The arms of Baron Hrolf Ulfsson

Calontir, the Golden Falcon gathers together to mourn the loss of Baron Hrolf Ulfsson who passed from this life on September 3 of A.S. LIX. Baron Hrolf was a presence in the early days of Calontir and he witnessed Calontir grow from a Principlality of the Middle Kingdom into its own proud Kingdom. He was first awarded arms from the Middle Kingdom during the reign of Prince Brummbar and Princess Valmai on February 26 A.S. XVII. His service to the first Crown of Calontir was well beyond the call of duty and as such, he was greatly honored by King Chepe and Queen Arwyn beginning with Companionship into the Order the Leather Mallet for his skill at leatherwork and for his research. He was called to be their Thegn and was honored with a Court Baronage on September 15, A.S. XIX. Pennsic XIII saw the first Calontir Royal Pavilion, giving the Kingdom a place to gather and revel after the battles. This first Royal Pavilion was the creation of Baron Hrolf. Many songs have been sung in the shade of Calontir Living Room, including some written by Baron Hrolf himself. Such were his contributions to Calontir that Queen Arwynn declared him to be one of the first recipients of the Queen’s Endorsement of Distinction.

Baron Hrolf’s talents were not limited to singing and songwriting. King Throvald and Queen Branwyn awarded Hrolf a Golden Calon Swan for his skill at costuming and cardweaving on June 11, A.S. XXII. For his ongoing service to Calontir, King Voelkmar and Queen Isadorra entered Hrolf onto the roles of the Order of the Torse on October 21, A.S. XXIII.

Baron Hrolf is survived by his wife, Lady Swietoslawa Jolanta Leszxzynska, his daughters Hillary, Alex, and Maureen, and several grandchildren. Let Baron Hrolf be remembered with honor whenever Calontir gathers under the Royal Pavilion and whenever the Falcon Family raises their voices in camraderie and song.
