Myths of Early AtenveldtMyths of Early AtenveldtMyths of Early AtenveldtMyths of Early Atenveldt Dame Alianora da Lyshåret,
with thanks to Dame Katharine of Cate Hall
♦ The Barony of Atenveldt wasn’t really the first Aten barony,
Tir Ysgithr was. This one was recently invented in Tir Ysgithr. There are also
people who believe that Jesse James wasn’t killed by Robert
Ford, that Elvis is still alive and that cross-stitch is period.
Atenveldt became the first barony in the known world on June
16, 1969. Ysgithr became a barony in 1973.’Nuff said.
♦ Richard Ironsteed was the first Baron of Atenveldt
Michael of Moria was the first Baron.
♦ No, Michael the Inebriate was the first baron!
Well, sort of. Being appointed Baron was why he changed his
name.
♦ Ioseph of Locksley was the first Aten Herald.
Richard Ironsteed was the first Aten Herald.
♦ Kathleen nicChluarain was the first Princess of Atenveldt.
Duchess Kathleen was the 3rd Princess of Atenveldt. She was,
however, the first Princess of the Sun and the first Baroness of
Atenveldt. Oh, and 3 times Queen of Atenveldt.
♦ Richard Ironsteed resigned his knighthood when he was king,
and isn’t a member of the order of the Chivalry. Count Richard did resign a knighthood, but that was in 1976.
Richard was created a Master at Arms in 1981. Rumors that he
later resigned his baldric are false.
Palm Prints 7 September 2009
♦ Ironsteed was using a borrowed sword when he won the first
Crown Tournament. True.
♦ He borrowed that sword from Jonathan Whitewolf (Elder) and
then returned it. This isn’t possible as Jonathan’s first event was 5 months after
the first Aten Crown lists. Here’s the real story:
When Ironsteed’s own sword broke during a battle, Dale the
Small handed him his own sword. When Richard tried to return
it, Dale insisted he keep it. Count Richard still has that sword,
and will likely display it at the Anniversary Revel.
♦ The Zagnuts would show up to fighter practices in Catholic
schoolgirl outfits to drive the fighters wild. “Zagnuts” was the nickname that one of the early Atenveldt
guys (Moria?) gave the ladies of Huss Zagamar. While it was
true that Siobhan and Alianora often showed up at early fighter
practices in Catholic prep school uniforms, they did so because
they were Catholic schoolgirls who hadn’t had time to change.
♦ The first ‘Wars’ were held at Estrella Park, or Burro Creek.
The first wars were held in the Salt River bed near the railroad
bridge not too far from the Tempe bridge. (The river was dry at
the time as the Tempe Town Lake was about 25 years in the
future.) The Burro Creek Wars came a few years later.
The “Zagnuts” particularly liked the riverbed Wars as they were
often “abducted” as ‘acts of war’.
♦ Master Richard the Strange was gay.
??? Uhhhh, no.
Palm Prints 8 September 2009
♦ Assassinations were common in the early days.
Indeed they were. The assassins were usually operatives of the
Clan (Chluarain) who accomplished their assassinations by
means of cream pies in the face. The most popular target was
Lord Geoffrey of Chadhunt.
♦ You had to live in Moreland House and later Weldon House to
be King. Ummm- it seemed like that for a while anyway.
♦ You had to work for Poncho to be king.
There was the “Pool Animal Dynasty” which included Robert
Roundpounder, Joseph the Good, Stefan von Geist, and Pontius
himself. Most of the pool animals had also lived at Weldon
House.
♦ You can knock concrete blocks out of a church wall with a can
of beans fired from a trebuchet. False, but a long story: Once upon a time, Woodford and Moria
built the first trebuchet, Angela-Leanne (Named after the Queen
of the West and Princess of Atenveldt of that time.). It was kept
at Weldon House, and the resident siege engineers would
practice by lobbing all sorts of things into the yard of the
Aldersgate United Methodist church across Weldon Street (At
32nd Street). The can of beans that hit the wall did no damage,
and the parishioners loved to watch the catapult work. Woody
made sure to have lots of water balloons to fire for the children
in summer.
