Introduction

Magister Galefridus Peregrinus lives in the Barony of Settmour Swamp and has been in SCA since 2003. Previously protégé to Baronne Jehannine de Flandres, he was elevated to the Pelican at River Wars in September A.S. XLVIII (2013) and to the Laurel at Mudthaw in March A.S. LII (2018).

Persona

Magister Galefridus is one of the masters at the relatively newly formed University at Cantebrigge, where he teaches the newer practices of medicine as brought to England by soldiers returning from Crusade in the Mussulman lands. Magister Galefridus occasionally visits a Far Eastern island nation, where he is known as Taguchi Moronaga.

Preferred titles and pronouns

I’m OK with “Master Galefridus,” but I prefer “Magister Galefridus.”

Please use standard English masculine pronouns (he/him/his).
