Champions

The Defender of Terra Pomaria is the oldest of all championships attainable in the barony and was started while Terra Pomaria was still a shire in AS XXV/1990. Although not at first, the defendership was soon determined a little more than a year after its creation annually at the Long and Short of It Tournament. The first defender, Angus McClure, was determined after a series of months-long fighter's practices that included tournament sessions eventually eliminating all contenders but one. Since its establishment, all denfenderships have been held annually except one. The fourteenth defender, Angus McClure, who also was the first defender, had to abdicate the title after winning the Summits Fall Coronet Tournament in 2003 as he had been invested as Tanist and heir to the Principality of the Summits arising in a conflict of interest. Baron William and Baroness Elspeth released him of his defendership at the next Terra Pomaria event, Baronial Revolt, and after consultation with the Mistress of the Lists, it was deemed suitable that the runner-up to the last defender tournament, Brian of Ledbury, should be invested as the new defender to finish Angus McClure's tenure.