♦ The neighbors hated the SCA guys moving into Weldon House.
In fact, they loved them. The previous tenants had been a drug
dealer and a bordello operator. The young men were polite,
helpful and law abiding and entertaining.
Palm Prints 9 September 2009
♦ Angela Leanne once hit a car with a watermelon.
The real story is much more entertaining. The trebuchet and a
small SCA camp was set up on the Eastern end (Alvarado
Road) of what is now the Art Museum, for a 3 day event called
the Firebird Festival of the Arts. Late one night, the fellows
fired a watermelon in a westerly direction to see if it could clear
the Art Museum building to Central Avenue. They succeeded.
Unfortunately the watermelon cleared the roof so far that it hit a
Phoenix P.D. patrol car heading up Central Avenue.
The officers in the melon splattered car drove up to our camp
and asked if we had seen anyone on the roof of the Art
Museum. All accurately, if nervously, replied that they had not.
Luckily, the officers did not notice the trebuchet bucket that
was still creakily moving back and forth.
♦ Lorelei could not walk across an open field without falling
down. False. She did manage it a few times in the old days and now
does so consistently. That is why we address her as “Your
Grace”.
♦ Only Zagnuts were allowed to marry members of the Chivalry.
Only for a short period.
♦ You could address Lady Anne Tannithcourt as “Annie” or
Anne “Tenniscourt”. Not and live to tell the tale.
♦ Lady Gnossos Popodopilous was the cutest lady in Atenveldt.
True.
♦ Poncho would strike alight a series of matches with his sword.
False. Count Pontius would never waste perfectly good
matches.

Guest myths from bonifide oldtimers:
♦ Only knights were allowed to ride horses in the middle ages
I don't have a Legend "of " the early times, but I remember a
legend "from" them. An early Outlands knight was explaining
to a buncha newbies how spurs were restricted to knights in the
SCA because, in the middle ages, only knights were allowed to
ride horses.
He made the mistake of mentioning this within the hearing of
one Lady Katherine of Kate Hall, who proceeded to cuizinart
him into tiny, paper-thin knight slices. Thus Always To Pseudo-
History! (Sir Bartholomew of Wolftwain 4th Baron of
Atenveldt)
♦ Only truth from the old days…
Sorry. Everything I remember about the early years of the SCA
is absolutely true. Some of it is difficult to believe (such as
keeping the Order of Precedence on 3 x 5 cards, getting
Atenveldt event reports from as far away as Florida and having
events without waivers), but absolutely true. (Thegn Yusuf 9th
Baron of Tir Ysgithr)
♦ The first five years are all a myth…
Myths? Legends? The first five years was nothing but myths!
Everything was a "first". I built the first helm from scratch,
brewed the first mead, sailed the first boat and so forth. Has it
been 40 years? ye gods!
Think how different things would have been if Rick and Mike
had come back from the convention with the idea to make a
bunch of Space Rangers rather than knights. We probably
would have invented paintball. Would have been much easier
on my back. (Master Helm of Birka AKA William of the
Shire, builder of the first SCA Viking Ship, The Wymlet)

(sung to the tune of “The Strangest Dream”)
Lyrics by Catriona Katla, OP and Ealasaid nic Suibhne, OL (a true story from the baronial encampment at Estrella War many years ago)
At War I saw the strangest sight
In all of Atenveldt
Our Baron came running out of his tent
Wearing not even his belt.
And all was silent and all was dark,
Except in the Baron's camp.
It happened very late at night,
When the dogs knocked over a lamp.
The night it glowed with firelight
But wait, the fires are banked.
His tent, you see, it was aflame
But we thought the Baron was tanked.
