Saint Giles College (University of Victoria Medieval Club) is located within the bounds of the Barony of Seagirt( Victoria, B.C.), in the Principality of Tir Righ upon the island of Insula Magna (Vancouver Island).
Historical Summary
Founded : March XXXII/1998
The date of the foundation of the College is somewhat misleading as the UVic Medieval Club has been operating more or less continuously on campus since at least A.S. XIX/1985. For many years the UVic Students Society's annual "Clubs Days" were the largest single source of newcomers to Seagirt when it was still a shire. The College's name, arms (Azure, on a cross argent between four laurel wreaths Or five martlets gules), and badge ((Fieldless) A monk-fish naiant to sinister argent) were all registered in May of 1997.
