Baron & Baroness
Sir Rowland de Grey of Lincolnshire & Mistress Ymanya Murray
Welcome to the Barony of al-Barran
The Barony of al-Barran is a chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc (SCA)
. The SCA is a non-profit
organization devoted to researching and recreating the Middle Ages in the present. Some members concentrate on the
study of the European Middle Ages and Renaissance eras, with many members working to recreate the arts and skills of
these eras. Other members concentrate on the study of Middle East and Asian Cultures, with many members working to
recreate the arts and skills of their chosen areas and also explore the interaction between Europe and Asia during
the periods under study.
In the "Known World of the Current Middle Ages" al-Barran is located within the Kingdom of the Outlands
. The Barony
was originally established by the Kingdom of Atenveldt on November 11, 1975. Our first baron was Sir Raymond the Quiet.
In the modern world al-Barran is centered around Albuquerque, New Mexico and extends north to Algodones, east to
Moriarty, west to Grants, and south to Belen.
Acknowledge Deeds, Actions & Skills
One of the best things about the SCA is the opportunity it presents to learn
about different medieval arts & sciences, about fighting, archery, and deeds of
service. In the SCA you will find a lot of people who have a greater or lesser
degree of skill and/or knowledge about these activities. You will also discover
that some people are more involved in making things "happen"; that is, they spend
time and energy working to make the Society a more fun and functional place.
Like other organizations we strive to acknowledge these efforts. If you
see something that is meritorious. recommend them for an award.
Recommend someone for an award!
