About Michael
Michael has been a performer all of his life. He sang his first solo before a large audience at age six and still continues to sing and play to this day. He sings with a group at the church where his brother is the pastor. He also plays bass guitar and baritone horn. Michael has been in law enforcement for almost twenty years here in Southern California. Prior to “Fighting for truth, justice and the American way”, he tried his hand in show biz. He was a professional magician and performed under the names of “The Great Ghost Master, Dr. Silkini” and “The Magical Mind of Michael Jayson”. He has also been a radio disc jockey. Michael started going to Renaissance Faires when Southern Faire was “still held in Agoura”. After a very long absence, he says he is back to stay. He has played the Irish mercenary Alaric McMichael, a catholic priest know as “Father Michael”, and the pirate Captain Mad Morty Roberts. Though he has been a performer almost all of his life, he says his greatest role is being the father of his two sons, Brendan and Preston.

About Louis of Nassau
Louis of Nassau (January 10, 1538 – April 14, 1574) was the third son of William, Count of Nassau, and Juliana of Stolberg and the younger brother of Prince William of Orange Nassau. Louis was a key figure in the revolt of the Netherlands against Spain. Unlike his brother William, he was a strongly convinced Calvinist. He helped his brother in various ways including arranging the marriage between William and his second wife Anna of Saxony. In 1569 William appointed Louis governor of the principality of Orange, giving him an indisputable position in French politics.
