	* Prior to winning his first Crown Tournament, Mikael went to Malakai during a fighter practice, where Malakai was doing Tarot readings. Without revealing his question, he asked for a reading. Malakai did so, and said that the question was surely related to his chivalric prowess. He said, "You are doing well, and if you continue with it, you will be King." The next Crown ~~Tournamenet~~, Mikael won. For all of his reigns, Mikael named [[Malaki]] his Court Magician.		* Prior to winning his first Crown Tournament, Mikael went to Malakai during a fighter practice, where Malakai was doing Tarot readings.

	Mikeal was king when I was ~~baron~~ of the Steppes. We were working together, organizing the Steppes 12th Night court. It was made complicated, because there was an award going to the Royal herald. There was an award going to OUR herald. There was an award going to the woman who was doing all the scrolls. (The awards could not be on the printed list for court, as would normally be the case, because the recipients would see it.) Mikael let me take care of this arranging.

	I gave Dau'd a story - you are going to call for Tadgh at this point - and that there was a cue which I would give. I explained for Tadhg that he waas going to call up Dau'd, and I would have a signal. Of course, I couldn't tell him that the real signal would be him receiving his award! I will give you a cue, I told him. I told Gwenlian, here's the list of all the awards. And of course, someone else was doing the calligraphy on the one for her.

	I had this wonderful, Richeleiu feeling, as I'm having to get all these stories going, until near the end of that court, when I was called up! Mikael had listend to me talking about enjoying keeping all of my stoies straight, and the intrigue... and that's how I became Lion of Ansteorra!<BR>		I had this wonderful, Richeleiu feeling, as I'm having to get all these stories going, until near the end of that court, when I was called up!

	My tale is of two years ago at Namron Beltane (2018). Mikael had come in for the knighting ceremony for Daniel, who was a squire of his lineage. It was a noteworthy trip, to travel in from the Pacific Northwest. I was there at the event, and was visiting with Orm and Megan at the pavilion. All of a sudden, just behind me, I hear this high, squeaky voice coming from the dark. "Be very afraid! Because you cannot see where the voice is coming from!" I turned, and there he was, crouched down, holding a leafy tree branch before him. This was a standard Prootwaddle tactic, you see, to get a branch and hide behind it. "You can't see me ! Be very afraid!" he said. It was his way of referencing decades back to the Barbarian event. He has a prootwaddle connection! (You have heard [[Ivarr runamagi]] explain where his name comes from - this was also the Prootwaddles at the [[Bjornsborg]] events.)<BR>		My tale is of two years ago at Namron Beltane (2018).

	Mikael was the King at the event where I met my now-husband. It was one of my first Ansteorran events (hosted by Eldern Hills, held in Brad Leah) and he came into court in a doublet and flowered surfer shorts. Before they got started, he took the throne, had the Crown hanging from the back of the throne, and one leg thrown over the side of the chair. He was so relaxed and laid back. It amused me and made me realize that maybe the Crown (here in Ansteorra) wasn't as scary and stuffy as I was used to from Caid.		Mikael was the King at the event where I met my now-husband.

	The first time I fought Duke Mikey, I waded into him florentine (2 swords) ... we did a flurry... a long flurry to my count. As we finished the pass, he cocked his head sideways, smiled, and I wondered if I missed calling a shot. We circled a bit, then moved for the second pass. It was much the same as the first pass, but over twice as long... he wrapped me up and hit me... then 3 more hits to boot.

	Me, being young and dumb, said, "If it matters to you, you killed me on 7, 8,9, & 10." His reply was, "Sorry man, it was already in motion... great dance though." I’ve referred to it as a dance ever since...that was 1995-ish. This exchange was the makings of a lot of happy for a nobody fighter for a LONG time afterwards.

	At my first event in 1991, someone pointed out who he was. (A former king of Ansteorra) During the event, he served feast with other servers and that pretty much set my expectations of royals: after serving as crowns, they should continue to serve. There was also an instance at that event where he was dancing on a table — but I don’t have a lot of memory about how that all happened....		At my first event in 1991, someone pointed out who he was.
