Editing Master/Mistress

A title reserved in the [[SCA]] for members of the [[Order of the Pelican]], [[Order of the Laurel]], [[Defense]], or [[Master at Arms|Masters at Arms]].  They, along with [[Knight|Knights]], who are titled [[Sir]], are referred to as [[peer|peers]] of the realm.  

Variant titles more appropriate to an individual's persona may be used, one of the most commonly encountered being "Dame" in place of "Mistress".   (Please note that unlike modern English titles, female presenting knights in the SCA often go by "Sir".)

Occasionally the heads of [[guild]]s may be referred to as master or mistress (with a lower case m and usually qualified such as "guild master", dance master, or list mistress).
