This Chronicle records for posterity the Prizes that have been played since the creation of the Kingdom of Lochac in July ASXXXVII (2002). It has been drawn up through the best efforts of the Provost Secretary, according to the available records, including announcements of Prize results in the Guild journal and on the Fencers List.
