History of RUSH
The Royal University of Scir-Hafoc (RUSH) of the Kingdom of Calontir organizes classes where people learn about medieval arts, crafts, and history. RUSH was chartered in May of AS XIX (1984) and its first session was held in November of 1984 in the Barony of Three Rivers. The work of many gentles over the intervening years has given the Kingdom an established institution for scholarly pursuits.
Our name, Scir-Hafoc, comes from an Old English term meaning “bright falcon” and is used with the express permission of its creator, Margaret Clark. The acronym “RUSH” seems an apt description of the behavior of the RUSH board on the day of a session. We ask that our name be used only in connection with events planned and executed with the participation of the RUSH Board of Regents.
