A SHORT HISTORICAL OUTLINE OF THE KINGDOM OF ATENVELDT
------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL SCA PRE-HISTORY:
The SCA started on 1 May, 1966. The first knight of the SCA
(David the Herald) was dubbed by Siegfried von Hoefflichkeit
at this event.
On 25 March, 1967, Fulk de Wyvern dubbed Henrik of Havn a knight,
and crowned him the first King in the SCA.
The rank of Duke was created on 6 January, 1968, along with the
Order of the Rose, the Order of the Laurel, and MSCA.
On 21 July, 1968, the first King of the East, Bruce of Cloves, was
crowned.
The SCA was officially incorporated on 4 Oct., 1968.
On 4 January, 1969, Grants of Arms, Awards of Arms, and Court Barons
were created by King Caradoc (ap Cador) of the West.
On 4-6 July, 1969, the first Crown Tourney of the Middle Kingdom was
held. Their first Coronation was on 7 Sept. 1969, with Cariadoc of the
Bow their first King. (He later became King of the East, after being
King of the Middle and declaring War on the East, thus declaring war
on himself, and starting Pennsic War). Ioseph of Locksley and Richard
Ironsteed join the SCA, at Santa Barbara WesterCon.
On 22 October, 1972, the Order of the Pelican was created. It was
released to the giving of individual Kingdoms on 9 July 1974.
In May of AS XXV, the SCA became a recognized sub-culture, with the
accession of Sir Stephan of Bellatrix, son of Duke Paul of Bellatrix,
to the Throne of the West.
ATENVELDT HISTORY:
The first Tourney was held on 7 December, 1969, at McCormick Ranch
Park in Scottsdale, and the second Tourney, which chose the first
Prince of the Principality of Atenveldt (now the Sun) was held at
the same location on February 22, 1970. The BoD voted us a Kingdom
on 19 April, 1970, giving us Caerthe and the branch in New Orleans,
and the whole Southern USA to the Atlantic Ocean.
The official "Kingdom Day" is 18 January.
"Atenveldt" was a Principality first, and there is some arguement
as to when or if it ever was a Barony. Robert Roundpounder was the
first Prince.

-----------------------------------------------------------
THE ROLL OF PRINCES AND PRINCESSES OF ATENVELDT
Robert I and Katrin 04/12/70 AS IV to 06/21/70 AS V
Robert Roundpounder, the first Prince of Atenveldt, crowned
himself as Prince, saying that he had won it with his hands
and prowess, and nobody else had the right to give him what
-he- had won by "right of arms." This tradition was continued
in this Kingdom, and written into first Kingdom Law.
The Principality established the Order of Light, a general
Service/Arts award for the Principality of Atenveldt. This
was the first local Order in the SCA...and we were the first
-Principality- in the SCA, too....we went on to establish
many precedents for the SCA, some good...and some not so good.
One person has quipped: "Atenveldt exists so the Board of
Directors has something to keep them occupied...."
Robert only had one real problem as Prince....if a Dallas
Cowboys game was on TV, the WORLD STOPPED while he watched
the game. He wrote very good poetry, too.
Establishment of the "Locksley Monsters." First two were
Sir Carole the Grim and Sir Dale the Small (dsd).
Arthur I and Angela 06/21/70 AS V to 10/21/70 AS V
It was right around in here that William of the Shire built a
Viking longboat. It was about 25 feet long, with a sail. We took
it out on Lake Pleasant, in a VERY brisk wind, and it damn near
out ran the (motor powered) MCSO boat......the Sheriff's thought
it was GREAT, but asked us to get it registered.....
Robert II and Kathleen I 10/21/70 AS V to 01/16/71 AS V
William of the Shire made mead. It was -very- good mead, tho it had
a bad habit of escaping from the bottles and crawling across the floor
of his kitchen. He would strain it thru an old sock. We never asked
if he had washed the sock first or not. One post-revel, as we were
cleaning up the Hall, a Lady that later became Michael of Moria's
second wife was sitting on one of the tables with a rather far-away
look about her. I asked her if anything was wrong, and she looked at
me with great limpid eyes (she had KILLER eyes anyway) and said, in
a -very- tiny voice: "I have a brick in my head." Then she fell over.
(Note: The Crown Prince/ess of the Kingdom ruled as Prince and
Princess from 01/16/71 until Post-Regency.)

