Scroll Text - Heinrich Bidderman - Golden Alce 2026

Kingdom of AEthelmearc - Martial Award

Come forth good gentles of the Land and know the will of your Sylvan Sovereigns. Where as anciently from the beginning, the valiant and virtuous acts of worthy persons have been commended to the world with sundry monuments and remembrances of their good skills. Heinrich Bidderman has done commendable deeds of arms as a youth fighter, and has grown into an adult, taking up the rapier and exploring the world of cut and thrust combat. It is only fitting that We should recognize his efforts and welcome him into Our Order of the Golden Alce that all may know of his worth. So say We Oliver and Grainne, on this final day of July, at Pennsic, three score and one years after the founding of The Dream.
