AS LVI - 2022

April 9 - Cleftlands Baronial Investiture / Armorers and Needleworkers Symposium - Site was Divinity Lutheran Church in Parma Heights with Sir Farthegn as event steward. Almost 200 people attended for a day of classes and crafting. Mistress Aurelia took Lady Eleanore Van Tyne as her apprentice. At the end of the day Baron Crispin and Baroness Gianna stepped down from their positions after having guided the Barony for the past five years, through good times and bad, in sickness and in health, and were made Baron and Baroness of the Court. Rising to the Baronial Coronets, THL Pietro Pietro Nicolo da San Tebaldo and Mistress Aurelia Rosetti became the sixth Baron and Baroness of the Cleftlands. The populace made a great show of piling largesse gifts before the King and Queen. Angharad was inducted into the Order of the Laurel after having been surprised that morning. Claricia and Jaquelinne were awarded the Purple Fret and Robert atte Northclyffe was made a Companion of the Order of the Dragon's Heart. A wonderful and exhausting day.
