The Barony of Eskalya was founded as the Shire of Eskalya in the earliest
mists of time in a place now called the Kingdom of An Tir, far away from the
lands we now hold in the Kingdom of the West. The earliest records of the
Shire, those we now use to establish our legitimate claim to this land, date
from Anno Societatis XII (May 1, 1977 - April 30, 1978 by the modern
reckoning). These ancient and venerable documents record a tournament
held within the bounds of the shire to select a Lord-Defender, further these
documents record that feasting and revelry marked the beginning of the rule
of Sir Einrich Dwarflord Armpittsbane as the first Lord-Defender. Not
one year later in A.S. XIII, Hugh McGlammoraga of the North and Selenia of
Silverwood were invested as the Founding Baron and Baroness of Eskalya.
Of these early years little is
recorded for posterity, save only a list of the great Barons and Baronesses
who led our humble people.

As the majority of the
Barony's history predates the Web minister's involvement in the SCA, she
would greatly appreciate anecdotes and stories to fill in the missing
years. Also, the Web minister thanks the
West Kingdom History
Project for information predating her birth.
