I don't know what to say.  This seems so strange to me, this idea that
someone else holding a conflicting event is doing one some grave ill,
some act of sabotage.  And with the example you cite - a little revel
wounding a Kingdom level event....  If that is actually the case, that
Carolingia's idea of a small local event is such a wave on the water
of the kingdom calendar, we most certainly would do grave harm by
being included in a Northern Principality.
