And so too remain the hounds in the Kingdom of Artemisia. It goes like this: 1. Minister of the Royal Stables of Artemisia: the Kingdom Equestrian Officer as deputy to the Earl Marshal overseeing all animal activities within the kingdom used in the reenactment of pre-17th century life involving the hunt, joust/carousel and/or wartime training. 2. Regent of the Hound: deputy to the MOTRS overseeing all hounds related activities, their safety and education and making of kennel mistresses/masters. 3. Regent of the Horse: is the MOTRS overseeing all horse related activities, their safety and education, and making of Equestrian Marshals. 4. Regent of the Hawk: deputy to the MOTRS overseeing al hawking and falconry activities, their safety and education. Consider that much of what we do in the SCA has no real representation in history... Lords and Ladys were much above Mistresses and Masters in period. Knights were not separated into Laurels, Pelicans and the Chivalry. It's the SCA, what can I say? And, in the SCA we have no peasants, plagues and prisons. So there is a lot of good in the current middle ages. Please don't take this as a rant. Historically, those persons overseeing animal activities would be mareschals and those overseeing laws (visualize the insurance guidelines here) would be called constables. Now would anyone here like to see your kingdom constable oversee the legal representation of your hound activities... current vaccinations, safety guidelines for camping, etc? Not me. I believe the kingdom stables office is the perfect place. The office is already animal oriented and prepared to handle marshaled activities and these marshals are deputies to the office. It is easy to bring in the hounds with lure-operators... a marshal of sorts... into the fold. We call them kennel mistress/masters in our kingdom. Yes, the historical peasants kept their hogs and chickens out the back door (garbage disposables) and flocks of sheep on the hill side, but more than likely only one side of the village/shire/barony was home to the stables, kennels and mews. And, those critters kept in the stables, kennels and mews belonged to the nobles ruling the village/shire/barony. Therefore, I believe a more accurate representation of times past might be one office (group of like minded people on the same side) overseeing all animal activities. This office should have deputies in each of the areas of expertise... see above example. IMO, this is an Earl Marshal office onto itself and one of the reasons I believe the equestrian activities should come out from under the Earl Marshal's office. But, that is another subject, one of which I will not address in this post. I will say here that I believe all of our play in the SCA is related to Art and all of what we do fits somewhere in the A&S department. That said I believe that like the horse activities, the hound activities need to be represented by a marshal of sorts, for the mere reason that we must deal with safety and health.
