Introduction

Lady Sigridh Bengtsdotter

After several years of joking that she was SCA by marriage, Sigridh decided to join the fun and become involved on a regular basis. Upon Joining the SCA she promptly fell in love with the fiber arts, especially weaving and Temari. Mundanely known as Kirsten Becker, she is the Director of Churchville Nature Center and married to Raymond Becker know in the society as THL Aurddeilen-ap-Robet.

Persona

Swedish Viking

I chose the name Sigridh simply because I liked it, but Bengtsdotter has a special meaning for me. My maiden name is Benson and when my great-grandparents came from Sweden to the United States their last name was actually Bengtsson. So when I found Bengt on a period name I was pleased that I could honor my family by using the SCA surname of Bengtsdotter
