==Timeline==
===Lesser Officers===
Ansteorra was formed in 1979, and even that year, there were discussions held about the Kingdom splitting into three Principalities. Conversations arose on a periodic basis for the next forty years, but it is generally agreed that there have been three major groundswellings of support for a principality in the Northern Region.  This page will focus on the successful efforts in the Northern Region towards Principality, but the other Regional principality attempts are noted.

The Northern Region Principality discussion continues on regional email lists.
Date: Wed, Apr 28, 2021 at 10:28 AM
* February: Sir [[Burke Kyriel MacDonald]] sends the following message to all the Northern groups: ''"Greetings to the Northern Region of Ansteorra. As most of you know over the last six months I have been conducting a series of educational round tables on the issues of principality here in Northern Ansteorra. Throughout these discussions it became clear that there is a great deal of support for the idea of creating a formal principality committee here in the North. But because not everyone living in the North attended one of these discussions, there is no way to truly know if this is the majority opinion of the populace in the North. To this end I have spoken at length with Their Majesties (both past and present) and the Kingdom Seneschal, Master Richard and I have proposed conducting an opinion poll of the people in the north to see if there truly is enough interest to start a more formal process. Both the Crown and Master Richard have no objections as long as the process is conducted in a fair and open manner. To make sure that the survey is fair and open, I have asked Countess [[Vanessa de Verona]] and Master [[Lucais du Belier]] to be the other members of the survey review committee, this should address any questions as to the validity and fairness of the survey. I have also set the closing date of the survey for the end of March to give everyone a fair chance to participate if they want to. The survey is available for anyone living in Northern Ansteorra and is not restricted to paid members only. When the survey date closes the survey review committee will meet and prepare a report of the results that will be made available to everyone. It should be stressed that this is NOT the formal poll that would be conducted to create a Principality, but is an opinion poll to see if there is enough interest to start a more formal process. I have sent copies of the survey to all of the local seneschal's of the Northern region and have asked their help in distributing them. I will also be making the survey available for download through a web page I hope to have up early this week. I ask that everyone who lives in the North and is interested to seek out a copy of the survey and fill it out if you wish. Finished surveys can be given to any of the survey review committee members, your local seneschal, or mailed to Master Lucais du Belier. Please fill out only one survey each, so that we can get a true representation of the populace's feelings in the results. If anyone has any questions please email me or post them to this list and I will try and answer them as quickly as possible. Thank you for your time. - Baron Sir Burke Kyriell Mac Donald, OP"''

Greetings Ansteorra!

As many of you heard, the Board of Directors voted unanimously to approve the proposed Principality of Vindheim in Ansteorra's northern region.

What an exciting time!  We have an incipient Principality in our borders!  Congratulations Vindheim!

There is much work to be done before the Principality is fully invested with a Coronet.  Many officers are working behind the scenes to create as smooth of a transition as possible.  We thank you in advance for your patience as we work out details.

Currently, the first Coronet List date is set for December 11, 2021.  As such, we need event bids!  Unfortunately, we do not know what the future will hold as far as the reopening with the pandemic, so we would like bids for both indoor and outdoor venues. 

Event bids for the first Coronet list are due *July 30, 2021*.

Additionally, because we have a new Principality, we have new officer warrants.  When we submitted the Principality proposal, a list of proposed officers was included to prove that we had qualified people to hold those offices.  However, we believe that these Greater Offices for the Principality should be open for all to apply.  As such, all Greater Officer positions for Vindheim will be open for  applications.  Each Kingdom Greater Officer will set their respective deadlines, but all officers will be ready to assume their roles on or before December 11, 2021.  Please consult with the appropriate Kingdom Greater Officer for more information.
