'Orrible 'Arold, the 'Erald of 'Artwood is, predictably, a resident of the shire of Hartwood. He's also known as Pappagunda.
Persona
Harold is an anglo saxon circa 1066, because this is the only historical date he can remember.
Interests
Long before even joining the SCA, Harold hosted archery on his property. Despite seeing roughly three targets for every one down the end of the range, he continues to be reasonably successful; he won Daffodil's prize tourney in 2016, and his status as Master Bowmen contributed to Their Majesties Christian Bane and Hélène d'Anjou's decision to enter him into the Order of the Grey Gooseshaft November of 2018.
Upon gaining his AoA in 2014 Herald became interested in Heraldry. When the shire office had been vacant for some time, the rest of council voluntold him that he would be taking it on; they couldn't resist the alliterative charm of Harold being the Herald of Hartwood. His interest lies primarily in device design, and within a few months of taking on the office Hartwood had a number of devices in the approval process equal to approved devices previously.
In 2016 Hartwood held an event called Collage of War. At that event Phydeaux Weir came up to teach thrown weapons marshalling. This became a big part of Harold's focus afterwards; he became the first Hartwood thrown weapons officer (Chief Chucker), worked hard to become a Senior marshal, and heavily promoted the sport. A year later, in July 2017, their Highnesses Einar Guntharson || and Tangwystl verch Glyn entered him into the Order of the Hafoc in recognition of his efforts. In 2019, he became the Principality Thrown Weapons Marshal.
Companions
Harold is married to Marguerite Dubois. His daughter is Cunegonda van den Bossche, which is where 'Pappagunda' is derived from.
