Happy SCA New Year! It’s Anno Societatis L (or A.S. 50).
On a day of new beginnings, with a new SCA year starting and the historic elevation of Duchess Dorinda Courtenay as Æthelmearc’s first Master of Defense taking place tonight, it seems like a fine time to look back at where the SCA began.
You can go to the West Kingdom website for an account of the first tournament, which took place on May 1, 1966.

Have a great new year, everyone!
