Masters in the SCA
Master is the title (actually an honorific) given in the SCA to those who are members of the Order of the Pelican and/or Order of the Laurel. Women who hold the title may use the title Mistress.
A member of the Order of Chivalry who has declined to swear fealty is also a master.
It is also the term used for some SCA ministers or officers, e.g. Kingdom Lists Officers are sometimes referred to as Masters of the Lists.
