Marshals in the SCA

A marshal is in charge of all combat-related SCA activities. Depending on what type of marshal they are, their responsibilities may include being in charge of safety on the field (both tournament and war), carrying out armour inspection, authorisation of new fighters and keeping up-to-date with society combat laws.

There are different marshals for each type of combat: heavy, light, medium, non-combatant and rapier.

The kingdom marshal is commonly titled the Earl Marshal.

The symbol for the marshallate is a pair of crossed golden swords on a black field.
