Persona:

Angharat verch Reynulf is a Welsh Border Marcher living in between Hay-on-Wye and Builth Castle in the 1340's. She is the Chatelaine for her brother's holdings, as well as caring for a hyfod and manor as her own holdings as a widow.

Societal/Known World Highlights:

Angharat first began playing in the early 1980's in Dragon's Laire, first as a male Welsh fighter Llewellyn with her brother Drakkus Blackrogue. From seeing Glamfolk members putting up signs for June Faire and sneaking out to check it out, enjoying the fighting as well as calligraphy - even getting her non-SCA friendly mother to pay for calligraphy lessons for the rest of the year under the guise of bettering her handwriting, and helping Owen O'Niall from time to time in his merchant booth or volunteering with constabulary in the late nights and waterbearing or heraldry during the day-she enjoyed it all.

Other persona's played with in the 1980's included Aelfreda Wulfe O'Niall, an early Norse persona, and a Byzantine persona, inspired by family history, silhouettes of clothing styles, or people who inspired me to keep trying and playing.

After a brief break due to a family issues, she began to play again in 1994 with her newborn son, starting back out with a Welsh persona - Bleiddwen segued to Angharat and more research to try and learn/portray the 1340's Welsh styles and cultures, while continuing to quietly volunteer, but having moved to Blatha an Oir.

After beginning to officially hold baronial offices in 2001 as Herald, Angharat began to receive baronial and kingdom awards.
