== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
(Meesteres) Mergriet van Wijenhorst <br />
<br />
*Played in the Barony of [[Ruantallan]] from the last half of the 1990's to 2001?<br />
*The shire of [[Lyndhaven]] (in the area now known as [[Avonmore]]) from about 2002 to 2009 (with a short stint in An Tir)<br />
*The Barony of Septentria (Ealdormere) from 2009-2010<br />
*The Shire of Bordergate (An Tir/Avacal) from 2010 to 2013<br />
*[[Ruantallan]], canton of Distant Shores and [[Seashire]], Fall of 2013 to Winter of 2015<br />
*Shire of Lyndhaven, 2015-2020<br />
*Moved to Ruantallan in 2020, what a crazy year to be moving! <br />
<br />
In the SCA I basically like to research stuff, experiment with edible stuff, make yummy stuff and make pretty stuff<br />
I also enjoy learning more about my persona and having a little fun with my in-game appearance and slowly improving my shop and kit. <br />
Am presently an active scribe, an occasional webminister and a willing cook... sometimes all of these collide! <br />
<br />
*was a Student of Mistress Elena Rueda viuda de Lochcarron (mid. 2000's) <br />
*was apprenticed to Mistress [[Elizabeth Darnley]] at Herne the Hunter, A.S.48<br />
<br />
I only ever entered in 4 A&S competitions in the SCA, but have judged in more. Generally I enjoy display and practical application more but I enjoy entering now and then as a way to support the A&S community (more entries make for more interesting competitions) with the exception of Northern Lights which I did for the experience and was not disappointed as it was a lot of fun! <br />
*Entered at Ruantallan's first novice A&S with illumination, did not win but it was fun!<br />
*1st in food category at Northern Lights so long ago I do not remember<br />
*Shire of Bordergate A&S Champion 2011? (entered food, embroidery, painted glass, playing card project...)<br />
*([[Tir Mara]]) Princess's Champion for Arts and Sciences 2014 (food)<br />
*Member of the order of the Laurel (2015) for what I can tell, my persona and food research which is so cool, I love those things :)<br />
<br />
== Apprentices and Students ==<br />
<br />
On February of 2017, I took my first apprentice, [[Symona de Verones]] at Yagaan's Banquet!<br />
<br />
and, 8 months-ish later, in October, 2017, at the Lyndhaven Championships event, I took on [[Inga Thorgansdottir]] as my second apprentice!<br />
<br />
Less formerly, I also have [[Yagaan Chinua]] learning and practicing various arts under my tutelage<br />
<br />
== Persona ==<br />
Mergriet is a native of Brabant who moved to Antwerp as a child. Her father was a skilled migrant worker who saw Antwerp as a place that would hold better fortunes. Mergriet (AKA Griet) has lived there ever since, though as tensions rise in the city, her husband is now looking at taking them either further north or over to England. <br />
<br />
Her present place of residence is at the [https://sites.google.com/site/eikenzwijn/ Eik en Zwijn]<br />
<br />
== Preferences ==<br />
It's become challenging for many of us to understand what people like when we write them in for awards, wish to make something for them or something as simple as address them. Because of this, I am participating here, if anything, as an example for other entries... and hey, and if my entry makes it easier for you, or someone else, this is good :) <br />
<br />
Title: "Meesteres" (kinda sounds like "Maay-stress") However, I am very accustomed to mingling with people from many cultures, also, this may be a 'title' others are uncomfortable with so more than willing to explore further. When it comes to being addressed, I am quite flexible! **Also noted, should a better title be decided upon, I am very flexible <br />
<br />
Name: Some call me by my long name but most call me by my pet name "Griet", I respond to both and don't worry much about how you pronounce it... again, many cultures. <br />
<br />
Scrolls: While I try to make what I might find others would enjoy, my personal favourite are document style scrolls, especially worded like a document. <br />
<br />
Favourites: I love things with a level of research behind them, particularly useful things... I love fleams, black piggies and lean towards decorative touches in either black or red, though, for clothing, I prefer any colour, fabric or style, that would have been worn in my time period. <br />
<br />
In case of court: Updating this one a bit. Again, I enjoy the unusual, fun, silly or whatever. I also enjoy seriously authentic. Really, I am rather all over the place and pretty relaxed these days. <br />
<br />
My personal view on awards: (Thought I might wish to add this in here, cause it can matter) Reasons, and intent, matter to me, this includes the intent of the actual awards, from why a person is written in (who doesn't like to know why they are receiving an award?) to the intent of the award itself. This said, I already have maunche, laurel, and silver crescent, and would appreciate our limited time in court, and other resources, not be put into silver awards for myself, not that I would not graciously accept it if given. This is mostly to aid any who might see fit to write me in for something, they are lovely awards, just that I personally would love to see someone who is doing well in those areas (but maybe not reaching the level of maunche, crescent, combatant etc. yet) get written in instead, and foremost, as it's an opportunity to formally recognize their work and efforts that they might not otherwise get. <br />
<br />
== Offices & Positions ==<br />
In the past I had full term positions of Webminister and Chronicler for Lyndhaven and was the Minister of Children for the Northern Shores region (now Tir Mara). In 2014 I stepped in as Webminister for the Barony of Ruantallan up until Jan. of 2015 when we moved to the Shire of Lyndhaven. EK Scribe, long supporter of the Ruantallan scriptorium, stepped in to help as Tir Mara scribal deputy for a period of time until being needed as a shire chatelaine and filling in as a webminister at large (working on, and maintaining, the Tir Mara website). Shortly after this I took on a full role of serving as the Tir Mara Webminister deputy and as our shire's Senschal (until 2018) while continuing on with occasional scribal work.<br />
<br />
I've been taking a bit of a break since our move, and all the shutdowns that happened during that time, to recollect myself and partake in a little self care.<br />
<br />
== Event Staff ==<br />
<br />
While I tended to serve as a co-autocrat rather than being the main person in charge, I have run many dayboards and kitchens dating back to my early years in Lyndhaven. I very much love getting the opportunity to run a kitchen or even be permitted to come play in someone else's. <br />
<br />
First event I cooked for, on returning to the East Kingdom (fall of 2013), was in Feb. 2014 "Dinner at Finchcocks Court", this was a test run for creating high persona events in the area. For me it was an opportunity to arrange a meal as would have been known to an English person of higher standing in the 1590's, well, at least to best of our knowledge. A few things went awry, but we worked out a lot of quirks, great experience over all! Hope to see more of these pop up in the future!<br />
<br />
After doing a few feasts here and there, I finally got to participate in yet another high persona feast, Yagaan's Banquet (Feb. 2017), this time it was cooking Mongolian food!<br />
<br />
More feasts were made for events both big and small since this, but I hardly kept track. Some had severe challenges, like food not surviving an extra long trip due to an emergency, or 80% of my cooktops going on the fritz (and the meal was planned around the cooktops because the ovens were unreliable lol), yet people still got fed, amazingly, and so many lessons learned. These were an adventure, that's for sure. <br />
<br />
Thing is, I have taken on many roles at events, like many people, but just didn't keep track of the details, from tokens, to food, to organizing activities, to teaching, reservations, webpages and so on. It was fun. <br />
<br />
== Merchanting ==<br />
<br />
In 2007, myself and Tali'a formed "The Amber River Sweet Shop" and merchanted together at various events, eventually leaving Tali'a to take over the shop with husband as I traveled across the country. Since then, my husband and I have occasionally opened up the "The Oak and Boar" (just look for the piggies and cold drinks!).<br />
<br />
Dabbled a bit with merchanting of general goods and sold a few pewter items that would have been made in pewter, or lead, and commonly owned. This was fun, but it was also an excuse to dabble with various ways to create affordable moulds for low melt casting. Some some and have some stock still, so who knows. Selling it does help fund that project, or, at the very least, helps fund my attendance at events. <br />
<br />
== Scribal Stuff ==<br />
<br />
'''If you have one of my scrolls''' : <br />
* I very much hope you enjoy it! <br />
* If it becomes damaged, or destroyed, I would be happy to replace it, or have someone else replace it for you, be it new work or a copy. <br />
<br />
This is something I've dabbled with for a while, at least since the 90's. Presently I do it because I can and it's fun and so love having these go out to so many people. Now and then, I even remember to take a photo... not as often as I should though... but, here are a few :) <br />
*Scrolls from 2010 and up: *[https://www.flickr.com/photos/landverhuizer/albums/72157643683602354/ "Newer Scribal Work" (flickr)]<br />
*Everyone has to start somewhere, these are some of my older scrolls starting in the 90's: *[https://www.flickr.com/photos/landverhuizer/albums/72157625637630212/ "Old Stuff" (flickr)]<br />
<br />
== Projects & Publications ==<br />
<br />
Too many to remember them all, though I do presently update various webpages/blogs. Some more SCA related ones are these:<br />
<br />
**at present, my historic food site is down... there are a number of pages of "oldfoodways.ino" on site as like waybackmachine. At some point, I do plan on resurrecting it<br />

