I found the SCA in 1982 in the Kingdom of CAID.  My initial name was Erika of the Blue Rose. I didn't know then what I know now, obviously, as that name proved to not be period and I decided not to be Norse.  So after playing on and off for a while, I resurrected myself as Anne Brynley, an Irish lass and joined the Barony of Tarnmist in the West. I held offices of Webminister and Chronicler, received an Award of Arms in 2002, Tortuga award (Baronial Service Award) in 2004 and a Leaf of Merit in 2004. I was also nominated for a Black Fox award in AS 39 for The Mermaid's Tale, Tarnmist's Newsletter.  I moved to the Kingdom of An Tir in 2005 and joined the Barony of Dragon's Laire and quickly went to work serving my new Barony.  After years and years of being a seamstress, I discovered the scribal arts in 2006 and have been pointed in that direction ever since.  I received a Goutte de Sang in 2007 and currently am the Guildmistress for the Dragon's Laire Scribal Guild.

My persona has changed a number of times but the past few years I have been a French woman from the early 1400s.  I was living near Agincourt and my husband was killed in the battle.  An English soldier, Oliver Tarney, took pity on me and after gathering up my belongings, found a way to bring me back to England.  We married and although I long for my homeland of France, I have learned to bring it to me in other ways.

The Clan MacThoy originated at the Egil Skallagrimsson Memorial Tournament in May 1995. A group of individuals from Lyonsmarche (Moscow, ID) were meeting up with a variety of people at the event. (McGurns?) It was decided to come up with a collective name for ourselves for the weekend. The name is literally "troubles or troublemakers" in ancient Greek, which also sounded Scottish, thus the name was born.

For 15 years we have been based in the northern Idaho college town, and as is the nature of college towns, people move on, and thus there are now "MacThoy's" all over the world. The vast majority still reside in the PNW. We gather once a year for the Celtic Revolt and the folks of Wealdsmere are infinitely patient with having 35 anarchists crash thier party every year.
