Dagrún Stjarna is a fictional character in the Society of Creative Anachronism. She was born in Iceland in 920 C.E. to her father Hrafn and mother Dagný. Her brother Hrafnkell was born first in 915. They arrived in Iceland in the year 910 C.E. and started their household. Within the Society of Creative Anachronism, Dagrún Stjarna is know by her byname of Stjarna, meaning “Star” in Icelandic. She began her journey on July 15, 1994 by being invited to her first event, July Coronation 1994, AS XXIX. At this event, Styrkarr Jarlsskald won the Squires Tourney and the Chivalry Prize and gave her the Chivalry prize to thank her for inspiring him on the field. At this event, Rorik Gunnarson and Berengaria de Montfort of Carcassone were crowned King and Queen of An Tir. They put Styrkarr on vigil for Knighthood. September Crown, he became a Knight of An Tir with Stjarna by his side. Stjarna stepped up as Baroness of Wastekeep with Styrkarr at July Coronation 2008. She served 6 years also taking on other offices when the Barony was in need. Her main focus during her time as Baroness was building up the Sergeantry of Wastekeep. At July Coronation 2014, Styrkarr crowned Stjarna a Queen of An Tir. Her love of dance inspired the Kingdom to host balls for each of the events She attended. She became a Countess of An Tir at 12th Night 2015. At September Crown 2016, Styrkarr won the Crown Tournament of An Tir and again placed Stjarna on the thrones of An Tir at 12th Night 2017. At July Coronation 2017, Stjarna was made a Duchess of An Tir.

I record this so that you understand my beginnings within the Society and major landmarks within the Society that led up to me being a Duchess of An Tir. I have been happy to share this journey with my husband, Styrkarr Jarlsskald and my four children, Dagny, Svana, Beren and Thorin. Written March 2018.
