The '''Kingdom of An Tir''' is the [[SCA]] [[kingdom]] that covers Oregon, Washington, and the northern tip of Idaho in the [[USA]],and British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, the Yukon, and the Northwest territories in [[Canada]].

It began as a [[Principality]] of the [[West]] in August of [[A.S. VIII]] when Frederic of the West [[Tower]] and Anne of the White Tower were invested as the first [[Prince]] and [[Princess]] of An Tir.

In January of [[A.S. XVI]], Manfred Kriegstreiber and Morag Campbell of Glenbourne became the first to ascend to the [[Sable]] [[Lion]] [[Throne]]s as An Tir became the ninth [[sovereign]] [[Kingdom]] in the [[Known World]].

In the 21 years since that time, An Tir has grown to include 3 full [[principality|Principalities]]: [[The Summits]], in March of [[A.S. XXX]], [[Avacal]], in August of [[A.S. XXXI]], and most recently, [[Tir Righ]], in June of [[A.S. XXXVIII]].

Among the most celebrated An Tirians are 7 "triple [[peer]]s": [[Duke]] James Greyhelm, [[Sir]] Edward Ross, [[Viscount]] [[Edward Zifran of Gendy]], Sir Ludwig von Lemminghaus, Viscount Scellanus of Skye, Viscount Theodulf of Borogrove, and Sir Y Blackhand.

However, An Tir's most honored citizen is easily the [[Dowager Princess]] [[Viscountess]] Janeltis Karaine, Starfollower, (cf. [http://www.antir.sca.org/Pubs/ATH/2janeltis.html Tribute page]) , who was awarded the [[title]] of Dowager Princess and the [[rank]] of permanent [[royalty]] by the [[BoD]] on October 10th, [[A.S. XIII]]. Her passing is remembered in [[court]]s throughout An Tir to this day.
