Asil al-Same
In the Middle Ages, the term chatelaine or castellan referred to the commander of the castle. The feminine form, chatelaine was the woman who supervised its daily function and kept the keys. Frequently, she was in charge of hospitality to guests. In Gleann Abhann, we use the term chatelain to refer to the officer who assists newcomers in their efforts to find a place within the Society for Creative Anachronism. Some kingdoms use the term hospitaller instead of chatelain(e).

Welcome Letter From the Chatelaine
Welcome to the Current Middle Ages!
The Chatelaine of the Kingdom of Gleann Abhann’s job is to ensure you have any information you need, and that you feel welcome!
Welcome to the SCA. We are a not for profit, educational organization dedicated to re-creating the Middle ages (pre 1600). Instead of recreating actual medieval events, we try to recreate the times through creating personas that could have lived in that time era.
The first step to joining in the fun is to find your local group. On the kingdom home page is a link to the listing of each group within the kingdom. If you can’t find your home group, please, feel free to contact me via this website, and I can put you in touch with your local chatelain(e).
