I’m going to be making an effort to get more of my scroll words up and then organizing them adding.

This was the 2nd words I did, in this case helping out my friend Cezilia 

I always like starting with the award recommendation, which in this case was pretty good in giving items things to work with.

Giuseppe Pallido became involved with the SCA here in the Barony of Carolingia three or four years ago. He took up fencing, and has become a member of the Carolingian Calivers. He is an excellent cook, and has begun experimenting with making medieval foods. He took up sewing to begin making his own garb – and take some of the strain off his lady wife! He has dived deep into research, as well, to really flesh out his late Italian persona. His wife is involved in the Middle Eastern community, and so he has begun drumming to take part in that too. You might say he’s a bit of a Renaissance Man! He’s a wonderful addition to our Society, and I think it’s a better place for having him in it.

I always like interesting names and gravitated towards Giuseppe last name,

Pallido is an Italian word found in Florio’s 1611 Italian Dictionary with the meaning “pale, wanne-colored, fallow, bleak. ” That can be worked with 🙂

After a bit of back and forth this is what I came up with:


Caoilfhionn Autokratera and Brennan  Autokrator, to all our faithful in the present and the future, greetings.   Having heard of these rare events, concerning the good and worthy deeds of our pale and languid subject Giuseppe Pallido, not the least of which being the preparations of those foods worthy to grace our halls, and practice of the arts of defense within our Company of  Carolingian Calivers, We do now by the present letters order and charge that the said pallid Giuseppe be awarded Arms, and further command him to consult with our  heralds forthwith.  So that he may bear these arms from this day forward unhindered and inviolate, we have signed this charter with the subscription by our own hands. Done upon 15th September, at the Falling Leaves Baronial investiture in our Barony of Carolingia.
