Night Under The Town March 30-April 01, 2012

Barony Of Lochmere The Year Is 1558 And England Has A New Queen! Alas, There Is Little Time For Rejoicing As The Kingdom’s Coffers Are Bare. The Town Of Smeewick Is Not Immune To The Kingdom’s Economic Woes. Many Of The Townspeople Have Spent Their Life Savings To Provide For The Everyday Needs Of Their Families. In A Desperate Attempt To Provide An Inheritance For Their Heirs, Many Of Them Have Pledged Their Remaining Assets To A Tontine (A Legally Binding Agreement In Which The Signers Agree That The Last Person Standing Gets All The Pledged Assets). But In Order To Have A Chance At Collecting The Tontine, One Must First Have Something To Pledge. The Soldiers, Less Fortunate Than Most, Have Decided To Conduct A Raid On Nearby Villages To Increase Their Wealth So That They Too Have Something To Contribute. Website: Http://Lochmere.Atlantia.Sca.Org/Events/Nott2012/ Martial Activities: The First Part Of The Day Will Be Army Training Exercises In Preparation For The Coming Battle And To Separate All Fencers Into Two Units. After Training, Everyone Who Wishes To Participate In The Tontine Will Need To Bring A Token For The Chest In Which The Treasure Will Be Kept. (The Real Treasure Will Be The Chest, Hand-Crafted By Master Reynard De La Rochefoucald.) All Participants Will Then Sign The Tontine. There Will Be A Combat Archery Battle In The Woods, A Woods/Capture Flag Resurrection Battle, And A Town Battle. Not Everyone Is Willing To Wait Several Years To Collect The Treasure! Far Better To Eliminate Some Of The Competition Early. Dueling Is Illegal In The Town (So Don’t Get Caught….) And Anyone Caught Dueling Will Be Put In Jail And Will Have To Figure Out How To Get Out. The Last Fencer Standing Alive And Free At The End Collects The Treasure. For More Information Concerning Martial Activities, Please Contact Lady Symone De La Rochelle (Rochelle Newman) At 301-254-7510 Or Rnwmn1[AT]Gmail.Com. Arts And Sciences Activities: Competitions: Elizabethan Accessories (Any Medium); Elizabethan Embroidery; And Best Novice Entry Of Any Medium. As Always, Documentation Is

PREIDDEU ANNWN: "The Spoils of Annwyn”

I praise the Lord, Prince of the realm, King. His sovereignty has extended across the world's tract

Equipped was the prison of Gweir in the Mound Fortress, throughout the account(?) of Pwyll and Pryderi.

No one before him went into it, into the heavy blue/gray chain; a faithful servant it held.

And before the spoils of Annwfyn bitterly he sang. And until Judgment shall last our bardic invocation.

Three fullnesses of Prydwen we went into it. Except seven none rose up from the Fortress of the Mound.

Golychaf wledic pendeuic gwlat ri. [r]y ledas ypennaeth dros traeth mundi. bu kyweir karchar gweir ygkaer sidi.

trwy ebostol pwyll aphryderi. Neb kyn noc ef nyt aeth idi.

yr gadwyn trom lak kywirwas ae ketwi. Arac preideu annwfyn tost yt geni. Ac yt urawt parahawt ynbardwedi.

Tri lloneit prytwen yd aetham ni idi. nam seith ny dyrreith ogaer sidi.
