Ynys Fawr Baronial Investiture – Ynys Fawr – 27-28 June 2026

As dawn turns to dusk and ink runneth dry, the time hath come for Ynys Fawr to honour those who have held these lands in strength, and to turn the page unto a new chapter. Join us for a weekend of royal celebration, as we bid Baron David and Baroness Arabella a worthy and honourable farewell. And by candlelight, in the company of friends held dear, we shall raise our voices in glad acclaim to welcome our new Baron and Baroness: Lord Tosti Vicherovich Bogolyubskiy and Lady Sybil de Speresholt. All are welcome to come forth, share in the merriment, and bear witness to this turning of the age within the Barony we hold so dear.
