Our Heritage
The Barony of Wealdsmere began as a shire of the Kingdom of the West in the Principality of An Tir in 1978, or Anno Societatus (A.S.) XIII. We seceded from the Kingdom of the West along with the rest of An Tir when it became a Kingdom in its own right in January of 1982 (A.S. XVI). Wealdsmere continued to grow, and in July 1995 (A.S. XXX), we became a Barony at the coronation of Hwolf Einarsson and Luise die Daverhaft von dem Dammerungstal. It was an event known throughout An Tir as July Toronation (usually July Coronation) because a tornado actually touched ground near the event site, Farragut State Park in Northern Idaho, where we fought against the gale force winds and pouring rain most valiantly!
Our first Baron and Baroness were Balthasar the Quiet and Olivia Visconti. They held the lands of Wealdsmere for the crown of An Tir from 1995 to 1998. In 1998 (A.S. XXXIII), Brandt Sturrock and Kelta Bri Leith took the reins as Wealdsmere's second Baron and Ban Bheron (Irish Gaelic for Baroness). In A.S. XXXIX (2004), Their Excellencies Brandt and Kelta stepped down and Fergus Sturrock and Renata von Silverhart stepped up to wear the coronets and to hold these lands for the Sable Throne of An Tir. Our fourth and current Baron and Baroness, having stepped up in A.S. XLII (2007), are Caieth of Umber and Araviere Isobelle Magdaleine de St. Etienne.
