Lantgraf Hartman Rogges and Vicountess Filippa Birgersdotters Theatre Companys first anniversary weekend at the Styringheim Lucia feast January 9th thru 11th 2011.
Despite heavy winds and a treacherous sea two of the Guild Elders, Ragnhild Leifsdotter and Styrbjörn Bärsärk, and one of our patrons Hartman Rogge, made it safely over from the Nordmark mainland to the Barony of Styringheim, the chalky island in the Baltic. Unfortunately our third Elder, Lady Ingrid Audardotter, and our other patron, Vicountess Filippa Birgersdotter, could not attend which grieved us greatly.
The Theatre Guild was officially formed at this particular place, under the pear tree on the Chapter House courtyard in Visby, exactly one year ago. We therefore thought it suitable to return to this place for our first anniversary. The weekend was eventful throughout and we were privileged to have King Lief, Queen Morrigan, Crown prince Sven, Crown princess Siobhan and of course the Baron Jorulf and Baroness Märta of Styringheim attend the event. Since the schedule was packed with lectures, ghost walks, baronial investiture, banquet and more (!) we did not hold a Theatre Guild meeting, but our oldest Elder Styrbjörn did a smashing performance of an improvised “Talk to the woman” during the banquet. There was a lot of blushing, giggling and maybe even a tear or two from both high and low in the hall at his speech.
And this marked the first anniversary of Lantgraf Hartman Rogges and Vicountess Filippa Birgersdotters Theatre Company in Drachenwald. We hope for many more anniversaries and stunning performances from our talented members over the years to come!
//Lady Ragnhild Leifsdotter – Guild Elder
