Talk:Gregory & Vivian Investiture 1975

From: Malcolm Alberic
I have In my hands a report to the Earl Marshal that was written and signed by Waldt von Markheim dated 28th November, 1975 it reads as follows :

Sir, I have the honour to report that the Barony of Dreiburgen, on behalf of the Principality of Caid, held a Coroneting Tourney on the 22nd day of November 1975, this day being a Saturday. The event was held at Central Middle School, in Riverside California, and was attended by approximately 150 persons. 26 waivers were collected by Lady Eyana bat-David Nic Chlurain, Principality Mistress of Lists, and Anne des Anneaux.
13 fighters entered the tournament, which was won by Sir Martin the Temperate, Sir William the Lucky being a finalist and Baron Waldt von Markheim and Phillip of Meade being Semi-finalists. (See the attached Lists diagram)
Weapons were inspected by Baron Waldt von Markheim, Sir William the lucky and Sir Martin the Temperate
Lord Thomas of Waverly, a new fighter, was qualified by Sir Martin the Temperate but did not otherwise participate in the event.
There were no infractions of or exceptions to the Rules of the Lists.
Baron Waldt von Markheim was in charge of the event, and Sir Martin the Temperate, with the aid of Sir William the lucky, was Marshal in charge of the field, Baron Waldt von Markheim being too much occupied with preparations for the Banquet following to be able to devote his attention to that task. Einar aus Enwelt, Robert du Bois, and robert Mac Chlurain of the Isles also assisted in performing the duties of Marshal.

Given this report and the fact that Natalya de Foix remembers Gregory & Vivian Investiture being “in a courtyard in San Diego” I submit that there has been a mix up between Coronet Investiture and Coronet Tourney.

• Well, the list of Princes on the Caid History website show Martin and Arabella receiving the Coronets on November 20th, 1976, and Martin and Neptha receiving the Coronets on November 19th, 1977. November 22, 1975, was a Saturday, as were the other two dates as well. Since Martin was the last Prince of Caid, the 1977 date is logically correct. Looking at the calendars, the Coronetings were happening in November, the Coronet Tourneys in September. I hate to challange my bud Waldt but the date quoted doesn't seem reasonable, although the rest of the report sounds spot on.
