When the Crown Lists have been completed, the victor shall be borne forward before Their Majesties, and the Herald shall summon the populace to witness what shall follow.
HERALD
__________, victor of the field,
Their Majesties command you
to present yourself and your lady
before the Throne of Caid.
The victor and his lady approach the Thrones, bow, and kneel. The King and Queen stand, taking the crescent pendants in Their hands; the rosemary wreaths will be held close at hand, in readiness.
KING
__________,
by your valor and skill,
you have most nobly advanced the honor of your lady,
and won to yourself the office and estate
of al-Caid, Crown Prince of this Kingdom.
The King places the crescent pendant around the victor's neck. Taking the rosemary wreath, he holds it over the victor's head, saying:
KING
Receive this wreath of rosemary
in token of the valor and skill
which brought you victory.
The King places the wreath on the victor's head.
QUEEN
Lady __________,
by your gentle grace and beauty,
you have inspired your champion
to victory and a Crown this day.
The Queen places the crescent pendant around the lady's neck. Taking the rosemary wreath, she turns to the Crown Prince, saying:
QUEEN
Prince __________,
I pray you to take this wreath of rosemary and roses,
and to crown your lady
Queen of Love and Beauty,
Lady Caid, Crown Princess of this Kingdom.
The Crown Prince takes the wreath and places it on his lady's head. They rise and are invited to their places on either side of the Thrones, as the Herald exhorts cheers from the populace.
