Shire of Corvinia

The Shire of Corvinia is an SCA branch located in Hunedoara city in southern Transylvania, Romania.

This is the first shire to ever form in Romania (or at least it will be we can ever get off our butts and finish the application for shire status). It was formed in 2006 with the help of colleagues from the Shire of Ad Flumen Caerulum and Lord Barcsi Janos who donated the first memberships necessary to form a shire. Lord Arnulf and Lord Janos also helped a lot by their motivational encouragement and advice (and of course financial support, which unfortunately has dried up) as the shire formed.

The Shire of Corvinia is based at the Corvinus Castle (or to be more precise, the Knights of Hunedoara theatrical group, which markets itself as the Romanian representatives of the SCA, is based at the Corvinus Castle) where it regularly holds fighter training and puts on presentations for the tourists who visit the castle in exchange for a modest fee. The lords and ladies of this shire often give presentations at public and private events. The shire has appeared many times in the newspaper and on television. And of course, being good businessmen, we always make sure to get paid well for any performance or event that we attend. (Unlike our fellow SCAdians who just do this stuff just for fun.)
