About Their Majesties

King Ailgheanan and Queen Amber are privileged to lead the good Kingdom of Meridies until the end of Their (prophesized) long lives. They hope to travel far and wide to witness and motivate the heroic deeds of Their noble populace. For the short term, Their progress is as follows:

Kingdom Arts and Sciences June 2 Crimson River Both

The theme for the reign is Hiberno-Norse before the Norse lost power in Ireland at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014 - think Brian Boru Ireland with significant Norse synergies. They are particularly drawn to the history of the Second Viking Age (914-980) but might favor 50 years or so later for the clothes - being serfs to fashion.

They are fortunate to have two great wars at which Meridies will show its metal, Border Raids and Pennsic. They welcome not only the warriors who will make friends of enemies on the field but also the magnificent artisans who inspire and awe with their reconstructions. Any who wish to pledge goods or services to heighten the out-of-kingdom word fame of Meridies are invited to contact Their chancellors.

MSG, Sodium Nitrite, and Red Food Coloring*

Her Majesty

 

*Her Majesty has sensitivity (not true allergy) to these ingredients that result in migraines.  MSG and sodium nitrite are most often found in deli meats, hot dogs, briskets, soup stocks, and Chinese food.  If anyone is interested, there are many brands of bacon (such as Hormel Natural Choice), sausages (such as Swaggerty's All Natural Preservative Free), and hot dogs that are free of these preservatives.   Red food coloring is easily avoided, but often appears in baking mixes and sweet drinks.

 

Her Majesty’s Children

 

Her Majesty Amber and Lord Sveinn Thorbrandsson have three lovely daughters: Chloe (9), Regan (6), and Emily Grace (4). A chancellor will make advance arrangements with hosting event staff when the girls will be in attendance because of Chloe's life threatening food allergy to egg. She is anaphylactic by touch (not just ingestion) and all products containing it. A pouch with (or near) her will always contain medical instructions, Benadryl, and an Epipen Jr. Educating the populace is the best way to ensure her safety. To that end, Her Majesty would be most grateful for the following consideration when Chloe is in attendance:

  • Please refrain from offering Her Majesty’ girls any food or drink without first speaking to Herself, their father Lord Sveinn, or their onsite nanny.
  • Please have children wash their hands (or use a wet wipe) after eating since they are likely to be playing and touching shared equipment.  (Hand sanitizer alone does not remove the egg allergen)

At this time, Chloe is scheduled to attend Crown List and May Tourney.

Want to know more about egg allergies?  “Avoidance is everything.”

  • Egg can be listed in several different ways on labels.  Common names include egg, ovo-anything, whites, yolks, meringue, lysozyme, surimi, and albumen.  There are also “processed on shared equipment” warnings that alert us egg could be present.
  • Egg is an ingredient in paints (tempera), cosmetics, soaps, shampoos, and woad.  The word albumen is used most often to identify egg in these non-food products.
  • Additional information is available at www.foodallergy.org
