The Kingdom of Meridies, SCA Inc.
Active members of the order that reside within the Kingdom of Meridies.
Born in 1328 to a family with a minor estate outside the coastal town of Brighthelmston. Alexander’s father was very fond of horses and had trained many of the finest mounts in the Kingdom. It is no wonder that Alexander learned to ride about the same time he learned to walk.
When Alexander was 14 he was sent to Castle Risinge where he received martial training from the weapons master, Larry of Parrish. It was here that he met his lifelong friend, Christoforus Fortescu.
At the age of 18 Alexander and Christoforus had their first taste of war serving under Edward the Black Prince at the Battle of Crecy. They like it! After that time, Alexander and Christoforus served in many free companies and suitably harranged the Frogs. . . er, I mean the French until Edward returned ten years later for the Battle of Poitiers.
After this grand victory, Alexander and Christoforus parted ways for a while to meet up again a couple of years later in Bordeaux. It is here that the two play at tournaments and try to stay out of trouble. It is not easy being English in France.
“A dishonest tongue and a dishonest mind waste time, and therefore waste our lives. We are here to grow and the truth is the water, the light, and the soil from which we rise. The armor of falsehood is subtly wrought out of the darkness and hides us not only from others but from our own soul.” – Sir Thomas Lemuel Hawke

“Each one of us is walking our own road. We are born at specific times, in specific places, and our challenges are unique. As knights, understanding and respecting our distinctiveness is vital to our ability to harness our collective strength. The use of force may be necessary to protect in an emergency, but only justice, fairness, and cooperation can truly succeed in leading men. We must live and work together as brothers or perish together as fools.” – Sir Thomas Lemuel Hawke

“Create time alone with yourself. When seeking the wisdom and clarity of your own mind, silence is a helpful tool. The voice of our spirit is gentle and cannot be heard when it has to compete with others. Just as it is impossible to see your reflection in troubled water, so too is it with the soul. In silence, we can sense eternity sleeping inside us.” – Sir Thomas Lemuel Hawke
