I am Martelle von Charlottenburg, 5th Baroness of the Bright Hills. In the SCA, landed Barons hold territory for their Sovereigns; these Barons administer the Crown’s justice and serve as Their Majesties’ eyes and ears. In return for this Honor, I am sworn to provide the Crown with counsel; to muster fighters for war; and to encourage the arts and sciences. As representative of the King and Queen of Atlantia I am expected to act with Honor, Chivalry and Courtesy, and I have a responsibility to report to Their Majesties the deeds of Their subjects that are deserving of acknowledgement or reward. If you would like to talk with me in person, I can be found at the monthly business meeting, or at Friday night fighter practice/A&S night, unless I am traveling to a distant event. My Progress (travel schedule) is published monthly in the Baronial newsletter, The Yeoman. When I am attending out-of-barony events I set up a pavilion or day shade and invite all members of the Barony to take their ease with me.

In Service to Atlantia and the Barony of the Bright Hills,

Martelle,
Baroness of the Bright Hills
