Mordain: Expansion of principality text

XXXIII | king = Aaron Preslee Worgenson | queen = Rustique du Sorde | area = Ontario, Canada.| parent = Middle}}

Encompassing most of the province of Ontario, [[Canada]], '''Ealdormere''' became the sixteenth [[kingdom]] of the [[Known World]] in October, [[A.S. XXXIII]] (1998). Before this, from [[A.S. XXIII]] (1988) to [[A.S. XXXIII]], Ealdormere was a [[principality]] of the [[Midrealm]], encompassing several pre-existing [[baronies]].

Ealdormere's symbols are the Trillium (a three-pointed white flower common to the region) and the [[wolf]]. Ealdormereans often use the term "the [[Northlands]]" as a synonym for Ealdormere (this is possibly a reference to the Canadian national anthem, or to the local popularity of [[Norse]] personas).

By long tradition, Ealdormere often fights alongside the Kingdom of the [[Middle]] in the [[Pennsic]] War under their own banners.

== History ==
'''Early Days'''

In [[A.S. IX]], then-[[Count]] [[Finnvarr de Taahe]] and others founded the [[Canton]] of [[Eoforwic]] in Toronto. This was the first [[SCA]] group in to be founded in [[Canada]], and grew quickly. In [[A.S. XII]], the [[Barony|]] of [[Septentria]] and it's [[Canton]] [[Skraeling Althing]] (both now [[barony|baronies]]) are founded.

'''The Ban on Regions'''

The '''[[Ban on Regions]]''', also known as '''King Alen's Ban''' or '''Alen's Proscription''', was an edict published in the April A.S. XX edition of the [[Pale]] forbidding the use of local "regional" organizations beyond those [[Shire]]s and [[Barony|Baronies]] recognized by the [[Crown]]. Combined with a change in [[Middle Kingdom]] law raising the requirements for becoming a [[Principality]], the Ban was punitive measure attempting the halt the growth of "regionalism" in the [[Midrealm]]. Directed specifically against Ealdormere, the Ban had a great impact on Ealdormeran culture and history.

''[[Ban on Regions|More information at the "Ban on Regions"]]

'''Principality'''

In [[A.S. XXVI]], the first Army of Ealdormere, under Prince David I and Princess Tangwystl, marched to the [[Pennsic|Pennsic War]] alongside the army of [[Calontir]]. Although Ontarians had fought together since at least [[Pennsic]] VII this was the first time Ealdormere sent an army to Pennsic under its own banner.

In [[AS XXX]] there was trouble with the Crown banishing two senior peers of [[Ealdormere]]. As the controversy dragged on separatist opinion in [[Ealdormere]] grew to the point that Prince Mordain and Princess Aelflaeda formed the Laws commitee in february, with the aim of becoming a kingdom.

'''Kingdom'''

Ealdormere became the the sixteenth kingdom of the [[Known World]] in October, [[A.S. XXXIII]] with the crowning of King [[David the Greater]], and Queen [[Elina de Braose]]. The full lineage of the Kings and Queens of Ealdormere is detailed in the [[Line of the North]].

The rousing ballad [http://www.bards.ca/songbooks/hector/Rise.htm Rise] by Master [[Hector of the Black Height]] is viewed as the unofficial anthem of the Kingdom of Ealdormere.

In [[A.S. XL]], King Aaron issued a request at his [[coronation]] directed specifically at the [[Fighting Households of Ealdormere]], encouraging them to make and wear [[tabard]]s bearing the Kingdom's arms in time for the [[Pennsic War]]. Previous to this request, these [[Household]]s had worn their own arms, often to the exclusion of all others. His Majesty explained the request as an effort to promote Ealdormere's arms and reputation to the rest of the Known World. Time will tell how well this request is honoured.

Thorbjorn Osis Brandsson

Mordain: Correct the king who knighted Osis

'''Thorbjorn Osis Brandsson''' was a notable [[SCAdian]] who dwelt in what would become the [[Kingdom of Ealdormere]]. His full title was [[Duke]] [[Sir]] Thorbjorn Osis Brandsson, having been in his time [[King]] of the [[Midrealm]] twice and [[Prince]] of Ealdormere. He was knighted in [[A.S. XXVIII]] by King Jafar of the Middle Kingdom.

