Introduction

Title Name. SCA Biography. Selected Awards (the Wiki is not the place to do a full awards list). Brian of Stonemarche is Brian Chabot in mundane life and has been active in the SCA since October 2002. He was drawn to the SCA following the passing of Earl Ælfwine Dunedain. Brian is a rapier marshal and two time Baronessa's Rapier Champion in the Barony of Stonemarche. He runs both the only regularly occurring official rapier practice in Stonemarche and has and still does run un-official gatherings of fencers since 2005 or so.

Personae

16th c. English (ca. 1590's)

Brian of Stonemarche is an English Merchant Adventurer from London, who practices Rapier & Dagger in the English Style. While his fighting is English, he has a penchant for Italian clothing styles. By trade, he is a merchant, with a love of travel and meeting new people and bringing home rare and exotic goods to sell in London. Business is good and he may be in the market to outfit a small fleet...

11th c. Saxon (ca. 1090's)

Brian of Stonemarche was born to a family of traders from the Liverpool area with strong ties to Ireland. His parents & grandparents survived Williem's invasion by being decidedly neutral. If you wanted to do business, that was fine. Brian runs a booming import export business sometimes traveling with groups of Crusaders to locate rare spices and other goods from the Mediterranean region.

Late 14th c. to Early 15th c.

(Concept in progress. Western Europe, circa 1380-1420.)
