====== House Addis ====== **House Addis**, also called **House Addis North**, was a household located in the lands formerly held by [[history:former_groups:harrowgate_heath|Harrowgate Heath]]. House Addis was a Brotherhood of like-minded people who enjoy many aspects of the SCA. Though the founders were connected by [[activities:martial:armoured_combat|heavy fighting]], House Addis quickly evolved into a service-oriented household. However, it remained a diverse group, with members who were interested in many forms of [[activities:martial:start|martial arts]] as well as those more interested in the [[activities:arts_sciences:start|arts and sciences]] than in getting into armour. The members of House Addis did not swear fidelity to any one person, rather they promise to encourage and support each other as a band of brothers and sisters. One had to feel comfortable enough to ask for membership, at which point it was put to the vote of the Household members. =====History===== Lady Morag was for many years squired to Sir Gunther Addis, a Knight in the Kingdom of [[scaism:knowne_world|Atlantia]]. She formed House Addis as a "cousin" household to Sir Gunther's house. It was formed on December 8th, AS 45 by nine friends who had fought and laughed side by side for more than a year. The founding nine members were: Morag, Martin, Nathaniel, Catherine, Kaðlín, Cennédig, Stephen, Bridget and Michael. In the years following, members came and went as newer folks found House Addis to be a primary place to belong, or established members left to join other households or strike out on their own. As Sir Gunther Addis is the head of a separate House Addis in Atlantia, the house in Ealdormere was sometimes referred to as House Addis North in order to differentiate the two houses. Although united by friendship, the two are separate houses. The members of House Addis North have not sworn fidelity to Sir Gunther, and they consider themselves to be an Ealdormere Household. Most members of House Addis always lived in the Canton of [[history:former_groups:Harrowgate Heath]]. Because Harrowgate Heath was a rural canton, with many members who had a hard time making it out to activities in the population centers of the barony, House Addis was a unifying group for the folks who lived there. By the time said canton was dissolved in AS 54, most members of House Addis were no longer active and the household functionally ceased to exist. =====Members===== **Current Members** * TH Lady Morag Tayler (founding member) * Lord Martin Brua (founding member) * Lord [[people:Nathaniel Jonessone]] ‘the Dane' (founding member) * Lady Catherine Rose Lamont (founding member) * Lord Michael Eastbrooke (founding member) * Lord Magnus Strykwind * Lord Gottfried Von Hengstgerg * Lady Laili of Harrowgate Heath * Lord Michel du Maine **Sadly Missed** * Lady Aevianna Nordenge * Lady Bridget of Cornwall (founding member) * Lord Stephen of Cornwall (founding member) **Former Members, now Friends of the House** * TH Lady [[people:Gwendolyn of Aldburg]] * TH Lady [[people:Jane Caldwell]] **Former Members** * Lady Kaðlin Konálsdottir (founding member) * Lord Cennèdig of Flichesburg (founding member) [{{media:heraldry:group_heraldry:house_addis_north_badge.png?200px|House Addis Badge: //Or, an ax bendwise gules within an orle of mullets of six points azure.//}}]
