The Book of the Order of Chivalry
Translation by Todd H. C. Fischer, 2009-2011, known within
the Society of Creative Anachronism (SCA) as THLaird Colyne Stewart, valet to
Sir Nigel MacFarlane, and student to Adrielle Kerrec, OP, PL, who reigned as
the King and Queen of Ealdormere when the project began.
Blessed be the Lady
Ealdormere, who looks down on us from the stars, and whose noble heart beats
within the breast of all those who dwell in the northlands, and through whose
grace I now set my quill to parchment. Blessings also to Their Lupine
Majesties, Sir Nigel MacFarlane, and Adrielle Kerrec, who between them
represent all three Great Orders of our Society, and to whom I am bound by
oath, vow and friendship. For them have I translated this booke which is of
great interest to His Majesty, as the honour and nobility of Chivalry is deeply
wrought within him.[1]
