I am the sole Elizabethan in a mercenary Viking household that is almost
defunct... There are three of us still active, and four others that at best
attend
one event a year.   If I become Baron, I will activate the "gone aviking"
clause
of our charter, for the extent of my reign.  I will personally bribe my clan
chief
to come fight for Carolingia.  ("In Odin we trust, all others pay cash."
clan motto.)
<p>
I have a new apprentice, Gisele who is a long distance apprentice in any
case.
I expect that there will be no difference in that relationship, other than I
will
still reccomend that she move back to Boston.  I may ask her to help as a
retainer at an occasional event, but that will depend on her being local at
the time..
