Meet the Faculty

Alain is a simply country knight who has been in a tournament or two and would like to give you some guidelines to make the scary interacting-with-other-people part of the SCA a little easier.

Lady Batista has been in the SCA for about 12 years. She loves making headwear and Italian outfits for her persona - a mid to high class Florentine lady, between 1475 to 1540. She also enjoys sharing her knowledge and skills with others.

Bethony resides in the Barony of Krae Glas, is a Laurel with a passion for all things confectionery. From small treats through to elaborate 'trionfi di zucchero', Bethony loves sugar in all its forms.

Constanzia is a rogue Duchess rampaging through St Florian with ridiculous headwear. 

Duke Gabriel is well known across Lochac as a purveyor of fine (and only lightly cursed) armour. He enjoys spontaneous swims in Forest Lake with his doggos, and has a penchant for collecting shoes and helmets.

Master Henry is history nut who joined the SCA in the early '90s. He dabbled in several martial disciplines, but found his niche as a fencer, it has been his great love within the SCA ever since. He is a particular fan of examining period treatises and putting them into action, and of teaching and sharing his knowledge.

Iglesia enjoys costuming, royal service, period singing and a host of other things. She can regularly be found sewing eyelets (a holes) for people who hate them. She loves to hear about what you are working on 

Kamara has been in the SCA since 2014 and is particularly interested in all things Safavid Persian.
He can often be found teaching, running events, and filling various officer roles in the Barony and around the Kingdom.

Historical recreationism has been a part of Nicola's life nearly 30 years and she's been with St Florian de la Rivière for over a decade. Key areas of interest include historical clothing (including headwear and accessories), embroidery, spinning , weaving, fencing, music, storytelling, poetry, lampworking, table etiquette and cooking. 

When Lady Yaroslava isn't shooting her bow in target or combat archery, she can be found painting, embroidering, or enthusiastically bouncing around telling everyone about ancient and medieval astronomy!
