Dagonell's Web Page

Scadianly, I am THF Dagonell Collingwood of Emerald Lake I reside in the Æthelmearc Kingdom, in the Shire of Heronter. Under normal circumstances, an individual who has earned a Grant of Arms would be addressed as "The Honorable Lord (Lady)". Since my court jester persona would never be addressed by such a title, I avoided using it. The heralds called me into court as "The Honorable Fool" and I've been holding them to it ever since! :D I've earned another title since, but I still prefer this one.

Historically, My medieval persona is Dagonell the Juggler, a wandering jongleur from England's War of the Roses, who, while trying desperately to stay out of England's War of the Roses, signed up as a sailor aboard the merchant ship, The Sea Lion

My interests in the Society include, but are not limited to:
• Armor & Chainmail: In addition to building my own heavy weapons armor, I've made hauberks, coifs, chainmail bikinis, a teddy-bear hauberk, juggling balls, and a vest made from beer can tabs! I'm currently making chainmail jewelry to sell on E-bay.
• Bardic Circles: Dagonell's Bardic Notebook
• Blacksmithing & Metalworking: I've actually spent a summer working for a real-life third generation blacksmith. It was hard work, but I loved it. My mundane friends think I'm crazy. :D I've recently joined the New York State Designer Blacksmiths. I'm loving it!
• Cooking & Brewing: I not only brew my own beer and mead, I also redact, or "modernize" medieval recipes. You can read them at my Medieval Recipes webpage. I'm a member of The Worshipful Company of AEthelmearc Cooks and Bakers

• Heraldry: I recently stepped down as White Horn Herald for the Western New York region of AEthelmearc. I help out the local heralds and write commentary on the Internal Letters of Intent. They can be found at the AEthelmearc Heralds website.
• Juggling & Magic: The International Juggling Association's 52th Annual National Convention was sponsored by the Buffalo Juggling Club at Niagara Falls in the summer of 99! I was listed in the program as one of the guest hosts! Cool!

• Seamanship: The Sea Lion merchant sailing ship mentioned in my persona story is real. It's a historical replica of a 16th century Barque. I've spent so much time aboard her, that I incorporated her into my persona story. Her story can be found at Project Sealion
