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. Baron Talanque then dedicated a tournament to his memory, and created an award called the Order of Leodamas of Thebes.
It is far more common to find the name spelled "Leodamus".Leodamas passed away in August of 1972 while assisting someone after an event.
Order of Leodamas of Thebes
Created by Baron Talanque, the Order of Leodamas of Thebes, this award is presented to those who display traits that are seen to be in keeping with the type of person Lord Leodamas was. Polling for this award takes place at a yearly tournament which also bears his name, and if there is a designated recipient, the award is presented at Calafia Anniversary. The award may be given out annually, but it is not required.