<br />
== Description ==<br />
The Crown Principality of Tir Mara comprises all of the Canadian lands within the borders of the Kingdom of the East. This area is vast, making up around four fifths of the land of the kingdom. As of this writing in AS 48, this territory is still a Crown Principality, with the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of the East being also the Prince and Princess of Tir Mara, until They have found Their heirs.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Before the Crown Principality, we had a Northern Region that was made up both American and Canadian land, however it was later recognized, by many, that the Canadian groups (made up of Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador) had their own separate needs that were better dealt with by having separate Canadian deputies. Because of this, in 1999, the formation of a new District was discussed and before the end of the year of 2000, the Northern Shores was now a District of the Northern Region.<br />
<br />
By April of 2001, it was announced that the Northern Shores would now be recognized as a region within the East Kingdom. The big news with this is that the new region will get to share in the rotation of Spring Crown Tournaments. Before this point, they were considered part of the Northern Region rotation. <br /><br />
Spring Crown Tournament, which is held on the first Saturday in May and, if necessary, the last Saturday in April rotated through the Northern Shores Region every two years with the first one being held in this new rotation was in the then, Shire of L'ile du Dragon Dormant in May of 2002. From here, just as the event is rotated through the East Kingdom, it was also rotated through the Region as it is today through the Crown Principality allowing groups to put in bids is they are capable of holding it, or if not, passing it on to another group giving preference to one that has not held it (or held it recently). <br /><br />
Since the time of being a District, the group had already begun having Northern Shores tournaments of Arms which then expanded into Regional competitions for A&S, Archery and Rapier which also were organized in a rotation between the groups. <br /><br />
Other earlier milestones (some official, some not so much) included the creation of the Boreal Army and a badge which much of Tir Mara rallied behind, the Northern Shores Warcamp in Lyndhaven and eventually the Aurora Borealis Newsletter, Nothern Shores website with a full list of deputy officers, the Northern Shores Royal Travel Fund and a push further for a Principality! Most of this time being under Aetheric Lindenerende who was the Deputy Kingdom seneschal for the Northern Shores District and then late the Northern Shores Region Seneschal through the first months of the new Crown Principality of Tir Mara, who announced on February 2nd of 2009, that on the previous Saturday, at the "Market Day at Birka" event, "Their Royal Majesties Darius and Alethea accepted the majority will as expressed in the recent status polling and created the new Crown Principality of the Northern Shores. It was noted that it is created with the intent of working towards full principality status." <br />
<br />
On May 7th, 2022, history was made in Tir Mara when Sir Mohammad Al Wajdi Al Abderrafi Al Manil Ibn Horrah Ibn Gowan for THL Corotica Merkka Senebelenae defeated Viscount Culann mac Cianain for Viscountess Sefa Hrafnsdóttir at the Spring Crown tournament, which was hosted by the baronies of L’Ile du Dragon Dormant and Havres des Glace. This was the first time the East Kingdom had heirs from Tir Mara. Their coronation was in the Barony of Havre des Glaces, October, 2022. <br />

