 | Bonheddwr (Lord) Cinnion map Liuelin map Higuel Douglas Needham Currently in the Kingdom of Æthelmearc AoA Award of Arms; 09/22/1987 Bonheddwr Cinnion map Liuelin map Higuel, is a Welshman from the late 11th century. I have been instructed in the arts of war, as is necessary in these times, but I also have learned a number of the more peaceful arts and sciences. This is a fascination which dates back into my younger years, when we had a great visitor in the skies which heralded the great changes of these times. I am fortunate that I have been able to travel about many countries, learning more about those things which interest me, including learning more about the likes of Ptolemy, Euclid, and others. In the modern Middle Ages, I have been in the SCA since early 1975, which I first attended a SCA event in Dernehealde with a friend a few years older than me who was visiting Ohio University as a possible college to attend. My college years had me at Tirnewydd for several years, and then back to Dernehealde for a few more, where I was the MoS for a period of time. Since graduating from college, I was a member of Shadowed Stars (Fort Wayne, IN) for several years, where I was the Heavy Weapons Marshal, and then back to Tirnewydd, where I lived while I was Middle Marches Baronial Heavy Weapons Marshal. Recently, I was a Deputy Seneschal for Border Keep, and was also the webminister for the group (I am turned this over when I moved, but continue to be the techy on call). This is because I am a computer engineer, and was laid off in mid-January 2008 from the startup company I worked for out in CA. As a result, I ended up taking a job at Carnegie Mellon University at the Parallel Data Laboratory. In SCA terms, this means that I now live in the Barony-Marche of the Debatable Lands, which is in the kingdom of Æthelmearc. Some of my interests include, Armoured Combat, Archery, Medieval Mathematics, Medieval Astronomy, Scientific Instruments, Leather Working, Armouring, Illumination, and Siege Engines. I can be reached via email at 'cinnion at ka8zrt.com' (remove the spaces). |
Cori of Dernehealde Cori isn't quite sure where or when she's from, but yarn had better be available. She's quite docile as long she has sticks and string in hands and a sock on the needles, but if a fight is what you seek, she won't turn down a round with a rapier and dagger. She can also be found sticking her nose into parties engaged in spinning, embroidery, and calligraphy. She has yet to be recognized by the Barony or Kingdom. |

Lord Cuðbriht se Breowere Cuðbriht is an 11th Century English noble who's family has always held tracts of forest and enjoyed all things outdoors. He has learned, through family tradition and English Law the use of the longbow, although he still struggles to better himself at it. He has also been a victim of wanderlust and the desire to always learn more, thus he has traveled the world, always looking over the horizon for new cultures and experiences. He has been a struggling bard for some time, and also has picked up interests in blacksmithing. Many things overseas have caught his interest, such as some of the musical instruments from the Middle East, and as far as the Far East where some of their clothing styles intrigues and interests him. Cudbriht also fights for King and Kingdom, as is only proper for a good noble, but has been on the field less often as of late due to his curse of wanderlust and, again, his desire to always learn more. He serves as both Shire and Baronial Chirurgeon, and as Archery Marshal for his Shire. He currently has the following awards for: Baronial, Kingdom. |

| Sgt. Drust MacArlith Drust is a 5th century Pict who has made his living by harrassing the Romans and Northumbrians. He has made a point to study the works (as "acquired") of Agricola (as written by the Roman historian, Tacitus) and Julius Ceasar's campaigns in the Gallic Wars. Imagine the surprise of the Romans when their own fighting tactics were turned against them. Drust has traveled a bit during his early days and managed to find himself in the lands of the Sun, where he met up with an interesting character in the form of Sör Ustad and subsequently joined his household. Whether this is seen as a good thing by the other members of the `the Dreaded` Hasan al Hajjii remains to be seen. He currently has the following awards for: Kingdom. |

