My new concern is that (from what others have stated) that they were
*eminently* capable of being a Barony, yet they *deliberately* chose a
modern, egalitarian model; instead of a Medieval (or even Rennaissance) one.
This bothers me, on several levels.
Now, I admit, this is an assumption...but, IMHO, we gather together in the
SCA to enjoy the *differences* between the Modern, Mundane world, and a
Medieval/Rennaissance model (choose your favorite one; but Feudalism is the
accepted standard.)
This group fought (and won), an argument *against* the Medieval model, in
preference to a Modern one.
This appears to lay the onus not only on the originating group, but on the
Kingdom Leadership that allowed it.
I continue to be disturbed, and disappointed.

I recall the Dutch in Renaissance having models such as this. So I don't
think it is so far fetched or "modern" as you might think. Thou the Dutch were
really ahead of their time in all aspects. LOL
