Fields of Gold X AS 57 on the day of 26th , November 2022
At Fields of Gold X in Politarchopolis on 26 November A.S. XLVII (2022), I gave Leave and License to our Journeywoman Aliette le Liėvre to play her Provost’s Prize against all Provosts, Guildmasters and Guildmistresses.
The candidate commenced the Prize with a demonstration of the Application of Conclusions in Destreza. The candidate was then examined in the weapons forms of Rapier and Cloak; Rapier and Baton; Rapier and Dagger; and Rapier.
The candidate was examined by Provosts Alessandro di Firenze, Dytryk Lehrer, Gomez de Crecy and Lorcan Ruadh, and by Guildmaster ibn Jelal and Guildmistress Juliana de Northwood.
This was a physically challenging Prize in warm conditions, and the candidate took several breaks in addition to breaks between the forms. All examiners should be credited for their support in ensuring that the candidate continued the Prize in her own time, with no pressure to return to the field.
The examiners discussed the Prize in the presence of King Jayne. There was some discussion of the candidate’s work with the Baton and some minor feedback on the use of the Cloak. The Provosts were encouraged to provide feedback to the candidate at an appropriate time.
All examiners were unanimous in their agreement that the candidate had met the requirements of the Prize.
Guildmistress Juliana provided her original Provost’s sash, which was presented to Provost Aliette by Her Excellency Anne de Tournais, Baroness of Politarchopolis, and by Their Majesty King Jayne Hunter.