"Oh, look, my dear. Do you see that?"
"Our tent, it is ablaze"
Our Baroness spoke, so calm and serene
Our Baron the alarum did raize.
Our Baron searched most valiantly
For the extinguisher of the fire.
His search it proved to be in vain.
The flames crept higher and higher.
His gaze then fell upon his quilt.
The quilt he loved so dear.
He used it to beat out the flames,
The quilt suffered greatly, I fear.
The quilt it died, that very night.
And oh, we did all mourn.
The story spread thoughout the camp
And Pyrho Baron was born.
Oh, Pyrho Baron we love you dear,
But nobody give him a match
We'll buld you a cottage of waddle and daub,
But I think, we'll leave off the thatch.

Ballad of Pierre le Grande By Lord Brian Ambrose O’Driscoll
Sung to: Working on the Railway
CHORUS:
Ho lads, pull the oar
We'll take the gold
and Leave then sore
Rob the Rich
And what is more
We'll sail back to Tortuga
They lay in wait in the shipping lane
Looking for merchants to give some pain
Sitting in their canoe their luck it waned
As they saw the Man o' War.
“We came to plunder and so we'll do
We're out of food and the water too
This will be a day the Spanish rue”
Sailing for the Galleon
CHORUS
Devils from the Deep they could only be
When no boat below the sailors could see
So off to hide the Spanish did flee
Running from Pierre
The Captain surrendered without a fight
He knew his luck was lousy that night
And Pierre le Grande was quite the Sight
Sailing back to Tortuga!!
CHORUS
The Spanish Captain was gambling when
Pierre drew close with all of his men
Far too close for any cannon
And silent as a church rat
Their own canoe they decided to sink
So retreat they could never think
They scaled the sides up to the brink
And lept upon the watchmen
In sixteen hundred and twenty-two
There was a Frenchman, Pierre, who
Decided some piracy to do
Sailing from Tortuga
He brought with him twenty-eight men
With promises of riches when
The Spanish their ships couldn't defend
Sailing from America

The Stuff of LegendsThe Stuff of LegendsThe Stuff of LegendsThe Stuff of Legends (otherwise known as the story of the Canon.)(otherwise known as the story of the Canon.)(otherwise known as the story of the Canon.)(otherwise known as the story of the Canon.)
Written by Kirsten Maria Matz Based on interviews of Otto Langhorn von Baden and Heinrich der Baurer
Remember a time when legends where made, it was back during Estrella IV or VI, the
year of Titan Town. Think on the coolest camp decoration, a replica canon, care of
Jeff the Giant. Then add to the equation a few guys with the notion that “Medieval
technology works.” Now, you have got the beginnings of a story.
The Canon was made from a steel gas pipeline, approximately 10” across, add the
wheels that look almost like authentic wagon wheels, and then all you need is the
ammunition. First attempts were with an old army bag. “That worked until we lined it
up on the port-a-privy the King was using.” It would be a good thing Jay Altry was
forgiving. The proceeding ammunition was what the guys called a “pig.” It consisted
of a large foam slug that was shoved down the barrel. Apparently that worked for
awhile, until the barrel was “hot fired.” “Then the slug started to melt, that's when we
added … the duct tape,” remembers Heinrich.
Firing the Canon on the battle field was the stuff of legends, with a crew made of Jeff
the Giant, Griffin Blackthorne, Otto Langhorn von Baden, Jonathon Whitewolf Sr.,
and Heinrich der Brauer. Marshalls okayed the cannon when it was only able to fire
10-15 feet. Unbeknownst though, the next shot was white gas added to white gas.
