During my second crusade
(2003; see the bio of Sir George) I was also a
key component to the overthrow of the royal court at this faire. The warrior
Gregory, along with the lady Caroline and maiden Lyrica, were not happy with the
current king and his court, and plotted his overthrow. For gracious hospitality
shown to me and my people, I knighted Gregory, giving him noble title. Sir
Gregory then, with the aid of my soldiers, demanded that the king relinquish the
crown to Gregory, citing that the king had no noble right to the throne. The
king surrendered, and the new royal court was established!
 |
(Note: this
was truly an unplanned event on the part of the Baycrafters faire, but
the staff and patrons loved the event so much that they asked if all
parties involved would perform the overthrow again the next day, which
they did. After that, the Baycrafters staff asked Greg if he and his
family would like to be the official royal court for years to come, and
they accepted!) |
So now, I find myself in an
interesting position: He his Sir Gregory, King of Baycrafters, who also answers
to me, Sir George, Captain of Ravenwood. I do not presume to lead Sir Gregory in
his kingly affairs; in fact I stand for him at his side as a royal bodyguard,
and as Steward in his absence, while the general populace knows not of the real politics behind
the scenes.
In 2005, King Gregory's
house burned down right before faire, causing he and his family to be unable to
attend. All got out safely, but they lost everything. I stood is as his Steward
and preserved his kingdom until his return.
