Battle for Marsh Abbey

On St. Catherine of Genoa's Day, being the xxv of March, A.S. XLVI, Milord Talan and I collected our household belongings to stand with our Barony at Marsh Abbey. It was a fine day for a battle. We had hoped to travel with the Lance du Coeur de Lyon, but the heavens had predicted foul weather, and so the Lance deemed it most wise to leave the Calvary out of the weather. As it happened, the rains did not come until late in the day, after the battle was lost. Would that they had come earlier... All was not lost, as we were to witness our good friend, Baroness Beatrice von Stauffen raised to serve their Excellencies Geldemar and Etain as Equestrian Champion. Following shortly thereafter, Baroness Beatrice was summoned once again before Their Excellencies, who made it Their pleasure to make Baroness Beatrice a Companion of the Order of the Gordion Knot. Huzzah and vivat to Baroness Beatrice!
