Who's Who

[A] [B] [C] [D] [E] [F] [G] [H] [I] [J] [K] [L] [M] [N] [O] [P] [Q] [R] [S] [T] [U] [V] [W] [X] [Y] [Z]

Note: Not all photos of an individual may be listed in the Who's Who. The reason? Sometimes pure human error (in those cases, drop a note to me and I'll take a look ...). Often the reason is that I try to link to photographs that can be used to identify an individual -- these photos would be ones where if someone said "What does John the Lame look like?" they can go to the Who's Who and find photos of John the Lame that can show them what he looks like. A photograph of John in full armor (with his helm on) will not make it possible to identify him. A photograph of John's back will not make it possible to identify him. I hope that helps explain the reasons behind why sometimes a specific photo isn't incldued.

Note: In the spring of 2006, I updated the site a bit. I am using a database to store a listing of all HTML files with photos of people, and links to names and all that. What does this mean? Rather than linking to the thumbnail page for an event, each individual photo that fits the criteria noted above that a person is in will have a link. Hence, someone who is royalty may have MANY links for the same event, but each is to a different photograph. In addition, if a person has photographs under different names (i.e., they changed their name) there may be a cross-reference link to where their photos really are ... I hope this is useful. It took many hours to go through the 11,000+ files that are photo related on this site ... my fingers are tired (tons of mouse clicks -- I never realized how painful repetitive motion injuries can get ...). Because of the database, the dates and names should all be sorted properly ... The Who's Who pages are all generated (except this one) from the programs ...

Further Note: In the fall of 2007, this has been updated yet again. The code mentioned above now allows for more information, some of which has been pulled from the West Kingdom Awards list database, including images of armory, most of which are displayed from the West Kingdom Roll of Arms. If you wish to have your arms displayed in your listing here (and/or the West Kingdom Awards List), start with that site and work with the minister of that site.

Much of the information currently listed came from the West Kingdom Awards List database, and was automated. This can be re-generated as long as both the Awards List and the History site are on the same computer ...

Unfortunately in the process of doing this, a few links may have gotten lost when attempting to consolidate name data. I apologize for this. If you find a photo for some name that is not in their "Who's Who" listing, feel free to drop me an email. That process was not as well organized as I'd hoped.

The following link will allow you to request the option to add your own information to your Who's Who entry -- read the screen carefully: Who's Who Data Request Form. Please note that the Web Minister of this site has the right and responsibility to edit what you send if questions of accuracy and/or inappropriate information occur. It should be noted that this can only be done if you already have an entry -- a photo with your name associated with it, for example ...

How to Use the Who's Who: To find a particular person, search starting with the first letter of the first name. For example, Fulk de Wyvern is listed under F for Fulk, not D for de or W for Wyvern. If a last name is not known (i.e., the only name given to us is the first name), then the person's name will appear as "Name (?)" to indicate that the last name is not known at this time.

Links are given for photographs -- if there are none, a person's name is not listed here. All photographs are listed in chronological order, or at least we have attempted to put them in the proper sequence. The links are to the actual photographs.

The links for "People" are for photos that the photographer or contributor may not have a specific event for the photo, but the photo was one we opted to use on the site anyway. If the event the photo was taken at is known, it is listed. This part of the site is handy if you just want to see what someone looks like (or looked like in the past ...).

If there is a link for you, please feel free to submit some comments/thoughts/reflections of your own about the photo or about the SCA in general for the specific photo ...

As photographs are donated (see the "What's Needed/How to Submit" link from the main page), these pages will be updated to reflect the new photographs.
