Introduction

Arglwydd Macsen ap Rhys of Wyvern Hall is a brewer, leather worker, and archer of some small reputation in his first SCA home, the East Kingdom. Macsen first encountered the SCA in the Canton of Fennbrycg, Barony Beyond the Mountain circa A.S. XIX (UConn, Storrs, 1984) where he dabbled briefly in heavy combat and period gaming. Macsen moved away from Fennbrycg in 1986 to pursue his mundane career but never really forgot the SCA; keeping in touch via FidoNet lists and rec.org.sca. A few years later, he sought out the SCA in the Canton of Bowman's Rest and discovered SCA archery at the fabled House Rivendell. Macsen soon joined House Rivendell and trained under the tutelage of Master David MacDougall. He was strongly influenced by fellow archers Mistress Ygraine of Kellswood, Master Li Kung Lo, Mistress Daryl of Avallon, Master Krakken Gnashbone, and William of Barnsdale. Macsen quickly obtained a warrant as an archery marshal which he maintained throughout his tenure in the East Kingdom. He achieved the ranking of Master Bowman (see EK Archery Royal Round) in A.S. XXVIII.

Only one picture of Macsen in his Wisby-inspired leather and steel armor survives. He authorized in sword & board, spear, great sword, and pike, but has only fought as Pennsic sword fodder. Macsen's weapons of choice will always be longbow and crossbow.
