Aibhilin inghean Daibhidh           (Trimaris)
    Aibhilin is a performing artist participating in arts ranging from bardic to Commedia dell'Arte
and everything in between. Whether it is theater, dance band or choir, it isn't hard to convince
her to show up. She currently hails from Trimaris but has lived in Drachenwald, Ansteorra,
Outlands and Caid.

Northshield when it was still a Middle Kingdom Principality. She moved to the East and the Shire
of Panther Vale in A.S. XLVI. In addition to the performing arts, she focuses on poetry. She
enjoys embroidery, beading, and helping people with their research. She delights in delving into
research of any type. Personal interests include the history of marginalized people, Book curses,
and the Robin Hood legends. There isn't enough time to study all her interests. She uses standard
feminine pronouns (she/her/hers).
Alizaundre de Brebeuf         (Flaming Griffen Mid-Realm)
    48th year in the SCA. I've run over 30 major feasts. I've run the Madison Rive seige cooking contest
at Pennsic for more than 20 years.
Amelie d'Anjou         (Grey Gargoyles Mid-Realm)
   

Ananda Barineau Valiant da Firenze         (Winged Hills Mid-Realm)
    Joined SCA in 1987 in Oldenfeld, Trimaris but have moved around alot since then (Meridies, back
to Trimaris, Atlantia, Ansteorra, & now Mid-Realm). I'm a social cook who prefers to be in a
kitchen with ~12 other folks cooking for ~200 but cooking by myself, for myself bores me silly. I
also like Bardic Circles & Middle-Eastern dancing.

Ariella of Thornbury           (Debatable Lands Æthelmearc)
   

Arwyn of Leicester                 (Borealis Avacal)
    I'm Arwyn of Leicester sometimes known as Amira al-'Aliyya and I currently live in the kingdom of
Avacal. I have been in the SCA since 1991 and helped out many member's wedding feasts initially.
I started doing food recipe redaction back then and loved cooking over the fire (a skill I had
before I joined the SCA). I spent a lot of time doing other things (heraldry, heavy fighting,
officer positions) but always turned back to my love of food. In 2012, I started doing recipe
ingredient analysis of spices and why they were used (microbiological inhibition for food
pathogens, economics, etc). Most of all, I loved dispelling the myth that people used spices to
cover up rotten meat!

I then expanded into the protein use, bone artifacts and used new research from carbon and
nitrogen isotope analysis which further dispels some myths about what poorer classes ate
for protein but also what people did on fast days.

As you can see, I love combining my real world chemical engineering experience in the food
industry, new and exciting scientific research and recipe and ingredient analysis. It's the
basis of the gastronomy trend in restaurants today and we can use it to unlock our medieval
palate. In December 2019, TRM Ivarr and Asney elevated me to the laurel for it.

Biatrichi Malatesta Canzionari di Palermo         (Loch Soilleir Ansteorra)
    I am Magnifica Bia, musician, poet, percussionist, laurel, and former Kingdom Bard of Ansteorra. I am the widow of Luciano
Malatesta who was lost at sea (which is not as expensive to arrange as one expects). I am living between Venice, Sicily and
Ansteorra, performing and trading olive oil and influence in the year 1470.

Mundanely, I have been performing since the age of three, singing in numerous choirs and playing the bass guitar.. I studied
under Buck Ross of the University of Houston Moore’s Opera Company, Charles Hausmann of the Houston Symphony
Chorus, Jason Oby Chair of the Texas Southern University School of Music, and Dean Dalton, Classical Music Director for
KUHF. I specialize in the music of the Mediterranean rim, and play just about every plucked instrument you can think of. I
can usually be found at events, playing at the foot of the Ansteorran Court.

Caterina da Savona         (An Tir)
    I first joined the SCA in 2019, so most of my
interactions so far have been virtual. My
persona is late 14th century northern Italian
with some French influence. My main
interest is sewing and historical fashions,
but we also do a lot of home brewing,
gardening, and cooking. I'm now trying to
learn a
little bit about music as an adult! I recently
got my first instrument, a plucked psaltery,
and I'm trying to sort this thing out....
Cedric Fithelere       (Ansteorra)
    Cedric Fithelere, OL, was the Twelfth Premier Bard of Ansteorra as well as a Lion of Ansteorra.
He plays music professionally and is half of a moderately famous duo called the Bedlam Bards. In
his day job, he teaches hypnotic storytelling and employs that tool to help people overcome all
manner of hang-ups, including stage fright.
Cerian Cantwr           (Tree-Girt-Sea Mid-Realm)
   
I am the Autocrat for Known World Cooks & Bards (for my sins, which clearly must be many). If you've got any bardic related questions about the event, send them my way.

Cerian Cantwr is a bard in the mid-15th century. He can be found wandering the land entertaining the populace with song, story, and poem.

In the SCA, he does much the same and has spent 7 years as seneschal of Tree-Girt-Sea in expiation of his sins. During his spare (hah) time, he maintains far too many SCA web sites and has been drafted back from retirement as the co-provost for Mid-Realm Bardic Madness. He is squired to Sir Galem Lionel Ostwestly and Duke Comar gyr Mirand.

