Annotations:
“I never met Leodamas but by repute he was an exceedingly fine gentleman with
a talent for getting people to put aside political differences and get
along together. The Barony of Calafia instituted the Leodamas of Thebes award
for those who showed something of the same talent. My then lady,
Eilonway ap Lyur, was the first recipient, much to her surprise and
not at all to the surprise of anyone who knew her. I was enlisted in
the set-up to keep her from knowing who was going to get the award.
Eilonway passed away of natural causes in 1994, leaving something of a
hole in the lives of all who knew her.” – Steven MacEanruig
