Drake Oranwood joined the SCA from 1991-1993, then drifted away.  He dove back in fully starting in 2011, after having attended a few Pennsics and other events with his wife, Lady [[Jessa de Hunteleghe]].  Really, once he wrote his first bardic song in 2004, though, it was probably inevitable.  He resides in the Shire of [[Rusted Woodlands]], but is often found playing in the Barony of [[Concordia of the Snows]] among their bardic community. Drake is currently a student of Mistress [http://tilted-windmill.com/midbards/bards.html#59 Sofia "Zsof" Tyzes] of the Midrealm, and studied previously under Maistre [[Lucien de Pontivy]] of the East Kingdom.

Drake Oranwood is an English composer and musician in the Elizabethan era. He has spent time in Scotland, where he became enamored of tales of the Fae, and has traveled in Europe as well. When he is at home in London or interacting with patrons in Elizabeth's court, he is careful to maintain the secrecy of his Jewish descent. His skills include singing, songwriting, poetry, storytelling, and the lute.


It is rumored that he has been out of England as much as he has due to his family's Yorkist sympathies, which have cost him favor in the Tudor court.
