From The Page (May, 1978):
AN TIR CORONETTING FESTIVAL -- May 13
The An Tir Coronetting Festival will be in the Barony of Three Mountains, May 13. It will be in the First Congregational Church, <address omitted>, in Portland, Ore.
First Court is to begin at 4 p.m., with a second Court following immediately. Food will be served at approximately 6:30.
No alchol is allowed in the church, so the Barony will provide spiced apple cider and fruit juice to drink and Cornish game hen halves to eat. To cover the costs of all this, everyone past the age of 12 will be charged $1.50 at the door.
Autocrat/Contact: Baron Dietrich.
From the History (by Wilhelm):
Held at the First Congregational Church, Portland, OR. A Curia Regis was held. King Gregory and Queen Bevin attended.
![]() Steingrim Stallari Paly of six Or and sable, a fess counterchanged. |

Annotations:
“I believe this is the event that I attended alone, Gregory
being otherwise committed. I'd been given authority to create
Laurels and Pelicans at the recommendation of the Laurels and Pelicans
of An Tir (which I did, at least one of each) and to knight any
fighter strongly recommended by the chivalry of An Tir (which
they didn't, at that time). It was a fine event!” – Bevin Fraser or Sterling

Disclaimer: This history may have errors in it, as much of the detail is “remembered” history, or as one of the cover pages of the original type-written manuscript states “The material within is derived from the information printed in The Crown Prints and in The Page, and from the memories of the participants.” The original document was typed on onion-skin paper, with hand-written notes (often in the margins). All attempts have been made to reconcile the notes with the original document.
Annotations, when they are added, are from The Annotated History of the West, Volume 1, which is the same text as Master Wilhelm's mentioned above, with commentary from members of the SCA who were active at the time of the event, and are added to help clarify questions and expand on what happened and why.
