Introduction
Martyn first got involved in the SCA in 2006 after being approached by several SCA members while selling hats he had made at the PA Renaissance Faire. He attended a Bhakail Business Meeting first, followed by local practices, workshops, and gatherings. His first proper local event was Noisemakers II in February 2007, and his first Pennsic was Pennsic War XXXVI (2007). He currently resides in the Bailiwick of Ivyeinrust in the Barony of Bhakail, where he is an active member. He volunteers his time at events, cooks, brews, and works on his skills as an artisan and musician.
Persona
- Lord Martyn de Halliwell was born into a minor Breton noble family living in Richmond, North Yorkshire, England in the 14th century. During his youth he traveled extensively with both of his grandfathers (one a well-known diplomat and merchant, the other a successful military commander), having extensive stays in London, Paris, Rome, Constantinople, and Cologne. He now travels to further secure his family’s business and political interests, maintaining residences in London, Bruges, and Genoa.
- Lord Thomas Martyn Halliwell primarily lives in 16th century London and can be found perusing the libraries, churches, and associating with the musicians of the Court of the Tudor monarchs. He has also found recent success with patronages in the Court of HRE Charles V in Flanders.
