'''Brokenbridge''' is an [[SCA]] [[branch]] in the [[Kingdom of the East]]. It is a [[canton]] of the [[Crown Province of Ostgardr]].

The Canton of Brokenbridge is located in Brooklyn, NY. An early version of this canton was located in just a few zip codes in brooklyn and, due to the fact that most of its members lived in the same building, was referred to as the "Vertical Canton."

Before Brokenbridge was founded, there was some thought to name the coanton "Ebbet's Field. An Ebbet is a small green newt indigenous to the area. This would have made it a "newtist canton." This idea was ultiumately rejected.

The Pennsic War: A Video Documentary

2006-12-13T01:20:31Z

72.68.231.219:

The Pennisc War: A Video documentary is the largest documentary ever made of the [[Pennsic War]]. It was created by [[Duckball Home Video]], a small group of independent videographers located in Brooklyn, NY ([[Canton of Brokenbridge]]). They had met [[Ervald the Optimistic]] through a mutual friend at a bar known as Gallagher's Ships Mast, and upon learning about the SCA, decided they wanted to make a documentary about it. They headed out to Pennsic with three cameras and five crew, and shot 50 hours of footage. It turned out to be a 68 minute documentary, covering Pennsic XX, including interviews with such folks as Duke Sir Cariadoc of the Bow, Master El of the Two Knives, and others. It sold over 400 copies in two years.

In 2000, Watch This Space Enterprises (a company belonging to Ervald the Optimistic) acquired the video and the surviving raw footage (about 40% of it, that which was shot by one of the videographers, had disappeared). He edited together 47 minutes of footage and packaged a new edition, which is now available through the Watch This Space website and on Amazon.com.

72.68.231.219: /* History */

The '''Pennsic War''' (sometimes shorted simply to '''Pennsic''') is the largest [[SCA]] [[event]] in the world. Held every August in [[Kingdom of Æthelmearc|Pennsylvania]]), [[USA]], it is the [[tradition]]al [[war]] between the [[East Kingdom]] and the [[Middle Kingdom]]. Once, the war was fought over territory (the loser getting [[Barony of the Debatable Lands|Pittsburg]]) but now it is fought over prestige.

The major combatants are the Midrealm and the East Kingdom, but every other [[kingdom]] in the [[Known World]] chooses one side or the other. Many kingdoms have traditional alliances to one side or another, others switch every year.

[[A.S. XLI]] saw the 35th running of the event that started out in a field in Ohio, and now consumes the resources of a small western Pennsylvania town for 3 weekends and the 2 weeks in between.

[[image:battle1.jpg]]

The Pennsic War 35 official attendance was 11,298 gentles from all corners of the [[Known World]]. Pennsic is a definite "must get to one day" for the hardened [[SCAdian]]. It's an amazing experience, with literally hundreds of [[collegia]], days on end of [[tourney]] and [[war]] fighting, shopping that will send your credit card screeching for cover and thousands of other SCAdians to meet.

== History ==
The history of the Pennsic War is somewhat unique. King [[Cariadoc of the Bow|Cariadoc]] of the Middle sent a declaration of war to the Eastrealm in [[A.S. V]], but nothing ever came of it. In [[A.S. VII]] King Cariadoc of the East (he had moved and won a crown tourney in the interim) found the old declaration of war and promptly accepted, leading an [[army]] of Easterners west across the mountains. The Midrealm defeated them, making Cariadoc the first king in history to declare war on himself and lose.

Being the largest annual SCA event, it has been covered by the mainstream media. There have also been several documentaries made of the event, the largest being [[The Pennsic War: A Video Documentary]] by Duckball Home Video, which covered Pennsic XX.
