Persona History:
Sæbjørn i Eydigardi is a late 11th century Swede, born in Nyköping in the Södermanland region of Sweden. He was born to poor farmers, but built a life for himself as a trader, traveler, warrior, and skald. He travelled heavily through the east – down through the lands of the Rus, to Miklagard (Constantinople), and even spent time in the Abassid Caliphate.
Because there are occasions when he likes to dress in later period clothing, there is an alternate version of Sæbi who lived in the mid-16th century during the Vasa era of Sweden, who is a tradesman and skald with ties and interests to parts of the Holy Roman Empire.
Previous Personas:
Giovanni Antonio di Napoli was a mid-16th century merchant’s son, sailor, and mercenary from Napoli, who owns lands along near Amalfi.
Alaric Gledewyne was a 14th century Welsh minor nobleman and warrior who was present at Crecy and Poitiers.
Interests:
- All combat, but especially rapier
- Voice heraldry
- Bardic
- Cooking
- Brewing
- Scroll painting
- Dance
- Leatherworking
- Service
- General historical research
Timeline of Activity:
Sæbi began playing in the mid-90’s (then as Alaric Gledewyne) after having discovered the SCA at the TRF demos. He greatly enjoyed his time then, playing primarily in the Canton of Gate’s Edge, as well as the Barony of Stargate. His activities were primarily chivalric combat, leatherworking, dance, bardic, and service – but life factors of his first marriage led him to having to walk away from the Dream in early 98.
His love of bardic, and coincidental friendships with active SCA members drew him back to the SCA in fall of 2021 when he began playing again in the Barony of Bryn Gwlad.
Upon Admittance Into the Order of the White Scarf
I wanted to take a moment to share something that really meant alot to me and helped me feel the love from my rather large chosen family. There were many things that moved my about my white scarf ceremony but this is the story of the one that actually really did it and pushed me to tears.
As is sometimes the case when the time came to present the candidate with a scarf, I noticed more than one member of the Order start to try to offer theirs. But there was no need, for one had been prepared, and so many people who are all so very dear to me were involved.
For plans had long been laid in motion. My foster MoD and friend here Maestro Michaelangelo had long since reached out to my MoD back in Ansteorra, and Maestro Diego set about the moment that really moved me to tears. For he had first crafted a fine White Scarf. This was then taken to an event (events?) wherein a number of my dearest friends in the Ansteorran community wore it, enshrined in pictures that were later shared with me.
The Ansteorran “lineage” of my scarf being:
- Maestro Diego Fortuna
- My grand-don Master Caelan MacRob
- Fechtmeister Brian O' hUilliam
- Master Feodor Nikolaevich Gorodets
- Mistress/Countess Elizabeth Caton
- Jarl Floki Geirrekkson
- Master Ulrich Von Tolstat
- Dona Drew Drake
- Don Andsvarr Lorenzoson
- Her Royal Majesty Ansteorra, Dona Vittoria Maggiore
Along the way it also had some special embroidery added by HRM Vittoria as well.
When it was then sent to Michaelangelo it then went on a further journey during the week of Battlemoor wherein it was further worn and images captured of it being donned likewise by so many of my close and dear friends in my new and wonderful community here in the Outlands.
Thereafter it was tied around my arm as the moment that actually moved me to tears in my ceremony.
While I love my life and my new community and chosen family here, I do dearly miss so many of my friends of many years back in Ansteorra. To know that while not able to be present, they were nonetheless able to be a part of my ceremony and to thus send their love and respect my way was what really meant more than I can say. I love all of you!
