Mergret Dyer

My persona was born in the second year of the reign of King Henry VIII in 1528. I was the daughter of a man whom was a weaver for Lord Campden of Chipping Campden, Glouchestershire, England. Chipping Campden is set on the edge of the Cotswolds in a gentle valley, amid rolling hills, verdant pastures with grazing sheep as far as the eye can see. You would enjoy St. James church which was completed in 1500 with the creation of its 120-foot pinnacled tower, a landmark for miles around.

It was not uncommon for Lords of large estates to have their personal weavers on the land. One day on my way hauling a cartload of raw wool from the sheep fold of the manor to my fathers shoppe, a young lord had his way with me, I became with child and I ran away to prevent disgrace falling upon my family. In time my young daughter Bridgit the Younger was born.



The A&S 50 Challenge involves doing 50 things in the Arts and Sciences between May 1st AS 42/2007 and May 1st AS 50/2015, in honor of the SCA's 50th Birthday . The Challenge is a chance to develop skills and learn more about what interests you. There are Three Kinds of Challenges:

The Depth Challenge - 50 of any one type of thing, in order to push your skills and knowledge to new levels The Breadth Challenge - Do/make/learn 50 new and different things The Persona Challenge - Making/learning 50 different things that your persona would know, have, or know how to do

After much thought, I have chosen to undertake a blend of all three Challenges for myself and I chose to do 2 of each letter of the alphabet, minus "Z" twice as it was difficult to find one, let alone two. I also will document each endeavor.
