Yaroslav the Persistent was an Eastern Slavic tribesman who wandered too far South and West and ended up being captured by Belisarius in one of his earlier expeditions. He accepted Count Belisarius' offer and became a Bucellarius, following the Byzantine general throughout his career. When he first stayed in Constantinople, Yaroslav adopted Christianity, and though he wears a cross and crosses himself, he misses the subtleties of the faith and in truth has not strayed very far from his reverence of the Slavic gods, particularly Perun, the god of thunder, war, and justice. Yaroslav served at the Battle of Dara, was in Constantinople during the Nika Rebellion of 532, and followed Belisarius to face the Vandal Kingdom in North Africa. He also serve the Count in campaigns against the Eastern Goths of Witiges in Italy. When Belisarius was withdrawn from Italy, Yaroslav followed him. He currently lives on a farm outside of Adrianople.
Yaroslav the Persistent is an early twelfth-century Rus’ who left Kyiv and settled with the Black Hats or Chernye Klobuki, a group of semi-nomadic Turkic tribes, the remnants of their military aristocracies. In return for their military service to the Princes of Kyiv, they were given land just southwest of Kyiv. He lived through the tumultuous times of the internecine wars of Prince Yaroslav the Wise’s sons (which lasted from 1054-1093), the troubled 20-year-long rule of Sviatopolk II of Kyiv, and the relative renaissance of the 12-year-long reign of Volodymyr II Monomakh (or Vladimir Monomakh). Everything will go to crap for Kyivan Rus’ after Volodymyr’s passing in 1125. During this time, the Black Hats became more sedentary and attached to towns. They were often used as a first blow in warfare and their primary enemies were other tribes of the steppes, who were less settled. Yaroslav is vaguely an Eastern Orthodox Christian, but he still believes in the pagan gods.

== Baron of Bald Mountain ==
A bit of [[Siech Persistent]] history: for many years, the Siech held events on Mt. San Antonio, better known as Mt. Baldy, which we called Raccoonfests or Raccfests. Over time the events grew larger and brought more and more folk to camp out, fight, and just enjoy a weekend on the tallest mountain in the San Gabriel Mountains.
Twenty-one years ago, when I was made a Court Baron, I asked for this mountain.
Today (March 5, 2022), at Crown, it was confirmed: I have been granted Mt. Baldy, which in Ukrainian is called "Лиса гора," (pronounced "Lysa Hora") and rendered into English as Bald Mountain.
Thank you, Your Majesties!

I anticipate constructing a similar site at my new school, Theodore Roosevelt High School.

Yaroslav the Persistent

Baron Kyr Yaroslav the Persistent. He was elevated to the Order of the Chivalry on November 22, 1986, by Edward and Ilaria, King and Queen of Caid.


Persona

Yaroslav the Persistent is an early twelfth-century Rus’ who left Kyiv and settled with the Black Hats or Chernye Klobuki, a group of semi-nomadic Turkic tribes, the remnants of their military aristocracies. In return for their military service to the Princes of Kyiv, they were given land just southwest of Kyiv. He lived through the tumultuous times of the internecine wars of Prince Yaroslav the Wise’s sons (which lasted from 1054-1093), the troubled 20-year-long rule of Sviatopolk II of Kyiv, and the relative renaissance of the 12-year-long reign of Volodymyr II Monomakh (or Vladimir Monomakh). Everything will go to crap for Kyivan Rus’ after Volodymyr’s passing in 1125. During this time, the Black Hats became more sedentary and attached to towns. They were often used as a first blow in warfare and their primary enemies were other tribes of the steppes, who were less settled. Yaroslav is vaguely an Eastern Orthodox Christian, but he still believes in the pagan gods.

Baron of Bald Mountain

A bit of Siech Persistent history: for many years, the Siech held events on Mt. San Antonio, better known as Mt. Baldy, which we called Raccoonfests or Raccfests. Over time the events grew larger and brought more and more folk to camp out, fight, and just enjoy a weekend on the tallest mountain in the San Gabriel Mountains.

Twenty-one years ago, when I was made a Court Baron, I asked for this mountain.

Today (March 5, 2022), at Crown, it was confirmed: I have been granted Mt. Baldy, which in Ukrainian is called "Лиса гора," (pronounced "Lysa Hora") and rendered into English as Bald Mountain.

Thank you, Your Majesties!

How I Found the SCA

Associates

I formed Siech Persistent, which everyone called simply the Siech, but that quickly devolved into numerous squires and their households, so the Siech became an umbrella of sorts.

Squires

As to those squires:

Many have had name changes, better fortunes in title, some have squired to others, some have ruled Caid. Yaroslav holds the record for most Squires in Caid. See Chivalry Tree for the full roster.

(If your information on this list is incorrect, out of date, in (parentheses) which means only a mundane name is listed, a title is incorrect, your squires/apprentices/proteges can be added, you want other information included, or are newly joined to the Lineage, contact Gulliver. If you do not have a Caid Wiki listing I can put that together for you as well.)
