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
Don Servi di Villano
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.

Baronial Marshal (Armored Combat)
The Honorable Lord Ricart Berenguer Halcon (called Hawk)
The office of the Baronial Marshal is responsible for managing martial activities for the barony. In Caerthe, this means maintaining the loaner gear, making sure we have a site for fighter practices, and helping new fighters learn the basics of heavy combat. If you’re interested in finding out more about heavy fighting, please send an email to marshal@caerthe-sca.org or come out to our Thursday Practice in Denver.
Rapier Marshal
Noble Anne of Østgarðr
The Rapier Marshal attends regular Baronial rapier practice and has a few duties. The marshal is especially responsible to new fighters. They maintain the loaner gear and makes sure everyone has signed the appropriate waiver and inspects fighters’ armor and weapons. They also observe fighting and reports any incidents involving injury and/or broken equipment, such as a broken blade or lost tip.
They also make monthly reports to the seneschal, knight marshal, kingdom rapier marshal, and Baron and Baroness.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging Officer
Lady Lianor da Costa
The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging officer is here to make sure everyone attending events can participate to the best of their ability. The DEIB officer advocates for accommodations for disability, promotes equity based on protected aspects, and helps remove obstacles to participation so that everyone can belong. While problems with other members should be brought to the Seneschal, the DEIB officer can be asked to help mediate when protected aspects are involved.