Sir Thorbjorn is mentioned extensively in the [[Chronicles of Eoforwic]], having been active in that [[canton]] for many years, although originally under the name '''Osis of the Livery'''. It was rumoured widely that his [[addubment]] was withheld by the [[Chivalry]] for years until he styled himself differently. An amusing anecdote in the Fifth [[Book]] of the Chronicles details how Sir Thorbjorn "discovered" his first name and was promptly [[knight]]ed for it. This anecdote has a kernel of truth in it, however the actual situation was much more complicated as one might imagine.

Sir Thorbjorn's second [[reign]] in the Midrealm was notable for the way it started, being the first reign after the [[Interregnum]] of [[A.S. XXX]]. Thorbjorn was also the first Midrealm king to require all three [[order]]s of [[peer|peerage]], the [[Royal Peers]] and the [[Baron|Baronage]] to formally swear [[fealty]] to the [[throne]] at the start of his reign; such formal [[homage]] had previously been done only by the [[Chivalry]].

Sir Thorbjorn's [[blazon]] is: <br>
:''[[Argent]] a [[wolf]]'s head [[cabossed]] on a [[chief]] [[embattled]] [[sable]] three [[cup]]s [[argent]].''

Duke Sir Thorbjorn passed away in [[A.S. XXXIV]] while King of Ealdormere. He is memorialized in a [[grant-level award]] in [[Ealdormere]], the ''Order of Thorbjorn's [[Hammer]]'', which is awarded for excellence in [[martial]] endeavours.

Mordain:

Great to have another Ealdormerean on the wiki!

Thanks for the clarification on Finnvarr's arms. I don't know the gentleman personally, only by reputation (and my, what a reputation!) and can only go by what's publicly available, thus making such mistakes as the difference between his arms and his badge.

[[User:Paul Matisz]] 12:53 EDT 30/05/2006

No worries. He really doesn't like his arms and was contemplating changing them until he got his augmentation to them.

This is an interesting place and hopefully will evolve into a good way to get our history recorded. Nice to meet you virtually.

Mordain: Clarifying Finnvarr's arms.

'''Finnvarr de Taahe''' (alternatively spelled ''Finnvar'', ''Finvarr'' and ''Fionbar'' in some
manuscripts) is a very notable [[SCAdian]] dwelling in the [[Kingdom of Ealdormere]].
Currently his full title is His Grace Sir Finnvarr Duke de Taahe, having been the past monarch
of the Eastrealm and the Middle Kingdom. Finvarr was [[knight]]ed in A.S. VI, raised to the
[[Order of the Pelican]] in A.S. XIII, and has been a [[triple peer]] since A.S. XXXVI, when he
was elevated to the [[Order of the Laurel]]. He was awarded the title of [[Count]] after his first
reign in the [[East Kingdom]] in A.S. VIII, and has been a [[Duke]] since A.S. XII.

Duke Finnvarr is on record in the [[Chronicles of Eoforwic]] as being the first SCAdian active
in what is now [[Ealdormere]]. There are also numerous references to his martial prowess,
including one victory at the Spring Tourney in [[The Barony of Beau Fleuve]] in A.S. XIII as
"...his first victory since he began to fight left-handed." Finnvarr has greatly influenced not only
the culture of [[Ealdormere]], but of several kingdoms of the [[Known Worlde]]. Mentions of
Finnvarr abound in the [[bardic]] and historic works of the [[Northland]]s, perhaps most notably
in the ''Dialogue of Chivalrie'' by [[Etienne de l'Isle]].

His Grace's blazon is: ''Azure a mullet of six points within an orle of mullets of six points OR.'' Actually that's his badge, which he likes more than his arms. His arms are Azure a Drakkar proper within an orle of mullets of six Or,upon the sail of the Drakkar a Trillium (augmentation of arms from the principality of Ealdormere).

House DeTaahe

Mordain:

'''House DeTaahe''' is the personal [[household]] of [[His Grace]] [[Finnvarr de Taahe]], [[KSCA]], [[OL]], [[OP]]. It was originally founded by Finnvarr and his brother, and has grown over the years to a very great size. So large in fact, that it is more often now called Greater House DeTaahe as more and more of Finnvarr's former dependents become [[Peer]]s in their own rights, taking their own [[S.A.P.|dependents]]. Actually it's not all that large as large SCA households go. We use the Greater DeTaahe designation merely to distiguish between the core and the sub-households; which is either a joke or a conspiracy aimed at world supremacy, depending on who you ask. Current active membership (as at May 2006) is approximately 25.

The [[household]] [[badge]] is: ''[[azure]] and [[or]] [[counterchanged]], a [[mullet]] of six points [[or]]''.
