Dr. Robert Holland, also known as Prince of the Mists, exemplifies the essence of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), an organization dedicated to studying and practicing medieval arts. Meeting weekly at the Rockridge BART station, Holland and other members engage in medieval combat with a focus on honor and historical accuracy. While SCA activities have evolved into a global community of over 30,000 members, Holland reflects on the juxtaposition of medieval practices occurring in a modern urban landscape, reminiscent of the group's origins nearly six decades ago in Berkeley.
The Society for Creative Anachronism, formed nearly 60 years ago in the Bay Area, encourages historical studies and medieval combat in a modern setting.
Though the Society for Creative Anachronism focuses on historical accuracy, its activities starkly contrast with the contemporary urban environment of the Rockridge BART station.
