Baroness Cara Michelle DuValier^RRE, OP

My family and I have been members since the mid 1980's. I have always lived within the Barony of Gyldenholt and have served several courts there. I have had the honor of serving on several Royal courts and was Chief Lady in Waiting for some of my good friends and family.

My family and I have been privledged to attended SCA events all over the United States and New Zealand. I find it very interesting how other groups have taken a set of rules/guidelines and have interpreted them to their liking.
