Cariadoc of the Bow

His Grace Cariadoc of the Bow is one of the truly legendary figures in the SCA. He is a triple peer and a Duke. Among other things he is the man who:

• declared war on himself and lost, starting Pennsic.
• proposed the idea of Enchanted Ground.
• publishes the Miscellany.
• was an early translator of medieval cookbooks, and source for the same.
• is, to the best of my research, the Premier Pelican of the SCA. ((Not true. The Order of the Pelican was founded on 10/22/1972 and Boncueur de Myrobolan was created the Premier of the Order. Duke Cariadoc received his Pelican on 8/15/1981))

And many, many other things. Do a Google search on "Cariadoc of the Bow" and see what happens. (As of today, 13 Nov. 2006, that search has 400+ hits and there are many references to Duke Cariadoc or Master Cariadoc and so on that don't show up on that search.
