Chivalry, Courtesy and Etiquette 

Members of the Sergeantry must display the traits of Chivalry, Courtesy and Etiquette. 

To demonstrate their knowledge of courtly ideals, candidates will be asked to choose one (or more) of the personal characteristics described by Andreas Cappellanus in The Art of Courtly Love, or knightly virtues from a different period source. Candidates will make a short address to the gentles of the court explaining the importance of said characteristic and how one might go about achieving it.

We ask that all sergeants and candidates actively participate in one or more of those round tables, and continue the dialogue amongst the Coronets, Sergeants, local Peers, and barony outside those focused round table discussions.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion 

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are cornerstone values for creating a welcoming SCA for all who would be part of our community. We ask that all Candidates take a DEI class of their choosing, in person or via video, within the SCA, at work, or in another training context. We recommend An Tir’s “See Something, Do Something – Bystander Intervention” or the “Inclusivity for Event Stewards” classes on the Terra Pomaria YouTube channel.
