The House of Stites was an Angel's-based household consisting of Lord Robert the Best and Lady Meggan of the Angels. Their duo Viking-style wedge tent camp was easily recognizable at war with their pennon flags and 10 foot hammock.
The House went inactive after Lord Robert the Best left the SCA in solidarity with Lady Meggan of the Angels after she was sexually harassed by a top player and the SCA literally E-Mailed her and told her to not tell anyone.
The House of Stites enjoyed deep time-period play and strived to live as period as possible. They camped with Angels at wars, loved theatre and pageantry and enjoyed meeting fellow SCAdians.