Who would have guessed the gas did not clear in the first round? “Our side dropped
and the poor guy in the front got out ‘What the…’ before he was cut off with a pig in
the face,” from Otto. Otto and Heinrich both remember that no matter how many
times they fired the Canon it never seemed to occur to any one to kill the messenger,
as he retrieved the firing slug. In fact, most helpfully pointed out the errant slug, as
Otto or Whitewolf, being the only two in the crew in armor, returned it the resurrec-
tion point time and again. Then there is the poor Caidian Royal Banner Bearer, who
could not seem to get out of firing range. Some say he was hidden in the back ranks
and was still hit a third time.
At the end of the day, the Caidian King was much impressed. He awarded, before
court, to the Canon Crew medallions that were reserved for Caidian fighters. Otto and
Heinrich both remember fondly, that Otto gave his medallion to the young Heinrich,
that he would not be left out. Unfortunately, the Canon was discontinued after that,
safety starting to eek it's way into the Society's way of thinking. We cannot have py-
rotechnics on the field after all.
What might you say we have learned from this grand adventure? There is nothing
quite like legends, that Medieval technology works, or that we used to get away with
a lot more stupid stuff. How about chivalry and honor live on? Maybe, there is noth-
ing like fun with friends. No, this writer agrees with those interviewed. The stuff of
legends could never have been done better. Thus began, Atenveldt, “Siege Capital of
the Known World”.

Atenveldt Reaches Forty!Atenveldt Reaches Forty!Atenveldt Reaches Forty!Atenveldt Reaches Forty!
by Arthur of Lockehaven
Reaching the age of forty might be considered evidence of middle
age. This year the Kingdom of Atenveldt reached this milestone; but as I look back over forty years of Atenveldt’s history I’m not convinced that we are middle aged at all. I believe we are still in our youth.
Let’s look back at some changes that have taken place in Atenveldt, over the past four decades. The biggest change, apparent to anyone who was there at the beginning and is here now, is our size. Atenveldt started with no more than a couple dozen people. We wore mattress
pad armor, sat under pavilions made of bed spreads, and used dining room chairs for thrones; yet we somehow imagined ourselves in a world of knighthood and chivalry. Atenveldt now hosts events with attendance in the thousands. Every aspect of the Kingdom has grown and we showcase the highest order of costumes, pavilions, and armor.
Atenveldt has gotten big enough that we are no longer a mystery to the rest of the world. Forty years ago, when you stopped at a grocery
store, wearing an SCA costume, you would have been greeted with the question, “Are you guys in a play?”. Forty years ago that was about all people could relate to when seeing someone wearing medieval garb. Today, you are likely to be greeted with, “Oh, you must be in the SCA!” It’s amazing how many people today “know someone in the SCA”, or have even been to Estrella War.
The growth of the Kingdom has forced major changes in our interface
with the greater 21st century. A much higher level of organization became mandatory for us to survive. There was a time when you could show up at a park, without contracts or insurance, and have your tournament; those days are long gone. We were once a loose organization where people made up things as they went along. There
didn’t seem to be much need for contracts, waivers, authorizations, or handbooks. Today everything has become detailed, engrained, and codified. It is ironic, that an organization that once boasted of being a “protest to the 20th century” has in its self become so conservative!
Rules for fighting have developed far beyond the one page list of Do’s and Don’ts, which were once our standard. With larger events, and
Palm Prints 19 September 2009
more money involved, we had to create detailed procedures for handling that money. There was a time when women were banned from fighting in the SCA. Eventually women were permitted to fight, but
it was still rare; today it is fully accepted and not considered remarkable at all. The making of a squire (or today, a protégée) was a far less formal procedure in the early days. Many aspects of our Kingdom have matured into forms that would not have been recognized forty years ago.
As we grew in size things that were not needed at one time became a requirement. At the first Burro Creek war, I remember standing in a line,
which had to be thirty people long, waiting to use one of the few park supplied concrete bathrooms. As we waited we began to discuss the possibility of actually having to rent our own port-o-johns! It seemed an extreme measure at the time, but it was apparent that it had to be done.
