__NOTOC__
Welcome to [[Cunnan]], a [[Wiki]] collecting information for [[re-enactor]]s of the [[Middle Ages]] and [[Renaissance]] with a heavy slant towards members of the [[SCA]].

[[Cunnan]] is believed to be the largest [[SCA]]-related wiki in the world but anyone can edit our articles. You should '''be bold in updating pages!''' Articles can only be improved if people are contributing new information and improving old information. So add research information, how-to pages, [[event]] information and anything else you can think of. Cunnan should be applicable worldwide, so be mindful of [[Cunnan:Regional_point_of_view|regional differences]] - use comments such as "In [[Lochac]]...". If you see anything that is different in your area, add a note on your local variation.<br>

Ne: mediawiki security update 1.16.3 will be applied at this time tomorrow..

'''NOTICE''' -- A '''new version''' of mediawiki has been released. This site will be unavailable from around '''05.10 GMT Wednesday 13 April 2011''' for about 15 minutes. I'll post here when the update is complete.

This wiki can (and should) be accessed via the address http://cunnan.lochac.sca.org from now on. The sca.org.au domain is in the process of being re-purposed to matters relating to the mundane legal body, [[SCAA]], and eventually the address http://cunnan.sca.org.au will be retired. Please consider this when creating/updating links :-) -Will-</div>

Drakkar

2011-04-12T03:52:07Z

Ne: removed website - it was taken down ages ago (Will - member of drakkar household)

== Drakkar ([[ship]]) ==
A '''Drakkar''' is a type of [[viking]] [[longship]]. It can be used as a [[heraldic]] [[charge]] in the [[SCA]] (e.g. the [[device]] for the [[Barony of Stormhold]]).

== House Drakkar ([[Household]]) ==

[[Image:Drakkar.png|right|House Drakkar]]

'''House Drakkar''' is a [[Viking]] [[mercenary]] group based in [[Rowany]], [[Lochac]]. It is predominantly a [[light]] skirmish company in [[Lochac]].

Their motto: ''Damnate Gloriam, tradite pecuniam''
(damn the glory, take the [[money]])

They have no set fee but work on a offer system where none of the bidders know the other bidders or amounts offered. Offers of [[blunt arrow|blunt]]s, [[alcohol]], [[armour]], trinkets, etc. will be entertained at catered [[event]]s, whilst at non-catered events, feeding them for the duration is most acceptable. No bids of lands or [[rank]] requiring allegiance will be accepted.

The Magna Carta or Great Charter was a formal record of an agreement between [[King]] [[John Lackland|John]] of [[England]] and a rebellious group of [[baron]]s, sealed on 15 June 1215, at Runneymede meadow, outside Windsor.
Four copies remain of a series sent out to [[sheriff]]s for public dissemination. The Charter was annulled by [[Pope]] [[Innocent III]].

On 12 November 1216 the Charter was re-issued in the name of the 9-year-old [[Henry III]] by his [[regent]]s, with certain clauses omitted.
