Jǫfurr Rauðsson

Persona

Baron Jǫfurr Rauðsson (also called Joffr Rödson) is a 10th century Norman lord. Between Etretat and Le Havre, near the coast of Normandy, there is a small commune, and the estate is called Kaerbrok - the fortress of the badger. This area is named after a companion of Jarl Hroflr Ganger (Rollo, Duke of Normandy) who was only known as The Badger. His descendants, of whom Joffr is one, built fortified towns up and down the coast to harvest the rich bounty that is Normandy. There you will find Joffr, with his motte and bailey castle and world class apiary, overseeing the farming and works to keep his Captain's lands well kept. The 10th century is one of upheaval - still in the midst of settling his lands wrought by his father, there are threats from Flanders, putting down rebellions in Bretony, and help strengthen Richard the Fearless' control over the territory.

Whereabouts

Jǫfurr currently resides in the Canton of Greyfells, in the Barony of Skraeling Althing.

SCA History

Jǫfurr joined the SCA during the reign of Roak V and Elizabeth I. His first event was War of the Trillium on one of the last times in Whitby. He enjoys weird and intricate arts and sciences, and revels in the mysteries of the past. His one great project is to recreate all artifacts found in one 11th-century dig (at Lake Paladru) some 700km away from his home.

Jǫfurr is apprenticed to Maistresse Alais de Poitiers.
