Greetings from [[Donwenna la Mareschale|Donwenna]],
 
−
I have been asked to forward this to the sca-equine list so that everyone may know of the great deeds done at the first Emprise of the Sable Rose (An Tir). The Company of the Sable Rose Argent is a part of the Rose Companies which started in Trimaris under the auspices of Duchess Elspeth and the Captain of the Company, Baroness Aurora. The goal was to bring forth the Virtues of Chivalry on the field (I have included our version of the induction ceremony we use in An Tir). The members of the Rose Companies are primarily Equestrians and Rapier; in some kingdoms, we include archers and support personel. The Members work together to display these Virtues before the Ladies of the Berfrois in Honor of them. The Berfrois is peopled by many notables, many of whom are Patronesses and Patrons of the Rose Companies. In turn, these notables support and promote the efforts of the equestrian and rapier activities within the kingdom.

Each Company can have a contingent of foot soldiers, known as the Thorns of the Rose. These Thorns are fine and noble swordsmen and women who shall show themselves to be the pinnacles of chivalry both on and off the field.

Within An Tir the Rose Companies are represented by the Royal Company of the Sable Rose, Argent (commonly called the Royal Company of the Sable Rose).  The Company of the Sable Rose was founded on the concept that pageantry, spectacle, chivalry, and authentic representations are integral to the recreation of Historical Tournaments. Furthermore a consistent ambience of Courtly Love is intertwined in this presentation of homage to the Ladies of the Kingdom in a grand Company of the Sable Rose Emprise, and at the Romancing the Rose Rapier tournaments

It is our endeavor to encourage the romantic ideals of the medieval times. We will ever strive to do so by our words and our deeds.
−
Wonderful displays of chivalry, joy in riding, camaraderie and pageantry by the riders and their retinues. I was stunned at the superb decorations; I think that Aquaterra under Baroness Rosamund certainly out did themselves this time. Our out of Kingdom Guests were profoundly impressed. Horses and people strutted their stuff for the Berfrois.... then came the competition...  
 
  
−
The mirrored challenge course was pure fun and added such an element of thrill and spectacle!

For those who weren't there, you'll see pictures and videos, but a brief description: the arena was split in half. Two challengers were called to the field. The idea was that each rider start at either end and meet in the center at the barrier which separated the 'jousting lanes' for the speed quintain. I think, every element had 1 point (i.e., 1 point for each weave and head, birja, quintain revolutions) plus 4 points if you got to the speed quintain first. The top winners of each round ran against each other till the field was totally eliminated to the champion. [[Giraldus Evienece|Giraldus]] and [[Thorkel Haroldssen|Thorkel]] were on their third (?) run thru the course and by then they & their mounts sure knew what they were doing!!! The entire competition lasted less than an hour and the scoring was lightening fast. [[Anastasia Alexandrovna Andreeva|Baroness Anastasia]] did scoring as she has done for several equestrian events over the last couple of years. I have never seen a field of riders run thru so quickly. It was super exciting to watch. And the crowd went wild as the competitors raced for the speed quintain.

All Companions of the Company eschew the scorn and denigration of any person due to their creed, infirmity, faith, lineage, poverty or vow.

I would like to congratulate Lady [[Francesca de Monte|Francesca]], Kingdom Equestrian Champion on winning the Emprise of the Sable Rose. HL [[Felicitae de l’Hay|Felicitae]] was her Inspiration. Francesca was riding Bee, who is quite a little pistol. But despite an interesting dismount in which she bounced right back up, Francesca went on to ride to glory and Honor in the final round on the jousting quintain. HL [[Kolfinna Hestrasdottir|Kolfinna]] came in second on Skygnir (sp), --it was an absolute tie to the end! I am hear to tell you folks, that Francesca is well deserving of her title as Kingdom Champion!
 
−
 
 
−
Viscountess [[Miranda Faoltiarna|Miranda]] was in the top Three on her fine mare, Cookie. She gave a very moving presentation during the Processional in which she dedicated her riding to Master [[Mischka Ravensfuri|Mischka]] who had given her Cookie long ago. She won best Pageantry scroll and prize and her Inspiration was Sir [[Tiernan mor dal Cais|Tiernan]]. We were all inspired by her speech and actions. I am certain that Master Mischka is smiling down on her and was drumming in praise of her riding.
 
−
 
 
−
There were some young horses who were in training & the owners thought they might not complete their runs. However, they did far better than expected and were able to meet every challenge just fine! [[Felicitae de l’Hay|Felicitae]] was riding her youngster , Royal, a very sweet gelding and HL [[Thorkel Haraldsson|Thorkel]]rode Stitch, a very handsome gelding. I am veryimpressed by how welltheir training is progressing.

−
Every Rider rode with skill, passion, joy, and courtesy. It was a real pleasure to serve them as EMIC for this activity. Indeed, they truly all typified the virtues set forth by the Company of the Sable Rose.
 
−
 
 
−
I would like to thank the Ladies of the Befrois headed by our Grand Noble Patroness of the Company of the sable Rose, Duchess [[Angharad Banadaspas Drakenhefd|Angharad]]. It means alot to the Riders to display their talents and skills to such Worthies. I would also like to thank everyone who worked the field with me (Al were either riders or Jr Marshals). HL [[Saikhan Naranaimorin|Saikhan]] was Lysts. Groundcrew were : THLs [[Agelos Evienece|Agelos]], [[Khaidu Naranaimorin|Khaidu]], [[Taradan ban Marca|Taradan]], [[Giraldus Evienece|Giraldus]], & [[Duncan Taddio]].

Thanks to m'lord Crios from the Shire of [[Earnrokke]] for taking these pictures of the activities of the entire day: The Processional included HW, Rapier and Horses/Riders. Then the fighting and finally the riding and closing court awards. Some cameo shots of youngsters who are too cute for words (which explains why I do not know their SCA names, eh? LOL).

Badge of the Royal Company of the Sable Rose, Argent.
Royal Charter for the Company

Facta non Verba

Deeds not Words

The Rose Companies are resolved to better exalt the Virtues of Prowess, Courage, Honesty, Largess, Loyalty, Faith, Courtesy, and Franchise and to display said virtues in martial deeds, valiant acts, and grand presentation. Companions of the Rose Companies endeavor to increase, advance and uphold the banner of chivalry as it was practiced by our noble ancestors. The Rose Companies are dedicated to the use of Equestrian Arms.

Each Company can have a contingent of foot soldiers, known as the Thorns of the Rose. These Thorns are fine and noble swordsmen and women who shall show themselves to be the pinnacles of chivalry both on and off the field.

Within An Tir the Rose Companies are represented by the Royal Company of the Sable Rose, Argent (commonly called the Royal Company of the Sable Rose). The Company of the Sable Rose was founded on the concept that pageantry, spectacle, chivalry, and authentic representations are integral to the recreation of Historical Tournaments. Furthermore a consistent ambience of Courtly Love is intertwined in this presentation of homage to the Ladies of the Kingdom in a grand Company of the Sable Rose Emprise, and at the Romancing the Rose Rapier tournaments

It is our endeavor to encourage the romantic ideals of the medieval times. We will ever strive to do so by our words and our deeds.
