Kingdom, SCA

Within the Society for Creative Anachronism, the administration and leadership of the territorial divisions are referred to as ‘kingdoms’, although SCA law states clearly that these divisions have no bearing on any mundane rule, law or authority. Each kingdom, geographically bound, has developed specific cultural practices that give each a unique identity. Each kingdom, ruled by a king and the greater officers of the kingdom (Seneschal, Marshal, Exchequer, Chronicler) and their deputies, is broken down into further divisions--principalities, baronys, shires, colleges and marches. Each of the SCA kingdoms is given below in the order of precedence:
