Greetings unto all intending to participate in the upcoming Crown Tournament. His Majesty, King Uther has decreed that the format of the Challenge round will follow the style of West Crown Tournaments.

OP Observations
Duke Sven Gunnarson is our new Crown Prince! Inspired by his lady, Duchess Signy Oksendahl, Duke Sven was victorious in the final round over Sir Hathawolf Spearbreaker who was fighting for Lady Kendra the Traveller. It was Duke Sven's fourth victory in the An Tirian Crown lists moving him into elite company with Duke Thorin Njallson (6 reigns) and Duke Davin Stronghand (4 reigns). An Tirians Duke James Greyhelm, Duke Trelon of the Wood, and Duke Uther Schiemann der Hunt also have at least four reigns, but those reigns were not in An Tir.
Archos Burning Bear won the Kingdom Protector tournament to become the first person in An Tir history to serve as Kingdom Protector twice.
HL Khaidu Naranaimorin became the premiere Equestrian Champion of An Tir.
Squires' Tournament Results
We had 68 fighters in the list this time.
The Chivalry prize went to Aziz, Squire to Faris Tariq Abu Zayd. Most Wins (53) went to Aleksii, Squire to Sir Loehtgar. Aleksii also had the most fights (56); however, since squires can only win one of the prizes, Most Fights was awarded to Ariel de Courteny, Squire to Lady Bolverk, who had the second highest total with 46 fights.
Thanks also to those who donated prizes - Baroness Saewynn, HL Shaughnessy and Greydragon!
The individual results are listed below. My apologies for any strange formatting - my email program seems to have problems with this. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Please feel free to forward.

Thank you, An Tir for coming to Aquaterra to support our event and witness the important tournament which named our next Heirs to the Throne (Duke Sven and Duchess Signey).
Thank you, An Tir, for your patience and courtesy to our gate crew.
Thank you, An Tir, for coming with light hearts and laughter to lend an atmosphere of joy to this event.
Thank you, An Tir, for your courtesy in following the site rules which made the event safe and care-free for everyone on constable watch.
Thank you, An Tir, for your willingness to follow the change in curfew time without resentment and anger which made the event enjoyable for your neighbors and the autocrats.
Thank you, An Tir, for giving of yourselves when volunteers were needed.
Thank you, An Tir, for following the modern fire rules and laws for Snohomish County Administration were well pleased with this event and the SCA's management of a large crowd and would welcome the SCA back for other large events.
Thank you, An Tir, for using the pastures with respect. For the owners of this working dairy farm were most impressed with our people and would welcome us back to this site with open arms.
And thank you, An Tir for having fun, but being willing to pack out quickly and cleanly. The autocrats were able to return the site in an agreeable state to the Solar family before dark.
What a fun event. You made it entirely enjoyable for the autocrats as well as yourselves! Thank you!

Seneschal of Aquaterra
Her Excellency Sæwyn wrote: "Our new Kingdom Protector is Burning Bear."
Fionn responds: Hurrah for Lord Burning Bear! (BTW- someone should consider putting out the flames on our new KP, and re-clothe him... <WEG>)
Her Excellency continues: "Earl Sir Edward Ian Anderson was elevated to the Order of the Laurel."
Fionn responds: Not only was Sir Edward elevated to the Order of the Laurel, but he was granted that honour as An Tir's very first home grown Equestrian Laurel!
In addition to Sir Edward's 'Laurelling', both he and HL Togrul Guiscard, along with Sir Jerald of Galloway and HL Ceara Roisin were granted the Ordo Equis, Ah Tir's new grant level award for Skill and Dedication to the Equestrian Arts!
Hurrah for the pioneer Laurel!
Three cheers for the new members of the Ordo Equis!