== Description ==<br />
The Crown Principality of Tir Mara comprises all of the Canadian lands within the borders of the Kingdom of the East. This area is vast, making up around four fifths of the land of the kingdom. As of this writing in AS 48, this territory is still a Crown Principality, with the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of the East being also the Prince and Princess of Tir Mara, until They have found Their heirs.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Before the Crown Principality, we had a Northern Region that was made up both American and Canadian land, however it was later recognized, by many, that the Canadian groups (made up of Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador) had their own separate needs that were better dealt with by having separate Canadian deputies. Because of this, in 1999, the formation of a new District was discussed and before the end of the year of 2000, the Northern Shores was now a District of the Northern Region.<br />
<br />
By April of 2001, it was announced that the Northern Shores would now be recognized as a region within the East Kingdom. The big news with this is that the new region will get to share in the rotation of Spring Crown Tournaments. Before this point, they were considered part of the Northern Region rotation. <br /><br />
Spring Crown Tournament, which is held on the first Saturday in May and, if necessary, the last Saturday in April rotated through the Northern Shores Region every two years with the first one being held in this new rotation was in the then, Shire of L'ile du Dragon Dormant in May of 2002. From here, just as the event is rotated through the East Kingdom, it was also rotated through the Region as it is today through the Crown Principality allowing groups to put in bids is they are capable of holding it, or if not, passing it on to another group giving preference to one that has not held it (or held it recently). <br /><br />
Since the time of being a District, the group had already begun having Northern Shores tournaments of Arms which then expanded into Regional competitions for A&S, Archery and Rapier which also were organized in a rotation between the groups. <br /><br />
Other earlier milestones (some official, some not so much) included the creation of the Boreal Army and a badge which much of Tir Mara rallied behind, the Northern Shores Warcamp in Lyndhaven and eventually the Aurora Borealis Newsletter, Nothern Shores website with a full list of deputy officers, the Northern Shores Royal Travel Fund and a push further for a Principality! Most of this time being under Aetheric Lindenerende who was the Deputy Kingdom seneschal for the Northern Shores District and then late the Northern Shores Region Seneschal through the first months of the new Crown Principality of Tir Mara, who announced on February 2nd of 2009, that on the previous Saturday, at the "Market Day at Birka" event, "Their Royal Majesties Darius and Alethea accepted the majority will as expressed in the recent status polling and created the new Crown Principality of the Northern Shores. It was noted that it is created with the intent of working towards full principality status." <br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
(Meesteres) Mergriet van Wijenhorst <br />
<br />
*Played in the Barony of [[Ruantallan]] from the last half of the 1990's to 2001?<br />
*The shire of [[Lyndhaven]] (in the area now known as [[Avonmore]]) from about 2002 to 2009 (with a short stint in An Tir)<br />
*The Barony of Septentria (Ealdormere) from 2009-2010<br />
*The Shire of Bordergate (An Tir/Avacal) from 2010 to 2013<br />
*[[Ruantallan]], canton of Distant Shores and [[Seashire]], Fall of 2013 to Winter of 2015<br />
*Shire of Lyndhaven, 2015-2020<br />
*Moved to Ruantallan in 2020, what a crazy year to be moving! <br />
<br />
In the SCA I basically like to research stuff, experiment with edible stuff, make yummy stuff and make pretty stuff<br />
I also enjoy learning more about my persona and having a little fun with my in-game appearance and slowly improving my shop and kit. <br />
Am presently an active scribe, an occasional webminister and a willing cook... sometimes all of these collide! <br />
<br />
*was a Student of Mistress Elena Rueda viuda de Lochcarron (mid. 2000's) <br />
*was apprenticed to Mistress [[Elizabeth Darnley]] at Herne the Hunter, A.S.48<br />
<br />
I only ever entered in 4 A&S competitions in the SCA, but have judged in more. Generally I enjoy display and practical application more but I enjoy entering now and then as a way to support the A&S community (more entries make for more interesting competitions) with the exception of Northern Lights which I did for the experience and was not disappointed as it was a lot of fun! <br />
*Entered at Ruantallan's first novice A&S with illumination, did not win but it was fun!<br />
*1st in food category at Northern Lights so long ago I do not remember<br />
*Shire of Bordergate A&S Champion 2011? (entered food, embroidery, painted glass, playing card project...)<br />
*([[Tir Mara]]) Princess's Champion for Arts and Sciences 2014 (food)<br />
*Member of the order of the Laurel (2015) for what I can tell, my persona and food research which is so cool, I love those things :)<br />
<br />
== Apprentices and Students ==<br />
<br />
On February of 2017, I took my first apprentice, [[Symona de Verones]] at Yagaan's Banquet!<br />
<br />
and, 8 months-ish later, in October, 2017, at the Lyndhaven Championships event, I took on [[Inga Thorgansdottir]] as my second apprentice!<br />
<br />
Less formerly, I also have [[Yagaan Chinua]] learning and practicing various arts under my tutelage<br />
<br />
== Persona ==<br />
Mergriet is a native of Brabant who moved to Antwerp as a child. Her father was a skilled migrant worker who saw Antwerp as a place that would hold better fortunes. Mergriet (AKA Griet) has lived there ever since, though as tensions rise in the city, her husband is now looking at taking them either further north or over to England. <br />
<br />
Her present place of residence is at the [https://sites.google.com/site/eikenzwijn/ Eik en Zwijn]<br />
<br />
== Preferences ==<br />
It's become challenging for many of us to understand what people like when we write them in for awards, wish to make something for them or something as simple as address them. Because of this, I am participating here, if anything, as an example for other entries... and hey, and if my entry makes it easier for you, or someone else, this is good :) <br />
<br />
Title: "Meesteres" (kinda sounds like "Maay-stress") However, I am very accustomed to mingling with people from many cultures, also, this may be a 'title' others are uncomfortable with so more than willing to explore further. When it comes to being addressed, I am quite flexible! **Also noted, should a better title be decided upon, I am very flexible <br />
<br />
Name: Some call me by my long name but most call me by my pet name "Griet", I respond to both and don't worry much about how you pronounce it... again, many cultures. <br />
<br />
Scrolls: While I try to make what I might find others would enjoy, my personal favourite are document style scrolls, especially worded like a document. <br />
<br />
Favourites: I love things with a level of research behind them, particularly useful things... I love fleams, black piggies and lean towards decorative touches in either black or red, though, for clothing, I prefer any colour, fabric or style, that would have been worn in my time period. <br />
<br />
In case of court: Updating this one a bit. Again, I enjoy the unusual, fun, silly or whatever. I also enjoy seriously authentic. Really, I am rather all over the place and pretty relaxed these days. <br />
<br />
My personal view on awards: (Thought I might wish to add this in here, cause it can matter) Reasons, and intent, matter to me, this includes the intent of the actual awards, from why a person is written in (who doesn't like to know why they are receiving an award?) to the intent of the award itself. This said, I already have maunche, laurel, and silver crescent, and would appreciate our limited time in court, and other resources, not be put into silver awards for myself, not that I would not graciously accept it if given. This is mostly to aid any who might see fit to write me in for something, they are lovely awards, just that I personally would love to see someone who is doing well in those areas (but maybe not reaching the level of maunche, crescent, combatant etc. yet) get written in instead, and foremost, as it's an opportunity to formally recognize their work and efforts that they might not otherwise get. <br />
<br />
== Offices & Positions ==<br />
In the past I had full term positions of Webminister and Chronicler for Lyndhaven and was the Minister of Children for the Northern Shores region (now Tir Mara). In 2014 I stepped in as Webminister for the Barony of Ruantallan up until Jan. of 2015 when we moved to the Shire of Lyndhaven. EK Scribe, long supporter of the Ruantallan scriptorium, stepped in to help as Tir Mara scribal deputy for a period of time until being needed as a shire chatelaine and filling in as a webminister at large (working on, and maintaining, the Tir Mara website). Shortly after this I took on a full role of serving as the Tir Mara Webminister deputy and as our shire's Senschal (until 2018) while continuing on with occasional scribal work.<br />
<br />
I've been taking a bit of a break since our move, and all the shutdowns that happened during that time, to recollect myself and partake in a little self care.<br />
<br />
== Event Staff ==<br />
<br />
While I tended to serve as a co-autocrat rather than being the main person in charge, I have run many dayboards and kitchens dating back to my early years in Lyndhaven. I very much love getting the opportunity to run a kitchen or even be permitted to come play in someone else's. <br />
<br />
First event I cooked for, on returning to the East Kingdom (fall of 2013), was in Feb. 2014 "Dinner at Finchcocks Court", this was a test run for creating high persona events in the area. For me it was an opportunity to arrange a meal as would have been known to an English person of higher standing in the 1590's, well, at least to best of our knowledge. A few things went awry, but we worked out a lot of quirks, great experience over all! Hope to see more of these pop up in the future!<br />
<br />
After doing a few feasts here and there, I finally got to participate in yet another high persona feast, Yagaan's Banquet (Feb. 2017), this time it was cooking Mongolian food!<br />
<br />
More feasts were made for events both big and small since this, but I hardly kept track. Some had severe challenges, like food not surviving an extra long trip due to an emergency, or 80% of my cooktops going on the fritz (and the meal was planned around the cooktops because the ovens were unreliable lol), yet people still got fed, amazingly, and so many lessons learned. These were an adventure, that's for sure. <br />
<br />
Thing is, I have taken on many roles at events, like many people, but just didn't keep track of the details, from tokens, to food, to organizing activities, to teaching, reservations, webpages and so on. It was fun. <br />
<br />
== Merchanting ==<br />
<br />
In 2007, myself and Tali'a formed "The Amber River Sweet Shop" and merchanted together at various events, eventually leaving Tali'a to take over the shop with husband as I traveled across the country. Since then, my husband and I have occasionally opened up the "The Oak and Boar" (just look for the piggies and cold drinks!).<br />
<br />
Dabbled a bit with merchanting of general goods and sold a few pewter items that would have been made in pewter, or lead, and commonly owned. This was fun, but it was also an excuse to dabble with various ways to create affordable moulds for low melt casting. Some some and have some stock still, so who knows. Selling it does help fund that project, or, at the very least, helps fund my attendance at events. <br />
<br />
== Scribal Stuff ==<br />
<br />
This is something I've dabbled with for a while, at least since the 90's. Presently I do it because I can and it's fun and so love having these go out to so many people. Now and then, I even remember to take a photo... not as often as I should though... but, here are a few :) <br />
*Scrolls from 2010 and up: *[https://www.flickr.com/photos/landverhuizer/albums/72157643683602354/ "Newer Scribal Work" (flickr)]<br />

<br />
== Projects & Publications ==<br />
<br />
Too many to remember them all, though I do presently update various webpages/blogs. Some more SCA related ones are these:<br />
<br />
**at present, my historic food site is down... there are a number of pages of "oldfoodways.ino" on site as like waybackmachine. At some point, I do plan on resurrecting it<br />

