Caitrina inghean Aindriasa
Caitrina inghean Aindriasa, (ka-TREE-na in-yen ahn-DRAH-sha) was born in Inverness Scotland in the year 1273. She had one sibling, a brother named Cairbre MacAnndra (MacAnndra meaning son of Andrew)... Unfortunately Cairbre perished in a guerrilla raid against English officials while travelling to Avoch castle so that he could join Andrew de Moray in the uprising against the English in 1297.
The real story... In 2003 she began a relationship with her long lost friend Uilliam who was telling her of this group he belonged to and wanted to see if she would be interested in checking it out. He said, "There's something in the SCA for everyone, no matter what your interest is.". She told him of her fascination with coats of arms. He clapped his hands together and let out an evil laugh... the rest as they say... is history.
On July 21, AS 47 (2012 CE), Caitrina was admitted into the Order of the Pelican.
On the 30th of November, AS 48 (CE 2013), Uilliam and Caitrina were invested as the 5th Baron and Baroness of Lions Gate.
Caitrina is married to Uilliam mac Fearchair mhic Gille Aindrias.
