Chronological List of Golden Swans
Golden Swans are listed by the year they competed successfully, the name of their Golden Swan persona (many have different personas in their regular SCA life) and the legal name they used at the time of their entry.
The country indicated is the modern nation rather than the way that territory might have been designated in the time of the persona.
The date of birth for each persona needs no explanation. The date listed as "Currently" is the year it was for that persona when they went through Golden Swan. (See Note at the bottom of the page)
Only successful candidates are listed.

Note: Many cultures have not reckoned time or age as we do, and in a persona's speech and even her persona introduction and documentation, this will be reflected. We expect that, and don't demand that a person who might reckon time by lunar cycles or the Chinese zodiac years use the modern Gregorian calendar. However, on the paperwork that accompanies each entry, we do ask for modern names and the calendar years as reckoned in our current system, so we have a common reference point for all personas. Even if your research leads you to believe that your persona's culture did not keep track of age or time, we need this information for the purposes of the contest. Most people have some way of telling time, more or less, and remembering the passage of time.
