Introduction

I am L. Severin Schröder, was formally known as Severin Festschdermacher and also Labhruinn MacMhikiel, where most called me the familiar name of Larry. I have been playing the SCA game since 1990. My interests are very varied, some with just an interest without getting too deep into, while others, I go into that pool head long, and neck deep. Mostly, I am a costumer and a cook. Over the years, I've held a few officer positions in both the Barony Beyond the Mountain (BBM), one of it's territories, the Canton of Fennbrycg, and as Southern Region (NJ, NYC, LI) Deputy Exchequer.

Persona

My original Persona {Labhruinn MacMhikiel} was a lowland Celt of Scots Irish mixed heritage, making his living as a simple tunic maker and merchant. One day, I came to the aid of a young lady and her son, from a French province, we took up residence in Stafford-shire, where we wed and moved to Manchester. To help make ends meet, I became a costumer for a few traveling players.

Over the years, my persona advanced along with my tailoring abilities and a new found interest as a Feast Cook. I now am, a late period Chef and a Tailor of German - Irish descent {L. Severin Schröder}. To keep my skills honed, so to speak, I farm myself out to my Barony, and the surrounding Baronies, as an assistant to their cooks. I can be found among the Baronial and East Kingdom Order of Precedence (listed below) under Severin Festschdermacher (AKA) Labhruinn MacMhikiel.

Growth

Apprenticed to Countess Morgen DuVal (after she stepped down from her and Bjorn's reign 10/5/1996. Do to life's many ebbs and flows, my Laurel is unable to play as often as she would like. I was given the choice to dissolve the ties, or stay and work as a student to other Peers. The answer to that question is different for all, my answer was to stay tied to her, and seek out others for knowledge and experience, until I am able to connect with another Laurel. I have had the pleasure to continue my learning from many Laurels and Pelicans from the East Kingdom.

September 2020, I entered into a student relationship with Mistress Chiaretta Di Fiore. Countess Morgen released me from my responsibilities to her, giving me her best, as I continue my journey forward.

Apprenticed Saturday September 3rd, 2022, I was offered and accepted to take that step from student to apprenticeship with Mistress Chiaretta Di Fiore, whom was apprenticed to Countess Vienna de la mer. I am excited for this new step, in my SCA carrier.

Belting Ceremony 29th of April, A.S. LVII, the formal receiving of THE GREEN BELT OF APPRENTICE, was performed in front of a group of close friends. The belt was made from cabbage left overs from Mistress Chiaretta's Laurel Cloak. Made in the style of late periods belts, it also includes a custom made fox broach, a major emblem or part, of Mistress Chiaretta's device. The sentiment and honor to receive this belt is beyond even my words. I have promised to endeavor to do and become my best artisan, I can be.

At Consort's and Sovereign's Archery Championships May 19th - 21st, 2023, I asked Master Aleksei Dmitriev if he would guide me, along with my Laurel Mistress Chiaretta in my quest to better myself, as an SCA Artisan. We agreed via a handshake.

Protégé Master Aleksei asked if I was willing to take the step from being his pupil, to being his Protégé. With an Russian embrace and handshake, we made an accord. At Bergental/BBM Yule this was made public where I had been tasked to create a favor to wear as an outward symbol of our relationship.

ICOC Letter

Being surprised for a visit to their Majesties' , Highness', or Baron's court is how I have known things to be done in the East Kingdom. I love to see the look on others' face, and I believe mine would be no different. Most times, I will be found in the kitchen, please take this into account on being heralded into court.
