Welcome to the Barony of Calafia, in the Kingdom of Caid; a branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA).

The Baron and Baroness of Calafia Their Excellencies Oliver and Kate Dogberry

Witam, Calafia!

We have heirs! After reading through the missives from the Populous and consulting with both Their Royal Majesties & Their Royal Highnesses’, we have chosen Master Guy Rand Gallandon & Mistress Muirenn ingen Donndubáin as our successors and will invest them as Reeve & Reevess during Court at Potrero War. They will join us at events, and the Vote of Confidence for them will occur in the September/October timeframe. More information on that will be announced in the coming months. Both Kate & I wish to thank everyone for all of your thoughts and commentary on the three couples. It both helped us and made our jobs much harder. We would also like to thank all three couples for the courage and dedication to our Society that it takes to step forward and commit themselves to a position such as this.

Due to other obligations, June will be a less attended month for us. We will follow up war with a bittersweet Coronation where we will bid farewell to Their Royal Majesties Mansur & Eilidh and bear witness as They pass governance of our Kingdom to Duke Sven Örfhendur & Countess Cassandra Zoë Paganel. We will miss Them, but know that They can rest knowing the Kingdom will continue to be ruled fairly and wisely. We will also be attending our Cousins of Gyldenholt for their anniversary, and we can only hope that it will contain some small amount of theater & amusement for Court. Hopefully at THEIR expense and not ours.

Until we met again within the Dream, we remain Yours in Service.

Don Oliver i Pani Kate Dogberry
Baron & Baroness of Calafia

The SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) is a not-for-profit, educational, and historical organization dedicated to reliving and recreating the Middle Ages, as they should have been, from approximately the latter Roman era to 1650 A.D. We seek to learn about the beauty and chivalry of our past and to share with others the wonders of medieval Europe. We re-create the fun parts, like the feasts, costumes & sword fighting...
...but leave out the parts like plagues, lice and beheadings!

The society is divided into kingdoms and the kingdoms are subdivided into baronies based on geographic location.
Calafia is one of the founding baronies in Kingdom of Caid located in Southern California
and comprises San Diego and Imperial counties.
