	As mentioned before, the [[Canton of Bofharrach]] is a [[canton]] located in Greeley, Colorado. It ~~serves~~ to allow gentles there, made up equally of citizens of Greeley and students at the [[University]] of Northern Colorado, to allow locals to gather and hold [[event]]s and practices. It was founded in the mid 1990s. Its [[device]] is: ''[[Or]], a [[cow]] [[statant]] [[sable]] within a [[laurel wreath]] [[vert]], a [[bordure]] [[embattled]] [[sable]]''. This was modeled after a cow crossing sign, as Greeley is a major cattle city and Bofharrach itself means 'Gathering place of the Cows.'

	The Founding Baron was Sir Kevin MacKinnon, who was also the first knight to reside within the Barony itself; this led to many in the Barony calling him simply 'Sir'. The founding Baroness was Ismenia Joslyn Wyndarneer. Due to Outlands tradition, Sir Kevin and Mistress Ismenia are styled as 'Baron Unser Hafen' and 'Baroness Unser Hafen' for the rest of their lives for their service as founding Baron and Baroness. They also instituted ~~all~~ of the Baronial awards save the Stone Mason, which was instituted during the reign of Sir Alexandyr MacAndrew and THL Mardanah al-Hindyah, and the Corona Graminea (see below).

	== Awards ==		== Awards ==

			The following are the chartered orders of the barony. Until 2006 they carried an [[Award of Arms]], but were changed to being non-armigerous during the reign of Alexandyr and Mardanah, 6th Baron and Baroness of Unser Hafen.


			'''Builders of the Portcullis''' is the award given for arts and sciences. Its' badge is : (Fieldless) A portcullis vert debruised by a candle in its holder Or


			'''Golden Columbine of Unser Hafen''' is the award given for persona development. Its' badge is : (Fieldless) On a portcullis vert a columbine flower contourny Or

			'''Golden Ring of Unser Hafen''' is the Baronial service award. Its' badge is: (Fieldless) A portcullis vert debruised by an annulet Or

			'''Keepers of the Portcullis of Unser Hafen''' is the Baronial award for excellence in Heavy or Light Fighting, and Combat or Target Archery. Its' badge is: (Fieldless) A portcullis vert debruised by a pair of spears in saltire Or

			'''Prima Lux of Unser Hafen''' is the award given to outstanding gentles under the age of 16, in all fields. Its' badge is: (Fieldless) A portcullis vert bearing a torch enflamed Or

			'''Salt Bearer of Unser Hafen''' is given for exceptional work with newcomers and in the field of hospitality. Its' badge is: (Fieldless) On a portcullis vert a covered saltcellar Or

			'''Stone Mason of Unser Hafen''' is the newest award, created by Their Excellencies Alexandyr and Mardanah, to be given to those gentles who exemplify the spirit of the SCA in their words, deeds and bearing. It is the Baronial counterpart to the Outlands' Walker of the Way, one of the highest honors a Crown can bestow. Its' badge is in progress.


			The following are awards that are either non-ordered/non-chartered, or for some other reason lie outside the normal award structure of the Barony. In the case of the two awards given in Bofharrach, they are not official awards.


			'''The Corona Graminea of Unser Hafen''' was instituted by Baron Titus and Baroness Llamrei during their reign. It is awarded by the jurisdiction of the Baron and Baroness only after speaking with the fighters who fought on the field at Estrella, and is given in their will and their name. It is given to the fighter who exemplified the spirit and prowess of chivalry on the field that year, and is considered by many to be one of the highest honors they can receive. It has no badge, but is represented by a crown made of grass from the field of combat. It theoretically can be given to someone more than once, but thus far never has been. Currently there is a discussion in the Barony as to whether or not the award can be given to combat archers or fencers.

			'''The Green Man of Bofharrach''' is an award given through discussion between the Seneschal of Bofharrach and the Baron and Baroness of Unser Hafen to a gentle who has contributed greatly to the governance, administration or atmosphere of the Canton regularly and consistently, and represents a heart felt thanks for it. Its symbol is that of the Green Man of Celtic mythology, who was a God of giving and replenishing.

			'''The Cattle Guard of Bofharrach''' is an unofficial fighting order given to members of Bofharrach who have been to a war and own their own equipment. While unofficial and named after a farming tool to keep cows from straying, it is nonetheless considered an honor to be inducted and to wear it.
