Unto Baron Thomas of Tenby,
representative of the crown of Ansteorra
Write I, Katerina Griffyn

On this day, the first of August, it is my intent to display honor and valor on the field in these battle games. I hope to gain glory through my actions and my abilities, and by continuing in the warrior tradition that the ladies in my family have long upheld.

I have proven myself on the field of combat wielding a rapier, and now I embark on a similar quest with the padded weapons you have designated for today's combat. I have passed 14 summers in my life and so I feel prepared to contest against the oldest of the combatants the you have called for this occasion.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the Baron and the other judges who will be overseeing the field today.

Yours in pursuit of the dream,

Unto Baron Thomas of Tenby does
Artorius ap Maelgwyn send greetings!

By this letter I proclaim my intent to contend in the battle games you have announced for the 1st day of the month of August in this, the 504th year of the reign of our Lord Jesus Christ. May he bless the day and all those who strive for glory therein.

Having reached twelve years of age, I hope to prove myself a skilled warrior in the eyes of my father and the other elders of our people, to display such prowess and joy-of-combat as to inspire others to pursue skill at arms, and to enjoy the challenges of hard combat against worthy opponents.

To this end I pledge my unstinting efforts, my careful attention to the rules of the lists, and my obedience to the lawful commands of such marshals as you may appoint.

So say I,

Unto Sir Brion Anthony Uriel Tarragon does Lady Eleanor fitzPatrick send greetings!
