History

1979/AS 13 - 14 First organizational meetings held. There are two independent groups, Montengarde and Mussenhitt, each unaware of the other at first. Though they are made up of very different people they share a common love for the ideas of the SCA. This will eventually lead to their unification down the road.

1980/AS 14 - 15 Montengarde Petitions for Shire status, granted such in July. Both groups continue to grow and attract new members. "Non Taurus Est!" adopted as the group's motto after a duel with the College of Heralds over the precise nature of the principal charge on the Shire's Arms, the head of a Minotaur. It translates as: "That's No Bull!"