Khaulah al-Zarqa' al-Kara'idi Khaulah is an 8th century Arab from northern Arabia. Not far outside Damascus, while traveling home with her tribe's merchant caravan, she wandered away from the caravan during a stop and was accidentally left behind. It was a large caravan and no one noticed until the next day; a search party was sent out but returned unsuccessful. In the meantime, another caravan on its way to Damascus found her and kindly took her with them to Damascus. When it became apparent that her tribe had given her up for dead or kidnapped by a rival group, she found employment as assistant to a merchant. This arrangement worked quite well until the Syrian merchant, unwisely, sent her to accompany a caravan of goods headed for Constantinople. Not surprisingly, Khaulah again got lost (though this time she waited until she was in the city to wander off). After the caravan left without her, she used her earnings to start a small textiles business catering to the ladies of the city. Eventually she made her way to Europe, where she finds herself now, happily traveling the world. Khaulah is fond of archery, cooking (but none of that boring European fare, with all that awful pork!), and sharing stories about her brave, wise and loyal Arabian foremothers. She also likes to dress up in European attire for fun, but she far prefers her comfortable and respectable Arab clothing. She has yet to be recognised by the Crown or Barony. |
Lady Meredith of Dernehealde Meredith Ritchie Moved to Atlantia AoA Award of Arms; 2/17/2007 |

Lady Muirenn ingen Uaithne Muirenn's background is clouded in mystery (she may have even forgotten it). All though legend has it she migrated down from Northshield in search of warmer temperatures. She has spent the last four years serving as the cherished all though some what impish Saxon of the Honorable Lady Sabine de Creuequoer. Muirenn stays busy as the current Baronial Seneschal. She also enjoys carting and packing with her dogs and goats. She's currently training her mighty war horse, Bandit. Muirenn's goal is to reauthorize in equestrian in the spring. Her other interests include juggling, diabolo, fire poi spinning, drumming, and middle eastern dance. Jessica Beckley AoA Award of Arms; 03/09/2002 - Principality of Northshield |

Lady Rowen Hen Enaid Rowen is an 11th century welsh Bard traveling between baronies trying to further her knowledge in her art and attempting to con.... I mean, bring other people into the bardic fold. She has recently developed an interest in the Turkish culture and is planning on studying their bardic tradition. Her other interests range from cooking to the scribal arts and sewing. Rowen joined the growing household of Master Brusten de Bearsul as his protege in Septemeber at Harvest Days. Her one and only office held was as Senechal of the Marche of the Winged Hills where she realized she was horrible at paperwork and should stick to smaller acts of service to the Crown.

William de Wolfe Ben May William was a happy member of Dernehealde for a year whilst he lived in the States. Currently he's alternating between being a Viking and a Saxon depending on which one allows him to use his Dane Axe in the particular century he is re-enacting. He also trains the fighters in the Oxfordshire local group of Regia Anglorum and is hoping to set off on a quest for the Holy Grail next year. He is marrying the local (to him) thane later this year, allthough at the time she will most likely be fulfilling her role as a Nikki rather than Eorl Aethulfwulf. |
Lord Wolfram von Waldersbach Terrence Fernbach Wolfram was a happy member of Dernehealde whilst he was here in the late 80's. He is a veteran of the Third Crusade (1190's) where he followed Frederick I Barbarossa, and pressed on to Acre after Barbarossa's death, where he lived for a few years after the end of the Third Crusade. He returned home to Waldersbach, located in the Duchy of Swabia, after the deaths of his wife and daughter in Acre, and the death of his older brother back home. There, he served his Duke and his Emperor in his fiefdom of Waldersbach and maintained his liege lords' forests. Currently, Wolfram serves as the Exchequer of the Grey Gargoyles, and as the Archery Marshal for the Shire of the Grey Gargoyles and for the Incipient Barony of Ayreton, in the Chicagoland area. He is also the 2008 Midlands Regional Archery Champion. He has received his AoA and a Dragon's Barb. |