THE ANNOTATED ROLL OF KINGS AND QUEENS OF ATENVELDT:
-----------------------------------------------------------
King and Queen from to
-----------------------------------------------------------
Richard and Felicia 01/16/71 AS V to 06/22/71 AS VI
Felicia MacCluarain aka "Great White Elephant."
Atenveldt covers 27 states of the USA, from the Colorado River
to the Atlantic Ocean. There is talk of "Manifest Destiny,"
but Calafia goes with the West.
Richard (Ironsteed) had no thought of entering the first Crown,
and hadn't even brought his own armor that day....but he wound
up fighting anyway, and winning the first Crown of the Kingdom
of Atenveldt.
The custom of "finking the King" grew, being a car FULL of SCA
types pulling up to the King's home in the middle of the night,
jumping out and shouting, in unison, "THE KING IS A FINK!" and
then tearing away as fast as possible.....
THE WELDON HOUSE DYNASTY:
Arthur and Irving 06/22/71 AS VI to 12/03/71 AS VI
Irving MacChluarain. This name was "hung" on her in a demented
game of Monopoly at Weldon House one night.
Weldon House was an SCA "commune" where most of the Hot Sticks
lived, at one time or another. The trebuchet was set up in the
front yard, to the amazement of passers-by, at 32nd St and
Weldon, Phoenix AZ. Michael of Moria got pretty drunk one night
and began to swing back and forth on the end of the trebuchet's
arm. All the other SCA folk at Weldon House that night (about
15 people) got tiki-torches, rakes and pitchforks and gathered
round the base, at which point Michael began doing his Cornered
Frankenstein Monster act, growling and pawing at the
mob......the mundanes marveled at the scene.
Joseph and Kathleen 12/03/71 AS VI to 06/??/72 AS VII
Kathleen MacChluarain.
Joseph was the only un-belted King of Atenveldt. He had his
origins in the Weldon House crowd, but was on the outs with
them. This caused many problems.
Stephen and Shannon 06/??/72 AS VII to 12/03/72 AS VII
Won the Crown at his first Tourney.
Belted on the field.
First codification of Kingdom Law.
Monster Milk-And-Cookies: someone, usually the Lady or the
Chatelaine of House Locksley, would walk out onto the Tourney
field (usually in the middle of the excitement) with a plate of
milk and chocolate chip cookies. She would then shout "COOKIE"
and step back. The Locksley Monsters would take over the field
and eat cookies and drink milk while someone read them a nice
children's story....at an average weight of 250-300 lbs. each
(out of armour), who would argue with them?
Arthur and Lorelei 12/03/72 AS VII to 04/14/73 AS VII
Lorelei of Zagamar, aka "Hot Flash." She was the quintessence
of "cute," "beautiful" and "nice," all at the same time.
We used to go into the Village Inn pizza parlor on Apache Blvd.
in Tempe after Tourneys. This was also the hangout of the local
frat-rats. Picture Baron Sir Ivanof von Schloss, in full Roman
armour, kicking open the door, shouting "Wine for my horses and
fodder for my men!" throwing a waitress over his shoulder and
demanding the back-room for the SCA folks. We always got it.
“THE RISE OF THE CRUSADENES:
Reynard and Kathleen 04/14/73 AS VII to 09/29/73 AS VIII
Kathleen MacChluarain
Monster Ball....this was developed by the Locksley Monsters,
being either a) passing a lady back and forth (throwing her
to each of them across a circle of Monsters (yes, they were
THAT big), or playing with Deaton's 250 lb. anvil, or play-
ing "Aten Football" using a Volkswagen or something like a
tree-trunk as the "ball" and playing it in armour, with
melee rules....pretty crazy stuff.
Reynard tended to be pretty crazed. There was talk of the
"Reynard Doll: wind it up and it wins the Tourney." He was
