'''Barons''' and '''Baronesses''' come in two varieties. The [[honorific]] for Baronial personages is, "Your Excellency"
===Landed Barons/Baronesses===
The first variety is the Landed Baron/Baroness. These [[gentle]]s hold the [[Barony]] for the [[Crown]], and are the [[Royal Presence]] in that Barony when the Crown cannot be there. They are effectively local management. They may hold [[court]]s and reward people with [[Baronial level award]]s. . Landed Barons and Baronesses wear [[coronel]]s usually featuring something that identifies the Barony they represent.

===Court Barons/Baronesses===
The other variety of Baron/Baroness is a [[Court Baron]]/Baroness. The giving of Court Baronies is at the sole discretion of the Crown, and it is usually given to a person who has done a lot for the [[SCA]] but doesn't neatly fit into the requirements of another [[award]]. It is also the [[custom]] to reward Landed B&B's with a [[Court Barony]] when they step down. Court Baron and Baronesses often wear simple [[coronel]]s, or ones which show their personal device or badge.

===Addressing the B&B===
There are several ways to address a Landed Baron or Baroness, including the following examples (using [[Hugh]] and [[Therasa]], B&B [[Stormhold]] as examples):

*Baron Hugh the Little and Baroness Teresa Commins
*Sir Hugh the Little, Baron Stormhold and Lady Teresa Commins, Baroness Stormhold
*Baron and Baroness Stormhold also works.

Polyphony

68.42.113.246: wikified

'''Polyphony''' in [[music]] refers to the use of more than one note at a time to produce harmony. In monophonic music, only one note at a time is used to produce a melody. The addition of one or more additional notes to a simple melody produces harmonic resonance allowing for more complex musical organization, such as chord structures and key progressions.
