Bran na torcdubh mac Brude

(Bruce Hanwright)

Active/Inactive

Maighstir Bran na torcdubh mac Bruide was given his entrance to the Order by Ædward I and Yolande I on 11 Apr 2004, at Rowany Festival XXII (8-13 Apr 2004 at Crossroads Medieval Village, Yass, NSW, AU). 

My persona is from Dal Riada, the Irish settlement on the West Coast of (now) Scotland (now called Argyllshire) after a split in the powerful Uí Néill Clan circa 500 AD under Fergus Mór mac Eirc.  My specific period is soon after Kenneth Mac Alpin united the Dal Riadans (Scots/Irish), the Albannach (Northern Picts), the Goddodin (South Eastern Picts) and the Cruithne (Strathclyde Picts) mid 9th Century AD.  I am therefore looking at late 9th Century to early 10th Century. 

My persona is a blend of Scots, Pictish and Irish.  I try to use the ideas from these peoples in my garb and in the accessories I wear, and in the designs I create to decorate them.
