The Barony of Madrone is the local chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). Madrone is a Barony of the Kingdom of An Tir, located in the area modernly known as Seattle and northern King County in Washington State. The Eastside of this area is known as the Canton of Porte de l’Eau, a sub-branch of Madrone, in the area modernly known as Kirkland, Redmond, and Bellevue.
The SCA is a participatory organization devoted to the research and re-creation of pre-seventeenth century skills, arts, combat, culture, and employing knowledge of history to enrich the lives of participants through events, demonstrations, and other education presentations and activities.