<br />
== Description ==<br />
The Crown Principality of Tir Mara comprises all of the Canadian lands within the borders of the Kingdom of the East. This area is vast, making up around four fifths of the land of the kingdom. As of this writing in AS 48, this territory is still a Crown Principality, with the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of the East being also the Prince and Princess of Tir Mara, until They have found Their heirs.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Before the Crown Principality, we had a Northern Region that was made up both American and Canadian land, however it was later recognized, by many, that the Canadian groups (made up of Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador) had their own separate needs that were better dealt with by having separate Canadian deputies. Because of this, in 1999, the formation of a new District was discussed and before the end of the year of 2000, the Northern Shores was now a District of the Northern Region.<br />
<br />
By April of 2001, it was announced that the Northern Shores would now be recognized as a region within the East Kingdom. The big news with this is that the new region will get to share in the rotation of Spring Crown Tournaments. Before this point, they were considered part of the Northern Region rotation. <br /><br />
Spring Crown Tournament, which is held on the first Saturday in May and, if necessary, the last Saturday in April rotated through the Northern Shores Region every two years with the first one being held in this new rotation was in the then, Shire of L'ile du Dragon Dormant in May of 2002. From here, just as the event is rotated through the East Kingdom, it was also rotated through the Region as it is today through the Crown Principality allowing groups to put in bids is they are capable of holding it, or if not, passing it on to another group giving preference to one that has not held it (or held it recently). <br /><br />
Since the time of being a District, the group had already begun having Northern Shores tournaments of Arms which then expanded into Regional competitions for A&S, Archery and Rapier which also were organized in a rotation between the groups. <br /><br />
Other earlier milestones (some official, some not so much) included the creation of the Boreal Army and a badge which much of Tir Mara rallied behind, the Northern Shores Warcamp in Lyndhaven and eventually the Aurora Borealis Newsletter, Nothern Shores website with a full list of deputy officers, the Northern Shores Royal Travel Fund and a push further for a Principality! Most of this time being under Aetheric Lindenerende who was the Deputy Kingdom seneschal for the Northern Shores District and then late the Northern Shores Region Seneschal through the first months of the new Crown Principality of Tir Mara, who announced on February 2nd of 2009, that on the previous Saturday, at the "Market Day at Birka" event, "Their Royal Majesties Darius and Alethea accepted the majority will as expressed in the recent status polling and created the new Crown Principality of the Northern Shores. It was noted that it is created with the intent of working towards full principality status." Saturday, January 31st, will mark the 10th anniversary of this occasion. <br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
(Meesteres) Mergriet van Wijenhorst <br />
<br />
*Played in the Barony of [[Ruantallan]] from the last half of the 1990's to 2001?<br />
*The shire of [[Lyndhaven]] (in the area now known as [[Avonmore]]) from about 2002 to 2009 (with a short stint in An Tir)<br />
*The Barony of Septentria (Ealdormere) from 2009-2010<br />
*The Shire of Bordergate (An Tir/Avacal) from 2010 to 2013<br />
*[[Ruantallan]], canton of Distant Shores and [[Seashire]], Fall of 2013 to Winter of 2015<br />
*Shire of Lyndhaven, 2015-2020<br />
*Moved to Ruantallan in 2020, what a crazy year to be moving! <br />
<br />
In the SCA I basically like to research stuff, experiment with edible stuff, make yummy stuff and make pretty stuff<br />
I also enjoy learning more about my persona and having a little fun with my in-game appearance and slowly improving my shop and kit. <br />
Am presently an active scribe, an occasional webminister and a willing cook... sometimes all of these collide! <br />
<br />
*Student of Mistress Elena Rueda viuda de Lochcarron (mid. 2000's) <br />
*Apprenticed to Mistress [[Elizabeth Darnley]] at Herne the Hunter, A.S.48<br />
<br />
I only ever entered in 4 A&S competitions in the SCA, but have judged in more. Generally I enjoy display and practical application more but I enjoy entering now and then as a way to support the A&S community (more entries make for more interesting competitions) with the exception of Northern Lights which I did for the experience and was not disappointed as it was a lot of fun! <br />
*Entered at Ruantallan's first novice A&S with illumination, did not win but it was fun!<br />
*1st in food category at Northern Lights so long ago I do not remember<br />
*Shire of Bordergate A&S Champion 2011? (entered food, embroidery, painted glass, playing card project...)<br />
*([[Tir Mara]]) Princess's Champion for Arts and Sciences 2014 (food)<br />
*Member of the order of the Laurel (2015) for what I can tell, my persona and food research which is so cool, I love those things :)<br />
<br />
== Apprentices and Students ==<br />
<br />
On February of 2017, I took my first apprentice, [[Symona de Verones]] at Yagaan's Banquet!<br />
<br />
and, 8 months-ish later, in October, 2017, at the Lyndhaven Championships event, I took on [[Inga Thorgansdottir]] as my second apprentice!<br />
<br />
Less formerly, I also have [[Yagaan Chinua]] learning and practicing various arts under my tutelage<br />
<br />
== Persona ==<br />
Mergriet is a native of Brabant who moved to Antwerp as a child. Her father was a skilled migrant worker who saw Antwerp as a place that would hold better fortunes. Mergriet (AKA Griet) has lived there ever since, though as tensions rise in the city, her husband is now looking at taking them either further north or over to England. <br />
<br />
Her present place of residence is at the [https://sites.google.com/site/eikenzwijn/ Eik en Zwijn]<br />
<br />
== Preferences ==<br />
It's become challenging for many of us to understand what people like when we write them in for awards, wish to make something for them or something as simple as address them. Because of this, I am participating here, if anything, as an example for other entries... and hey, and if my entry makes it easier for you, or someone else, this is good :) <br />
<br />
Title: "Meesteres" (kinda sounds like "Maay-stress") However, I am very accustomed to mingling with people from many cultures, also, this may be a 'title' others are uncomfortable with so more than willing to explore further. When it comes to being addressed, I am quite flexible! **Also noted, should a better title be decided upon, I am very flexible <br />
<br />
Name: Some call me by my long name but most call me by my pet name "Griet", I respond to both and don't worry much about how you pronounce it... again, many cultures. <br />
<br />
Scrolls: While I try to make what I might find others would enjoy, my personal favourite are document style scrolls, especially worded like a document. <br />
<br />
Favourites: I love things with a level of research behind them, particularly useful things... I love fleams, black piggies and lean towards decorative touches in either black or red, though, for clothing, I prefer any colour, fabric or style, that would have been worn in my time period. <br />
<br />
Can never have enough: Woven tape... all the woven tape in the world! white tape, red tape... plain woven tape is love and so is silk ribbon.<br />
<br />
In case of court: well at this point, I have become a whole lot more flexible... my favourite scroll style is previously mentioned, I am already a peer... but I am totally game for anything fun or even out of the sca-ordinary :) In addition, if for some crazy reason I am called into court, be it award or something particularly crazy (I been mostly good, promise), ethereal courts are as cool as any to me **Just note, apparently online attendance is something I am apparently very unlikely to be available for, it seems my computer time has been hectic at best over the 2020/21 years so far.<br />
<br />
== Offices & Positions ==<br />
In the past I had full term positions of Webminister and Chronicler for Lyndhaven and was the Minister of Children for the Northern Shores region (now Tir Mara). In 2014 I stepped in as Webminister for the Barony of Ruantallan up until Jan. of 2015 when we moved to the Shire of Lyndhaven. EK Scribe, long supporter of the Ruantallan scriptorium, stepped in to help as Tir Mara scribal deputy for a period of time until being needed as a shire chatelaine and filling in as a webminister at large (working on, and maintaining, the Tir Mara website). Shortly after this I took on a full role of serving as the Tir Mara Webminister deputy and as our shire's Senschal (until 2018) while continuing on with occasional scribal work.<br />
<br />
== Event Staff ==<br />
<br />
While I tended to serve as a co-autocrat rather than being the main person in charge, I have run many dayboards and kitchens dating back to my early years in Lyndhaven. I very much love getting the opportunity to run a kitchen or even be permitted to come play in someone else's. <br />
<br />
First event I cooked for, on returning to the East Kingdom (fall of 2013), was in Feb. 2014 "Dinner at Finchcocks Court", this was a test run for creating high persona events in the area. For me it was an opportunity to arrange a meal as would have been known to an English person of higher standing in the 1590's, well, at least to best of our knowledge. A few things went awry, but we worked out a lot of quirks, great experience over all! Hope to see more of these pop up in the future!<br />
<br />
After doing a few feasts here and there, I finally got to participate in yet another high persona feast, Yagaan's Banquet (Feb. 2017), this time it was cooking Mongolain food!<br />
<br />
My last feast was an attempt at Hungarian cuisine for Crown feast in Ruantallan (2018), most of it went well apart from a few hiccups with food storage effecting the quality of a few items... cause I am lucky that way, but we succeeded as we managed to get past a flood filled province, avoid a possible deployment and still make it there somewhat in tact ;) <br />
<br />
== Merchanting ==<br />
<br />
In 2007, myself and Tali'a formed "The Amber River Sweet Shop" and merchanted together at various events, eventually leaving Tali'a to take over the shop with husband as I traveled across the country. Since then, my husband and I have occasionally opened up the "The Oak and Boar" (just look for the piggies and cold drinks!).<br />
<br />
== Scribal Stuff ==<br />
<br />
This is something I've dabbled with for a while, at least since the 90's. Presently I do it because I can and it's fun and so love having these go out to so many people. Now and then, I even remember to take a photo... not as often as I should though... but, here are a few :) <br />

Too many to remember them all, though I do presently update various webpages/blogs. Some more SCA related ones are these:<br />

