St Crispin history

The original SCA group at the University of Newcastle was called the College of St Julian the Hospitaller. After a period of dormancy, it was replaced by the College of St Crispin.

At the inception of the College of Saint Crispin, before its name was decided, a tournament was held to make that decision. Ragnar I, 27th Prince of Lochac, was victorious in that tournament. Prince Ragnar gave to the then Seneschal of the College, Lady Helene du Puy, the choice of Saint Crispin or Saint Olaf. Lady Helene chose Saint Crispin, and lo it was such that the 13th College of Lochac gained this name
