Views/articles of Master Arenwald von Hagenburg (OL,GoA,LOG,ORL,AoA)

A brief overview of my SCA and fencing credentials, for those who care. Awards are listed above, for those who care..... I served as West Kingdom Rapier Marshal between around mid 1998 to the middle of 2000. This period saw the development of a Guild of Rapier in the West, and granting of a GoA level award to Rapier practitioners in the West together with the title Guild Master of Fence, (the alternate title "Courtier of the West" was introduced in 2000 as a part of the rule revisions of Michael of Castle Keep) my successor. These documents might be of historical interest to those wishing to know about the history of Rapier combat in the West Kingdom.

Below are links to a range of historical documents related to the re-establishment of rapier in the West after the ban of Jade in 1998. There is also a brief precis of my views on the future and development of fencing within the context of the West Kingdom. I am, of course, foremost a citizen of Lochac and so you might excuse any Lochac centric views that are become evident.

Since late 1999 I have been a resident of Sweden, and a citizen of Dranchenwald, where I have not been greatly involved in Rapier. For more information on Rapier in Drachenwald the page to see is listed below.
