Hawkwood
Alas! Alack! It is a sad day for the people of Hawkwood as they must bid adieu to Their Excellencies, Thorgrimr and Adeliza. However, our monumental sorrow is tempered with a great joy! Their Atlantian Majesties will invest a new Baronial Coronet to oversee Their lands in Hawkwood! Let all of Atlantia join us as we celebrate not only Hawkwood\'s Baronial Birthday, but also an Investiture of new nobility. Website: http://hawkwood.atlantia.sca.org/events.html
Martial Activities: Any new Baronial Coronet requires a healthy Court to surround them. Join in contests martial to determine new Baronial Champions for Hawkwood. Heavy and Rapier contests will be held both for fun and for positions in the Court. Compete to impress! Target Archery will also be included!
Arts & Sciences Activities: Pageantry is the theme of the day and the populace is encouraged to show their finest heraldic display and to bring items and stories associated with Hawkwood\'s history. There will be prizes for the Best Personal and for Best Baronial Heraldic Display. A special competition will be held for best New Baronial Regalia Item donated to the Barony.
