The '''Crown Province of Ostgardr''' encompasses the 5 boroughs of New York City (Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens and Staten Island) as well as Nassau County and Westchester and Putnam counties. It is the original home of the [[East Kingdom]], since when some [[SCA]] folks moved east about [[1968]] or so, they settled in New York. |
|||
Ostgardr is the only [[Crown Province]] in the East Kingdom, and it is a [[province]] rather than a [[barony]] because the early [[kings]] of the East mostly lived in or around New York City. When, one day the [[gentle]] who won [[crown tournament]] did not live in New York or its environs, it was decided that the lands the king had held for himself would be administered by a [[Viceroy]] and/or [[Vicereine]], who would hold those lands directly at the king's behest. |
|||
There have been 4 [[viceregal]] tenures in the history of the province, and soon there will be a fifth. [[Ian Mitchell of Clan Mitchell]] and [[Katherine Gillesfleur]] have been the Viceroy and Vicereine of Ostgardr for almost 27 years, starting in [[1979]]. They will be succeeded by Alexandre Lerot d'Avigne and Eularia Trewe on Saturday, [[A.S. XLI]], September 9. |
|||
The province has 3 [[canton]]s within it and one [[incipient]] canton as of this writing. [[Lion's End]] encompasses Nassau County, Long Island; [[Northpass]] encompasses Westchester and Putnam counties north of the city limits; [[Whyt Whey]] is the island of Manhattan; and Brooklyn has the incipient canton of [[Brokenbridge]]. |
