Foundational
Beginnings
of the
Shire of Heatherwyne
Greetings unto thee.
Thus far we have two highly controversial versions of the
origins of Heatherwyne. Do you know of another than these, or care to
elaborate upon them with first-hand knowledge??? Then kindly notify the Historiographer

To Keradwc and anybody else who's interested: Gorgonoth
(canton of Angels), founded by Waldt and Alison von Markheim became the
Barony of Dreibergen with Alison and Waldt as first Baroness and Baron.
They called it Dreibergen because of the three big mountains within the
Barony's borders : Mount San Gregorio, Mount San Jacinto, and (!) Mount
Baldy (!). Now, all of you present and former caidans (of which I am one
too!) are probably thinking: but Mount Baldy's in Heatherwine!?!
Well, Mount Baldy is in Heatherwine, but Heatherwine wasn't
around when Dreibergen was founded. The area that makes up Heatherwine
today was originally part of Dreibergen. That territory was ceded when
Heatherwine became a shire.
Now when Alsion told me the story of the founding of
Dreibergen (because I foolishly wanted to know where the name came
from...), after she told me about giving Mount Baldy away to Heatherwine, I
asked her why they didn't change the name to "Zweibergen" (I even
kept a straight face when I did this, which was remarkable under the
circumstances). And the look I got out of Alison can only be imagined if
you know Alison (if looks could wither, I'd be a prune by now...). ::Ya
sure, it was fun!::
The Completely Innocent Tux
(really! no kidding! would I ever pull anyone's leg?!?
Me?!?)

Baron Fredrick and Mistress Lyndia joined the SCA in AS X in
the Barony of the Angles (Los Angeles) in the Principality of CAID
(Southern California) in the Kingdom of the West.
During their reign, as Baron and Baroness of the Angles, they
helped in the drive to make CAID a Kingdom and Co-Autocrated the first
CAIDian Coronation. Just before the official declaration of CAID as a
kingdom, His Majesty Paul Rex awarded them with the titles of Court Baron
and Court Baroness.
The Baron and Baroness were both instrumental in their
support of the founding of Heatherwine, a Shire from out of the lands of
the Barony. They also supported the foundation of the three Baronies,
Altavia, Gyldenholt, and Lyondemere from the vast lands of the Angles.
Together, in AS XXVI, they moved to the Shire of RavenShore
(back to the Kingdom of the West) where the two of them have continued to
operate the WoodLyn Library and upon occasion teach, she costuming skills,
and he various topics.