-blindingly- fast on the Field. He liked to "play ape" and
swing about in trees, hooting and gibbering.
The first Crusadene King. The "Crusadenes" wore tabards of
"Argent, a Latin Cross gules," and, originally, had sworn to
make pilgrimage to Jerusalem and stand vigil over the Holy
Sepulcher, in armour, for 24 hours.
Robert and Sequora 09/29/73 AS VIII to 06/22/74 AS IX
Sequora of Zagamar
Reynard II and Kathleen II 06/22/74 AS IX to 01/12/75 AS IX
Robert II and Sequora II 01/12/75 AS IX to 06/22/75 AS X
First Grand Outlandish (?)
Tyr Ysgithyr becomes a Barony.
Pontius and Sharazon 06/22/75 AS X to 12/13/75 AS X
Not actually from the Weldon House crowd, but ran with them.
The Dark Horde appears in Atenveldt.
The Dwarves appear in the Outlands.
Denis and Samantha 12/13/75 AS X to 06/06/76 AS XI
Denis rips in two and eats Deaton's rattan broadsword, thereby
giving the Locksley Monsters a BIG reputation....
The first Locksley King.
The second Crusadene King.
Caid Invasion (about four minutes into opening Court....and
live steel came out (well? It's what -we- wear at Court!)
END OF THE WELDON HOUSE DYNASTY:
Deaton I and Care Cheri I 06/06/76 AS XI to 12/18/76 AS XI
Care Cheri is a MacChluarain, too. Too many sheep here!
The third Crusadene King.
Jonathan and Lyn 12/18/76 AS XI to 03/13/77 AS XI
The fourth Crusadene King.
Abdicated at first Caid Invitational at Estrella Park, the
first Estrella War (not counted in Estrella War numbering
system).
Principality of Atenveldt renamed The Sun, and a separate
Coronet List established.
REGENCY:
Regency of Deaton Claymore (1st in SCA)
Tourney was "chaired" but not "reigned over" by Ioseph of
Locksley, then Laurel King of Arms. Deaton did not wish to
enter, but the fighters there present requested him to do so.
There were 66 fighters in this List. Deaton defeated Denis for
the Crown in a light rain. As the final blow was struck, a
rainbow appeared over their shoulders.
Deaton II and Care Cheri II 03/13/77 AS XI to 08/13/77 AS XII
Meridies becomes a Kingdom. Deaton and Care's Ducal Coronets
cost them an estimated $11,000 in expenses. Deaton crushed a
helm in his hands in Ansteorra and promptly wrote new armor
standards.
THE CROWN PASSES TO THE OUTLANDS:
Ton and Elizabeth 08/13/77 AS XII to 12/17/77 AS XII
The first of the Outlands Kings. Ton got his start in Ysgithyr,
and did NOT like the "power people" in the Sun. This caused
problems in his reign that continued over to many of the other
Outlands Kings of Atenveldt.
Koris and Leah 12/17/77 AS XII to 05/06/78 AS XIII
Amayot and Ivanof von Schloss joust on motorcycles at Crown.
Johann and Malinda 05/06/78 AS XIII to 09/09/78 AS XIII
Jonathon and Willow 09/09/78 AS XIII to 03/03/79 AS XIII
The Crown goes to Ansteorra.
Burro Creek War....Aten vs Caid.
Theo and Selene 03/03/79 AS XIII to 07/21/79 AS XIV
The Crown comes back to the Outlands.
Koris II and Leah II 07/21/79 AS XIV to 01/05/80 AS XIV
Heinrich and Sara 01/05/80 AS XIV to 06/07/80 AS XV
Ansteorra becomes a Kingdom. (?)
Einrich and Shaleaya 06/07/80 AS XV to 12/06/80 AS XV
Johann II and Malinda II 12/06/80 AS XV to 06/20/81 AS XVI
Albert and Selene 06/20/81 AS XVI to 12/05/81 AS XVI
Clan Shadowcat appears, and the Kingdom climbs a tree....
Amayot and Kerensa 12/05/81 AS XVI to 05/30/82 AS XVII
The Sun takes back the Crown.
The last Crusadene King.
The second Locksley King.
(The so-called "BannerGate")
Burro Creek War the Last; Deaton finds himself surrounded by
about 30 Caidans, and kills them all in an incredible display
of SCA combat.
Einrich II and Myrby 05/30/82 AS XVII to 12/04/82 AS XVII
And the Outlands takes it back again....
Dafydd and Lyn 12/04/82 AS XVII to 06/04/83 AS XVIII

