Who they are

These are the former kings and queens of the Kingdom of Atenveldt (list of former rulers). Two people become the 'Crown' of Atenveldt and work as a team. The partnership consist of a Fighter (who must win of Crown Tournament) and their Consort (a gentle who agrees to work alongside the fighter).

Both of the 'Crowns' on completing one reign receive a 'County' award to recognize their service to the Kingdom. Crowns who who complete two full reigns receive a 'Duchy' award as recognition (which is the the highest ranking award given in the SCA).

In addition, gentles who have served as Consort are inducted into the Order of the Rose, an SCA-wide honor reserved for past royal consorts.

Like all the peerage orders Counties and Duchies have to show qualities worthy of the title of peer – such as courtesy and respect to others, be passionate about sharing their knowledge, and play a significant role in our community.  In short, be the kind of person we want to admire.  SCA Corpora[1] outlines these traits as follows:

Our Royal Peers can be some of the most well-known and respected members of the SCA community. Like any other Peerage which confers a Patent of Arms, the new candidates must meet the following minimum criteria. Additional requirements may be set by the law and custom of the kingdom as deemed appropriate and necessary by the Crown.

  1. They shall have been obedient to the governing documents of the Society and the laws of the kingdom.
  2. They shall have consistently shown respect for the Crown of the kingdom.
  3. They shall have set an example of courteous and noble behavior suitable to a peer of the realm.
  4. They shall have demonstrated support for the aims and ideals of the Society by being as authentic in dress, equipment and behavior as is within their power.
  5. They shall have shared their knowledge and skills with others.
  6. They shall have practiced hospitality according to their means and as appropriate to the circumstances.
  7. They shall have made every effort to learn and practice those skills desirable at and worthy of a civilized court. To this end they should have some knowledge of a wide range of period forms, including but not limited to literature, dancing, music, heraldry, and chess, and they should have some familiarity with combat as practiced in the Society.
  8. They should participate in Society recreations of several aspects of the culture of the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
