Persona

Gauvain de Logres, called Malcoeur by some that speak French poorly, is an esquire and man at arms of Warwickshire from 1430, the latter part of the Hundred Years War. His liege Knight, Sir Michael Saint Sever, died of dysentery in 1422 at the siege of Meaux, and de Logres never sought knighthood after. He is an avid follower of the joust, and the practice of harnessfechten, as the Germans call it, and strives to better himself in both these pursuits. He is also an artisan, and has recreated many medieval objects, from a jousting saddle to clothing and armor.

He is a founding member of The Right Noble Company of Saint George, and wrote their Great Charter.

A former resident of Caid, he now lives in the southern Kingdom of the West, in the Barony of Tarnmist.

Miscellany

Gauvain de Logres (Gavin Danker) has been an SCA participant from 1977, with some long hiatuses, till the present. His major focus in the group is in historical reenactment, rather than fantasy. His proudest achievement in the SCA was in the creation, along with Cedric the Innocent (Illan Mitchell Smith), Sir Michael Saint Sever (the late Mike Plotts), and Brian Price, of the now Right Noble Company of Saint George. He also practices historical European Martial arts (HEMA) in the form of armored combat.

He recently, at the age of 60, took up the practice of jousting, which he hopes to become ever more proficient at, and active in.