In case of court: well at this point, I have become a whole lot more flexible... my favourite scroll style is previously mentioned, I am already a peer... but I am totally game for anything fun or even out of the sca-ordinary :) In addition, if for some crazy reason I am called into court, be it award or something particularly crazy (I been mostly good, promise), ethereal courts are as cool as any to me.<br />
<br />
== Offices & Positions ==<br />
In the past I had full term positions of Webminister and Chronicler for Lyndhaven and was the Minister of Children for the Northern Shores region (now Tir Mara). In 2014 I stepped in as Webminister for the Barony of Ruantallan up until Jan. of 2015 when we moved to the Shire of Lyndhaven. EK Scribe, long supporter of the Ruantallan scriptorium, stepped in to help as Tir Mara scribal deputy for a period of time until being needed as a shire chatelaine and filling in as a webminister at large (working on, and maintaining, the Tir Mara website). Shortly after this I took on a full role of serving as the Tir Mara Webminister deputy and as our shire's Senschal (until 2018) while continuing on with occasional scribal work.<br />
<br />
== Event Staff ==<br />
<br />
While I tended to serve as a co-autocrat rather than being the main person in charge, I have run many dayboards and kitchens dating back to my early years in Lyndhaven. I very much love getting the opportunity to run a kitchen or even be permitted to come play in someone else's. <br />
<br />
First event I cooked for, on returning to the East Kingdom (fall of 2013), was in Feb. 2014 "Dinner at Finchcocks Court", this was a test run for creating high persona events in the area. For me it was an opportunity to arrange a meal as would have been known to an English person of higher standing in the 1590's, well, at least to best of our knowledge. A few things went awry, but we worked out a lot of quirks, great experience over all! Hope to see more of these pop up in the future!<br />
<br />
After doing a few feasts here and there, I finally got to participate in yet another high persona feast, Yagaan's Banquet (Feb. 2017), this time it was cooking Mongolain food!<br />
<br />
My last feast was an attempt at Hungarian cuisine for Crown feast in Ruantallan (2018), most of it went well apart from a few hiccups with food storage effecting the quality of a few items... cause I am lucky that way, but we succeeded as we managed to get past a flood filled province, avoid a possible deployment and still make it there somewhat in tact ;) <br />
<br />
== Merchanting ==<br />
<br />
In 2007, myself and Tali'a formed "The Amber River Sweet Shop" and merchanted together at various events, eventually leaving Tali'a to take over the shop with husband as I traveled across the country. Since then, my husband and I have occasionally opened up the "The Oak and Boar" (just look for the piggies and cold drinks!).<br />
<br />
== Scribal Stuff ==<br />
<br />
This is something I've dabbled with for a while, at least since the 90's. Presently I do it because I can and it's fun and so love having these go out to so many people. Now and then, I even remember to take a photo... not as often as I should though... but, here are a few :) <br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
(Meesteres) Mergriet van Wijenhorst <br />
<br />
*Played in the Barony of [[Ruantallan]] from the last half of the 1990's to 2001?<br />
*The shire of [[Lyndhaven]] (in the area now known as [[Avonmore]]) from about 2002 to 2009 (with a short stint in An Tir)<br />
*The Barony of Septentria (Ealdormere) from 2009-2010<br />
*The Shire of Bordergate (An Tir/Avacal) from 2010 to 2013<br />
*[[Ruantallan]], canton of [[Seashire]], Fall of 2013 to Winter of 2015<br />
*Shire of Lyndhaven, 2015<br />
<br />
In the SCA I basically like to research stuff, experiment with edible stuff, make yummy stuff and make pretty stuff<br />
I also enjoy learning more about my persona and having a little fun with my in-game appearance and slowly improving my shop and kit. <br />
Am presently an active scribe, an occasional webminister and a willing cook... sometimes all of these collide! <br />
<br />
*Student of Mistress Elena Rueda viuda de Lochcarron (mid. 2000's) <br />
*Apprenticed to Mistress [[Elizabeth Darnley]] at Herne the Hunter, A.S.48<br />
<br />
I only ever entered in 4 A&S competitions in the SCA, but have judged in more. Generally I enjoy display and practical application more but I enjoy entering now and then as a way to support the A&S community (more entries make for more interesting competitions) with the exception of Northern Lights which I did for the experience and was not disappointed as it was a lot of fun! <br />
*Entered at Ruantallan's first novice A&S with illumination, did not win but it was fun!<br />
*1st in food category at Northern Lights so long ago I do not remember<br />
*Shire of Bordergate A&S Champion 2011? (entered food, embroidery, painted glass, playing card project...)<br />
*([[Tir Mara]]) Princess's Champion for Arts and Sciences 2014 (food)<br />
*Member of the order of the Laurel (2015) for what I can tell, my persona and food research which is so cool, I love those things :)<br />
<br />
== Apprentices and Students ==<br />
<br />
On February of 2017, I took my first apprentice, [[Symona de Verones]] at Yagaan's Banquet!<br />
<br />
and, 8 months-ish later, in October, 2017, at the Lyndhaven Championships event, I took on [[Inga Thorgansdottir]] as my second apprentice!<br />
<br />
Less formerly, I also have [[Yagaan Chinua]] learning and practicing various arts under my tutelage<br />
<br />
== Persona ==<br />
Mergriet is a native of Brabant who moved to Antwerp as a child. Her father was a skilled migrant worker who saw Antwerp as a place that would hold better fortunes. Mergriet (AKA Griet) has lived there ever since, though as tensions rise in the city, her husband is now looking at taking them either further north or over to England. <br />
<br />
Her present place of residence is at the [https://sites.google.com/site/eikenzwijn/ Eik en Zwijn]<br />
<br />
== Preferences ==<br />
It's become challenging for many of us to understand what people like when we write them in for awards, wish to make something for them or something as simple as address them. Because of this, I am participating here, if anything, as an example for other entries... and hey, and if my entry makes it easier for you, or someone else, this is good :) <br />
<br />
Title: "Meesteres" (kinda sounds like "Maay-stress") However, I am very accustomed to mingling with people from many cultures, also, this may be a 'title' others are uncomfortable with so more than willing to explore further. When it comes to being addressed, I am quite flexible! <br />
<br />
Name: Some call me by my long name but most call me by my pet name "Griet", I respond to both and don't worry much about how you pronounce it... again, many cultures. <br />
<br />
Scrolls: While I try to make what I might find others would enjoy, my personal favourite are document style scrolls, especially worded like a document. <br />
<br />
Favourites: I love things with a level of research behind them, particularly useful things... I love fleams, black piggies and lean towards decorative touches in either black or red, though, for clothing, I prefer any colour, fabric or style, that would have been worn in my time period. <br />
<br />
Can never have enough: Woven tape... all the woven tape in the world! white tape, red tape... plain woven tape is love and so is silk ribbon.<br />
<br />
In case of court: well at this point, I have become a whole lot more flexible... my favourite scroll style is previously mentioned, I am already a peer... but I am totally game for anything fun or even out of the sca-ordinary :) In addition, if for some crazy reason I am called into court, be it award or something particularly crazy (I been mostly good, promise), ethereal courts are as cool as any to me.<br />

<br />
From 2016-2018, I have been serving as the Seneschal for the shire of Lyndhaven as while continuing on as Tir Mara Deputy webminister, while continuing with occasional scribal work. <br />
<br />
Presently I am filling in as a temporary Shire webminister, if I continue will depend on shire need and my finances, but am happy to help while I can. <br />

The Shire of Lyndhaven has been once known as the "hinge" shire in the Crown Principality of [[Tir Mara]]. Located between the shire of [[Avonmore]] and the barony of [[Havre des Glaces]], and beside the shire of Smithwick in the Northern Region. Lyndhaven is a physically large shire, taking almost three hours to drive from the Avonmore border to [[Smithwick]] (Northern Region), and over four hours to drive from the southern city of Saint John to the edge of Havre des Glaces. Our population is mostly found within and around the communities of Woodstock, Fredericton, and Saint John.<br />

The Shire of Lyndhaven is the "hinge" shire in the Crown Principality of [[Tir Mara]]. Located between the shire of [[Avonmore]] and the barony of [[Havre des Glaces]], and beside the shire of Smithwick in the Northern Region. Lyndhaven is a physically large shire, taking almost three hours to drive from the Avonmore border to [[Smithwick]] (Northern Region), and over four hours to drive from the southern city of Saint John to the edge of Havre des Glaces. Our population is mostly found within and around the communities of Woodstock, Fredericton, and Saint John with several members in the northern reaches.<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
''Meaning'': The Linden Tree was adopted as our shire's tree to shelter the populace when our stately Elms started dying from a mysterious illness.<br />
<br />
''Established'': August 1991 (However, the first meeting for the shire took place in September of 1986)<br />
<br />
''Blazon'': Argent, three bendlets wavy azure and overall a laurel wreath vert.<br />

