The SCA is an international organization dedicated to researching and re-creating the arts and skills of pre-17th-century Europe. Our "Known World" consists of 19 kingdoms, with over 30,000 members residing in countries around the world. Members, dressed in clothing of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, attend events which feature tournaments, royal courts, feasts, dancing, various classes & workshops, and more.

Gyldenholt, founded by Duke Armand and Duchess Diana de Savigny in 1979, is one of twelve baronies currently in existence within the Kingdom of Caid in the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). Our current Baron and Baroness are Their Excellencies Ursul Vladislavl' Pravnuk and Colette de Montpellier.

The Barony is located in the mundane lands of Orange County, California with the Barony of Angels to the north, Lyondemere to the west, Dreiburgen to the northeast, Califia to the southeast, and the Pacific Ocean to the southwest. View a map of the kingdom here.

We are pleased to say that the Barony is quite active, both on a Baronial and Kingdom level. We have many activities in various areas of Medieval and Renaissance studies. If you are new to the SCA and/or you would like more information about Gyldenholt and the SCA in general, please visit the Newcomers Page.

January, 2012

Greetings from Their Excellencies,

It appears that I am much better at reminding Her Excellency to write an article than I am of reminding myself. So first let me apologize for making everything late. I would love to have some grand reason, alas none exists. But on a lighter note it was great to see all of you at Yule and for those that could not make it you missed a wonderful evening. Good food and good friends is always a combination that is near impossible to beat.

As for Gyldenholt we are quickly coming up on some big days. In just about 1 month we will be investing Reeves Master Giles and Giuseppe at Unbelted tourney. However as some of you may know Master Giles is having some major back issues that are going to require surgery. His procedure is schedules for Jan 6, so please keep him in your thoughts. Also depending on his recovery time it is quite possible that their investing could be delayed until friendship.

However even before then we have 12th night on Jan 7th and Queen’s champion on Jan 14th may the weather be more kind this time. And yup the next weekend is the 21st and Unbelted so I hope that everyone has a great holiday season, may it be peaceful and relaxing. And we

hope to see many of you next year, January looks to be busy one.

In Service,
Baron Ursul & Baroness Colette
