THE MOUNTAIN MAYHEM
Journal of the Barony of Hidden Mountain


Volume XXXIII Issue 12

Being February of the Year LI,



A.S. 2017 in the Reckoning of Years




CoverA university class, Bologna (1350s). medieval university is a corporation organized during the High Middle Ages for the purposes of higher learning.

The first Western European institutions generally considered to be universities were established in the Kingdom of Italy, then part of the Holy Roman Empire , the Kingdom of England, the Kingdom of France, the Kingdom of Spain, and the Kingdom of Portugal between the 11th and 14th centuries for the study of the Arts and the higher disciplines of Theology, Law, and Medicine.[1] These universities evolved from much older Christian cathedral schools and monastic schools, and it is difficult to define the exact date at which they became true universities, although the lists of studia generalia for higher education in Europe held by the Vatican are a useful guide.

OYEZ! OYEZ! The Barony has GREAT need of donated items suitable for Largess baskets for the upcoming  Event  - Hidden Mountain Baronial Birthday March 25-27, 2017

What is Largesse?

The word largesse, has been part of the English language since at least the 13th century. It derives via Anglo-French from the Latin word largus, meaning "abundant" or "generous." "Largus" is also the source of our word large. As far back as the 14th century, we used the word largeness as a synonym of "largesse" ("liberal giving"). (Dictionary.com) In fact, that may have been the first sense of "largeness," which has since come to refer to physical magnitude and bulk more often than to magnanimity. The giving of largesse is an extension of courtesy and abundance; it is a change to give back to the whole of the population with gratitude for the pleasures of the Society.

In the history of the SCA, largesse are donated items appropriate for use in the Society. It is customary to give and receiving largesse to visiting Royals,  who then in return will award to members of the populace for acts of service as a thank you to visitors, hosts, and volunteers.  It is a way to offer hospitality and generosity.

Craftspeople, artisans, merchants - any and all interested, are asked to donate items. Largesse items hold multi purposes, gifting to other individuals for deeds and hospitality shown, assisting the Royals and Peers with less financial burden by using donations of largesse, and are a great opportunity to have to have the items seem Kingdom wide.


Largesse items are generally period in nature and handmade. Items should be well packaged for safety of travel and included a written description of the item and the giver should be included.

Suggestions for largesse​:



  • Bags and pouches made from natural fibers

  • Belt buckles, cloak pins, small brooches

  • Card weaving kits (tablets and instructions)

  • Duct tape, strapping tape, rivets

  • Fabric – natural fibers

  • Handcrafted trim

  • Handmade soaps or bath salts (clearly labeled as to content and low scent please)

  • Hats, veils, or hoods

  • Note cards

  • Jewelry, semi-precious stones or lampwork beads,

  • Necklaces (hand strung), rings, earrings

  • Lucet kits

  • Period games

  • Metal work (small hand forged items), knives

  • Napkins or table linens made from natural fibers

  • Pieces of armor, rattan

  • Pottery items, goblets, cups

  • Small sewing kits

  • Skeins of hand spun wool, silk, or linen

  • Small wood or metal boxes

  • Small journals or books

  • Teas, hot cocoa, etc (store bought)

  • Wooden, bone, or antler items

  • Wooden combs

  • Wooden toys

With all that being said please remember that largesse is a great way to show your crafting skills and supports the hospitality of the Society and that many largesse items are needed!

Please contact Largesse Coordinators  -  Lady Katherine of the Doves (mka as Karen Parker) or Lady Clare inghean Ruaidhri (mka Scarlett Jones) privately or any upcoming event for any questions or donations.

Baroness Asta
From the Desk of the Baronial Seneschal TOC

Greetings, Barony of Hidden Mountain.

