Master Gwylym ab Owain is an Elizabethan Welshman. He worked as a gunsmith for the Crown of England and had the position of a Captain of a Pike and Shot Company. Gwylym's mother is of Highland Scots descent of the clan MacOwen of Muscrye.
At present Master Gwylym is travelling the world teaching Fence and studying the military arts.
In the SCA, Gwylym was the Kingdom Marshal of Fence from 1993 until 1996. He was elevated to the Order of the Pelican on 9 Dec 1995. In 1996 after he stepped down as Kingdom Marshal of Fence he helped in preparing the March of Ered Sul for its elevation to Baronial status. He was invested with his Lady wife, Gwenddwyn y Hardd, as founding Baron and Baroness on the 27th of July, 1996. Gwylym is also the Premiere of the Order of the White Scarf of Atenveldt.
Gwylym was recently (Sep 5th 1998) admitted to the Order of the Laurel by TRM Douglas and Amanda (with an intial call/request by TRM Mathghamhain and Katerina).
These days, Gwylym still teaches period fencing, but also dabbles in heavy weapons (armored) combat as well as archery. One of his loves is 16th C. firearms and he produces all of his own firearms (matchlocks and wheellocks).
Well, there isn't much here yet. I'm working on a bunch of things and will get to this when I can. For now you can look at my regular mundane page.
The picture below was taken at the Bill William's Rondevouz, May 1997. Gwylym is in the red & black kilt on the right.
