The following memories were taken from the MidRealm List of memories of
the first Royal that impressed a person.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first Royal that I ever met was Osis. It was after Cynnabar's event
called "Faire at the Tower". I had been helping out in the kitchen all day
(oh, btw, this was my first ever event in the SCA (ok, so I'm a cook in real
life , too)) and I had changed into mundanes and was helping clean up the
feast hall when he called me over. He asked if I had helped with the feast
and I said yes. He then gave me a token on a ribbon and said that the feast
was the only thing that went right for him that day. I still have that
token and I still remember that moment (ok, I also remember the homemade
chocolate cheesecake that the gentle who was with Osis gave me)

My first reigning Royal was at my first event WW2. It was Osis. I think
the biggest impression he left was that he wanted to be sure everyone was
having as much if not more fun than him. I was also impressed with the way
that he wanted to be sure that the scrolls which were presented to people
and the scribes that had made them were appreciated. It was funny how the
night started out with him showing a scroll and the populace being
appreciative all went OOOOOHHHH, because the scroll was gorgeous as most
are. Slowly through the night it got longer and soon it was OOOOOHHHH
AAAAAHHHHH OOOOOOO!! Finally about 3/4 of the way through some group
started OOOOOHHHH AAAAAHHHHH OOOOOOOSIS!!! At which point I think he just
about cracked up. For the rest of the night that was how spectacular
things were appreciated. And he took it all in stride and let the populace
have fun with it. His reign held the best courts that I have seen.
Everyone had fun at them I think, even when they went long. He very much
impressed me.
