Society for Creative Anachronism

From Renaissance Faire Wiki

The Society for Creative Anachronism is an international organization of medieval reenactors begun in the 1960s. Also known as SCA, the society for creative anachronism divides the United States (and other parts of the world) into Kingdoms, which are in turn sub-divided into principalities, baronies, shires, etc. (depending upon the number of paid members in a given geographical area). Each kingdom is ruled by a king by right of arms who must defend his or her thrown every six months in a crown tourney. The King may call his loyal knights and fighters to arms in case of war. At the time of King Richard's Faire, the Middle Kingdom was engaged in such a war with the Eastern Kingdom. Their forces, numbering in the hundreds, met every Spring at a field in Pennsylvania for battles that lasted up to three days. The rest of the membership is grouped into guilds and households which are relatively peaceful. In the earliest days of the Renaissance Faires (especially in California), members of the society for creative anachronism made up a large percentage of the faire participants.

In 2005, the BRF will be holding its First Annual SCA Day on Saturday, August 27.