Welcome to the New Year in Hidden Mountain! By the time you see this, the polling period should be done, and it is all up to Their Majesties to determine the next Baron and Baroness of Hidden Mountain.
We are still looking for someone to fill the Baronial Chatelaine Office and the Exchequers Office. If you wish to hold either of these offices, please contact the current holders, and submit your letters of interest in the positions to me before the next Baronial Commons; Robert Himmelsbach, 199 Cabrill Dr, Charleston SC 29414, rob.martin.bishop@comcast.net. Again, only current, valid membership holders need apply. The Exchequers Office is vital to the Barony, and must be filled. I would greatly prefer that the Chatelaine’s Office also be filled as soon as possible.
We are also seeking an individual, household, or group who wish to autocrat the Barony’s next big event, The

Silver Chalice Tourney. Same rules apply, please contact the Seneschal (me) as above if you are interested in taking on this challenge!


Thank you all, and let’s work to make our Barony bigger, stronger and really, really fun.


Master Geoffrey d’Ayr Montlban

Hidden Mountain Seneschal
FROM THE CHRONICLER’S QUILL TOC
Greetings my fellow Mountaineers!
I want to first apologize for the scanty edition. I had many things going on in January that kept me from my quill and desk. Things should be back to normal for me in February for an exciting March edition.
Please send me your submissions and things you would like to see in the pages of our little history catcher.

Thank you again Sho, for never letting me down and sending me a new tanka. Thank you to one more Baronial officer who was willing to share with us, Lady Caisséne. I have an interesting Safety Herald planned for March so keep watch. I wanted to publish it this month, but as I said, things got in the way. I go now to fill up my inkwell and prepare for next month.


Yours in service,

THLady Jorunn nic Lochlainn

Is conveyed with a smile

And louder than words


Event Report: Manannan mac Lir – A.S. LI

By Ld Wm Costello
One aspect of the Tournament of Manannan mac Lir which helps make each year different is the violability of the weather. Last year Altantia was frozen and snowed over with Manannan being the only event not cancelled. Attendance was light with the event occurring entirely in and around the Great Hall. There was also very little martial activity, due to the low turnout. That gave it a very intimate, relaxed feel.
This year the weather was quite a bit warmer, although still cool. It was also a bit breezy, making it just about perfect weather to fight in. With a few layers or a cloak, it was comfortable to stand outside to watch and chat. That moved the action and the bulk of the attending gentles from the Great Hall to the Tourney Field.
Personally, the event was a very busy one. Completing a number of tasks I planned to do saw me running back and forth between the Hall and the Field. Then I was allowed the honor of retaining for Her Excellency. I also was allowed to Herald the Baronial Court, my first time doing this in 30 years.
Evening Court was a fun affair, fraught with great emotion and the knowledge that Her Excellency’s time as Baroness is soon coming to an end.
Court began with Baroness Asta processing in. The first order of business was to call Rhianna, Pippin’s Daughter into court and induct her as the first member of the Order of the Vert Mountain, created to recognize the Children of the Mountain and continue the recognition from the Award of the Piedmont. Her scroll was the first ever presented in a court by her mother, Lady Catairiona.
Mistress Aodh Adendra, as the event autocrat, followed and presented the winners of the day’s competitions with their prizes. Earl Robert de Rath was victorious in the Armored Tournament. In accepting the Broach he praised the field of combatants, especially Lord Hrothgar, and presented the Broach to him to hold until the next Manannan. The Great Weapon Tournament was also won by Earl Robert. Mistress Etain of Sutherland was the victor and broach holder for the Rapier Tournament. The A&S competition was won by Lady Isabella, Daughter of Arabella.
Next called into court was Megan, Pippin’s Daughter, who was the second inducted into the Order of the Vert Mountain. Her scroll was the first created by her father, Pippin the Red.
The Honorable Lady Bridget O’Shay was then presented, amongst some tears and with great thanks her third Baroness’ Award of Courtesy.
Lady Qulan Chaghan became a member of the Order of the Azure Mountain for her costuming work and enthusiastic promoting of the arts.
In appreciation for her efforts and works, m’lady Candace Rose was added to the rolls of the Order of the Sable Mountain.

The final item of the court was the presentation of the Baroness’ Award of Courtesy to Lady Katherine of the Doves.


