Spring Crown photos

Spring Crown was held at Rockelstad castle. The oldest parts of the castle are from the 17th century and it has a beautiful park by a lake. On their web page you can read about the history of the place and see more photos.

Me posing before the castle after breakfast, which was in the old brewing house by the lake. The yellow house is the old bowling alley.




Valeria, with and without hair net. The 16th century German gown is all hand sewn and a joint project: she made the bodice and I made the skirt.





The castle





Baron Måns and I posing in our matching embroidered blue wool tunics.



The park



My one photo of the tourney. Since I sat in front I didn't think it fitting to take photos, showing a camera, so instead I sewed on a new shift for me.



Lady Tece de Kaxtone and me judging A&S competition entries



Mistress Helwig Ulfsdotter ([livejournal.com profile] helwig) and Edricus looking good in their 16th century English outfits.



Helwig and Lady Ragnhil de Kaxtone, showing English styles from different parts of the 16th century. And Ed photobombing in the back.



Me looking shiny before the feast, in the little room that Valeria and I shared.





I didn't take many photos. And actually Valeria took all the photos of me :)
But if you want more, which you certainly do, have a look at Jessica Granath's photo album on facebook. She took lots of photos both of the tourney and from inside the castle. The family still lives in it, but it was open for visitors one hour. I didn't get to see it then, because I was busy judging A&S comeptition entries, but I hope that we will have events there again.
