Lord Leodamas of Thebes was a founding member of the Barony of Calafia, which was then still a territory of the Kingdom of the West. He was known to be a "wonderful and courtly gentleman" and a peacemaker at a time when the SCA was still developing.

His name is frequently misspelled as "Leodamus".

He served as the first Seneschal of the Barony of Calafia.

Death

Following an event, he was helping someone (the story is he was helping push a car) and the exertion caused him to have a heart attack which caused his death. Leodamas died in August, 1972.


Order of Leodamas of Thebes

Following his death, Baron Talanque created an award in his name. The Order of Leodamas of Thebes was established on 13 January 1973 at the 12th Night Revels. Eilonwy de Lyur was named as the founding member of the Order of Leodamas of Thebes.(1) This award is presented to those who display traits that are seen to be in keeping with the type of person Lord Leodamas was. Polling for this award takes place at a yearly tournament which also bears his name, and if there is a designated recipient, the award is presented at Calafia Anniversary. The award may be given out annually, but it is not required.

Memorial Tournament

The first tournament dedicated to Leodamas of Thebes was held in September, 1976. The event was held at Balboa Park, having been a week later than originally planned due to rain the previous week. In the finals, Balin of Tor defeated Gregory of York. (2)
