This is in the style of "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," and is particularly evocative of the first stanza of that poem. Written in honor of Baron Angus Kerr’s elevation to the Order of the Laurel. Read at his Baronial Court at the War of the Roses in AS44.
Since these tiresome times | were protested in the West |
The era’s foes founded | a new-formed society – |
Some of them settled | on the sun-drenched shores, |
Others went Eastward | past Ostgardr’s towers |
These folk emblazoned their banner | with a beast unrivaled |
The taut-sinewed tiger, | terrible and fierce. |
The leaders of this land, | a line of great monarchs, |
Set over their subjects | sage-like nobles |
Barons and baronesses | who were brave and honorable, |
Tireless protectors | of territory and folk. |
Brightest of these Baronies | lay on the Border West |
And was called Concordia | of the cold snows |
Its baron was the bearer | of a black-hued spear |
A clever craftsman – | a carpenter and framer, |
Well-spoken and wise, | a wealth of knowledge |
and lore! | |
We call him Angus Kerr | |
The King’s man to the core | |
The laurel leaves he’ll wear | |
A Master evermore |
