Meet Aelis de la Rose- bard, herald, teacher, and chaos coordinator.
Aelis' name comes from one of her favorite books growing up- "Catherine, Called Birdy" by Karen Cushman. Her formative years in the SCA were spent onboard a sailing ship (the finest ship on all the dry seas), and her love of roses influence both her name and device (where you can see many other ship-related elements).
It was after her first ten years in the SCA that she got involved in official activities, stepping in as court coordinator for Luciano and Elizabeth. This opened the floodgates as she discovered her skills in public speaking and organization had a very fitting home behind the thrones. As her wordfame in court heraldry grew, so did requests for her to take on the mantle of Royal Herald from those stepping up to wear the Coronets of the Summits. The next ten years looked like this:
2012-2013 Court Coordinator, Luciano and Elizabeth (Summits)
2013-2019 Court Coordinator/Herald, Durin Oldenmoor and Ceridwen ferch Morgan (Adiantum)
2015-2016 Royal Herald, Turk and Vesta (Summits)
2016-2017 Royal Herald, Tjorkill II and Alina (Summits)
2017 Royal Herald, Durin and Ceridwen (Summits)
2017-2018 Royal Herald, Turk II and Seamus (Summits)
~ After heralding four reigns with only one break, she was asked to take on the next reign but recognized she needed to step back a bit in order to avoid burnout. As a result, she offered to assist as needed but was not the primary herald on the reign. ~
2018 Assistant Royal Herald, Attila and Eleanor (Summits)
~ And then she was ready to go again! ~
2018-2019 Royal Herald, Njal and Sif I (Summits)
2019 Court Coordinator, Antoine and Kathren (Summits)
2019-2021 Assistant Royal Herald, Kenric and Dagmar (Summits)
2021-2022 Royal Herald, Luciano and Tessina (Summits)
2022 Royal Herald, Bato and Emma (Summits)
Her mundane life caused a relocation to Three Mountains, which also slowed down her ability to attend events for a time.
In 2024, she was given an opportunity she had not yet had- she joined the herald team for the reign of Eirik Daegarsson III and Brynhildr Ansvarsdottir. Under the guidance of the wonderful Giata Magdalena Alberti, Aelis was assigned as the Regional Herald for Summits, thereby taking on the duties of Royal Herald at all Summits events which Their Majesties attended. It was a great experience to work with such a positive core team, and fascinating to note the similarities and differences in how court heraldry is run at kingdom as compared to principality.
