Eagleshire
A Duchy of the Emerald Hills located in Denton, TX.
History
Founded in October of 1992 by Dame Squeak! and Sir Archangel and Silverthone. It is located in Denton, Texas and is the longest active park in the Emerald Hills. When Emerald Hills moved from a Static Crown system (at Tanglewood) to a Floating Crown system, it was the first park to receive the crown in December 1993 for the Reign of King Wolverine and Regent Squeak!
(Technically true, I suppose. The 1st non-Tanglewood resident to hold the Crown was Ivan Belantine of Ironcloud in Dec of 1990, but at that time Tanglewood had been abandoned and everyone had moved to Ironcloud, making Ironcloud the default location for the static Crown.)
For a time, Eagleshire was demoted to Barony for lack of attendance, but a recent growth spurt has brought their numbers back up. In June of 2009, Eagleshire was restored to Duchy status.
