Most recently the autocrat <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ponte</strong> <strong>Alto</strong>'s 20 Year Celebration inFebruary, Tirloch's contributions to the <strong>Barony</strong>, the Kingdom and the SCAspan all 20 <strong>of</strong> those years, starting with his very first event, <strong>Ponte</strong> <strong>Alto</strong>'s BaronialInvestiture on leap day 1992.Early on, heraldry was one <strong>of</strong> Tirloch's main interests in the SCA. "The Bear,"as Tirloch was <strong>of</strong>ten called, served <strong>Ponte</strong> <strong>Alto</strong> as Baronial Herald from April1994 through February 1996. He was also quite active in Atlantia's College <strong>of</strong>Heralds, handling submissions in the late 1990s and earning the rank <strong>of</strong> fullHerald within the College. As Mistress Alisoun MacCoul <strong>of</strong> Elphane noted, hewas a "purveyor <strong>of</strong> delicious tidbits to heralds and submitters alike," whichundoubtedly helped smooth the process along! In the late 2000s, he held thetitle <strong>of</strong> Pearl Herald, and just last year acquired the personal title Albus UsrusHerald. Over the years, Tirloch assisted many submitters (myself included!)and mentored many junior heralds in matters <strong>of</strong> court, field, protocol andsubmissions. It is thanks to Master Tirloch that I am a herald today, and mystory is but one <strong>of</strong> many such tales.But heraldry was only one <strong>of</strong> Tirloch's areas <strong>of</strong> service. He also helped keepthe SCA on track financially, serving as Baronial Exchequer in <strong>Ponte</strong> <strong>Alto</strong> fromFebruary 1997 through <strong>March</strong> 1999. Though mostly a bear <strong>of</strong> the Teddy variety(size XXL!), Tirloch had no qualms about being "The-Bear-Who-Says-No"when called <strong>for</strong>, if rules were not being properly followed. That particular skillserved him well during his term as <strong>Society</strong> Treasurer from 2001 through 2003,where he had the opportunity to travel across the Known World, and,incidentally, poke his bear paws into SCA kitchens everywhere.P A G E 2
Because where there were SCA kitchens, those paws would get involved, as one<strong>of</strong> Tirloch's other loves in the SCA was cooking. He specialized in medievalGerman food, translating many a High German text into delicious recipes. Tirlochshared that deliciousness with us at many feasts over the years, including <strong>Ponte</strong><strong>Alto</strong>'s "A Little Event with a Big German Feast." His prowess in the kitchenearned him the title <strong>of</strong> Royal Baker in Atlantia in 2002, the first to hold thatnotable position. "Santa Tirloch" (as he was known when wearing his redhoupelande) was also known to provide Christmas Coal <strong>for</strong> the naughty boys andgirls, and some <strong>of</strong> us worked hard to be naughty during the holiday season to earnour share <strong>of</strong> that delightfully chocolaty goodness! But the most clamored-<strong>for</strong><strong>of</strong>fering from Master Tirloch's kitchen was invariably his redaction <strong>of</strong> the"Excellent Small Cakes" recipe from an English Renaissance cookbook by SirKenelm Digby - Digby Cakes! I requested them as a special treat at my ownvigil, and there is even a reported incident <strong>of</strong> one individual locking herself in hercar to gobble them down, thus preventing her spouse from stealing any <strong>of</strong> hershare.Digby cakes are, unsurprisingly, a staple <strong>of</strong> our household Pennsic meal plan. Theyserve well as a snack any time <strong>of</strong> day or night, as Tirloch well knew from his manyhours working Pennsic Troll. Twice Tirloch was Head Troll at Pennsic, in 2005and 2007. In other years he served as an Executive Troll, or shift deputy, or justcame up during land grab weekend so he could work at Troll - he was a confirmedTroll-junkie!Beyond all the accomplishments described above, many <strong>of</strong> which led to hisinduction into the Orders <strong>of</strong> the Pelican and