Kingdom Arts and Sciences Champion, THL Pheobus Craythorne

Congratulations to the Honorable Lord Pheobus Craythorne, our current Kingdom Arts & Sciences Champion!

Pheobus has been developing his craft making parchment for years and won championships with a research paper on the prevalence and availability of parchment from ancient times to the middle ages.

 

What is the Arts and Sciences Champion?

 The Arts and Sciences Champion is a title bestowed upon the winner of the Kingdom Arts and Sciences Championship, an A&S competition held once per calendar year in the Fall reign. The champion is invited to process and stand among the other champions in every Kingdom Court and is traditionally given the right of first refusal to represent Æthelmearc on the Known World stage (usually Pennsic War Point).
