Annotations:
"Duke Siegfried was the first Chancellor of the Exchequer of the SCA.
He was such at the time I joined (Oct. 1967- AS II) and continued, I
think, until Don/Jon incorporated the SCA (summer, 1968, ie. early AS III),
after which Don became Steward, Chronicler, Exchequer, and Chairman of
the Board. I was the first Chancellor of the Exchequer of the West
Kingdom (after the kingdom and the SCA were no longer synonymous). I
was appointed in late AS III (between March Crown of AS III & May Coronation of
AS IV , both being Spring of 1969) by then King Caradoc at the
recommendation of then Crown Prince Siegfried, who foresaw that the
Kingdom would now need funds of its own, apart from those of the SCA, Inc.
I suppose it was originally an appointment for life, since when I was
knighted by Siegfried at his coronation that May (our first ever overnight
event), my scroll read "Robert of Dunharrow - Knight, Chancellor of
the Exchequer" However, after slightly over a decade, in early
AS XIV, I finally managed to get someone else to do it. So
April 1969 to about June 1979 would be about it. I
was given the office, but no rules about how to do it, so I made
all that up as I went. (As did most other original great officers.) We
had not one penny to start either, so I had to devise ways of getting
people to put coins in the hat, later teaching them that paper money
was needed when we started having to actually pay to use sites. (After
Prop. 13 impoverished all local parks.)
“I squeezed all the money I could
out of the populace, then sort of sat on it like Smaug to keep
it from getting spent wildly. Only one king in 30 reigns ever asked
me how much money we had, they would just ask if we could
afford something and I would say we could or could not and that
was always accepted. I think we had a cushion of over $1,000
by the time I passed it on. That was a fair fortune in those times.
(Considering we all thought Don mad in AS III when he proposed
raising $100 to incorporate the SCA.)” - Robert of Dunharrow
“As Sir Robert says, getting small amounts out of Don even for the filing fee to become a non-profit tax exempt corporation was like pulling teeth. Though I fondly remember my appearance before an IRS agent in San Francisco, accompanied by the Board of Directors as we successfully convinced the gentleman that the SCA was an "educational corporation" within the meaning of the Code.” - David Of Illwheirlane

Disclaimer: This history may have errors in it, as much of the detail is “remembered” history, or as one of the cover pages of the original type-written manuscript states “The material within is derived from the information printed in The Crown Prints and in The Page, and from the memories of the participants.” The original document was typed on onion-skin paper, with hand-written notes (often in the margins). All attempts have been made to reconcile the notes with the original document.
Annotations, when they are added, are from The Annotated History of the West, Volume 1, which is the same text as Master Wilhelm's mentioned above, with commentary from members of the SCA who were active at the time of the event, and are added to help clarify questions and expand on what happened and why.
