Duchess Elena de Neuham
mka Elizabeth Marsh

Member of House Wyndryder
and Unicorn's Hospice

Her great granddaughter Elena Neuham, heir to the Duchy Neuham, spends her considerable fortune on the tourney circuit in France (when war isn't breaking out) and hosting her leech of a cousin Michel LaTour.

Her distant direct relative Duchess Ellen Newhome serves in the court of Elizabeth I. She keeps a fine home in London along with the drafty ancestral estate in North Riding. She is known for throwing lavish parties and balls. She employs a great number of artisans, some say she is second in patronage only to the Queen, including a court Poet, several itinerant musicians, and a (Scottish?) Italian dancing master.

Elizabeth Marsh is the Assistant Professor of Multimedia in the Department of Advertising and Public Relations at Florida International University. Her students have seen these pictures and so far are not frightened.

A picture goes here. But the only one I saw was one that I think would cause Roz to kill me if I used it. Sooooo .....

I need your Herbert pix!

In general Herbert is a Celt. More particularly a Frank and most specificly a late 8th century Carolingian hailing from the ancient Bishopric of Worms.

After moderate successs in the first half of his life he fell into tragedy. For a time he dwelled among his former great enemies to the north. In time he found these Pagans not to be the great bogeymen he had expected. That influence has lead him to adopt some of their Norse ways, in attire and custom.

He traveled with them to far westernlands, and then south upon his own untill he was befriended by members of great houses in this Kingdom. A puzzlement to him till this very day?

Carla Baker

Adiva is the child of an Eurpoean mother and an Arab father(Berber tribe) in the late 11th century. They met while her father was selling horses in Europe. Adiva herself is a horse dealer.

Carla joined Trimaris and the SCA in 1985 just after Pennsic. Her first event was the Tarpon Springs – Hurricane Elena (webmistress' note - no relation) evacuation when we became a kingdom.  She spent the event after evacuation first at (now) Duke Solomon's apartment and then at another house where in Trimaris tradition storm weathering turned into a great time.

She knows a lot of our "old timers" and recieved reknown, and well as her watchful flame for her numerous stints at gate guard.

Defender of Southkeep

Ulfric is the nephew of a Jarl from what is today Norway. His father was a successful, but aged merchant. As the younger of one brother and two sisters Ulfric dreamed of leaving his cold, misty lands to find adventure and exotic wares by trade or by axe. At the age of 14, he got his wish and began a 4 year series of raids that made him rich and…ultimately … fat.

While raiding on the north end of the Iberian peninsula, his ship ran into a storm and was shipwrecked. For weeks he traveled his new lands, learning their speech and mannerisms. In time, he came to a great city the likes of which he had never seen before. The name of this city was Leon. There he met a minor noble from the city of Leon. Ulfric, having been separated from his band and presumably left for dead traveled with his new noble friend slowly learning of his tragic fate. He had fallen in love with a noble woman that had ended up using him as a political pawn. After several years of love and betrayal, Leonardo, as he was known, became a solitary unarmored mercenary fighter. Being kindred spirits, both Ulfric and Leonardo fought and reveled together for many months, but Ulfric noticed that his friend was changing. On a cool moonlight night in spring, Leonardo finally succumbed to a broken heart. Ulfric buried his friend in the manner of the Christians.

In time, Ulfric tried to return to the north, but was blown off course and he landed in the kingdom called Trimaris. After much time, he accepted his fate as the will of Odin
and became a loyal member of the Kingdom, settling in the Shire of Southkeep. As war is ever in the heart of a true Viking, he joined in two great Gulf Wars and many other minor skirmishes in defense of his kingdom. One year as a member of the Triskele Legion, the fighting arm of the Kingdom itself. Ulfric was even once called to defend the harvest of Southkeep and won the day against a valiant and courageous warrior from a neighboring shire thus earning the title of Defender of Southkeep. Today, Ulfric takes pride in the knowledge that as a veteran of the legendary Triskele Legion, he may be called upon in the future to strap on armor and shield and wield his mighty sword once again!
