On behalf of Their Graces Duke Don Sebastian Javier de la Cruz and Dame Haldora Egilsdotter:
The members of the Duchy of Somerset; while making their homes in
Northeast Indiana, East Central Indiana, and Northwest Ohio; have worked
hard to make Somerset a true family. We dedicate ourselves to the
practice of the medieval way of life; from combat and archery, to arts
& sciences and culinary skills. Our combatants fight with great
honor, our archers compete with skill, our artisans display their works
with pride, and our cooks make sure we all are fed well at the end of
the day. Through all of that, our ministers work with great dedication
to keep the Duchy moving smoothly.
Started in 2002, the Duchy of Somerset has grown from its
original size to encompass a great many people from a variety of
backgrounds. From Scottish and Irish mercenaries to Spanish and Italian
corsairs; from Danish Vikings to English, French, and German nobles;
Somerset welcomes all with open arms to join us at our table, in our
tournaments, or over a bottle of some of the wonderful home-made
cordials offered up by our members.
We urge any and all interested members to come join us at one
of our monthly events, or to send an email to either of our Crowns or
our Hospitaler with any questions. Somerset has become a great home for
many, and extends its family atmosphere to all members, old and new
alike. Chivalry is alive and well in Somerset. Come see for yourself!
