Baron Ragnulfr Ornolfson (Paul Padgett)

Baron Ragnulfr 'Boarsmoker' Ornolfson is a late-century Viking persona. He gets his nickname from his love of BBQ and smoking anything, but especially pork. His colors are red, blue, and yellow and his main symbol is a red boar. He has no dietary restrictions and will eat almost anything presented to him in which he did not have to cook himself. He especially loves fruits such as cherries or grapes and any kind of smoked or grilled meat. He has a sweet tooth (not for candy) and loves baked treats, especially with lemon. The Baron's drink of choice is Sweet Tea or green tea, though he starts his day with coffee and Silk Creamer. Alcoholic beverages are enjoyed as well but in limited amounts. His preference is sweet meads and ciders.

Baroness Freydis Rodmarsdottir (Felicia Padgett)

Baroness Freydis Rodmarsdottir is a Viking persona and loves all things Viking culture. Her colors are red, yellow, and silver, and her symbol is a silver wolf. She often can be found with her wolf skin around her shoulders or her waist. She, like her husband, has no dietary restrictions, but a deep and abiding love for any kind of Hispanic food. We will start with tacos being the perfect food and move up from there. She also enjoys simpler food such as cheese and herbed bread. Freydis loves her sweets as well but prefers pastries or cakes with cinnamon and nuts. The Baroness' choice of drink is Dr. Pepper Zero. She has yet to find a flavor choice she doesn't like. She has almost the same view on whiskey but draws that line at apple whiskey being too sweet. Her favorite flavors are vanilla Dr. Pepper Zero and Maple Whiskey. She likes sweet to semi-sweet meads, wines, and ciders as well.

Seneschal: Lord Ivan Mezey (Ian Bell)

My name is part of my Hungarian persona which is late 1500. I used to be known as Die Fledermaus (maus) and still prefer to answer too that name. I have been in the SCA for about 30 years. I have been a rapier fighter since my early years in the SCA. In the past 10 years I have moved away from just rapier fighting and picked up the saber and long sword. I love to teach/learn saber and long sword techniques. I have multiple awards from my time in the SCA I also have an interest in Horology as it applies to wheeled clocks starting in the 14th century. As well as early pocket watches. I have recently gone down the rabbit hole studying Hungarian garments of the late 1500s. This has me taking up the needle and thread again.
