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.
If you are new here, welcome!
We are happy to learn more about you, and your areas of interest in the SCA! The information in the form below will help us to find activities you'll like, and help us introduce you to other SCA members who live near you.
Whether you are a person new to the SCA who has never attended an event, or an old hat who has relocated to the lands of our fair barony, or even someone who has been battling the dragons of Mundania but has finally been able to return home, we welcome you!
Perhaps you would like to contact and attend a newcomer gathering or other monthly meetings in which you are interested. It often helps to get to know a few people. Our Chatelaine Lord Jose Taberna de Torquemada will help you gain a foothold with the things that you are interested in.
We have a new member’s page called the Populace Page!
The Populace page will contain all the latest information you may need as a member of al-Barran. Stop by periodically to see what is happening in the barony. Or better yet, register with the site to get regular email announcements from the Seneschal, the Barron and other official announcements.
