Seneschal
Lady Roana Campbell
In medieval times, the Seneschal was the steward of a Great House. Seneschals also performed duties similar to a governor or other administrative or judicial officer.
In the SCA, a Seneschal is like the city manager to the Baron and Baroness, who are similar to a city mayor. The Seneschal helps facility the legal aspects of running events, membership, and the general business of the barony.
Exchequer
Lady Lianor da Costa
The office of the exchequer is responsible for all financial activities in the barony. All fund requests, event budgets, deposits, donations, and so on go through the exchequer. The office also reports non-member event attendance. It is one of the most challenging positions in the barony, and also one of the most fulfilling. The office is more of a background office, focused on the bookkeeping rather than meeting everyone in the populace, but it also gives some of the best insight into how the barony operates.

The deputy Arts & Sciences ministers for Caerthe are Lady Isabeau du Rohan and THL Marion Forrester.
Baronial Marshal (Armored Combat)
Lady Astridr Ylgr
The office of the Baronial Marshal is responsible for managing martial activities for the barony.

Rapier Marshal
Don Jehan Mor
The Rapier Marshal attends regular Baronial rapier practice and has a few duties. The marshal is especially responsible to new fighters. He or she maintains the loaner gear and makes sure everyone has signed the appropriate waiver and inspects fighters’ armor and weapons.

He also makes monthly reports to the seneschal, knight marshal, kingdom rapier marshal, and Baron and Baroness.
