The symbol of the [[Laurel wreath]] was traditionally given to scholars, artists, athletes and soldiers in Ancient Greece as symbols of excellence. In the SCA, the Laurel is awarded to those who excel in a particular area of [[Arts and Sciences]], and it's in the job description for them to pass on knowlege to others. These people also judge [[A&S]] competitions, pass on recommendations to the [[Crown]] as to who future laurels should be, and are examples of courtesy and chivalric conduct. A Laurel may take on an [[apprentice]] to train up to 'laurelhood', often in a particular field similar to their own.

Becoming a Laurel (or any type of [[peer]]) takes about 10 years of dedicated work, on average.

A Laurel is addressed with the [[title]] of Master or Mistress, and bears a symbol of the laurel wreath. Some may also wear a [[Chain of Fealty]] if they are in [[fealty]] to the [[Crown]].