== Description ==<br />
The Crown Principality of Tir Mara comprises all of the Canadian lands within the borders of the Kingdom of the East. This area is vast, making up around four fifths of the land of the kingdom. As of this writing in AS 48, this territory is still a Crown Principality, with the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of the East being also the Prince and Princess of Tir Mara, until They have found Their heirs.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Before the Crown Principality, we had a Northern Region that was made up both American and Canadian land, however it was later recognized, by many, that the Canadian groups (made up of Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador) had their own separate needs that were better dealt with by having separate Canadian deputies. Because of this, in 1999, the formation of a new District was discussed and before the end of the year of 2000, the Northern Shores was now a District of the Northern Region.<br />
<br />
By April of 2001, it was announced that the Northern Shores would now be recognized as a region within the East Kingdom. The big news with this is that the new region will get to share in the rotation of Spring Crown Tournaments. Before this point, they were considered part of the Northern Region rotation. <br /><br />
Spring Crown Tournament, which is held on the first Saturday in May and, if necessary, the last Saturday in April rotated through the Northern Shores Region every two years with the first one being held in this new rotation was in the then, Shire of L'ile du Dragon Dormant in May of 2002. From here, just as the event is rotated through the East Kingdom, it was also rotated through the Region as it is today through the Crown Principality allowing groups to put in bids is they are capable of holding it, or if not, passing it on to another group giving preference to one that has not held it (or held it recently). <br /><br />
Since the time of being a District, the group had already begun having Northern Shores tournaments of Arms which then expanded into Regional competitions for A&S, Archery and Rapier which also were organized in a rotation between the groups. <br /><br />
Other earlier milestones (some official, some not so much) included the creation of the Boreal Army and a badge which much of Tir Mara rallied behind, the Northern Shores Warcamp in Lyndhaven and eventually the Aurora Borealis Newsletter, Nothern Shores website with a full list of deputy officers, the Northern Shores Royal Travel Fund and a push further for a Principality! Most of this time being under Aetheric Lindenerende who was the Deputy Kingdom seneschal for the Northern Shores District and then late the Northern Shores Region Seneschal through the first months of the new Crown Principality of Tir Mara, who announced on February 2nd of 2009, that on the previous Saturday, at the "Market Day at Birka" event, "Their Royal Majesties Darius and Alethea accepted the majority will as expressed in the recent status polling and created the new Crown Principality of the Northern Shores. It was noted that it is created with the intent of working towards full principality status." Saturday, January 31st, will mark the 10th anniversary of this occasion. <br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
(Meesteres) Mergriet van Wijenhorst <br />
<br />
*Played in the Barony of [[Ruantallan]] from the last half of the 1990's to 2001?<br />
*The shire of [[Lyndhaven]] (in the area now known as [[Avonmore]]) from about 2002 to 2009 (with a short stint in An Tir)<br />
*The Barony of Septentria (Ealdormere) from 2009-2010<br />
*The Shire of Bordergate (An Tir/Avacal) from 2010 to 2013<br />
*[[Ruantallan]], canton of [[Seashire]], Fall of 2013 to Winter of 2015<br />
*Shire of Lyndhaven, 2015<br />
<br />
In the SCA I basically like to research stuff, experiment with edible stuff, make yummy stuff and make pretty stuff<br />
I also enjoy learning more about my persona and having a little fun with my in-game appearance and slowly improving my shop and kit. <br />
Am presently an active scribe, an occasional webminister and a willing cook... sometimes all of these collide! <br />
<br />
*Student of Mistress Elena Rueda viuda de Lochcarron (mid. 2000's) <br />
*Apprenticed to Mistress [[Elizabeth Darnley]] at Herne the Hunter, A.S.48<br />
<br />
I only ever entered in 4 A&S competitions in the SCA, but have judged in more. Generally I enjoy display and practical application more but I enjoy entering now and then as a way to support the A&S community (more entries make for more interesting competitions) with the exception of Northern Lights which I did for the experience and was not disappointed as it was a lot of fun! <br />
*Entered at Ruantallan's first novice A&S with illumination, did not win but it was fun!<br />
*1st in food category at Northern Lights so long ago I do not remember<br />
*Shire of Bordergate A&S Champion 2011? (entered food, embroidery, painted glass, playing card project...)<br />
*([[Tir Mara]]) Princess's Champion for Arts and Sciences 2014 (food)<br />
*Member of the order of the Laurel (2015) for what I can tell, my persona and food research which is so cool, I love those things :)<br />
<br />
== Apprentices and Students ==<br />
<br />
On February of 2017, I took my first apprentice, [[Symona de Verones]] at Yagaan's Banquet!<br />
<br />
and, 8 months-ish later, in October, 2017, at the Lyndhaven Championships event, I took on [[Inga Thorgansdottir]] as my second apprentice!<br />
<br />
Less formerly, I also have [[Yagaan Chinua]] learning and practicing various arts under my tutelage<br />
<br />
== Persona ==<br />
Mergriet is a native of Brabant who moved to Antwerp as a child. Her father was a skilled migrant worker who saw Antwerp as a place that would hold better fortunes. Mergriet (AKA Griet) has lived there ever since, though as tensions rise in the city, her husband is now looking at taking them either further north or over to England. <br />

== Preferences ==<br />
It's become challenging for many of us to understand what people like when we write them in for awards, wish to make something for them or something as simple as address them. Because of this, I am participating here, if anything, as an example for other entries... and hey, and if my entry makes it easier for you, or someone else, this is good :) <br />
<br />
Title: "Meesteres" (kinda sounds like "Maay-stress") However, I am very accustomed to mingling with people from many cultures and gladly accept "Mistress" or even "Master" (the masculine form is probably more likely to be used in period). <br />
Basically, I am flexible! <br />
<br />
Name: Some call me by my long name but most call me by my pet name "Griet", I respond to both and don't worry much about how you pronounce it... again, many cultures. <br />
<br />
Scrolls: While I try to make what I might find others would enjoy, my personal favourite are document style scrolls, especially worded like a document. <br />
<br />
Favourites: I love things with a level of research behind them, particularly useful things... I love fleams, black piggies and lean towards decorative touches in either black or red, though, for clothing, I prefer any colour, fabric or style, that would have been worn in my time period. <br />
<br />
Can never have enough: Woven tape... all the woven tape in the world! white tape, red tape... plain woven tape is love and so is silk ribbon.<br />
<br />
In case of court: well at this point, I have become a whole lot more flexible... my favourite scroll style is previously mentioned, I am already a peer... but I am totally game for anything fun or even out of the sca-ordinary :)<br />
<br />
== Offices & Positions ==<br />
In the past I had full term positions of Webminister and Chronicler for Lyndhaven and was the Minister of Children for the Northern Shores region (now Tir Mara). In 2014 I stepped in as Webminister for the Barony of Ruantallan up until Jan. of 2015 when we moved to the Shire of Lyndhaven. EK Scribe, long supporter of the Ruantallan scriptorium, stepped in to help as Tir Mara scribal deputy, am a webminister at large (also worked on, and maintained, the Tir Mara website) and served temporarily as Chatelaine for Lyndhaven in 2015 until finding a replacement. <br />
<br />
From 2016-2018, I have been serving as the Seneschal for the shire of Lyndhaven as while continuing on as Tir Mara Deputy webminister, while continuing with occasional scribal work. <br />
<br />
Presently I am filling in as a temporary Shire webminister, if I continue will depend on shire need and my finances, but am happy to help while I can. <br />
<br />
== Event Staff ==<br />
<br />
While I tended to serve as a co-autocrat rather than being the main person in charge, I have run many dayboards and kitchens dating back to my early years in Lyndhaven. I very much love getting the opportunity to run a kitchen or even be permitted to come play in someone else's. <br />
<br />
First event I cooked for, on returning to the East Kingdom (fall of 2013), was in Feb. 2014 "Dinner at Finchcocks Court", this was a test run for creating high persona events in the area. For me it was an opportunity to arrange a meal as would have been known to an English person of higher standing in the 1590's, well, at least to best of our knowledge. A few things went awry, but we worked out a lot of quirks, great experience over all! Hope to see more of these pop up in the future!<br />
<br />
After doing a few feasts here and there, I finally got to participate in yet another high persona feast, Yagaan's Banquet (Feb. 2017), this time it was cooking Mongolain food!<br />
<br />
My last feast was an attempt at Hungarian cuisine for Crown feast in Ruantallan (2018), most of it went well apart from a few hiccups with food storage effecting the quality of a few items... cause I am lucky that way, but we succeeded as we managed to get past a flood filled province, avoid a possible deployment and still make it there somewhat in tact ;) <br />
<br />
== Merchanting ==<br />
<br />
In 2007, myself and Tali'a formed "The Amber River Sweet Shop" and merchanted together at various events, eventually leaving Tali'a to take over the shop with husband as I traveled across the country. Since then, my husband and I have occasionally opened up the "The Oak and Boar" (just look for the piggies and cold drinks!).<br />
<br />
== Scribal Stuff ==<br />
<br />
This is something I've dabbled with for a while, at least since the 90's. Presently I do it because I can and it's fun and so love having these go out to so many people. Now and then, I even remember to take a photo... not as often as I should though... but, here are a few :) <br />
*Scrolls from 2010 and up: *[https://www.flickr.com/photos/landverhuizer/albums/72157643683602354/ "Newer Scribal Work" (flickr)]<br />

