College of Kingeslake

Today marks our official 15th birthday! 🎂

Many thanks to everyone who has been part of the College of Kingeslake family, as members and supporters from other groups. May Herbert's flame warm your hearts and the red phoenix banner fly again soon!!

Céad míle buíochais to our first Baron and Baroness, Etienne Fevre and Melisende FitzWalter, for all their hard work and continued dedication to the people of Eplaheimr and the SCA as a whole. Their stepping down took place this past weekend at Tíonol Barúnach Eplaheimr in the heart of The Burren, Co. Clare.

Sadly His Excellency could not attend due to family bereavement. Our deepest sympathies to Master Etienne, Master Cernac, and all their family at this sorrowful time.

Happy Birthday to us! 🎊🥳🎂🎈🎉🎁

The College of Kingeslake was officially recognized as a branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism in the Kingdom of Drachenwald on this day back in 2009. It's been a great 14 years and we hope to see many of you again soon!

This banner was made for Eplaheimr's Baronial investiture by our dear friend Lady Marina. I hope to see Herbert fly proudly at a future Kingeslake gathering with friends old and new, where we can share tales of our deeds and rise again like our proud phoenix to new heights.
