Friends,
I have no good way to share this news.
With great sadness, I write to inform you that Countess Genevieve du Vent Argent, OP, OL, Lady of the Rose, 4th Baroness of the Debatable Lands, and beloved friend of many, passed from this world quite suddenly on Wednesday morning, October 29th.
I’m sure this is shocking for everyone learning of this. Know that as best as we can tell, her death was quick and relatively painless, most likely a heart attack that had presented no warning signs. She had had no complaint even hours before it happened. Many of us saw her at Agincourt and can take comfort in the fact that her final weeks, days, and hours were filled with wonderful memories and lots of love.
Master Tofi is doing about as well as can be expected given this sudden turn. He is with family this weekend.
Tofi is planning to hold an Æthelmearc-focused remembrance for her at the home of Duke Byron and Duchess Ariella sometime in the coming weeks; details to follow. Other information is still pending but I’m sure we will share as we know more.
I particularly wish to commend Master William de Montegilt and Mistress Irene von Schmetterling, who were at Tofi’s side throughout this past week.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Ever in Service,
Ceindrech verch Elidir, Seneschal, Debatable Lands
