<p>216.113.191.33: </p> <hr /> <div>nocabot<br /> A '''commander''' is, in [[SCA]] terms, anyone in authority over a number of [[fighter|troops]] and responsible for directing them on the [[battlefield]]. In period, any [[officer]] was likely to be [[noble]], but in the SCA merit and experience is typically what decides one's command qualifications.<br /> <br /> SCA commanders can be in charge of the [[logistics]] of getting their troops to the [[war]] and [[armour-up|armoured-up]] for the [[battlefield]], but mostly they merely command the troops on the field itself. Moving large [[formation|formations]] of infantry in unison is a difficult task for any [[commander]].<br /> <br /> It is interesting that the title of [[Duke]] comes from the [[Latin]] ''Dux'', which means, simply, ''commander''.<br /> <br /> [[category:combat]]</div>

<p>216.113.191.33: </p> <hr /> <div>ouvida<br /> A '''barony''' (plural ''baronies'') are the lands held by a [[baron]]. It could also mean the rank of a baron or his time in that office.<br /> <br /> ==Baronies with the SCA==<br /> A '''barony''' within the [[SCA]] is a large [[groups|branch]] within and subject to the administration of a [[Kingdom]], or [[Principality]] if there is one. They administer the branches within their borders, and have a [[Baron]] and [[Baroness]], the ceremonial representatives who are appointed by the [[Crown]] usually after a polling of some kind. Baronies can (and usually do) have their own [[baronial level award]]s.<br /> <br /> Advancement to barony can only occur if the following are in place:<br /> * 25 [[SCA_Membership|SCA member]]s<br /> * Set of [[officer]]s acceptable to the [[Crown]] (and the [[Coronet]], if applicable)<br /> * A registered name and [[device]]<br /> * Consensus favouring advancement by the population of the proposed barony, and the [[Crown]].<br /> * A [[baron]] and/or [[baroness]] must be selected at the time of application.<br /> * A strong record of activity in a variety of fields of endeavour.<br /> <br /> A Palatine Barony is unusual in that the ceremonial head is selected by some sort of competition, often a [[heavy fighting|heavy weapons]] tournament, but sometimes an [[Arts and Sciences]] competition. The Baron/Baroness therefore change with some regularity.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ''Refer to [[Corpora]] at http://www.sca.org/docs/welcome.html for more information''<br /> [[Category:Baronies (SCA)|Barony]]</div>
