Seumas mac Brehon

Sir Seumas mac Brehon is a 6th Century Irishman from Ulster, serving as a trén-fher [trainar], a champion or chief fighting man, who answered challenges to single combat for the king (Ireland had lots of them at times). His main pre-1600 focus, is rattan combat (primarily with the polearm, the one true weapon style), cheesemongering, and cartography, with an emphasis on creating SCA maps, using the thinking behind the creation of period maps.

Brehon got his start in the SCA, in the Shire of Korsvag in A.S. XXX, when he became aware of a medieval broadsword class being taught through the college's Skills Warehouse, and signed up immediately. Upon showing up at the appointed time, the teacher Tarrach informed him that he was the only attendee, gave him his money back, and told him to just attend the twice weekly practices that were free.
