Overview
Modern Territory: Orange County, California
Meaning: "Orange grove", in archaic English. The name refers to the wealth of orange groves that have given the modern county its name.
Blazon: Azure, three trees conjoined in fess Or, surmounted on the foliage by a laurel wreath vert, within a bordure Or.
Regalia: There have been three sets of Gyldenholt coronets. The oldest pair were blued steel with brass trim; their maker (and location) are unknown. Armand and Diana, first baron and baroness, wore them; they were later used as Reeve and Reevess coronets. Ambros Celidonis made the second pair, of nickel silver and brass, with enameled medallions with the Gyldenholt badge; Béla and Rosemary were invested with them. The current set was made by Igraine d'Abernon and was presented during the tenure of Morgan and Gwendolyn.

The Founding
Gyldenholt started in my living room. I had been in the SCA for six months. I got tired of having to drive to Sir Hugh the Undecided's place for fighting practice. I started asking why we didn't have a branch in orange county. Nobody had a good reason why so I organized the first meeting after that everyone there worked together and we founded the branch that became Gyldenholt. Things realy took off when Armand and Diana moved in to our area. Later people told me that new people didn't organize branches. I guess I was just ignorant. I think it was 1976 and I know Carl Nelson and Eric Bean were there. Also I think Sir Christian of Orange and Anonimus the Amnesiac were there.I know there were more people there but not many more. from Agelos Evienece, who served Gyldenholt as its first Marshall, transcribed by Giles Hill
