New Leaders of Madrone Sworn In
Madrone’s Baron Payne and Baroness Rauokinn swore an oath of service and fealty for the Barony to King Octomasades and Queen Achaxe at Royal Court at the Autumn War/Emprise of the Black Lion on September 13, AS 60 (2025).
Barun Christopher MacEneny and Barunin Gera Gangolffin retired after serving for four years as Baron and Baroness. The Sovereigns honored them with the ranks of Baron and Baroness of the Court.
Rauokinn and Payne were escorted into court by a lengthy procession of people of Madrone carrying banners. Madrone is the largest Barony in the Kingdom of An Tir.
Rauokinn has been involved with the SCA in the Barony of Madrone since 1997. While she came into the SCA because she fell in love with armored combat, she has since diversified her interests and is also an active participant in the arts & sciences and service communities. Creating and
supporting community is a huge passion for Rauokinn and she has invested a lot of her energy and passion into this pursuit over the last two and a half decades.
Payn has been a long time member of the fighting community of the Barony of Madrone, starting from when he moved to Madrone in 1997. He previously served in an unofficial capacity for years as the Point of Contact for
Armoured fighting within the Barony of Madrone, and he has put dozens of people into armour for their first time.
Congratulations to Payne and Rauokinn! Huzzah!
