Populace Provided Information:

• "The first Royals that I can remember actually meeting were King Stephen I and Queen Jacqueline I (April 1990 to September 1990) - Kingdom of Meridies.

I was privileged to see Her Grace, Jacqueline, at Gleann Abhann's Fall Coronation 2019, just before the Plague shut everything down. This was also the last event that I attended with my mother before she passed away.

After evening court my mother, Lady Zehle Dübel, wanted to say hello to Her Grace, who was seated next to the then new Queen of Gleann Abhann. My mother was using a walker at that time and the terrain prevented her from approaching the thrones. I left my mother's side, leaving her seated in her hybrid walker on the sidewalk. I curtsied to Her Majesty and asked permission to approach. She nodded and gestured for me to come forward. I kneeled in front of her and politely explained that it was not actually Her audience I was requesting, but rather that of Her Grace.

When I explained the situation, Jaqueline immediately stood up, removed her coronet, and handed it to her Lady in Waiting. I watched in awe as she walked over to my mother and knelt beside her, gently taking my mother's hand in hers. I stepped back to give them a bit of privacy, but was still close enough to hear their exchange. It was a beautiful moment as two longtime friends reconnected and spoke of glorious days long passed. They shared condolences of the loss of Duke Stephen and of my Father, the Premier Court Baron of Gleann Abhann, Ladislaus de Brody.

In the darkness, with nothing but distant torchlight, this short reunion quickly became one of those rare SCA moments of enchantment!! Because of the Plague, I only saw my mother once after this before she was taken from us. So essentially this is my best/last memory of her."
