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 peacemaker at a time when the SCA was still going through some growing pains.
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.
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)
His name is frequently misspelled as "Leodamus".
