Description:
Coronation of Wilhelm and Genevieve,
Their Royal Highnesses of the Kingdom of Atlantia
On April 4, 2026, The Kingdom of Atlantia joins to witness and celebrate the Coronation of Wilhelm and Genevieve, as They step forward to assume the Crown. This day marks both continuity and renewal—honoring the traditions that have shaped Atlantia while embracing the living legacy of its people today.
In keeping with this vision, Their Royal Highnesses invite the populace to
participate in a kingdom-wide Pilgrimage, inspired by the great Caminos
of history. Throughout the day, attendees will journey through a series
of stations hosted by the Baronies of Atlantia.
Each Barony is asked to present a unique offering reflecting its identity: honoring those nobles who have gone before, uplifting those who serve and inspire now, and celebrating the arts, skills, and pursuits for which the Barony is known—be it martial, scholarly, artistic, or otherwise.
Please Note: Their Majesties request a great court for Morning and Afternoon Court, both with processional.
The day will also feature:
- A Heavy Fighting Tourney
- A Rapier Tourney
- Archery activities
- A&S Display and Competition
- A sumptuous dayboard, available throughout the day for all to enjoy.
This Coronation is envisioned not only as a moment of fealty
and pageantry, but as a living walk through Atlantia’s shared past, present, and future—crafted by the hands and hearts of its people.
All are welcome to attend, to walk the pilgrimage, to bear witness, and to celebrate the ascension of Their Royal Highnesses.
