Introduction

Baroness Mægwynn filia Brun is a member of Duchy Von Drachenklaue and The Company of Dagon Hall, protege to Medhbh inghean ui Cheallaigh OP, and squire to Estgar æt Hrofecaestre. Mægwynn was introduced to the SCA in 2018, and quickly found her stride. She resides in the Central Region, in the Barony of Carolingia, and is an active heavy fighter, service junkie, and fledgling illuminator.

Persona

Mægwynn was born in Jórvík in the early 10th Century, of mixed parentage. She was the daughter of a Northumbrian woman and a Danish man. At her mother’s insistence, her given name was Anglo-Saxon, despite being raised in a Danish household. She also carried the name of her father, Brun, whose coloring she inherited. Mægwynn’s mother died in childbirth while she was still young, and so she was raised predominantly in the Norse traditions, with some Christian influence via her mother’s family. Eventually she met and married a retired Varangian guard, who loved her big heart and fighting spirit.
