Dame Merouda Pendray
Dame Merouda Pendray
Merouda Pendray is the head of the household Sept Pendray. Sept Pendray is itself a part of three larger households, Candlehaven, House Redhair, and Nocturnal Fellowship of Scribes.
Her Arms: per pale sable and Or, a gryphon segreant contourne within an orle of feathers counterchanged.
Her Badge: [Fieldless] On a water-bouget sable, two ermine spots Or.
Household badge for Sept Pendray: [Fieldless] A seeblatt inverted gules.
Her motto: Semper ubi sub ubi.
Merouda arrived in the Current Middle Ages sometime in 1989, but did not become seriously active until June 28, 1992. (Actuallly, a case could be made for her first activity occurring in 1982, but since it involved hiding an adolescent crush, it's best left unremarked.)
In 1994, Merouda was apprenticed to Bronwyn ferch Gwyn ap Rhys, and has since become a journeyman in her service.
Merouda is a self-described "arts & sciences maniac" and is devoted to the study of the various crafts of the Middle Ages. Like most members of the SCA, she devours books. Consequently, she is constantly in need of MORE BOOKCASES! Her especial areas of A&S interest include: calligraphy and illumination; heraldry; historical clothing; embrodiery; cooking; soap- and candlemaking; brewing, vinting, and blending; and various "dabblings"--she's learning but hasn't yet gained proficency in weaving, leatherworking, vocal music, print making, dancing, sculpture, lacemaking,... and lots of other stuff. Too much to list! And, as an aside, she also does a lot of research and likes archery!
Merouda currently resides in the Barony of Caer Anterth Mawr, Principality of Northshield, Kingdom of the Middle. She continues to maintain strong ties to the Shire of Rockwall.
