View source for College of Blessed Herman the Cripple

The '''College of Blessed Herman the Cripple'''  is an [[SCA]] [[College]] in the [[Barony of Innilgard]] in the [[Kingdom of Lochac]]. It is based at the [[University]] of Adelaide, Adelaide, Australia. As the first [[College]] and one of the first [[group]]s established in Lochac, it has a very old and rich history. It was the first [[college]] in [[Lochac]] to be founded [http://history.lochac.sca.org/groups/colleges/blessed-herman], though this claim is disputed by the [[College of St Ursula]].

The first [[Queen]] of Lochac, [[Duchess]] Guðrun, is a former [[scholar]] and [[seneschal]] of the college, and during her second reign as Queen, gave Blessed Herman the right to refer to itself as "The Queen's College".

The college has played a large part in the [[Inter-College War]]s,  both as a host and regularly the victor. Often known as "the Friendly College", their mascot is [[Fred]], the Fire Breathing [[Goat]] of Doom. Assisting [[Fred]] is Oscar the Ram.

=== Hagiography ===

'''Blessed Herman the Cripple''' was a [[mathematician]], [[musician]] and [[monk]].  He was considered to be a genius, yet his parents gave him to the [[church]] as a child because he was so horribly crippled and was therefore no use for working in the fields.
