West Kingdom
The West Kingdom (also known as The Kingdom of the West) is the oldest Kingdom (or branch) of the historical re-enactment Society, Society for Creative Anachronism. It comprises Northern California (including the San Francisco area), Nevada, Alaska, Japan, Korea and the Pacific Rim. 〔 Dubin, Murray "Local Lancelots Medieval battles and culture are kept alive by the Society for Creative Anachronism." The Philadelphia Inquirer 1 August 2001〕〔 James, Victoria "Let's fight!" The Japan Times 4 May 2003〕
== History ==
The Kingdom of the West was the first SCA group, founded in 1966. An initial party with David Thewlis, Steve Henderson, Ken de Maiffe, and author Diana Paxson (at the time a medieval history major at the University of California, Berkeley) and others was held in Paxson's backyard. Many of the attendees were at Berkeley, and were history buffs and science fiction fantasy fans. They held the first party as an outdoor sword fighting tournament using leather armour with some steel.〔 The history of the kingdom of the West - Pre History" http://history.westkingdom.org/Year0/index.htm 〕 Everyone enjoyed the event, and another was planned. From this first event, the group began to expand. After three years, part of this new group on the east coast split off and the East Kingdom was founded, distinguishing it from the West Kingdom.
〔Cramer, Michael A. " Medieval fantasy as performance: the Society for Creative Anachronism and the current Middle Ages"
G - Reference, Information and Interdisciplinary Subjects Series Scarecrow Press, 2010 p 176 〕〔 http://www.westkingdom.org/ West Kingdom Website 〕 In subsequent years other regions previously operating under the auspices of the West Kingdom have also split off to form their own Kingdoms, generally when the population is deemed large enough and the local culture distinct enough to warrant the split.
