As some of you know, I&#8217;ve been facing several mundane challenges and as the demand for my time and energy to attend to these things increases, I&#8217;ve to make difficult choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;To my Serjeants, thank you for your ongoing dedication and demonstration of what this role truly means. I know whatever comes next, each and every one of you will protect and serve our home and whoever sits in those chairs. I release you of any oath you had to me and hold you to the oath s you have to your Barony. I know you&#8217;ll continue to serve in a manner befitting the title you&#8217;ve earned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;To our Champions, thank you for serving and defending us and our Barony. It has been a pleasure to stand with you and serve the ideals of Montengarde together.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;To my family, both SCA and mundane. I could not have faced the challenges or done the things I have done without you. Your continued support means more to me than you can ever know. I love you all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;To all of you, I want to say that I&#8217;ve loved serving as your Baroness. I want to thank each and every one of you who has been such a key part of my term. To the countless hours of service provided by our Council, our Populace, our Champions, and our Friends. There&#8217;s no words to express how your gifts have enriched our home and my time as Baroness. Thank you to each and every one of you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;And finally to my Baron, my friend and my teacher. Sitting at your side, getting to know you as I have and sharing these responsibilities will always be one of the defining highlights of my life. I can never express how proud or thankful I am that you wanted to rule with me. You and the Barony deserve a partner that can give their all and I cannot commit to this right now.\u00a0 Thank you for everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I will be taking some time off\u00a0 and hope to see you soon as Avacal returns to normal and I&#8217;m able to attend and enjoy events again.&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These are the words spoken by Her Excellency Bothilder, Baroness of Montengarde at Dragonslayer (June 19th, 2021).
