Meadhbh inghean Ui Chléirigh

Lady Maedhbh leads the Kingdom Brewer’s Guild, and serves the Dominion as Chancellor of Youth as well as Minister of Social Media and an archery marshal. She was inducted into the Order of the Keystone for her service in a thriving youth program.

She was inducted into the Order of the Sycamore for her efforts with making garb, mead, and medieval food. She often poses redaction challenges where a she offers a medieval recipe for interpretation, and those who participate create a possible dish based on that, then meet to taste and compare ideas and results.

Maedhbh joined the SCA in 1990 while a college student, participated for a number of years with calligraphy and illumination, then moved to California for a decade. Now that she’s back in New York, she has taken up cooking and recipe redaction, making mead from her own bees’ honey, and the management of youth activities.
