Introduction

Marjorie Parmentar, as Bronwyn from Shrewsbury, attended her first events in the 1980's. The love of The Game did not blossom at that time and she moved on to other things. She found the SCA again in 2012 at a Renaissance Fair held at a local cathedral. Her first event was Bjorn's Celidh of that year. She soon found a place and a new group of friends at the weekly dance practice. Dancing is still one of her loves, as is Bardic (but please don't ask her to sing!). She is proud to be an Apprentice of Baroness Ose Silverhair, OL, with a focus on clothing construction and patterning.

Persona

Marjorie was born in the glorious Duchy of Aquitaine in the year of our Lord 1140.

The following was an entry in a Baronial A&S Competition that focused on an item used or cherished by your Persona. The item in question is a small bottle of sand from the Holy Land Marjorie wears on her belt along with the cross also mentioned.

The fire crackles, shifting shadows across my handwork. I lay it down on the basket at my side and adjust my cloak around my shoulders. My, but it’s a damp, cold Spring day. As I move, firelight glints off of metal and glass in my lap. Oh, Papa. Picking up the very small, wire-wrapped bottle that hangs from my belt, I reminisce.

My family has a history of fighting in the Holy Wars meant to take back the Holy Land from the infidels. It began with my grandpère, a large man with sparse white hair when I knew him, who fought in the first of these wars when he was a much younger man. He survived, and brought back with him a small cross he carved out of olive wood, thus establishing two traditions. Fighting in the wars, and bringing something back from the Holy Land. Papa, inspired by Grandpère’s stories (Grandpère had a bit of the bard in him), gladly answered when Pope Eugene III announced the second of the Holy Wars. I was but five years old then, yet I remember Papa riding off to join with up with the other chevaliers fighting for our very own Duchess, Eleanor, she who was king Louis VII’s magnificent queen. The colors, the happy cheering, and Papa’s scratchy beard on my cheek as we shared our last kiss. Grandpère’s stories, for he was there also as one of Eleanor’s advisors, and this bottle of land from Jerusalem itself, is all I have of Papa. He did not make it back. Whenever I tell one of Grandpère’s stories, I always end it with these two lines, "I was told this by my grandpère. This is how I know my papa."
