Attention - All armored and rapier combatants of Vindheim!
Her Sanguine Highness and I have coordinated with the event steward of Vindheim Summer War Maneuvers and he has graciously created time in the day's busy schedule to host Our Prince and Princess' Championships! Both of Our tournaments are intended to highlight three things that We see as important aspects of a champion: Personal Skill at Arms, Leadership, and the Trust of their Companions in Arms. As with most of Our predecessors, we will expect Our Champions to attend us at the majority of the events We plan to attend, or coordinate with Us to have someone stand in for them for any event they cannot, as well as be Our sounding board, one of Our counselors, and stalwart companions during Our reign so the winner of each tournament may not be chosen as the Champion, as We will be watching during the bouts to observe for particular skill, honor, and excitement on the field.
Both tournaments will also require a declaration of intent from a current citizen of Vindheim, sent to Our emails ( prince@vindheim.ansteorra.org and princess@vindheim.ansteorra.org ), no later than noon on Wednesday July 22nd, to be permitted entry as a competitor. That being said, We invite one and all to come, bring your preferred weapons of war, and fight as participants and armies for those entering to be Our champions.
HSH Alexandre's Prince's Champion-
His Sanguine Highness wishes to reach back into the history of the North and host a one-day revival of an old but fondly remembered tradition once known as "Northern Regional Warlord", with a slight modification. All those seeking the title of Prince's Champion will be randomized onto a bracket and then be released to rally and fight with armies from the pool of those not competing to their cause and defeat all others who would stand in their way. There will be no minimum or maximum limit on the number of fighters a team may hold per round and once each round ends by having the last man standing, each fighter returns to the overall pool to be recruited for the next round until only two competitors remain to clash in a grand melee. In the event of a 3-way final, the first team to lose twice in a round robin style pairing will be eliminated, leaving the final two teams to compete for the title.
HSH Yzabeau's Princess' Champion-
Her Sanguine Highness invites all who wish to vie for the honor to her Her personal champion to form small armies, and lead them to victory through the use of strategy and coordination in a point buy style. Each entrant will be allotted a total of 5 points to create their army with Martial Peers being worth 3 points, Martial Grants of Arms being worth 2 points, and those having been awarded Martial Awards of Arms or below being worth 1 point. The team captain does not count toward these totals but MUST take the field and fight with their team. Competitors will be placed into a randomized bracket and compete until only two teams remain to fight to the last man standing. In the event of a 3-way final, the first team to lose twice in a round robin style pairing will be eliminated, leaving the final two teams to compete for the title.
We look forward to this glorious day of combat and chivalry and can't wait to see you all there!
Alexandre and Yzabeau,
Prince and Principessa of Vindheim
P.S. We welcome @here to share this post far and wide to all your friends in an effort to make this first Vindheim Summer War Maneuvers the best it can be!
July 27, 2026
Summer War Maneuvers certainly lived up to its name, with Oklahoma's summer heat making for a challenging day on the field. Even so, every combatant met the melees with honor and courtesy, and the tournaments were a wonderful display of the chivalry that defines our Society. We are deeply grateful to everyone who fought, marshaled, taught, served, or cheered from the sidelines.
It is our great pleasure to recognize those who have earned the honor of serving as our champions. Please join us in congratulating Centurion Karl Hungus, our Champion to His Highness, and Lord Oddr Snorrason, my Champion. We look forward to the coming months with these noble warriors standing beside us.
We are also delighted to announce that Honorable Lady Toinette de Cambrai has accepted the role of Court Musician for our reign. Her talent and generosity will bring joy and beauty to our courts, and we cannot wait to share her gifts with the people of Vindheim.
To everyone who braved the Oklahoma summer to join us, you made the day a success, and we are honored to reign over such a remarkable populace. We can't wait to see the event grow next year... perhaps with a little more air conditioning!
We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Centurion Gunnarr Bjornulfsson for his flexibility throughout the day. As event steward, he handled every challenge with good humor and grace, helping ensure the event was a success despite the heat. We are grateful for all of his hard work.
As discussed in court, His Highness and I would like to extend a heartfelt invitation to all citizens of Vindheim to share in a moment of honor during court. Throughout our reign, the Sword of State stands as a symbol of the strength and unity of our principality. We invite any citizen of Vindheim that is over 18, including those that have been awarded the Sanguine Bowl, to take part in that symbolism by holding the Vindheim Sword of State during court.
Yzabeau & Alexandre
Principessa & Prince of Vindheim
