Baron and BaronessPrima & ViolettaxWe had a wonderful first 2 months; They loved their Investiture and then Twelfth Night which was great! They would like to work on being aware of accessibility with event choices; We had the 1st Stellar Championships this weekend with Heavy and Fencing lists. And at Twelfth Night, we got a new A&S Champ! Their Excellencies would like to formally comend Muirgheal for her service as Seneschal
5
SeneschalMuirghealxA few reminders on process; if you are adding any deputy positions please consult the Seneschal to make sure that we are covering all policy related bases. If you are planning to make any changes with the holders of larder, gold key, iron key, ect.; The Seneschal must know before anything is moved. The Seneschal and the Exchequer are responsible for knowing where all of our physical possessions are being kept and by whom; this is the policy of the Society and the Kingdom as we are legallly accountable for all monies and possessions. If youth are going to be deputies; you must have the 2 deep rule covered and have one of those 2 adults be a warranted youth minister through the kingdom; you will need the Seneschal to assist with this process. Seneschal Call for Letters. Price Increases - April 1, 2024

ChroniclerSilencen/a - sent reportsent report; Greetings from Silence! My apologies for not being present as I am
attending a graduation ceremony.

Firstly, our Chronicler report has been submitted and accepted for the
year. Also, vivat to Dame Olyf for receiving a Sylvan Quill for her
work on The Score, the Kingdom MOL newsletter.

The Q4 2023 edition of the Althing is still in progress. For content,
I currently have several court reports, including the Queen’s
Rapier/Equestrian from April as a catch-up as well as Agincourt and
Investiture. I’ve received the court report for 12th night and will
include it in Q1 2024. I also have a letter from the Exchequer and
some photos submitted from Lady Elinor of Ronan for the memorial page.
I’m going to reach out to Allegra again as she expressed some interest
in submitting words, but I wanted to give her some space and grace due
to personal circumstances. I would like to record the name of the
other gentle from the barony who passed away in 2023 (I only recall
one being mentioned but any names are welcome), so I would love if
someone could email me their SCA name and title to include in the
newsletter. I’m anticipating letters from the baronage and the
seneschal as well, though both offices deserve some leniency as I was
somewhat tardy in requesting letters from them.

As of this afternoon, I have not received any letters of intent nor
any informal contact expressing interest, and I am willing and
prepared to serve a second 2-year term as Chronicler.

In Service and Song,
Silence

Notes from the Baronial SignetFrom the Clerk of the Signet ✒️

Sincere and grateful thanks to the following scribes, calligraphers, artisans, and wordsmiths who have taken assignments (or combat scribed) during my first season in this position.

Mistress Arriana of Wynthrope (Karen)
THL Nicola Beese (Nicola)
THL Lisabetta de Rossi (Ashley)
HRM Gareth Kincaid (Samuel)
Lady Benedicta di Venezia (Harper)
THL Rachel Dalicieux (Rachel)
THL Gesa Wellenstein
Master Alaric McConnal (Robert)
Mistress Amalie Reinhardt (Peri)
Master Cristofano Vecchione (Dave)

Many of these wonderful folks took multiple assignments this winter, and when I offered the use of blanks (for a few assignments with short turnaround) they ALL insisted on making fresh scrolls from scratch!

Their dedication and the quality of their work should be commended in greater ways than mere words (I'm working on that) but for now, please join me in celebrating the scribes of our Barony as well as the industrious cousins who joined our labors.

Yours In Service,
Baron Sasson de Sancta Victoria
Clerk of the Signet for the Barony-Marche of Debatable Lands
