		+	funds separately from his own.
		+
		+	LAST AND MOST IMPORTANT of all, is
		+	the Supreme Autocrat, for without the Supreme Autocrat you can’t get
		+	a chapter of the Society started. The Supreme Autocrat is the person
		+	who “stages” the Tournaments, Revels, or whatever. He is the unselfish
		+	person who does all the legwork of arranging a place and time,
		+	contacting the people who must come if the event is to be a success,
		+	and seeing to it that everything works. This position, like that of
		+	the King, is limited by time,; it is unfair to ask anyone to carry this
		+	much weight for more than one Tourney, so the Supreme Autocrat takes
		+	on only one event. He may do a repeat performance as soon as he wants,
		+	but usually he doesn’t want. ((He’s usually too tired to enjoy his
		+	own Tourney,,,,MZB)) He attains this lofty position by volunteering
		+	to the King and the Seneschal, and he is solely responsible for the
		+	one Tournament he takes on. (As a footnote to this, it should be noted
		+	that the Supreme Autocrat may hold other positions as well. For
		+	instance, the King may decide to autocrat his own tournaments and if
		+	there is no volunteer, the duty falls automatically on the Seneschal.)
		+	There is no permanent glory to being an autocrat, but people are
		+	generally very appreciative, and really special events bring on really
		+	special appreciativeness.
		+
		+	IN ADDITION TO THE KING, there is the
		+	Queen. In addition to the Dukes, the Dukes Ladies. Also the Ladies
		+	Of the Seneschal, the Herald, and the Autocrat, also the Chancellor of
		+	The Exchequer. The Knights and Masters, of course, also have ladies,
		+	And probably households as well – squires, pages, fosterlings, sons
		+	and daughters, ladies in waiting, functionaries and assistants of all
		+	manner and description. Presto, the King has a court….to this
		+	conglomeration may be added whatever functionaries the Crown may wish.
		+	A dancing master is handy to teach the dances of the period. If you
		+	have a dancing master, you will need musicians for the music of the
		+	period. A Troubadour is desirable, if you can find one, and a Jester
		+	to alleviate tensions that weigh heavy on the heads of state. People
		+	who can cook period dishes are always welcome, as are those expert in
		+	the construction of medieval clothing. Bards, poets, mimes, singers
		+	and jongleurs, as well as merry clerics of all descriptions, and
		+	let us not forget visitors from far lands! Though we specialize in
		+	Western European culture, we have no aversion to visitors from pre-
		+	1650 Africa, India or the Orient.
		+
		+	…you may wonder if this is not all
		+	a bit too complicated, a bit too much effort. The Society is only
		+	three years old. It started with a Tourney in the Lady Diana’s back
		+	yard. Yet with only three years behind us, we have had all of the
		+	above, plus a bagpiper, a Spanish theater group, three separate
		+	concerts to play music, a functioning armorer’s guild, an Artisan’s
		+	guild, a small war, participation in the gigantic Renaissance Pleasure
		+	Faire, a Game of Chess with living pieces who fight it out for a square,
		+	a mime troup, plays, recitations, and many things my mind will not
		+	conjure back for the moment (belly-dancers, kidnappings, intrigues
		+	and sorceries!) The possibilities are infinite. And the numbers of
		+	people who appear as if from nowhere to offer their services in amazing
		+	and ingenious capacities are nearly as large. There is something for
		+	nearly everyone.
		+
		+	IN FACT, the only thing there is not much room for
		+	Is that particular beast of the 20th century, the Scoffing Spectator.

		+	with the King in ceremony. The Dukes act as an advisory committee to
		+	the King, on matters in the conduct of the Tourney, and in cases where
		+	the King may be called to judge a certain match. + + + If a man
		+	shows great prowess on the field of honor, as well as great chivalry,
		+	the King, with the advice and consent of his fighting nobles, may
		+	call him forth to be offered knighthood. The man may accept, and
		+	become a Knight of the Society, or …may refuse and be awarded the
		+	title of Master Fighter, which is socially equivalent to that of
		+	knight but does not carry a patent of nobility or the appellation “sir.”
		+
		+	IF A MAN OR WOMAN perform some noteworthy service to the Society,
		+	he or she may be awarded the Order of the Laurel and the titles Master
		+	or Mistress of whatever service they may have performed. This rank is
		+	also equivalent to knight, and provides recognition for those men who
		+	do not wish to fight, and to women, who…are not allowed to.
		+
		+	ALL of the
		+	above ranks, save that of King, are permanent, and are awarded by the
		+	crown….there are also ranks which are not to much won as volunteered
		+	for.
		+
		+	The SENESCHAL is First Servant to the Crown. His job is to
		+	maintain the Kingdom between tourneys, to be sure that events will
		+	take place, to keep in touch with the board of Directors…because
		+	he is a continuing functionary, he is the person who must sign papers
		+	for the use of public facilities, take on the majority of the public
		+	relations work for the Kingdom, ..and in general be the Royal
		+	workhorse. Because of the legal responsibilities…the person
		+	occupying the office of Seneschal must be over 21 years old and
		+	acceptable to the Board of Directors. He is appointed at his own
		+	request by the Crown, and may speak for the Crown in the absence of the
		+	King….*
		+
		+	In terms of rank the Seneschal is equivalent to a Duke; but
		+	as the position is appointive, he may be dismissed by the Crown,
		+	provided the Crown has a replacement who is approved by the Board of
		+	Directors.
		+
		+	IF A TOURNAMENT is to be conducted in such a way
		+	that people know what is going on, there is need for a Court Herald.
		+	The prime qualifications for a Herald are a loud, untiring voice, and
		+	an ability to handle practically any situation. He must act as
		+	master of ceremonies, and convey to the assembled populace whatever
		+	words the king may wish to convey…. He may wish, as well, to
		+	keep in touch with the King of Arms in regard to the construction and
		+	registration of Arms, these also being matters of Heraldry. The
		+	Herald also is equivalent to a Duke and this position too is appointive
		+	by the Crown.
		+
		+	A chancellor of the Exchequer is a handy thing to have,
