Greetings! The
Barony of Caer Anterth Mawr is a local chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism
Inc.,
an international, not-for-profit educational organization devoted to
the study and recreation pre-seventeenth century European and Middle
Eastern Cultures. As members, we endeavor to recapture the ambiance of
the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and also to rekindle the lost
ideals of chivalry, courtesy, honor and graciousness. We study medieval
marshal arts, costuming, armor making, leather work, carpentry,
archery, heraldry, metalwork, vintning & brewing, cooking,
dancing,
calligraphy and manuscript illumination, needle crafts/works, music and
much more. Feasts, tournaments, dances, guilds and classes are a few of
the many activities offered and participated in.
The Barony's is the local branch of the SCA based in the Milwaukee,
Waukesha, Ozaukee, Racine, and Kenosha counties of Wisconsin. The
Barony of Caer Anterth Mawr is located in the Kingdom of Northshield.
Our
Motto is Certus sufficiens,
which is latin for "surely there is enough".
The Barony of Caer Anterth Mawr [Welsh for "Greater Tower on the
Zenith"] hosts a variety of events during the year, and local
mini-events called "moots" once a month, which consist of tournaments,
games, classes and feasts. We also hold guild meetings, practices for
archery, rapier, medieval combat, Curia
meetings (aka officer meetings in which the populace are welcome to
attend), and other fun activities throughout the week. Check our Calendar
for dates, times and locations. SCA membership is not required to
participate in any of these activities, just an interest, so please
feel free to come out and join us. Our baronial newsletter, The
Song of the Tower,
is now available online, and provides contact information, list of
scheduled activities, interesting articles and other fun stuff!
If you would like to know about our Barony or wish to get involved,
