While I'm no expert on SCA protocol, I see no reason why there should not be a moment of silence at some point during your first court.

He was king of the East three times, IIRC, and his passing should not go unrecognised by the populace of the East. And you, as a member of his household, are the best person to call for such a tribute to his memory.

(I'll bring extra tea, seeing as how dreda has got the kleenex thing covered.)

I will speak of him in court, yes, and raise a toast to his memory at feast.

I have been drinking a lot of tea. And some Scotch, as well.

Hugh - that is exactly what I was thinking and will look forward to as we travel south to Coronation this weekend.

[alethea_eastrid]

We will certianly do something, yes.

I just re-read my post - I apologize if I sounded expectant...I am extremely sorry for your loss and just feel anything to help you celebrate this great man I would welcome this weekend.

Oh, heavens, nothing of the sort, and my tone was off as well.
