In order to be a Kingdom, a group must have at least 400 sustaining members, a history of regular events, fighters of sufficient quality and number to do honour to the Crown List, and Peerage in numbers to support and advise the Crown.
The West was the first Kingdom to be established, in 1966. The date of the first event (1st May, 1966) is reckoned to be the date the SCA started, and the term Anno Societatus was coined to create a calender. As of March, 2003 we are in AS XXXVII, and on the 1st of May we start AS XXXVIII.
