About Me

I am known as Baroness Elena verch Rhys in the Society for Creative Anachronism. I am the Baroness of the Barony of Winter’s Gate, Principality of Oertha, with my Husband, Baron Hans Schaffer and our daughter. I am apprenticed to Mistress Annora de Montfort of Shadowood and proteged to Mistress Margery Garret. I enjoy creating and researching clothing and accessories from Viking age Scandinavia and Eastern Europe as well as 14th-15th century’s Europe with an emphasis in ruffled and structured veils. I’ve also enjoy creating 16th century German clothing, illumination, soap making, and autocrating events.

I was introduced to the Society in 2010 and enjoy the family I have found here. I look forward to learning and expanding my knowledge base of medieval lifestyle and crafts.
