The Iron Ring is a household which re-creates the look and feel of a mercenary unit that would have existed between 1550 and 1600 in northern Italy and southern Germany.
Members of the Iron Ring live primarily in the Portland metro area.
Mission Statement
The Iron Ring (also referred to as “the Unit”) is a cooperative group of individuals, devoted to the reenactment of pre-1600AD life, as defined by the Society for Creative Anachronism. The Iron Ring intends to maintain a presence at events sanctioned by the SCA as well as events that may fall outside of the society.
Specifically, the Iron Ring seeks to re-create the look and feel of a mercenary unit which would have existed between 1550 and 1600.
Members of the Iron Ring are highly encouraged to foster an attitude of cooperation between each other and also members of the re-enactment community at large. We shall lead by positive example and follow by the positive example of others.
As a group dedicated to re-enacting a mercenary unit, the Iron Ring encourages study of armed and armored combat by its members, and seeks to participate in activities including but not limited to SCA armored combat, target archery and “boffer” foam weapon combat.
Rules and Regulations
The Iron Ring is governed by a charter encompassing its rules and regulations, as ratified by the members of the Iron Ring in 2007. In general, all decisions are made by a simple majority of the officers of the Iron Ring (for matters such as use of funds and member disputes) or by a 3/4 majority of the members of the Iron Ring.
Recruiting
In order to become a member of the Iron Ring, an interested party must secure a member as sponsor and two more members to act as advocates. After being recorded by the Master or Mistress of Recruiting (currently Daesgasage Runne) the new recruit must attend 2 camping events with the Iron Ring and 5 non-camping functions (such as fight practices, workshops, etc.). Once these prerequisites are met, the members take a vote at the next meeting to decide whether to welcome the recruit as a new member, continue as a recruit (in the case that not enough members feel they know the recruit sufficiently), or end their recruitment and affiliation with the Iron Ring.

The Iron Ring is structured in a military hierarchy. The command structure is as follows:
