To understand the roots of the Kingdom, we must start with our original kingdom, Atenveldt. In the 70's, there were only 4 kingdoms, East, West, Atenveldt and Mid-Realm. The Society itself was less than a decade old. At the time, there was a push from all levels to make more kingdoms. Thus, our Kingdom came into being in an incredibly short period of time. In November '76, Deaton & Care-Cheri, TRM Atenveldt, formed the Region of Ansteorra. In '77, a petition for principality status was signed at Steppes. There was only time for 3 princes in Ansteorra, for at the end of 1½ years, Ansteorra was elevated to Kingdom status. In order to be a Kingdom, however, peers are needed. In March '79 an event was held called "The Tournament of Chivalry" but became known as "The Day of the Laurel". 8 Laurels and 1 Pelican were elevated that day-a record still held by Ansteorra. In May '79, the 1st Crown List was held in Bryn Gwlad.