Laurel, one final accolade wasbestowed upon Master Tirloch at Gulf Wars. Upon learning <strong>of</strong> Tirloch's passing,His Majesty Cuán declared that the Atlantian battle cry <strong>for</strong> the war would be"Tirloch!" I, <strong>for</strong> one, believe that The Bear heard that cry, and smiled, and thenturned back to his kitchen, where he and Mistress Kiri continue to cook up Digbycakes, entertained by poetry from Duke Gyrth, while Master Thomas waitspatiently <strong>for</strong> his shareand Baroness Agnesstands ready to servethe next course.Photograph from the Ravenstreet Household webpage 13 <strong>March</strong> <strong>2012</strong>P A G E 3
Greetings unto the <strong>Barony</strong>!St Paddy’s Day Blood BathSt Paddy's Day Blood Bath was a lot <strong>of</strong> fun. The sky was overcast and the temperature was warmerthan normal. We did have a bit <strong>of</strong> an English drizzle over the course <strong>of</strong> the day here and there, butthere was plenty <strong>of</strong> warm soup to fight <strong>of</strong>f the chill (soup by Lady Sophia). As the day wore on itseemed like the weather was going to get a little rougher and about five minutes after we had alltorn down and left the site the downpour came. Even the weather knows better then to mess withan Italian <strong>Barony</strong>...Court was brief (and under the picnic pavilion) to be out <strong>of</strong> the drizzle.We selected Our new Rapier and Heavy Champions; Master Kevin <strong>of</strong> Thornbury is Our new HeavyChampion and Lord William Gillecrist Ross is Our new Rapier Champion.The tournament winners were (Rapier) Lord Dominyk Wolfram and (Heavy) Lord Lucas von Ach.A special prize, a goblet with the site token embedded on it, was given to Sir Aldrydd Ffestiniog <strong>for</strong>his display <strong>of</strong> Chivalry on the field; a Shark (no, really, it was a shark) to Lady Gwenivere <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ponte</strong><strong>Alto</strong> <strong>for</strong> her tenacity on the field; and a canned ham to Lord Walter von Are <strong>for</strong> best/most entertainingdeath (repeatedly!).Several Beads <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ponte</strong> <strong>Alto</strong> were awarded: Lady Sophia, <strong>for</strong> the hearty soup and sundries, LadyGiovanna, <strong>for</strong> organizing the event into being, and Sir Mandin was awarded a Bead <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ponte</strong> <strong>Alto</strong> <strong>for</strong>bringing attention to Our <strong>Barony</strong> by being chivalrous, courteous and lending a helping hand (outside<strong>of</strong> Our Baronial lands).It was good to see so many fighters out there, we had about 75 people at the event and a bunch <strong>of</strong>fun.

What’s with the Yellow and BlackCarnations at Baronial Court?Short answer, Why Not?<strong>Ponte</strong> <strong>Alto</strong> is Italian. Barone Drogo is a Norman in Sicily. I like flowers.So, naturally, I did some research on the national flower <strong>of</strong> Sicily.As it turns out, the national flower is the Carnation. Lucky <strong>for</strong> me it is such anavailable flower that we can have it at our courts, and frequently on our tables.There is no specific colour that is attributed to Sicily, so I choose yellow ,when available, and tip them with black, <strong>Ponte</strong> <strong>Alto</strong>’s colours <strong>of</strong> course.Flowers, just another aspect <strong>of</strong> daily life in the middle ages.By Baronessa Adina di <strong>Ponte</strong> <strong>Alto</strong>Baronial Progress <strong>for</strong> <strong>March</strong> / April / MayDate Event Barone /Baronessa7 April Defending the Gate XI Drogo & Adina14 April Spring Coronation Drogo & Adina21 April Tournament <strong>of</strong> the Golden Rose (TBD) Drogo & Adina28 April Tir-y-Don’s Birthday and Investiture Celebration Drogo & Adina5 May Atlantian Spring Crown Tournament Drogo & Adina12 May Atlantia’s Royal Archery Championship Drogo & Adina19 May On Target Adina25-28 May Ruby Joust Drogo & AdinaP A G E 13
