Crown Tourney

[msmemory_archive]

61 entrants, it appears, in Spring Crown Tournament. I'm waiting for confirmation, which I expect to get, that we will do the usual procession before the list.

(Do folks want me to post the re-ordered list closer to the tourney date, once I've shuffled around Master Phillip's list?)

The list was put together by Master Phillip, the kingdom seneschal, and I don't think he's especially tuned in to the whole rank "thing." I'll be fixing it.

ETA: He's got them in groups, and alphabetical within the groups. It's not random.

ohhhh, ok. somewhat makes sense.

And we cannot forget the ranks of the consorts. IIRC, they count too. For example, Baron Dietrich would rank higher because his consort is Mistress Katherine Barr. I could be wrong on that though.

thanks!

That depends on the wishes of the crown, and varies from Crown Tourney to Crown Tourney. The last one I fought in, I started higher because I was fighting for a Baron with a grant, and only had an AOA and Crescent myself.

The last bunch that I have been at/seen lists for have not counted the consort's rank, though.

Yes, that is true, when Yesungge was still a Huscarl as highest rank we lined up on his fighting award not my rank, otherwise we'd had been higher up in the list :) Most time is it the 'fighting' award that determine the position - Royal Peerages counting as a fighting awards.

This crown is a bit south for our participation, hopefully we'll be lined up again in the fall.

Only once did we line up by "the higher ranking member of the couple." Usually we line up by the rank of the fighter. In the case of you and that baron, you were both entered IIRC and lined up according to the rank of the senior fighter.

The time with Fergus,we were lined up by his rank. With Constantine, yes, we got his rank cause we were both fighting.

You see, there are multiple barons in my life. ;)

That's only true if the Crown wants it that way. In the vast majority of the Crowns in which my lord husband has championed me, we've been lined up according to his awards, not mine.
