From Tessa:
Neat-o Mosquito, Annes, Robert,
Neat-o Mosquito, Annes, Robert,
I have found again your beginnings of google
history site.
(For some reason I wa not able to get my connection
to post on the google, so am sending this other copy to you both via
emails.)
Otto's whole name:
As I recall, the fighter you identify at Otto the
Mad
was actually "Otto the Merciless."
And most certainly, yes! As Otto's inspiration that day, a very young Rowan stood one heartbeat away from having been our first queen, the later became the Iron Rose in her own right.
was actually "Otto the Merciless."
And most certainly, yes! As Otto's inspiration that day, a very young Rowan stood one heartbeat away from having been our first queen, the later became the Iron Rose in her own right.
Otto also had a brother, I recall, Charles, who
together had gone to war at the Burrow Creek Canyon War, Arizona, circa 1978,
the first year any Ansteorans wore war tabards of gold with the Balck Star
design, incidentally made by Mistress Jane't. There were a total of 10
Ansteorans in that army, of whom Otto the Merciless and Charles were
two.
Other 8 were, or later became, peers:

(Source: my own notes, below
-Tessa)
The first time Ansteorrans went to war clothed in
gold war tabards with the Black Star design, Mistress Janet' made many of
those tabards along with Mistress Nerak and Lady Mellusine for 1978 Burrow Creek
Canyon War in Arizona. Janet' and Telbryne were two
among the ten Ansteorran warriors dressed out in those fine bright,
intimidating gold war tabards.
Who standing here today was among those 10 warriors?
"Then" titles: The first Prince of the Principality of Ansteora, Prince Sir Sean Mac Fflamm, out of Bryn Gwlad;
Sir Simonn of Amber Isle, out of Bordermarch; :
Lord Telbryne Morningstar (later Laurel), Lady Janet' Virago Parva of House Morningstar (later a Pelican and Laurel), Lord Robert Helmanstal/known as Galvanized (later a Knight) ; Lord John the Plain (later a Knight), all 4 of Stargate; Lord Jan w Orzeldorm of Bjornsborg (later, a Baron and King); Lord Godfrey de la Fosse (later Laurel), Lord Otto the Merciless, Otto's brother Charles- 3 from the Shadowlands.
Those 10 were recognized in Caid as "Ansteorra's Golden Shield Wall."
From those 10, eight were or became peers of the realm.
Ansteorra's Golden Shield Wall Song: words by Simonn:
"Ten Men were charged to hold the center of Atenveldt's line,
Ten men, strong and stalwart
Who bore the BLACK STAR design.
Golden-clad warriors, silent and ready,
Defended a rise in the field,
A rock to be taken, if battered and shaken,
Ansteorra never will yield!
Refrain:
Aye-Source: my oyah! West Kingdom, we stand ready
To give you the death you desire.
Take, if you can, this hill that we man,
Ansteorra will never retire!
Two [Western] dukes and a host led the attack,
Bypassing the BLACK STAR's stand..
The Westerners chose Atenveldt's flank
Engaging the stubborn Outlands,
Then wave upon wave the Westerners came,
To break the BLACK STAR line,
The battle was heavy, Ansteorra's levy
Made the BLACK STAR shine!
Refrain:
Aye-yah! West Kingdom, we stand ready
To give you the death you desire.
Take, if you can, this hill that we man,
Ansteorra will never retire!"
In 1979, later, at the Second Burrow Creek War, King Martin of Caid spoke of Ansteorra's Golden Shield Wall as "the stuff of legend," and Caid remembered it as such.
That shield wall was golden because of the tabards!

Dear Robert,
Please contact Don Tivar and Duchess Rowan. I think Tivar attended
that tournament and I know Rowan did.
Some History: In the final round for the first King and Queen of the
new Kingdom of Ansteorra, Jonathan de Lyfson (sp?) faced a man called
Otto the Mad (I think). The woman inspiring Jonathan was Willow de
Wisp. The woman inspiring Otto was a very young girl attending her
first or possibly second event. Her name was Rowan Beatrice von
Kampher.....
