Memories
Greetings.
It’s with a heavy heart I announce the passing of Rob Milligan – known in the SCA as Don Robert Camulus Brigantia. He passed beyond the veil earlier this month at his home.
Don Robert was the first primarily left-handed rapier fighter to be recognized as a White Scarf of Caid. He then claimed the title as the “first officially sinister White Scarf”. (Nothing like a heraldry joke to get people laughing.) He dedicated his time to help the rapier community grow during its formative years. One his proudest moments was being recognized as a White Scarf; the second one was when his student, (now) Master Colwyn, received his white scarf. Although his health prevented him from attending events over the past decade, he stayed engaged online and definitely shared his opinions with his friends.
Through the years, he was my fencing student, my brother-in-arms, my counsel and, most importantly to me, my friend.
For those that knew Robert, please take a moment this weekend to raise a drink in your left hand and salute his memory.
