These stories were gathered on Facebook. They were in response to the following quest, "Who was the 'First Crown' you remember, and why do you remember them fondly?"
A-E
From Arianna Kateryn Nunneschild
Patrick II and Adriana were on the Throne when I joined... I was so terrified of doing something wrong, that I would never walk in front of the Royal pavilion – I always walked around behind it when I got to that part of the Eric, because I figured if I curtseyed incorrectly or something, Patrick might eat me. :) (Many years later, I actually talked to him for awhile, and discovered he's really quite mild-mannered and nice.)
Timothy and Trista were the first Court I served, and I have always been grateful for that experience… Tim really knows how to welcome newcomers and make everybody feel like part of the family!
F-J
From Fearghus mac Lochloinn
Mine were Guillaume II and Felinah II but I never got to Court at GWW so I can't really say how they affected my game play.
From Igraine d'Abernon
Jason and Natalya were my first as well. Though the first crown event I attended was Kipp and Berengaria!
K-O
From Lynnette de Sandoval del Valle de los Unicornios
I remember several crowns from my early days, but I think of Guy and Troy in 1984 as my first crown. They were the first crown where I was aware of who they were before crown tourney, I was there to see him win crown tourney, there for their coronation, and saw many of their events. It was the first reign where I saw the whole process instead of just having new people show up wearing the royal crowns.
From Morgaine FitzStephen
Jason I and Natalya I were my first. They were so regal and looked so wonderful on the thrones...the old thrones, wearing the old crowns, which for some reason I still prefer. Guess I am a bit set in my ways. I learned most of what I needed to know about the SCA from them.
Only Court I was ever on was as Chief Lady-In-Waiting to Illaria Veltri degli Ansara and her husband Edward Ian Anderson. And that's where I learned the rest. They are very dear people and drove down from An Tir when Baron Jason and I stepped up as Baron and Baroness of Angels. Both Ilaria and Natalya helped me so much that day...such nobility and grace!
From Natalya de Foix
The first monarch I met was His Royal Highness Andrew of Riga (at an Angels Council Meeting, which was also my 1st official SCA event) and the first court I served on was as Lady in Waiting to HRM Carol of Bellatrix, who set what I regard as the ultimate example of beauty, grace, and kindness.

Duke Pat. I went to my first party with SCA peeps and had to stay the night. My ride left me and Pat took me to breakfast and home the next morning. I did not know at the time he was king.
