Autocrat's tidbits:

• Rider Auction-Earnrokke fundraiser went extremely well. (HL Donwenna was bought by Ladies Ceridwen and Georgette of Intriguing Designs, The HL Donwenna won the competion, so they won the treasure chest). Apologies for Kolfinna for having to get auctioned off first cause folks didn't understand how to bid. It was very humorous when bidders allied to combine their funds to purchase riders! The highest sale was Duchess Angharad to Duchess Elspeth. A special thanks to Duchess Elspeth for kicking off the Rider auction in to a real bidding war.

• Dog Barding contests-Lady Marguerite Fitz Williams won most period dog barding with her dog Mischief, wearing household badge on his outfit.
  • Lady Ceridwen's dog Zeus, won for most adorable wearing his 'mongol hat and coat'

• 16 total riders! 14 riders rode advanced , 1 rode BEG, and 1 exhibition run by HL Thorkel Haraldsson featured a mounted archery & javelin on the first leg of the course--which no one else had done. Over half the riders did mounted archery and almost every single rider did the two-handed boar spearing at the handgallop. A difficult challenge course unlike any ever seen before that was run by exceptionally skilled group of riders. No unauthorized dismounts; no overheating problems.

• Kudos on ground crew go to HL Sven innHeldt, Master Togrul and Lord Arn. Several youngsters ran weapons outside the field back to the staging area, especially noted m'lord Magic the Fierce, Page to HL Donwenna la Mareschale.

• A friendship treaty was presented by the B&B of Aquaterra to Earnrokke! We love Their Excellencies! Aquaterra provided amazing support for this event with help on Court Heraldry (thanks HL Alan), on gate (HL Marie Chante) and Thrown weapons (darts!).

• Special thanks to the Kingdom Officers who came out & supported Earnrokke's 2nd Annual Summer Hunt:
  • Master Togrul Guiscard, KEO;
  • Master Ian, Kingdom Constable;
  • Banu Shadhra Aliya, Kingdom Archery Marshal.

My special congratulations to all of the Winners of the various competitions. May you all succeed in defending your Championships next year at Summer Hunt.

Lord Johannes VonMorgarten, Autocrat for Summer Hunt II
