Sir Timothy Garagchan o’Leitrim
“Sir Garrahan” Tim Moran
Legendary individuals crowd Pennsic this year, but only one can lay claim to having fought in heavy combat at every Pennsic War. Baron Foscadh O’Dubhda, OP, of the Middle Kingdom, reminisced about his long experience during a sunny day of Peace Week from his camp overlooking the northwest corner of the battlefield.

In spite of the drizzly rain, 22 Fencers from 6 Kingdoms turned out for the By the Book Tourney, which showcases period rapier styles. Eight styles were represented: Fabris, I33, Talhoffer, Marrozo, Caranza, Meyer, d’All’Agocchie, and Cavendish.

The rain and thunder threatened, but were no match for the collective will of the Heavy fighters taking the field for the Bridge Battles. As dawn graced the fields below Mount Eislinn, the results of the Battlefield coordination team could be seen with five bridges in the open field. The test of mettle for the day would be five rounds of five bridges. The battles went quick—15 minutes to a battle and 10 to 15 minutes between each of the five battles.

It’s hard to talk about Pennsic’s long and storied history without one name coming to mind: Duke Sir Cariadoc of the Bow. A triple peer and a duke, many think of him as a legendary figure of the SCA. He has lived in multiple kingdoms, he is a talented bard and teacher, and he was there when Pennsic began.
Cariadoc has noted some changes that have taken place over the years.
