Introduction

Sabine de Kerbriant (formerly Sabine Kerbriant de Lanvaux) first found the SCA in 1993, accidentally drawn in by the siren call of a friend saying "Hey, someone's dragging me to this weird dance practice thing and I want you to come too!" Her primary interests are music, poetry and literature, manuscripts and early printed books, commedia dell'arte, dance, and archery, but she can easily be distracted by any interesting medieval or Renaissance art form, especially the tasty ones; she is particularly fond of all things French. Sabine served as a baronial officer of one sort or another from 1995 through 2013 (including a five-year tenure as Baroness of Bhakail), has been director of the Bhakaili Branslers since 2007, and enjoys calling herself patroness of the commedia troupe I Zanni Illuminati. In the past she dabbled in a variety of classic SCAdian activities including heavy weapons fighting, fencing, and embroidery, and learned not to mess with anything involving sharp points and/or long strings.

Persona-wise, Sabine comes from minor Breton nobility somewhere vaguely circa 1300. She was fostered in a Parisian branch of the family, eventually becoming a lady-in-waiting to Dorren of Ashwell, an English baroness on pilgrimage. She spent some time receiving musical tutelage from first Maitresse Linette de Gallardon and then Magistra Rufina Cambrensis; more recent escapades are entirely her own fault and should not be blamed on any reputable musicians. Her favored musical instruments include rauschpfeife, crumhorn, recorder, and transverse flute.

Sabine is married to Baron Nissim aven Darmon, called Darmon; their daughter Mina, born in 2007, was known as the Marquesa of Black Icorndall from 2008-2013. She and her family are members of Dar Nafoura Hajjar (House of the Stone Fountain).
