[Artemisia] An Open Letter - Faith

[Morgan Wolf]

I, like many on this list, find myself torn-
I know and like Ibrahim, I know and like Hoegaarden and Chiara.

So, I will simply say this- Sir Dan, since you were not part of the peer
circles and/or private discussions in question, you don't *know* whether or
not HRM Hoegaarden supported re-knighting Lycurgus.  More importantly, you
don't *know* for sure that *that* is the core issue here.  Further, consider
that Hoegaarden may be the kind of man that does as his King requests in
open court, regardless of his personal feelings.

I've known Ibrahim, Hoegaarden, and Chiara for a number of years, and one
thing I state with confidence in this matter- All of those people are
Honorable, and do what they believe is best for Their Kingdom, and none
would take such steps as sanctioning any member of the SCA lightly.

I don't know the whole story, I doubt anyone on this list does.  I have
faith in my friends, and I'm sure that when I need to know, they'll tell me.
Until then, I wait.

Just Morgan

Greetings,
 
Although I too have a visceral reaction that the Kings word is law and the
BoD has no place in dictating who may or may not become peers in a Kingdom,
I think it would be wise at this point to show a little faith in the Peers
of our sister (brother?) Kingdom of the Outlands.  They know of this matter
intimately (theoretically) and we should grant them some credit for that.
 
One would assume that the King Hoegaarden, whom most of us know from his
many trips to our lands, would not be unjust and that he is likely
responding to the will of the peers of the Outlands.  This would likely be
why this has been passed on to the BoD as it is the will of the majority of
the peers (which I believe Sir Daniel points out) of that Kingdom.
 
I suggest that rather than judge a situation of which we have only secondary
knowledge at best, it would be better discussed privately.  Admittedly since
the issue is partly with our beloved friend, fellow and brother Brahim and
his lady we may have strong feelings, but still speculation before the fact
of a decision in regard to His Grace seems counterproductive.  I would not
like the peers of another Kingdom to judge and contradict the majority of
the peers of Artemisia on what I consider Artemisian business and I suggest
we give our Outlandish fellows that respect as well.
 
That being said, I do support Sir Daniel completely in his belief that the
BoD has no place in the peer politics of individual Kingdoms.
 
But if the BoD is asked to interfere by the populace and peers, who do we
have to blame but ourselves?
 
Sincerely and with respect to all those involved in this issue and
discussion,
 
Sir Conrad von Zuberbuhler 
Artemisia
