This event began the partnership between Atenveldt and Caid which eventually led to Estrella War. The declaration of Peace between the Principality of Caid and the Principality of the Sun was presented complete save the illumination of the initial letter. The Caidans declared it should be blue, and the populace of the Sun insisted on red. Over this trivial matter, peace changed to hostilities and many melee scenarios were fought.
18 Caidan fighters took the field beside their Prince, Martin the Temperate; against some 28 Atenveldt fighters under Prince Ivan due Grae (who recieved tactical advice from Duke Richard of Mont Royal, aka Richard the Short). The Caidan forces were defeated in the open field battle; followed by a battle high up on a rocky desert hill; and ending with a couple of pick-up battles in which several Aten fighters switched over to even the sides.
Wisely, before closing court, Bjo of Griffin completed the peace pact with the initial letter emblazoned in red and blue, and it could finally be signed by both princes.
The following year was the first Burro Creek War.
Memories
In those days Viscont (later Duke) Gregory of York and I were "tourney bums" and "war dogs". We spent every weekend traveling from Calafia to any war or tournament available. I don't think I missed one in a 3 year period.
At this war, I camped with Mistress Flavia Beatrice Carmigniani and Master John ap Griffin. Their 10 year old daughter was a little sweetheart; and as I planned to fight in the next Coronet list and needed someone to fight for, on a "lark" I asked 10 year old Lorissa du Griffin if I could wear her favor. The rest is, as they say, history.
This occured there at Caid-Atenveldt Peace Mission, at Estrella Mountain Park; where over the years so many notable things in my life occured.
