Baroness Meave Douglass, OL joined the SCA in 1995 as a founding member of the Incipient College of Saint Ursula. She remained active in the Barony of Calafia, until the mundane world brought her to Gyldenholt. Meave and her husband, Theo van der Zee, moved in 2005 to the Shire of Caer Adamant, in the East Kingdom, and played both there and in the Kingdom of Atlantia before returning to Gyldenholt in 2008.

On 6/6/2015, Meave was elevated to the Order of the Laurel by Mansur II and Eilidh II for Research and Period Dyes.

Persona

Meave Douglass is a 14th Century Scot living in the Lanarkshire region, but she inexplicably spends most of her time studying Norse and Anglo-Saxon textiles from the 7th-10th century. Her interests include research, period dyes, weaving, and embroidery.
