''Bantiarna'' Shannon inghean Bhriain uí Dhuilleáin, pleased to meet you! My very first event was NRWC in July 2000, after which I promptly lost track of the SCA for nearly four years. I rediscovered it after I was discharged from the Army in the Barony of Western Seas, Caid (Hawaii). I have since lived and played in four kingdoms (Caid, Atlantia, West and East). Yep, that's Snoopy on my arms! The blazon is simply a white dog's head, cut off at the neck. It's not breed-specific, so I take artistic liberties. And yes, it is rendered thus on my AoA scroll. :-)

== Persona ==
Unto all nobles and gentles to whom these present letters come, greetings! Tis I, ''Bantiarna'' Shannon inghaen Bhriain ui Dhuilleain. I am a young noblewoman of fifteenth century Ireland. My father, ''Tiarna'' Bhrian O Dhuilleain, heads a small, prosperous household with my mother, ''Bantiarna'' Anlaith ingen Taidc, in the earldom of Kildare.
15th c. Irish noblewoman (who greatly fancies Viking attire!)
 
The youngest of their seven children and the only girl, I was born on the seventeenth day of May in the year 1460. My father, a free man, was quite loyal to Thomas Fitzgerald Earl Kildare, who became Lord Deputy Thomas when I was eleven years of age. As a girl, I loved to ride the horses of the estate across the rolling green fields. I received a noble's education growing up - I am literate, and I can speak English in addition to my own native Gaelic. In addition, I learned many things a woman is supposed to know - sewing and embroidery, knitting, and cooking, running a household. Most of these lessons seemed superfluous to me, since the house was always abuzz with servants doing all but the last of these very tasks for us.
 
Lord Deputy Thomas' son Garret was only a few years my senior, and I fancied him greatly, despite knowledge that if he did marry, it would be for the good of the land and the advancement of his clan - neither of which he would achieve by choosing me. By the time Garret took his father's place, I was seventeen years old and I had all but forgotten my infatuation with him, as I had fallen head-over-heels for a mysterious fellow of eastern lineage who sporadically passed in and out of my life as his travels and my own caused us to cross paths many a time. This displeased my father, who wanted nothing more than to see me settled down and married to a good Irishman.
 
((Work-in-progress ... the "mysterious fellow of eastern lineage" alludes to my ex-husband's persona, so clearly this is in need of some updating!))

Introduction

Bantiarna Shannon inghean Bhriain uí Dhuilleáin, pleased to meet you! My very first event was NRWC in July 2000, after which I promptly lost track of the SCA for nearly four years. I rediscovered it after I was discharged from the Army in the Barony of Western Seas, Caid (Hawaii). I have since lived and played in four kingdoms (Caid, Atlantia, West and East). Yep, that's Snoopy on my arms! The blazon is simply a white dog's head, cut off at the neck. It's not breed-specific, so I take artistic liberties. And yes, it is rendered thus on my AoA scroll. :-)

I am a member of House Rosegate and protege to Mistress Arianna Morgan (Atlantia).

Persona

15th c. Irish noblewoman (who greatly fancies Viking attire!)

In Case of Court

  • Please contact my husband. He wants to be there! And he has answers to most questions you may have. In case of Peerage, please also contact my Pelican, Mistress Arianna Morgan (Atlantia).
  • For events outside of Concordia, please summon me in advance or use a writ. I work most weekends, but with advance notice I can usually arrange the day off. No summons are needed for events in Concordia--I'll be behind the Baronial thrones as Herald.
  • Scroll Preferences: Any size scroll is great -- wall space is not an issue! I love Celtic knotwork. I prefer a palette of green, blue, black, and silver/white. I am not at all fond of pink.
