Coronation, Gleann Abhann

Part of my interest in attending SCA events outside of An Tir and Tir Righ, is to note the differences.  The major differences I noticed for the coronation were as follows.
The new king placed the crown on his own head, then took the oath of office from an officer (I do not know the posotion of the officer receiving the oath).  He then stood aside as his consort did the same action and oath.  In both cases the previous King and Queen were not on stage, a very different scene from what I am used to with the sitting royals placing the crown first on the head of the Heir who won the tourney, and that person crowning their Inspiration.

The swearing of fealty oaths within An Tir that I recall went along the lines of Champions, Knights, Laurels, Pelicans, Landed barons/baronnesses, household/retinue, genereal populace.  The order done there was Skald, Royal Peers, Entourage, Landed barons/baronnesses, Knights, Laurels, and Pelicans.
I did not go to their second court which was held shortly after in a different building, and I believe the general populace was invited to swear fealty at that time.
The words of the oaths were different, but the meaning was the same, and the emotions of those involved were nice to see, smiling faces approaching the thrones, serious demeanor during the oath, and smiling faces upon completion.

One of the other differences in style I noted was during the Champion Tourney, when a number of the fighters as well as saluting Crown, Inspiration, and Opponent added in Populace as well.  A nice touch I thought.

All in all a very nice event, held on the same site as Gulf Wars with far far fewer attendees.
