Reign Overview

Royal Whims or Declarations

  • Read into law in court on September 18, 2021: 2021 September 18 Law Changes
  • Read into law in court on September 25, 2021:
    • We, Floki & Elizabeth, suspend Article V, Section 2, Subsection E. of Kingdom law for the duration of Our Reign or until there are no Covid restrictions in Ansteorra, whichever comes first.
    • We, Floki & Elizabeth, Crown of Ansteorra, do herby issue an order of Exile from the Realm for Galen of Bristol, known as Paul Mitchell mundanely. This ruling precludes this individual from attendance or participation in any manner at any SCA activity within the Kingdom of Ansteorra whether it be an event, practice, or official gathering, for any reason, at any time for the duration of the current Reign. This includes a ban on participation in officially recognized Kingdom social media sites, officially recognized Kingdom email lists, and officially recognized Kingdom webpages.
    • After consultation with the Order of the Arc d'Or, Their Majesties Floki & Elizabeth will be changing the name of "Royal Huntsman" to "Royal Hunter." This is in an effort to be more inclusive and use a gender neutral term which could apply to any who hold the title. (October 26, 2021)

Greetings Ansteorra,
This Dream we all share is an amazing part of all of our lives. Many people dedicate time and energy to the SCA. The SCA is truly a wonderful hobby. Hobbies, however, are optional things we do for fun. Safety should not be unreasonably risked for our hobbies. With that in mind, we cannot, in good conscience, ask people to put their health at risk for this hobby.
Due to the increased spread of the coronavirus, Ansteorra will suspend all in-person activities until January 16, 2022. We hope by that time the post-holiday spike will have eased. We will reassess at that time. This includes local practices, meetings, guilds, and demos.
Unfortunately, this means that Crown Tournament is postponed until further notice. We thank Raven's Fort for their efforts with this event and hope to return to the Sable Winged lands in the near future.

January 15, 2022

Greetings Ansteorra,
In evaluating the spread of cases throughout Ansteorra and the increased number of occupied hospital beds, we feel that we cannot put the health and safety of our populace in jeopardy. Therefore, we will continue the suspension of all in-person activities until February 1, 2022. We will re-assess at that time.
As we know that this is becoming a financial hardship to groups and individuals, we have a new financial policy in place. Any event that is canceled due to COVID-19 concerns by either the Kingdom or the local branch will allow for those who pre-paid through PayPal to request a refund for the full amount of the gate fee. The Kingdom will reimburse all groups the PayPal fee that they incur from using this service. We hope that this will lessen the financial burden for all. We hope that we will be able to return to in-person activities quickly once the number of cases has begun to go down. We look forward to visiting with our Ansteorra family soon.
Floki, King
Elizabeth, Queen

January 30, 2022

Greetings Ansteorra, We are continuously evaluating the number of cases and occupied hospital beds. The good news is that the number of cases has started declining. Unfortunately the numbers are still very high. We know that the drop off can be quick so we are going to evaluate the numbers week by week. Therefore, we will continue the suspension of all in person activities until February 8, 2022 and re-evaluate next week. We are really hoping that the cases will be low enough that Kingdom A&S will be able occur.

Elizabeth, Queen

The Words of the Crown

October 2021 Black Star

Greetings, Ansteorra: The last few months have been hectic as we all have been preparing for in-person events again. We would like to extend our love and gratitude for everyone's support; it truly means the world to us. During this pandemic, be sure to be safe and stay flexible as we try to get back to the SCA we all enjoy. Elizabeth, Queen, Floki, King

November 2021 Black Star

Unto All in These Stellar Lands of Ansteorra, We, Floki and Elizabeth, King and Queen of Ansteorra and the Incipient Principality of Vindheim do send greetings. We are extremely thankful to our predecessors, Jason III and Margherita III, for guiding this Kingdom through the challenges we’ve endured in recent times. Our hope is to chart a course towards a stronger future, building upon the mighty efforts of the past. Our reign began in the Shire of Rosenfeld and Coronation was a wonderful return to camping with our fair Kingdom. We are grateful for all of the hard work and love that was put into the event. On the 30th anniversary of Rosenfeld, we were shown many of the things that make this Kingdom great. Our hearts are lighten by what we witnessed. Friendships reinvigorated. Companionship after a long absence. The thrill of battle. We look forward to what the future brings in Ansteorra and hope to see many of you at future events.
Floki, King and Elizabeth, Queen

Namron Protectorate

The Event That Almost Wasn't. Thank you to their Excellencies Micolay and Uliana for being so accommodating and welcoming; and to Sigridr in Kyrra for putting on an outstanding event. I, of course, always love being around everyone again (including Baklava (Jason Drysdale)) in our return to the dream... the Prince and Princess Royal, however, absolutely had a blast. They thoroughly enjoyed all of the classes. Outstanding combat all day long in the beautiful weather, too! Concurrent heavy and rapier tourneys ensured no one was bored, with plenty of pickups afterwards, too. Thank you Valkyries for your enthusiasm in all we do. In evening court, I called up Jarl Timo to gift him a carved sigil of the combined devices of myself and Her Majesty. Timo (as always) strives to be THE embodiment of chivalry; including faith and honor to the King through wise counsel throughout the day, and largess to the Prince Royal, presenting my son a small metal raven's skull so that he may adorn his chain... and further explained to my son the significance of an unadorned chain. As soon as we got home, he told me that I now have to make him his own chain for the adornment, and so that he can stop taking my chains. - Floki

Eldern Hills Samhain

A celebration and divestiture of Baron Gassion and Baroness Delesse and their tireless efforts throughout their tenure. It was evident this weekend that Eldern Hills has been in good hands, as I'm sure it will continue to be with the investiture of Baron Daniel and Baroness Fionn. Did that sword make it home safely? Royal Hunter! Congratulations to Her Grace Margherita de Mantua. Royal Hunter was a well-attended competition of some very talented Ansteorrans. From thrown weapons to crossbows, longbows to atlatlatlatls; there was an abundance of skill all around. If I have not mentioned or tagged anyone, it is NOT out of neglect, but rather brevity. As always, in service to the dream, Floki.
