Lord James O'Gordon is one of the founders of Dragon's Mist and an early Seneschal of that shire.
When he was active it was customary for the O'Gordon household to hold an annual revel for the shire - the O'Gordon Revel. Those of us who remember these events still miss them. An O'Gordon Revel was one of my first SCA events, and also of my Lord Edwardus Honestus. Much has changed in the Known World since those days, but Good Times such as these are never forgotten!
Lord James (Jamie) is husband to Mistress Arlys o Gordon who, thankfully, remains active in the Society.
