-==History==
-For the first years of its existence, the Principality of An Tir followed its parent kingdom's lead and had three reigns per year. Additionally, the Coronet Tournament and Coronet Investiture were held at the same event. As someone was heard to say, "Arrive a nobody, go home Prince." The combination Tournament and Investiture events were held in late August or early Sept, early March, and mid- to late-June. The last combination event was held on 28 June X/1975.
-Beginning in Oct X/1975, the Coronet event calendar was adjusted to six events per year, separating the Coronet Tournament from the Investiture. The first stand-alone Coronet Tournament took place on 18 Oct X/1975 followed by An Tir's first Twelfth Night Investiture on 3 Jan X/1976.
-[[Ulfred and Valkyrie|The first time Ulfred was prince]] (XIII/1978-79), he decided that it was too difficult
-to schedule three outdoor Coronet Tournaments to take place in dry weather and created the Coronet/Crown Event calendar we still have today: May Crown Tournament, July Coronation, September Crown Tournament, and Twelfth Night Coronation.
