Introduction

Bess Brechin lived in Caledonia in the kingdom of Circinn in the reign of Talorc mac Achiuir in 401 AD.

First SCA event attended was Panteria 2015.

Persona

Though a peaceful farmer, the repeated incursions of the Romans caused Bess, like many of the other Picts, to respond with force. The Picts had learned that pitched engagements against the Legions would lead only to defeat so they continued their pattern of guerrilla warfare to stifle and beat back the southern invaders.

With bow and sword, Bess partook of glorious raids to liberate the Romans of life, wealth and cattle. During one raid over Hadrian's Wall, she and her band were able to catch a Roman auxiliary troop separated from the rest of their Legion and the protection of their forts. The battle was fierce and bloody. In the end, the Picts captured a goodly supply of arms and armor as well as a sizeable herd of cattle.

Knowing now that it was best to engage the Romans at a distance and from hiding, Bess' raids became increasingly more daring and vicious. The plunder taken from the Romans would make Bess one of the most prosperous and respected members of her tribe. Her roundhouse became a meeting place where raiders would stage and plan their forays south of the wall, looking to Bess for guidance and leadership in the coming battles.
