Talk:Aonghais Dubh MacTarbh
Aye Robert, much of that was true. As a member of his household at the time of the Court of Chivalry and someone who attended the mockery, it was the knife in my back that caused me, and much of my household to depart the SCA forever.
Yes, Aonghais was a righteous bastard. Everything you say about his charisma is doubly true. He loved the SCA but he loved power more. But the use of trumped up charges, having the court convened when he was away on his honeymoon, allowing the crown to have a real life deputy DA to present that side and not allowing him to be fairly represented lead to a sad display of what little integrity the kingdom had at that time.
To this day, 31 years later, I can still remember most of it vividly. And I also remember being shunned by the entire Kingdom when I would attend an event. I have never felt so unwelcome in my life.
Anyway, thank you for the walk down memory lane.
Bright Blessings
