I do not belong to a household. I am in fealty to Master Kobiyashi. I do
not see that changing. I do expect to try to create a kind of baronial
"household," in emulation of the great medieval household rather than
the SCA-specific institution. Historically, a great household was a very
fluid structure where vassals, retainers, fosterlings, servants, and
guests all passed thru, spent part of their time, got a little mentoring
and social polish in exchange for their service of helping the household
run and making the lord look good by the size of his entourage. (I feel
a seminar coming on.) I do not view this as an "exclusive" kind of
thing, but a way of nurturing people and giving the barony more
pagentry. Part of it would be composed of the baronial guard, pages,
champions, and of course, musicians (can't have a court without 
music!). Elsewhere I have mentioned my ideas about a baronial guard, to
be made up of 2-3 people from each martial art who would be selected
from the most promising up-and-coming fighters to serve for a year or
two, and also baronial pages, which would be promising A&S or
service-oriented people who would serve a similar term. And since we
French are always trying to emulate the Italians, I would want to be a
patron of the arts, encouraging poets and scholars and the like. It is
perfectly period to have a number of significant relationships, multiple
fealties, patrons and clients, so none of this would preclude people
from developing other attachments.
