Welcome to the Barony of Marinus

Their Excellencies bid you welcome to the Barony of Marinus in the Kingdom of Atlantia. The Barony serves historical reenactors in the cities of Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk and Virginia Beach, Virginia.

As part of The Society for Creative Anachronism, our members focus on the research, reenactment and preservation of the culture, art and skills of the Medieval world. With over 30,000 members worldwide, The Society is a not-for-profit educational resource for all those interested in experiencing a part of the Middle Ages in our modern world.

Whether you are just beginning your journey or are coming to our Barony from another far corner of the Knowne World, we invite you to join us for one of our weekly meetings. For more information, please contact our Chatelaine, check our Baronial calendar, or visit our official FB page.
