| *Grimwithshire was born on an autumn day in AS XXXVII when the Lady Arnora did travel to the fair shire of Ambergard to gain audience with their Majesties Nicholaus and Allyssia. After listening to her lament that there was no Kingdom presence in her home in the Unclaimed Lands, His Majesty did command her to seek out all those gentles of her lands and band them together as one. As the King’s word is Law did the Lady spend many months in search of the folk dwelling in the hills and glen, the valley and field of the Unclaimed Lands. | | * [http://www.inlandregion.org/grimwith/ Grimwith website] |

| In the spring of AS XXXVIII did these meet at the river near a small village and begin to talk of their new shire. At this meeting the Lady Arnora was chosen as the Seneschale, Guy of the Velvet Hammer as the Master of Stables, Dinnok Smoksson the Constable, Wecelo von Hamm did become Minister of List and the lady Anne our Exchequer with mi’lady Una put forth as Chatelaine with her lord Uthur the Chirurgeon and mi’lady Emelye as Herald. Agnarr Tokisson, Phaeton the Ratcatcher, the lady Venera de Nardiello, and Ekarius of Grimwith did confirm these appointments.

| The fair valleys of our land are ringed by great mountains bearing deep, dark woods, well known to be a perilous place for it is rumored that spirits roam the fell forests. Thus was Grimwith chosen for the name of this new land, as in our fathers tongue it does mean the wood haunted by a ghost or goblin.

| | |
| In great mirth did we welcome mi’lord James McFee and his lady Katherine along with the maidens Lily and Jesse, mi’lord Silas, his lady-wife Tammy and the lovely maiden Sylvia. Mi’lord Cathal, mi’lady Muirrenn and Maggie pledged their faith in Grimwith.

| | |
| At midsummer a great fair was held with many entertainments and tournament sport. In order to make their new shire known the people did send forth an invitation to the Barony of Wealdsmere to come and see our fair new lands. Many of the populace did travel north and much revelry and sport was held. So impressed were the Baronial emmissaries that the Barony did pledge their sponsorship of our new land, thus making it possible for us to petition the King for status.

| | |
| In recognition of this new alliance the fighting force of Grimwith did join in the Avacal Inlands war and fought bravely for our beloved land. At this war there chanced to be a wandering Knight with his household, who lived in a remote keep in our lands. Sir Tighearnach and his lovely wife the Lady Rioghnach did join with Grimwith, bringing mi’lord Richard mac Tighearnach, Ailionara inghean Tighearnach, Fionabhair inghean Tighearnach with Blathnaid of Grimwith and the Honorable Lord Dacy Cospatrick. In time we welcomed mi’lady Hildithe, mi’lord Clayton with his lady wife Yvonne and mi’lord Clayton and mi’lady Linzy, and Helen of Grimwith.

| Come the autumn of AS XXXIX and the populous of Grimwith did travel to the Barony of Wealdsmere for the great Tournament of Ravens. Here, before the dread sable thrones of their Royal Majesties King Thorin and Queen Daegmaer, was Grimwith granted Incipient status. At this same court did the populous beseech their King to appoint Royal Patronage in order that our distant land should have representation before the Throne. In his great wisdom King Thorin laid this task before their Graces Duke Sir Gunnar and the gracious Duchess Gabriell, who did well know our shire and accepted gladly amid much rejoicing of Grimwith, for our Patrons are beloved in this land.

| | |
| One month hence the populous threw a great celebration feast in honor of our Patron’s and our recognition as a new shire before all of An Tir. Many guests traveled from afar to celebrate with us and our hearts were full to have achieved this great honor.

| |
| Thus has been our journey to this seventh day of February in the year of our Lord, Anno Societatus XXXIX as set forth by the hand of the Honorable Lady Arnora Grimsdottir, Seneschale for the Incipient Grimwithshire.