Charles Grab is an independent computer consultant in the early 21st century. He can be found wandering the land building databases, applications, and system designs.

Cerian can be heard on some of John Inchingham's CDs - available either from him or at the merchant booths of Celtic Sun or John ap Wynne.

I currently have four apprentices, one foster apprentice, one ex-apprentice, and one ward:
THL Beatrice de Winter [Rhydderich Hael, Æthelmearc]
THL Juliane Bechaumpe [Cleftlands]
THL Llwelyn Glyndwr (aka Llwelyn Glyndyverdwy) [Cleftlands]

Dietrich von Sachsen         (Ramshaven Ealdormere)
    Born in the Year of Our Lord 1223, Dietrich von Sachsen is the third son of a minor nobleman from Laußig, north-east of Leipzig. Realizing that the odds of inheriting enough of his father’s estate to support himself were slim at best, Dietrich set north to Prussia to serve as a “guest crusader” with the Teutonic Order in Prussia - though he was badly injured during the Order's disastrous defeat at the Osa river.

The Honourable Lord Dietrich von Sachsen is presently the Kingdom Bard of Ealdormere, serving under King Rattanicus and Queen Isabel. He is a singer, poet, wordsmith, herald, fighter, coinmaker, and more besides.

and the occasional filk. He is a joint student of Master Peregrine the Illuminator of the East
Kingdom, and Master Toki Skáldagörvir of Æthelmearc. Previously, he had been apprenticed to
Mesterno Tyzes Sofia (called Zsof) of the Midrealm, and studied under Maistre Lucien de Pontivy
of the East Kingdom. He has served as Consort's Bard of the East, and Baronial Bard of Concordia
of the Snows.

Dúgū Jìnán     (Jararvellir Northshield)
    Dúgū Jìnán lives under the rule of the Tuoba emperors in the State of Wei in Northern China, at
the turn of 4th and 5th century CE. She manages the household for her husbands and serves in the
inner quarters of the imperial palace. She is quite skilled in materia medica which includes
preparation of fragrances and cosmetics.
Éadaoin Ruadh         (Rhyderich Hael Æthelmearc)
    Game-wise, Éadaoin grew up fighting,
shooting, and punning in the Dragon Lands
under Patrick von Brandenburg's guidance.
Life made her mundane person move to
Æthelmearc, where she quickly fell back in
with old friends from Dagorhir who cross
game into SCA, and began the ill fated
career of making people cry and groan at
her music and poetry. She earned the
Hael's Baronial Bard recognition, along
with Æthelmearc's Seven Pearls Bardic
Champion, and later the kingdom's Sylvan
Bard sash as their Plague Bard, though she
attributes it all to a lucky young goat
sacrifice--no kidding!

Éadaoin continues filking, exploring,
songwriting, and making merry, NA cider,
books, and wood projects across (and
outside of) the known world. Irish and
other Celtic inspirations, putting a spin
on societal norms, nature, and strong
female figures are her favorite topics.
She currently manages the Æthelbards'
website, minions for several camps and
merchants at Pennsic, and attends circles
as she can. Chances are you'll find her at
the bardic fire at any given rising of the
moon.

Emelote of Calais         (Skraeling Althing Ealdormere)
    The Honourable Lady Emelote of Calais (pronounced: Ehm-eh-loh) was born in Calais, France in
1494. She is the only child from her parents. Her Father was a Merchant of the Staple of Calais
and was influential in the wool trade in Calais. Being the only child, her Father thought it
wise to educate her in the wool business so that she may ensure the family legacy, no matter
the man she married. Her family spent time between Calais and their wool estates in the
Chichester area of England.

Emelote was first introduced to the SCA from a TV Program called Adrienne Clarkson Presents in
which the presenter followed the King and Queen of Ealdormere to Pennsic (1998). At the time
she had no idea what the SCA was and searched on what little was available online. She found
the Canton of Caldrithig (Ottawa, Canada) and attended her first feast in 1999 and recalls the
food was amazing. It wouldn't be until a chance meeting at a party in 2007 that would forever
change her.

That meeting had her fall into the realm of historical cooking and never looking back!

I enjoy serving the crown as entourage when I'm not in the kitchen. I love anything to do with
the fibre arts and have a passion in doing illuminated images. My motto is: Mei modi ridiculum
(My kind of ridiculous) and I am all about the rabbit hole. I enjoy showing the interested
public what we do in the SCA and meeting new people!

Hilla Stormbringer       (Ravenslake Mid-Realm)
    I am the Grand Vizier (advisor) for Known World Cooks & Bards.

Persona:
Hilla is the eldest child and only daughter of Hama Ealdorman and his wife Leofrun. Though she is a
capable enough cook and aid in household duties, and though she can darn a sock like no one's
business, her true skill is as a scop. She loves to sing and craft songs and tales, and tell old
legends in the feasting hall. Storms follow her wherever she goes.

