti.

Coronet 04: Aaron & Linnea
Aaron Breck Gordon and Linnet Lorraine, 4th Coronet of Trimaris, 1984 by Aislinn Bodiam 250 words And so Sakura Tetsuo and Sakura Kimineko did bequeath their Kingdom and titles to their heirs, Aaron Breck Gordon and Linnet Lorraine. At their Investiture there was much feasting and talk of the Crusades – stories told of those who had gone to war, and much shield-thumping by those who wished to go. Thankfully, the reign of Aaron and Linnet was a mostly peace-filled one. King Aaron and the newly-made Countess Elspeth MacNoughton helped the revolting Scots run off the English, whereby Aaron made Seosaidh mac Seosaidh the principle of the Order of the Golden Trident for his fighting prowess and skill on the field that day. Sir Bronislaus of Vilnius won the Coronet List at Martinmas Moot for Agrippina di Conti , who then became the heirs to the Principality of Trimaris. Prince Bronislaus attended the signing of the Magna Carta. King Phelan of Meridies and his knights came to our Principality to participate in the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. As the reign of Aaron and Linnet drew to a close, the historian for the Barony of Wyvernwoode, Lord Erik von Kampf recorded that, “Their Highnesses concluded their last court and withdrew in majesty, surrounded by the bowed heads of their devoted subjects.” Von Kampf also recorded the bans of marriage between Lord Michael Kennethson to Anastasia von Anspach, and the passing of the title “Evil, Wicked, Mean and Nasty” from Baroness Enriqueta Isabel de Reyes y Mora to Lady Atalaya la Sanadora, to which the populace responded with boos and hisses. 125 words And so Sakura Tetsuo and Sakura Kimineko did bequeath their Kingdom and titles to their heirs, Aaron Breck Gordon and Linnet Lorraine.

The Order of the Laurel was bestowed upon Ana Alicia Rheinhardt and Elina of Beckinham. The good gentles Morgana ferch Morgan and Vasilikee of Southkeep were inducted into the Order of the Pelican. Many would say that the reign of Seosaidh and Erika was marred by several wars, but they fought bravely through their reign for the glory of Trimaris. TRM Seosaidh and Erika both fought in the Fool’s War, the Leather and Lace War, and the Battle of Crecy. Her Majesty Erika fought valiantly at Pennsic War at His Majesties’ side, but was unfortunately injured. Having fought so well, their Majesties earned enmity and enemies. Regrettably, their enemies gained the upper hand when Erika was killed protecting Seosaidh from an assassin’s arrow during court. Seosaidh chased down his would-be assassin and beheaded him, receiving severe wounds from which he did not survive. Their heir and son Solomon Spite and his consort Chelsea Blackwood of the Heights solemnly buried his parents and took over the duties of ruling the Kingdom of Trimaris. 126 words And so Quentin ap Rhys and Cara Marie of Carlisle granted the Kingdom of Trimaris to their heirs Seosaidh mac Seosaidh and Erika Bjornsdottir.

Crown 11: Huan & Anastasya
Huan Artur and Anastasya Ostromirovna Zadorova, 11th Crown of Trimaris 90-91 by Aislinn Bodiam 229 words Huan Artur and Anastasya Ostromirovna Zadorova watched as their parents Arlof and Hillary went into the mists, then dutifully stepped forward to rule Trimaris. They were generous with their praise of their populace, awarding numerous well-deserved titles and awards and creating several new Peers. Aspasia Jeanne Cartier and Xanthus Drake Ruthendale became members of the Order of the Laurel. Fredrich Karl Kyburg and Lansemal von Weisenkreig were Knighted by the Crown. Mysteriously, a plague brought by mosquitoes threatened the people of fair Trimaris. Several events became shortened, canceled, or the date had to be moved. One event was cancelled due to tornadoes. Cooler weather soon ceased this pestilence and Trimarians gathered again for Crown List. We then ventured forth to Sea Raids in Atlantia, our army fighting valiantly, winning the A&S competition and losing the war point by one arrow. Our kind Monarchs bestowed special attention and gifts upon a small, terminally-ill child who was made Princess for the day. Huan and Anastasiya were very much patrons of the arts and sciences, especially the Scribes Guild of Trimaris, which was created during their reign. So enthralled were they by the performing arts that verily did they request the Knights of Trimaris to perform for them during their Coronation feast! Huan and Anastasiya ruled long, and reluctantly passed on the Kingdom to their heirs Brendan MacAengus and Aine Swrdwal. 126 words Huan Artur and Anastasya Ostromirovna Zadorova watched as their parents Arlof and Hillary went into the mists, then dutifully stepped forward to rule Trimaris.

Crown 10 Arlof & Hillary
Crown 10: The Tale of King Arlof and Queen Hilary
Softly to the sound of the harp and the lyre came the warrior-bard King Arlof and much joy brought he in song and merriment. Loved was he, uncommon for kings but not for bards. Yet he was a dread lord of war when stirred to wrath. He humbled the kings of Meridies and Atlantia when outnumbered, and even stole victory from sure defeat by bearding the Eastern King in northern lands. He gave his life for the land and it bears his mark. And Hilary was his queen. And Arlof sleeps in Avalon’s mists. A full account is available at https://aranmore.wordpress.com |
Crown 45 Ardion & Lisa
by Master Simon Maurus of the Argent Quill LONG VERSION: Following the reign of The Storm Lord, Martin II and his beloved Queen, Islay II The Wise, joys of the reign of fierce King Ardion and his beloved Queen Lisa were spun in tales around the world by bards and minstrels of every tongue. The Crowns were not only keen military stewards, but patrons of the arts and sponsors of the sciences. No scribe went hungry or without her tools. Every Courtier was made fat and merry in their hospitality. In them, Trimarian equestrians found new champions, and were held in great esteem in interkingdom tournaments of The Crown’s design. At The Great Pennsic War, the argent and azure banners flashed above the Allied Champions Battle, and at the War of the Lillies a squadron of the finest women warriors stood fiercely with The King in the heart of the battles. Her Majesty, too, raised waves of inspiration throughout her lands, amongst Her skilled rapier fighters, finest artisans and craftsmen. Many were the years of bounty and prosperity under these two, our King Ardion the Irontower, and Queen Lisa The Bluebird of Happiness. The love they shared with one another was made flesh in the birth of their good son, Thorstenn The Wronghanded and years later in the choosing of his lovely wife, Zephyrine The Graceful.