THE BEGINNING OF THE TRELON/BRION DYNASTY:
Brion and Adrianna 06/01/85 AS XX to 12/07/85 AS XX
Death of Queen Adrianna: Every florist in Utah is sold out of
roses, as they -all- had been sent to the funeral. She is
buried in her regalia as Countess, and the entire Kingdom is in
mourning.
Trelon II and Daphne 12/07/85 AS XX to 06/07/86 AS XXI
Estrella II ....Aten vs Caid.
Brion II and Anna 06/07/86 AS XXI to 12/06/86 AS XXI
Trelon III and Daphne II 12/06/86 AS XXI to 06/06/87 AS XXII

I actually know the answer to the question: Many years ago, when there
were five kingdoms and Caid and Ansteorra were just about to become
independent, Atenveldt was deciding about coronets, at the request of the
steward (Bevin Fraser) and because of a few minor misunderstandings about
viscounts and "crown barons" (don't ask) and so there were discussions,and
drafts, and influential campaigners. I was Seneschal of Atenveldt, but
not yet a peer. Baldwin of Erebor was Aten Herald and maybe had just
become a peer, but maybe not quite yet.
There were countesses and duchesses in a certain influential neighborhood
(not mine) who were accustomed to wearing decorative wires (1/8 inch
bands) as their coronets, and they neither had nor wanted fancier
coronets.
This, I believe, without the filling in of any particular gossipy details,
is the basis of the situation. It ended up affecting the Outlands, but
not Ansteorra, as Ansteorra was too busy hatching their new kingdom to pay
attention to this round of discussions. Ansteorra allows coronets for
AoA's (I believe) and *elaborate* coronets for Court Barons.

Atenveldt started as a Barony of the West. They petitioned to
become a Principality a few years later, and eventually became
the first kingdom to be formally split off from an existing
kingdom.

And I must concur. It's hard to argue with the facts.
The region of Artemisia, despite including Montana, Utah, all of Idaho but
the panhandle, and the Western Slope portions of Wyoming and Colorado, only
tenuously had the necessary population to maintain a principality (circa
1986). We had one barony (Loch Salann, in Salt Lake City); active, healthy
shires only in Green River, Idaho Falls, Boise, Bozeman, and Missoula; and
incipient shires or dying shires in another perhaps ten small cities. The
fact of our sparse population had many in the BoD convinced we'd never be
able to maintain the numbers necessary to retain Principality status.
We made becoming a principality our rallying cry. First, we established the
Barony of 1000 Eyes in Idaho Falls, an effort which, itself, required much
rallying and crying (after all, Idaho Falls only has a polulation of
50,000). Shortly thereafter, with concerted efforts at recruitment, demos,
and advertising, we boosted the regional population to 275 in time for
consideration for principality status. In the next few months, Sentinels
Keep (Missoula) and Arn Hold (Boise) advanced to baronial status and the
number of active shires doubled. I know this might seem to verify one of
the frequently expressed fears concerning principality formation, but the
Principality of Artemisia is now about to become the Kingdom of Artemisia;
they have their first Crown Tourney scheduled for April. (Artemisia's
reasons for the split have nothing to do with their status as a
Principality, but I think the impending split gives a good idea of their
growth since becoming a principality).

Like many other things in the SCA, Atenveldt's name was chosen on the
spur of the moment. Richard Ironsteed was encouraged to choose a name,
(preferably non-directional) "right now". For reasons unknown to Rick or
anybody else back then, it was pronounced with the long 'A' from the
beginning.

Chronicle of Atenveldt
History of the Kingdom from 1969 to 1995, including all the
Principalities that once were part of the Kingdom and are now Kingdoms