SCA:
Hilla can be seen (or at least heard) at events, singing, singing, singing,causing mischief and
mayhem, and random telling of stories. Her other activities include occasional illumination, missing
archery targets, and attempting to not bleed on embroidery. She is apprenticed to Master Cerian
Cantwr, and accordingly, finally learned how to spell 'Cantwr'. Contrary to popular belief, Hilla
cannot control the weather. (Disclaimer: Hilla cannot independently confirm the veracity of the
last statement.)

Hilla is the current Bard of the Midlands.

fire Lady or Queen of the breakfasts, you choose. My one true love in the SCA is anything Irish. I live in Tipperary and will
cook you a meal, a feast, a tidbit based on the Irish ages. There are no written manuscripts , but there are story, and myths
which gives us an inside to what people ate , I prove that certain ingredients were available in the Bronze Age, the Iron Age,
in Viking times, In Anglo Norman times etc.. Then I cook, corresponding type foods. Alas I am not a bread maker but a biscuit
maker, and having taken the Golden Rose challenge in baking nine different biscuits. As I said before I have
Keen interest in basically Irish stuff and can sometimes can find that piece of information you need to start a project, prove a
point or just answer a question that you don’t know about where to start. I look at whole picture rather than one bit and yes
go down many rabbit holes which in turn joins together to make a Warren or the bigger picture, who people were, their
influence, where they lived and they died etc. I have cooked many breakfasts, lunches and feast. My food is now based on
my own research, My main goal when cooking is taking my budget and making it go as far as I can. I have substantial pot
herb garden, I will beg and borrow and forage to make my food authentic, I will finish with my favourite herb is wild garlic, I
cook simply and my dishes usually only have 5-6 ingredients letting good food do the rest.
I am currently Seneschal of the Barony of Eplaheimr, I joined the SCA with two young boys who have are men now my
life changed the day I found SCA.

Sciath ingen Chaennaig             (Ealdormere)
    Born in the small village of Kyleakin, on An t-Eilean Sgitheanach in the shadow of the red hills of
Sgurr na Coinnich, in the Year of Our Lord 1262, when Rí Alban was Alaxandair mac Alaxandair was king,
Sciath ingen Chaennaig (pronounced SKY-ah) is the eldest daughter of a sea merchant who married a
minor noblewoman from Srath Chluaidh. As her father's business kept him away, it was thought best for
Sciath, her sister (Suannoch), and her mother (Jonet) if they moved to Srath Chluaidh, and closer to
the security of the family. Once established in Bute, Sciath was taught to run a noble household. Her
father's stories of his travels made her dream of the wide world, and her father arranged for her
marriage to Lord Iieuan ap Gwilym, a Welshman of noble birth. She moved to Caerleon, in Gwent. This
was a far distance from home, and the language was ne'er the same. Life has been an adventure ever
since.

Magistra Sciath ingen Chaennaig lives as the territorial Baroness in the Barony of Rising Waters but
enjoys travelling the Known World to discover new people, and teaching research practices, metalwork,
heraldry and music theory.

Sǫlveig Þrándardóttir           (Delftwood Æthelmearc)
    I rather dislike writing bios about myself, but the event stewards insisted that I submit a profile. I first learned of the Society around AS
IV and managed to join the Society in AS XI. I almost made it to 40 years in the Society without a peerage. While I intended to pursue
Scandinavian studies, I failed to find the promised Old Norse textbook at the Harvard CO-OP. Instead, I found a book called "Learn
Japanese in Thirty Hours". The title LIES. I have developed a number of Japan centric interests. I wrote a “pamphlet" about premodern
Japanese names and am attempting to write a “leaflet” about premodern Japanese gastronomy. I also hope to write introductions to:
Japanese Poetry & Poetics and Kyōgen (premodern Japanese comic theatre). Within the Society, I am a heraldic groupie and general
“gadfly”.

Urtatim al-Qurtubiyya bint 'abd al-Karim al-hakam al-Fasi       (West)
    Urtatim (oor-tah-TEEM!) was born and raised in the Maghribi city of Fas (known as Fez to the Franj) where her father teaches at the University of Qayrawan, the world's oldest, continuously operating university. She makes her home in 10th century al-Andalus, in the capital city of Qurṭuba (known as Córdoba to the Franj) during the reign of the glorious Caliph 'abd al-Rahman III. She is fortunate that at this time in al-Andalus, she can be educated and have a life of responsibilities outside the confines of her family home. Here women can be doctors or lawyers or managers of great libraries. She travels for her profession, although women don't seem to have the same rights outside of al-Andalus.
Zilia Degli Giudici             (Shadowed Stars Mid-Realm)

front of others, even my own wife. Lol
I have only been in the SCA for 6 years and I have not yet learned how to speak or write in persona yet. One day, I hope to.
I am protegge (Italian for protégé) to Dame Maggie MacKeith. I am apprendista (Italian for apprentice) to Master Fairfax.
I also enjoy learning about religions and religious practices as well as cultures.
