History

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. Some versions of the legend include that the loser of the war was to get the lands comprising the Barony of the Debatable Lands in the area of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

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.