Atenveldt grew geographically and as it did old traditions had to be changed and new ones created. The standard Award of Arms, Belt or
Laurel, created at the beginning, were not going to be adequate for every contribution made to our Kingdom. New accolades, starting with the Order of Light, became necessary as people became involved in more aspects of the Middle Ages.
We became older demographically as we grew in size. At the beginning most of Atenveldt’s residents were college age, and the “old guys” were still under thirty. Today we have a varied age group in
our population and even have multigenerational SCA families. This has been a major benefit to the organization and our Kingdom has become more mature as a result.
Another dramatic change in our Kingdom has been the major increase in the knowledge base that we have created, and which is generously disseminated. There was a time when “learning to make chain mail” consisted of looking up “mail” in the dictionary, cutting up
some coat hangers, and trying to make the pieces look like the illustration. Today, a quick Google search, or asking a question at a fighter practice or collegium, will give you more information than was available in the entire SCA in the early years!
It is the same with all of our arts and sciences. Excellent period pavilions, furniture, shoes, music, and dance all are now common,
when once they were rare. Look at the oldest Atenveldt scrolls. There is
Palm Prints 20 September 2009
Illumination by Lady Ursula
Palm Prints 21 September 2009
no comparison with what is being done today. Look at our costumes. Pick a topic related in any way to the Middle Ages and more than likely someone in our Kingdom has researched it and is more than
willing to share the information when asked. This knowledge base is a major benefit for us today. It would have been invaluable had it been present at the beginning. This expansion of knowledge has also spawned the opportunity for everyone to have a more authentic presentation and to be involved in the SCA in ways we never imagined forty years ago.
These are the things one might see as different, when comparing
Atenveldt forty years ago to Atenveldt today. It may sound like Atenveldt has changed unrecognizably over this period of time. However, I argue that it has not fundamentally changed at all. To me most of these changes are quite superficial, when we examine the core of what our Kingdom truly is.
People come to the SCA today for much the same reasons that we did forty years ago. Here you can find kindred hearts. You can find
interesting creative people who are living out an aspect of their lives that they might not be able to elsewhere. It is our interaction with each other, as we learn, that is our true core; it is what defines us as a Kingdom. Through this shared experience we create special connections and memories.
Each of us carries these vignettes, these moments that together define our Kingdom. Each of us has thrilled at seeing a friend awarded a well
deserved accolade. We have all taken an evening stroll around the campfires at Estrella. As we watched circles of people in costume, talking and laughing, as we smell the wood burning, hear period music playing in the distance, we can, for a moment, be taken away to shared time and place.
Many women have commented to me that they feel much safer at an SCA event than they do in their non-SCA world. In Atenveldt a man
offering to escort a lady at night, or to offer to help set up her pavilion, is considered courteous and not unusual. From the beginning Atenveldt’s goal has been offer a place where women are accepted as fully equal while also being worthy of chivalrous admiration. It is no surprise that the first female member of the Chivalry, in the SCA,
occurred in this Kingdom.
The important parts of our Kingdom have not really changed. I believe
Palm Prints 22 September 2009
that we attract the same type of person that we always have. The SCA is a most accepting group of folks. They may seem clannish, maybe literally, to new comers (something we should try to avoid) but the
Kingdom is full of people who are willing to share their passion and interests.
In Atenveldt you can become a Knight in armor, head of a household, Baroness, Princess, or receive accolades as an artist in some of the most arcane arts. It is rare to find an organization that, no matter how imperfect, still talks seriously about the concepts of honor and chivalry. It is these values, the values of our Kingdom that have made Atenveldt
a success.
At forty, some may say that we are “middle-aged” but we are not. We are still very young. We are young because our interests, our values and our friendships, continue from event to event. Atenveldt was not created with an endless power source. The Kingdom’s vital energy must be, and has been, constantly resupplied. Each time we hold a tournament, collegium, or revel, that original infusion of creativity and
will is renewed. As long as this process continues, we will be forever young.