<br />
== Projects & Publications ==<br />
<br />
Too many to remember them all, though I do presently update various webpages/blogs. Some more SCA related ones are these:<br />
<br />
**at present, my historic food site is down... there are a number of pages of "oldfoodways.ino" on site as like waybackmachine. At some point, I do plan on resurrecting it<br />

<br />
== Description ==<br />
The Crown Principality of Tir Mara comprises all of the Canadian lands within the borders of the Kingdom of the East. This area is vast, making up around four fifths of the land of the kingdom. As of this writing in AS 48, this territory is still a Crown Principality, with the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of the East being also the Prince and Princess of Tir Mara, until They have found Their heirs.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Before the Crown Principality, we had a Northern Region that was made up both American and Canadian land, however it was later recognized, by many, that the Canadian groups (made up of Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador) had their own separate needs that were better dealt with by having separate Canadian deputies. Because of this, in 1999, the formation of a new District was discussed and before the end of the year of 2000, the Northern Shores was now a District of the Northern Region.<br />
<br />
By April of 2001, it was announced that the Northern Shores would now be recognized as a region within the East Kingdom. The big news with this is that the new region will get to share in the rotation of Spring Crown Tournaments. Before this point, they were considered part of the Northern Region rotation. <br /><br />
Spring Crown Tournament, which is held on the first Saturday in May and, if necessary, the last Saturday in April rotated through the Northern Shores Region every two years with the first one being held in this new rotation was in the then, Shire of L'ile du Dragon Dormant in May of 2002. From here, just as the event is rotated through the East Kingdom, it was also rotated through the Region as it is today through the Crown Principality allowing groups to put in bids is they are capable of holding it, or if not, passing it on to another group giving preference to one that has not held it (or held it recently). <br /><br />
Since the time of being a District, the group had already begun having Northern Shores tournaments of Arms which then expanded into Regional competitions for A&S, Archery and Rapier which also were organized in a rotation between the groups. <br /><br />
Other earlier milestones (some official, some not so much) included the creation of the Boreal Army and a badge which much of Tir Mara rallied behind, the Northern Shores Warcamp in Lyndhaven and eventually the Aurora Borealis Newsletter, Nothern Shores website with a full list of deputy officers, the Northern Shores Royal Travel Fund and a push further for a Principality! Most of this time being under Aetheric Lindenerende who was the Deputy Kingdom seneschal for the Northern Shores District and then late the Northern Shores Region Seneschal through the first months of the new Crown Principality of Tir Mara, who announced on February 2nd of 2009, that on the previous Saturday, at the "Market Day at Birka" event, "Their Royal Majesties Darius and Alethea accepted the majority will as expressed in the recent status polling and created the new Crown Principality of the Northern Shores. It was noted that it is created with the intent of working towards full principality status." Saturday, January 31st, will mark the 10th anniversary of this occasion. <br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
(Meesteres) Mergriet van Wijenhorst <br />
<br />
*Played in the Barony of [[Ruantallan]] from the last half of the 1990's to 2001?<br />
*The shire of [[Lyndhaven]] (in the area now known as [[Avonmore]]) from about 2002 to 2009 (with a short stint in An Tir)<br />
*The Barony of Septentria (Ealdormere) from 2009-2010<br />
*The Shire of Bordergate (An Tir/Avacal) from 2010 to 2013<br />
*[[Ruantallan]], canton of [[Seashire]], Fall of 2013 to Winter of 2015<br />
*Shire of Lyndhaven, 2015<br />
<br />
In the SCA I basically like to research stuff, experiment with edible stuff, make yummy stuff and make pretty stuff<br />
I also enjoy learning more about my persona and having a little fun with my in-game appearance and slowly improving my shop and kit. <br />
Am presently an active scribe, an occasional webminister and a willing cook... sometimes all of these collide! <br />
<br />
*Student of Mistress Elena Rueda viuda de Lochcarron (mid. 2000's) <br />
*Apprenticed to Mistress [[Elizabeth Darnley]] at Herne the Hunter, A.S.48<br />
<br />
I only ever entered in 4 A&S competitions in the SCA, but have judged in more. Generally I enjoy display and practical application more but I enjoy entering now and then as a way to support the A&S community (more entries make for more interesting competitions) with the exception of Northern Lights which I did for the experience and was not disappointed as it was a lot of fun! <br />
*Entered at Ruantallan's first novice A&S with illumination, did not win but it was fun!<br />
*1st in food category at Northern Lights so long ago I do not remember<br />
*Shire of Bordergate A&S Champion 2011? (entered food, embroidery, painted glass, playing card project...)<br />
*([[Tir Mara]]) Princess's Champion for Arts and Sciences 2014 (food)<br />
*Member of the order of the Laurel (2015) for what I can tell, my persona and food research which is so cool, I love those things :)<br />
<br />
== Apprentices and Students ==<br />

On February of 2017, I took my first apprentice, [[Symona de Verones]] at Yagaan's Banquet!<br />
<br />
and, 8 months-ish later, in October, 2017, at the Lyndhaven Championships event, I took on [[Inga Thorgansdottir]] as my second apprentice!<br />
<br />
Less formerly, I also have [[Yagaan Chinua]] learning and practicing various arts under my tutelage<br />
<br />
== Persona ==<br />
Mergriet is a native of Brabant who moved to Antwerp as a child. Her father was a skilled migrant worker who saw Antwerp as a place that would hold better fortunes. Mergriet (AKA Griet) has lived there ever since, though as tensions rise in the city, her husband is now looking at taking them either further north or over to England. <br />
<br />
Her present place of residence is at the [https://sites.google.com/site/eikenzwijn/ Eik en Zwijn]<br />
<br />
== Preferences ==<br />
It's become challenging for many of us to understand what people like when we write them in for awards, wish to make something for them or something as simple as address them. Because of this, I am participating here, if anything, as an example for other entries... and hey, and if my entry makes it easier for you, or someone else, this is good :) <br />
<br />
Title: "Meesteres" (kinda sounds like "Maay-stress") However, I am very accustomed to mingling with people from many cultures and gladly accept "Mistress" or even "Master" (the masculine form is probably more likely to be used in period). <br />
Basically, I am flexible! <br />
<br />
Name: Some call me by my long name but most call me by my pet name "Griet", I respond to both and don't worry much about how you pronounce it... again, many cultures. <br />
<br />
Scrolls: While I try to make what I might find others would enjoy, my personal favourite are document style scrolls, especially worded like a document. <br />
<br />
Favourites: I love things with a level of research behind them, particularly useful things... I love fleams, black piggies and lean towards decorative touches in either black or red, though, for clothing, I prefer any colour, fabric or style, that would have been worn in my time period. <br />
<br />
Can never have enough: Woven tape... all the woven tape in the world! white tape, red tape... plain woven tape is love and so is silk ribbon.<br />
<br />
In case of court: well at this point, I have become a whole lot more flexible... my favourite scroll style is previously mentioned, I am already a peer... but I am totally game for anything fun or even out of the sca-ordinary :)<br />
<br />
== Offices & Positions ==<br />
In the past I had full term positions of Webminister and Chronicler for Lyndhaven and was the Minister of Children for the Northern Shores region (now Tir Mara). In 2014 I stepped in as Webminister for the Barony of Ruantallan up until Jan. of 2015 when we moved to the Shire of Lyndhaven. EK Scribe, long supporter of the Ruantallan scriptorium, stepped in to help as Tir Mara scribal deputy, am a webminister at large (also worked on, and maintained, the Tir Mara website) and served temporarily as Chatelaine for Lyndhaven in 2015 until finding a replacement. <br />
<br />
From 2016-2018, I have been serving as the Seneschal for the shire of Lyndhaven as while continuing on as Tir Mara Deputy webminister, while continuing with occasional scribal work. <br />
<br />
Presently I am filling in as a temporary Shire webminister, if I continue will depend on shire need and my finances, but am happy to help while I can. <br />
<br />
== Event Staff ==<br />
<br />
While I tended to serve as a co-autocrat rather than being the main person in charge, I have run many dayboards and kitchens dating back to my early years in Lyndhaven. I very much love getting the opportunity to run a kitchen or even be permitted to come play in someone else's. <br />
<br />
First event I cooked for, on returning to the East Kingdom (fall of 2013), was in Feb. 2014 "Dinner at Finchcocks Court", this was a test run for creating high persona events in the area. For me it was an opportunity to arrange a meal as would have been known to an English person of higher standing in the 1590's, well, at least to best of our knowledge. A few things went awry, but we worked out a lot of quirks, great experience over all! Hope to see more of these pop up in the future!<br />
<br />
After doing a few feasts here and there, I finally got to participate in yet another high persona feast, Yagaan's Banquet (Feb. 2017), this time it was cooking Mongolain food!<br />
<br />
My last feast was an attempt at Hungarian cuisine for Crown feast in Ruantallan (2018), most of it went well apart from a few hiccups with food storage effecting the quality of a few items... cause I am lucky that way, but we succeeded as we managed to get past a flood filled province, avoid a possible deployment and still make it there somewhat in tact ;) <br />
<br />
== Merchanting ==<br />
<br />
In 2007, myself and Tali'a formed "The Amber River Sweet Shop" and merchanted together at various events, eventually leaving Tali'a to take over the shop with husband as I traveled across the country. Since then, my husband and I have occasionally opened up the "The Oak and Boar" (just look for the piggies and cold drinks!).<br />
<br />
== Scribal Stuff ==<br />
<br />
This is something I've dabbled with for a while, at least since the 90's. Presently I do it because I can and it's fun and so love having these go out to so many people. Now and then, I even remember to take a photo... not as often as I should though... but, here are a few :) <br />

