Morgaine Brigantia
Morgaine is a Countess of An Tir and reigned with her Lord husband Dux Darius Corvinus. Cometessa Morgaine is from the tribe of the Brigantes, who ruled a large kingdom in the north surrounding Eboracum, later known as Jorvik or York. She now lives in the South with her Lord, in their villa, surrounded by their household, and holdings. Darius has a son, Corvyn. Morgaine has a son, Jared. Their children together are, son Darius II, daughter Chloe, and another son Gideon.
Cometessa Morgaine was active in offices in her local shire, and her idea of the dream are those Magic Moments when you can really believe you are a part of the past. She has many memorable events, including September Crown Tournament 1996 and 30th Year Celebration. Possibly still her favorite though, was a stand-up cocktail party style of revel at a wonderful old house in Wealdsmere a number of years ago. Duke Gunnar and Duchess Gabrielle hosted the King and Queen. The house itself was a perfect setting as it was far easier to suspend disbelief when there weren't basket-ball hoops over your head. Morgaine remembers a slide presentation in an upstairs room on this wonderful place that became the University of St. Hildegard.
Cometessa Morgaine is a lover of beautiful things and a great supporter of the arts and sciences. She placed a heavy emphasis on the Bardic arts during her reign. She also appreciates fine costuming, and is interested in talking to others with a love for early period garb. She places a strong emphasis on family, and the importance of integrating children into the SCA. Morgaine has worked with the textile arts all her life, and has or wants to dabble in most of them before she's through. Her favorite things are: coffee, fabric, vanilla, amber, and cobalt blue glass. Her personal badge is a crescent moon, usually silver, facing right, like a 'c'. Her colors are black, red, silver and gold.

Planxty Morgaine -Briana nic h'Eusaidh, Fili n'An Tir
She is wise and free, She's good to me She holds my heart in her hand She is light and love She's the grey Dove She is the Life of The Land
And in her heart, and in her heart She bears the wedding ring He looks to her, He loves her With her, he is ever King.
She is formed in Grace, She's fair of face She walks light as the dew With her hair unbound, Children around Every breath does Life renew
And in her eyes, and in her eyes Shines bright her love so true He looks to her, He loves her Every breath does Faith renew.
(written in honour of this great lady, whom I had the privilege to serve as Royal Bard. *Briana*)
