Crowned ruler of a territory or country called a
kingdom . Derived from the German word konnen, âto be ableâ. Within the
SCA , the king is chosen in a
Crown Tournament , generally a
double-elimination list . They accept the
Crown from their predecessor at the
coronation ceremony, ruling over one of the more than thirteen SCA regions as administrative and executive head for six months. Each kingdom has from 1,000 - 3,000 people, so the job is a full-time one. At the end of the â
reign â, the
noble is accorded the rank of
count (1 reign) or
duke (2+ reigns).
