History

General History

Wyewood was founded in A.S. XXIX (1994-1995) as a canton of Madrone. (The document naming Wyewood an official canton is a lovely illuminated scroll which may be seen here.) The original name of the canton was Wyebridge, but that name did not pass muster with the College of Arms as it was found to conflict with the real-world name Weybridge. So Wyewood was submitted as an alternate name, which did pass.

Wyewood became a Shire during the reign of King Davin and Queen Groa at Lionhearts Tourney in A.S. XXXVI (2001). Upon the elevation of the branch to shire, Earl Edward Cire of Greymoor and Countess Elisabeth de Rossignol served as Royal Patrons of the shire for six years.

Bubba, the mascot of Wyewood (and Wyewood's populace badge)

The mascot of Wyewood is Bubba, the winged hamster. See the canton of Porte de l'Eau for more information on Bubba.

On the 2nd of March XLVII, Wyewood was elevated to a Barony by King UlfR and Queen Caoimhe. Master Robert de la Trinitie and Lady Gabrielle Lepinay were invested as the founding Baron and Baroness.
