Kingdom Regalia

New Caidan Crowns Project

Knowing the surpassing skill of Caid's artisans, it was the desire of the Order of the Rose to highlight them through the creation of an additional set of Crowns to complement those already part of the Royal Regalia. In December 2012, the design submitted by Maestra Flavia Beatrice Carmigniani was chosen, and Master Otuell Gowe began work on the new Crowns. Based on an authentic "plaque" design, the new crowns were completed in 2014.

History of Caid

The Compendium Caidis Editor-in-Chief THL Lachlan Cromarty and his team of editors are working tirelessly to detail Caid's history in words and pictures here on the wiki. If you wish to become part of the effort, contact him at caidhistory@sca-caid.org. As of 01/07/2017, Baroness Catharine Hawkwod da Barbiano will step up as Caid's first official Historian. She may also be reached at that email address.
