She moved to what was then the Canton of Skraeling Althing in the Barony of Skraeling Althing in 1985, and never left except when posted abroad for work. Living in Brazil for two years sparked her interest in the age of exploration and Portuguese colonial history. Her love of medieval Mayan and Spanish history was sparked while living in El Salvador for three years. Her best SCA achievement during that time was producing the Baronial chronicle every month. She has contributed articles to Tournaments Illuminated and the Compleat Anachronist. Siglinde has been event steward many times, enjoys serving at feast as often as possible, loves to teach (especially at Practicum), and can often be found in the kitchen at events throughout the Barony. Her newest amusements are court heraldry, painting and calligraphy.
