[SCA-AE] A poem/song for the day....

[Sunshadow at twcny.rr.com]

Correction to your lyric, The first crown went not onto the head of
Yngvar, but onto the head of his inspiration, Caryl. 
I was hoping the act of the queen being crowned first, would become
tradition in AEthelmearc. After all, the original tournaments in the SCA
were not to become King, but for the consort to be crowned "The Queen of
Love and Beauty".
