On This Date in History
On May 2, 1536 Anne Boelyn, Queen of England, was arrested and imprisoned on charges of adultery, incest, treason, and witchcraft. Anne became
pregnant in late 1535, but her position was nonetheless precarious. King Henry VIII’s first wife, Catherine of Aragon, died in January of 1536, and it became apparent that he now had the opportunity to court and marry another
woman without the taint of illegality that had plagued his marriage to Anne.
Henry had begun courting Jane Seymour, who was to become his next bride
Anne did not accept this courtship lightly, and her relationship with Jane
was openly adversarial. Henry was unhorsed in a tournament around this time
as well, and received a head injury so severe that he was unconscious for over

two hours. Anne attributed the shock of this event to her miscarriage a few
days later, and it is likely that Henry’s head injury contributed to his increasingly erratic behavior. Anne caught Jane sitting on Henry’s lap in his chambers within the next few days, and she miscarried on the date of Catherine of
Aragon’s funeral. Though the child seemed to have been male, it was so early
in the pregnancy that it was impossible to tell.
The King’s desperation for a son and heir and popular belief at the time that
miscarriages were attributable to all sorts of ill intentions on the part of the
mother further complicated the situation. As Anne recovered from the miscarriage, Jane Seymour was moved into the royal quarters and Henry began to
declare that he had been drawn into his marriage with Anne by spells and deception.
By May, Anne had been charged and tried for adultery, incest, and treason,
and she was executed by beheading at the Tower of London on May 19. Henry
married Jane on May 30, but she was dead of postpartum complications following the birth of their only son, later known as Edward VI.

Their Excellencies’ Missive
Greetings Arn Hold,
There are many things happening in the Barony as we all go into Spring. Outdoor practices,
events, and demos are on the schedule.
First, We would like to mention the Crown tournament that was hosted by Arn Hold. We have
received MANY accolades for the list field setup, the lunch, and the general experience of the
event. Well done!
Also in April it was Our pleasure to attend Honor War in the northern lands. Although we fell
short in our quest to retain our port, Arn Hold turned out in force and Lord Aonghus and Lady Merin won A&S and Bardic championships. Vivat!
There are many happenings in the month of May....the Dancing Moose event, the Museum Day
demo, and also school demos so check schedules and announcements for those.
In closing, We wish to note the passing of one of our own, His Excellency Master Armand de
Mortes, third Baron of Arn Hold. He will be sorely missed.
In Service,
Sir Balenor and Lady Teaghan,
Baron and Baroness

Random Carp That I Have Learned…
A look at modern practices and their medieval sources
by K. Braden von Sobernheim
The Morisco population of Spain numbered as many as one million after the
expulsions of 1492 formally booted Muslims and Jews from the land. Besides the
Alhambra, these residents of al-Andalus also created buñuelos. These were originally simple, wheat-based yeast dough, flavored with anise, rolled thin, cut into
small pieces, and then deep fried and finished with a sweet topping. They could
also be filled with a variety of things, both sweet and savory. They were either
round ball shapes or disc shaped.
The Sephardic Jews took this dish with them when they left Spain and used
them as a holiday treat during Hanukah called sfen (from the Arabic word for
sponge:sfenj), as Hanukah foods are supposed involve oil, and these would soak
up oil like a sponge when fried.
These oil balls or oilcakes (called oliebollen or oliekoek in Dutch) came to the
new world with the Dutch in the 18th century, and by the early 19th century the
nut of dough from the center of the pastry (a dough-nut) appeared in American
cookbooks in its modern form. And now you know more random carp.
Blast From the Past
This feature is a chance for members of our proud Barony to share their SCA roots. This
month’s selection is from His Excellency, Viscount Sir Etienne du Pre. He says:
“I would like to submit a photo from roughly 20 years ago. I do not remember the exact year
but most likely 1996-1998. It is from the Boise Ren Faire when the JC's still ran it at the fairgrounds. From the bottom right to left: Sir Morgan, Lord Calvin (my first squire), Lord Connor (aka Cal) maker of the current Arn Hold thrones! Middle (left to right): Lord Azir (at that
time), Lord Thorvald. Standing (right to left): Lord Arin de Paladin (Taking great pleasure at
bonking Morgan on the head!), Lord Wendell the Badger (at that time)
To submit your own blast from the past, email [email protected].
Attention Arn Hold Archers!
Wax your bowstrings, oil your bows, clean out your quivers, and get ready for archery season!
Please bring your gear, membership cards, and ideas to the following gatherings:
April 29th- Nampa Bow Chiefs
May 6th- NBC
May 27th- Scofield Ranch.
As many of you may know we are expecting a new foal here on the ranch in the middle of May, so
practices may be cancelled last minute if I have to be home, and that is why there are no practices
scheduled for the middle two weeks. m'Lord Pieter has volunteered to become Deputy Archery Captain
and as soon as his marshallate paperwork is completed I hope to pass on a few archery practices to him
every month so we can be more consistent. Thank you for your understanding and I hope to see you
this coming Friday at the NBC!
