Earl Cathyn Fitzgerald's musings on life as an SCA persona, writings about virtue, and links to useful information for others in the SCA or interested in getting involved. |

| If you'd like to learn more about Cathyn, you get two choices:
The semi-pretentious "Suitably unlikely persona story, conveniently tying in awards and such given in the SCA with things that really happened in history" Or... "No shit, there we were...", the true-to-life (and really long) story of Cathyn in the SCA, including as much glory and ill deeds as a man can cram into a three decade lifetime in the club. Don't worry, most of the infamy will be about me, most of the glory will be about things I've seen others do. And... If you want to see the *really* immodest stuff, click here. I am also a collector of sorts, and am currently working on a complete collection of Tournaments Illuminated

THE NINE KNIGHTLY VIRTUESOne need not be a knight to be virtuous, but one must be virtuous to be a knight.Please note that I have left "Chivalry" off the list of Knightly Virtues. When I thought about it, I realized that in fact, Chivalry is no less than the sum of the Nine Knightly Virtues. To discuss Chivalry is to discuss them all. When one has been Chivalric and Virtuous for a significant period of time, they might discover that they have developed probity, a very desirable state indeed. Not technically a virtue, more the result of being virtuous. |