Thus closed the penultimate court of Asta knarrarbringa, Baroness, Hidden Mountain.
Following court was a very fine feast prepared and presented by the chefs and hardworking crew of the Mountain’s own Three Barons.
Outside of worries about visits from the local wasp population, the day went smooth and was as much fun as can be legally had.


Interview with a Baronial Officer TOC

Meet Caisséne Ingen Fháeláin
What is your Baronial Officer Position and why did you volunteer to do it?

I am your Baronial MOL or Minister of the Lists. I’ve always loved to watch the fighting. I think its

really amazing! I wanted the serve in some fashion, but everything always took me away from

the fighting. Once I learned what an MOL was, it was a natural choice. As for why I am an

officer, my Baroness asked me to!!

What is your SCA Name? Caisséne Ingen Fháeláin

Do you have any titles? Titles, beside “Lady” no. I do have the “Opal” service award, but does not change my title.

How did you pick your name? I’ve always been interested in Irish history, all my great-grandparents on my mother’s side are from there. So when looking at what I wanted my name to be, it was obvious pick medieval Irish history. I read up on Irish history, and picked the 12th century. I studied how they were

“constructed”. In the 12th century a woman was always her father’s daughter; that is what ingen

means, daughter of. Then looked for names. I liked Caissene, in medieval history in the area of

the country most my ancestors are from, there was a princess named Caissene related to King

Brian Boru. Then to honor my father, I found an “F” name. His name was Frank but there wasn’t

anything even close to that. To research the actual names, I used links available on the

SCA.org website. Since becoming involved however, I have found I like Viking/Norse dress. The Norse went

viking (the proper way to say it since Viking is really a verb) in Ireland around 825 A.D. and

eventually settled Dublin, the first real city in Ireland. So my persona’s time period and history is

changing. I an researching the Hiberno-Norse Culture in Ireland to find out more about my “new”

persona. My name will stay the same though. Guess I’m a time traveler!! :)

How many years have you been in the SCA? Six and a half

Are you associated with any household or Peer? Yes. White Crescent. We are a two peer household, Knight Afshin Darius and Mistress Meadhbh the Handy.

What are your favorite things to do in the SCA? While I love everything, I guess my most favorite thing is the people! The variety of personalities that make up the SCA is amazing! I don’t think you’d find such an assortment of people in any organization.

How many Kingdoms have you lived in? Just Atlantia.

What is your real world name? Kathy Fletcher

What is your occupation? Retail Sales. Mens Nautica Specialist for Belk

What is something you don’t mind sharing that people do not know about you? I’ve always been a pack-rat and the SCA has me well on my way to becoming a Hoarder!

Tournament of Ymir and Baronial Investiture


February 24- 26, 2017
Barony of Windmasters' Hill

Born of the fire of Muspelheim and the ice of Niflheim …


Born in the abyss of Ginnungagap …
Suckled by the cow Auðhumla …

From Ymir’s flesh the earth was created …


From his sweat and blood the seas were created …
From his bone the mountains were created …
From his hair the trees were created …
From his skull the skies were created …
From his brains the cloud were created…
And from his eyebrows the Gods made Midgard, home of the sons of men!

Come pay honors to Ymir, the frost giant from who the world was created!



Join us as we thank Baron Callixtus and Baroness Adriana for their gracious service and strong leadership and welcome our new Baron and/or Baroness.

Meeting notes – by Summer Musmesci

9 members in attendance
New award site - http://award.atlantia.sca.org 

- tied in with Atlantian enterprise Login, the old site will not go away, but is not compatible with the newer sites, so no new info will be able to be posted to the old site.


We will have to post our Financial policies as well as our bylaws on the Canton website.   Sala will be taking care of that, withKaren
Amendment to the bylaws - the MOAS will be able to change time, date and place of A&S meetings.  Vote will be held in the future, when all paperwork is in front of everyone to be gone over.
Karen and Candace (Lady Catherine and Esme) will be soon posting for volunteers for all aspects of set up and take down during HMBB.  It would be awesome to have a full contingent of Moorhaven presence as a workforce.
Next meeting - February 7, 2017 a 7pm at Lady Katherine's (Karen's).   Period embroidery make and take.
