Founding History
On August 12, 1990 the Populace of the Incipient Shire of Rosenfeld submitted a letter and petition to the SCA College of Arms with both Name and Device Submission Forms attached. The Seneschal at that time was Lady Fridhur Haralds, now Mistress Livia da Nicolosi. Lord Harald One-Eye was the Deputy Knight Marshal, and one “Brother Randulphus Hereticus” (who is believed to be one and the same as Lord Randwulf the Hermit) signed as Rosenfeld Pursuivant.
In February of 1991 the branch-name for the Shire of Rosenfeld was officially registered with the SCA College of Arms. According to the original Name Submission form retrieved from the Archivist Herald's files, the "Name was chosen because Tyler, Texas claims to be America's Largest exporter of cut roses and nursery-grown rose bushes. (The) largest single industry in Smith County is Nursery Agriculture." The name Rosenfeld is German in origin, meaning "Field of Roses.”
Lord Randwulf the Hermit is indicated as the "Local Officer of Arms" on a Device Submission Form dated November 30, 1990. Interestingly, the form indicates that this was a RE-submission, with the prior submission (from August) having been returned because the laurel wreath was originally vert (green). This put the device into conflict with the Arms of the SCA itself. So, the laurel wreath was changed to azure (blue) when resubmitted which made the device different enough to be registered.
A copy of the Board of Directors Meeting Minutes from June 24, 1991 records a change of status for the Shire of Rosenfeld as having been effective the month prior - May 1991.

Excerpt from the November 2011 issue of The Thorny Truth; closing lines of the missive from (then) MoAS Lady Emma Farewyll.
Let the Festival Begin
‘Tis the company… our populace fair and noble.
‘Tis our Rosenfeld… gentles good of heart - lacking bitterness or envy,
Steadfast in word and deed, ever of service one to the other,
Clothed in raiment of honesty - dissembling not,
Skilled hands opened to teach and with humility
Serve our society for the joy of it,
In no way lacking a community of talents
Contriving to gratify perfection in art and in conduct.
Yea Rosenfeld… thou are a treasure… so attracting that it cannot be denied…
Let the festival begin…we shall meet there anon!
