As one of Siobhan's apprentices, I feel compelled to speak
on this subject. I personally, have NEVER been MADE to
swear fealty. I am not a peer, so I have never taken an
oath of any kind in the SCA. This is not something that has
been required by either of the two laurels I have been
apprenticed to, or the Crown I served two reign with. Since
I believe swearing an oath of any kind is an extremely
personal choice, whether in the SCA or Real Life, I don't
know of anyone qualified to MAKE me swear anything to
anybody unless it is MY wish to do so.
Siobhan, you may beat me anytime now,
Rhiain