<br />
== Description ==<br />
The Crown Principality of Tir Mara comprises all of the Canadian lands within the borders of the Kingdom of the East. This area is vast, making up around four fifths of the land of the kingdom. As of this writing in AS 48, this territory is still a Crown Principality, with the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of the East being also the Prince and Princess of Tir Mara, until They have found Their heirs.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Before the Crown Principality, we had a Northern Region that was made up both American and Canadian land, however it was later recognized, by many, that the Canadian groups (made up of Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador) had their own separate needs that were better dealt with by having separate Canadian deputies. Because of this, in 1999, the formation of a new District was discussed and before the end of the year of 2000, the Northern Shores was now a District of the Northern Region.<br />
<br />
By April of 2001, it was announced that the Northern Shores would now be recognized as a region within the East Kingdom. The big news with this is that the new region will get to share in the rotation of Spring Crown Tournaments. Before this point, they were considered part of the Northern Region rotation. <br /><br />
Spring Crown Tournament, which is held on the first Saturday in May and, if necessary, the last Saturday in April rotated through the Northern Shores Region every two years with the first one being held in this new rotation was in the then, Shire of L'ile du Dragon Dormant in May of 2002. From here, just as the event is rotated through the East Kingdom, it was also rotated through the Region as it is today through the Crown Principality allowing groups to put in bids is they are capable of holding it, or if not, passing it on to another group giving preference to one that has not held it (or held it recently). <br /><br />
Since the time of being a District, the group had already begun having Northern Shores tournaments of Arms which then expanded into Regional competitions for A&S, Archery and Rapier which also were organized in a rotation between the groups. <br /><br />
Other earlier milestones (some official, some not so much) included the creation of the Boreal Army and a badge which much of Tir Mara rallied behind, the Northern Shores Warcamp in Lyndhaven and eventually the Aurora Borealis Newsletter, Nothern Shores website with a full list of deputy officers, the Northern Shores Royal Travel Fund and a push further for a Principality! Most of this time being under Aetheric Lindenerende who was the Deputy Kingdom seneschal for the Northern Shores District and then late the Northern Shores Region Seneschal through the first months of the new Crown Principality of Tir Mara, who announced on March 2nd of 2009, that on the previous Saturday (March 7th, 2009), at the "Market Day at Birka" event, "Their Royal Majesties Darius and Alethea accepted the majority will as expressed in the recent status polling and created the new Crown Principality of the Northern Shores. It was noted that it is created with the intent of working towards full principality status." Saturday, January 31st, will mark the 10th anniversary of this occasion. <br />

Before the Crown Principality, we had a Northern Region that was made up both American and Canadian land, however it was later recognized, by many, that the Canadian groups (made up of Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador) had their own separate needs that were better dealt with by having separate Canadian deputies. Because of this, in 1999, the formation of a new District was discussed and before the end of the year of 2000, the Northern Shores was now a District of the Northern Region.<br />
<br />
By April of 2001, it was announced that the Northern Shores would now be recognized as a region within the East Kingdom. The big news with this is that the new region will get to share in the rotation of Spring Crown Tournaments. Before this point, they were considered part of the Northern Region rotation. <br /><br />
Spring Crown Tournament, which is held on the first Saturday in May and, if necessary, the last Saturday in April rotated through the Northern Shores Region every two years with the first one being held in this new rotation was in the then, Shire of L'ile du Dragon Dormant in May of 2002. From here, just as the event is rotated through the East Kingdom, it was also rotated through the Region as it is today through the Crown Principality allowing groups to put in bids is they are capable of holding it, or if not, passing it on to another group giving preference to one that has not held it (or held it recently). <br /><br />
Since the time of being a District, the group had already begun having Northern Shores tournaments of Arms which then expanded into Regional competitions for A&S, Archery and Rapier which also were organized in a rotation between the groups. <br /><br />
Other earlier milestones (some official, some not so much) included the creation of the Boreal Army and a badge which much of Tir Mara rallied behind, the Northern Shores Warcamp in Lyndhaven and eventually the Aurora Borealis Newsletter, Nothern Shores website with a full list of deputy officers, the Northern Shores Royal Travel Fund and a push further for a Principality! Most of this time being under Aetheric Lindenerende who was the Deputy Kingdom seneschal for the Northern Shores District and then late the Northern Shores Region Seneschal through the first months of the new Crown Principality of Tir Mara and then followed by his former Deputy, Gwenhwyfar Dinas Emrys, then Cristiana ingen Mec-Bead and Alessandra Francesca di Milano.<br />

== Description ==<br />
The Crown Principality of Tir Mara comprises all of the Canadian lands within the borders of the Kingdom of the East. This area is vast, making up around four fifths of the land of the kingdom. As of this writing in AS 48, this territory is still a Crown Principality, with the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of the East being also the Prince and Princess of Tir Mara, until They have found Their heirs.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Before the Crown Principality, we had a Northern Region that was made up both American and Canadian land, however it was later recognized, by many, that the Canadian groups (made up of Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador) had their own separate needs that were better dealt with by having separate Canadian deputies.

The Shire of Lyndhaven is the "hinge" shire in the Crown Principality of [[Tir Mara]]. Located between the shire of [[Avonmore]] and the barony of [[Havre des Glaces]], and beside the shire of Smithwick in the Northern Region. Lyndhaven is a physically large shire, taking almost three hours to drive from the Avonmore border to [[Smithwick]] (Northern Region), and over four hours to drive from the southern city of Saint John to the edge of Havre des Glaces. Our population is mostly found within and around the communities of Woodstock, Fredericton, and Saint John with several members in the northern reaches.<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
''Meaning'': The Linden Tree was adopted as our shire's tree to shelter the populace when our stately Elms started dying from a mysterious illness.<br />
<br />
''Established'': August 1991 (However, the first meeting for the shire took place in September of 1986)<br />
<br />
''Blazon'': Argent, three bendlets wavy azure and overall a laurel wreath vert.<br />
