Interested parties should submit their SCA resume and a letter of intent by July 1, 2026 to the Kingdom Earl Marshal, Their Royal Majesties, and the Kingdom Seneschal.   This position will start at July Coronation 2026 and last for two years. 

The role of the Earl Marshal is an administrative and advising position currently overseeing all martial activities within the Kingdom of An Tir, plus the work of lists and authorization data entry volunteers.  The Earl Marshal works with those subject matter experts to ensure a consistent approach to safe and enjoyable martial arts participation by approximately 1000 residents of our Kingdom.  General responsibilities for the Earl Marshal as a Greater Officer of State, are explained in Kingdom Law, Article III.C, (items 1-4).  The specific duties are in item (5c) stated below, and the direct deputies of the Earl Marshal are in item (5d).    

An Tir’s martial manuals state that if you are warranted as the Earl Marshal:      

1. “You must be an authorized senior marshal in one or more combat disciplines for a minimum of three years, and agree to serve as Earl Marshal.  (The Crown may waive the time limit.)   

2. Per Article III.C  (item 5c) of Kingdom Law the KEM’s duties include:   

• Representing the Crown in the Crown’s absence in order to supervise fighting on a field of honor.    

• Interpreting and maintaining the martial standards and regulations of the Kingdom.    

• Facilitating the education of the populace with the aim of encouraging authentic, safe, fair, and chivalric combat activities to the greatest extent possible.  

3. It is strongly recommended that the KEM not simultaneously hold any of the other Kingdom marshal officer roles, including that of Kingdom Armored Marshal.  This will allow the KEM to devote more equitable attention to all of An Tir’s martial activities.  

4. You must complete quarterly reports to An Tir’s Monarchs, the Royal Heirs (if applicable), the Kingdom Seneschal, and the Society Earl Marshal, regarding the state of fighting in An Tir.  See item (B) for when this report is due.   

5. If disciplinary action that extends beyond the bounds of a single event is taken against a fighter in your Kingdom (e.g., authorizations suspended or revoked or a Court of Chivalry), you must make a brief account to the Society Earl Marshal of what was done, to whom, and why.  (If more information is needed, for example because of an appeal of the action, the Society Earl Marshal will let you know.)  

6. Either individual warrants must be provided for each member of the marshallate in your kingdom, or a roster must be maintained as explained by the Kingdom Seneschal.  This task may be delegated to the Kingdom Martial Authorization Officer.  

7. Answer correspondence from the marshals of An Tir.
