Baronessa Berengaria Longbow is an Eleventh Century Saxon-Norman hybrid living in England. She was born to a Saxon father, Thegn Sir Rolf Longbow and a Norman mother, Dame Ashley Longbow of Newcastle. Berengaria enjoys summering on the French Riviera, embroidery, fine wit and sarcasm and causing chaos at the Longbow stronghold.

Berengaria can be found causing trouble with Dame Ashley Longbow of Newcastle, Countess Elizabeth Yvonne Owles, Her Ladyship Halla Hrafnsdottir, Her Ladyship Fiona ni Chonchuir and others.

Looking to keep her from trouble are her loving and protective older brothers, Lord Finn Rolfsson, Earl Sir Cedric Blackwell Rolfsson, Sir Osrik Wolfsbatr Rolfsson and her Uncle, His Lordship Murcadh Dal Cais.

Most recently, Berengaria was the Court Coordinator and Royal Costumer for Cedric and Elizabeth.

Her Excellency is also responsible for much of the initial content on this wiki site, encouraging the humor and frivolity of those who surround her, and is known, in some circles, as The Baroness of Vomitus, long may she hold her reign. Berengaria was the inspiration for the well known Tale of Vomitus, which reads, in part:

...And then the raven locks of the Vomitus Baroness
Streamed behind and out of way
While winsome warriors, Kermis and Phillip
Lay in ditch and crashed helm against cart.
"Ha!" laughed the Lady,
For she alone was without stain and ruin.
The fallen heroes crawled toward tent, battle weary and wounded.
The Baroness, Neonuss Bluess, not this time, them to water, brought,
And words of wily chastise and hard scorn sprung hardy fools to their knees,
Less hardy, still foolish, the Lady's laugh in their ears.
And Phillip octaved his warcry at the game she and the Rolfsson had played.
