Awards

The Kingdom has requested that we compile a list of all awards distributed by the Barony. Sadly, many of the Baronial records have been lost. We need your help to reconstruct the list.

If you have received a Barony award and are not listed below please email the Barony Herald. We need your full SCA name, the name of the award, the date awarded, and the Baron and Baroness who gave the award. Please include as much information as you remember.

This list is incomplete. It is a work in progress reconstructed from memory and likely to contain errors, so please be patient while we rebuild the list. If you have any information to help complete the list, please contact the Herald:
