<div>A '''reign''' is the period during which a [[monarch]] rules.<br />
<br />
In most [[SCA]] [[Kingdoms]], the [[King]] and [[Queen]] reign for six months at a time.<br />
This means that King and Queen of [[Lochac]] and [[Ealdormere]], for example, only have to travel the vast distances of their kingdoms for six months before their successors take over.<br />
<br />
This is generally considered a kindness for the monarchs' vehicles, and for the monarchs themselves.</div>69.198.82.41https://cunnan.lochac.sca.org/index.php?title=Reign&diff=12283Reign2005-10-09T19:30:54Z<p>69.198.82.41: </p>

<hr />
<div>A '''viscount''' is a [[noble]] who is [[rank]]ed higher than a [[baron]] but below a [[count]]. Traditionally, they are the son or younger brother of a count. <br />
In [[England]], the [[title]] was also used after the [[Norman conquest]] for the [[Shire]] [[Reeve]] or [[sheriff]]. A [[viscountess]] is a female viscount.<br />
<br />
In the [[SCA]], a viscount is a person who has ruled a [[principality]] at least once. They are referred to as "Your Excellency" and wear a [[coronet]] of their choice, most commonly with [[pearl]]s.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Barons''' and '''Baronesses''' come in two varieties. The [[honorific]] for Baronial personages is, "Your Excellency"<br />
===Landed Barons/Baronesses===<br />
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.<br />
<br />
===Court Barons/Baronesses===<br />
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.<br />
<br />
===Addressing the B&B===<br />
There are several ways to address a Landed Baron or Baroness, including the following examples (using Hugh and Therasa, the fifth B&B [[Stormhold]], as examples):<br />
<br />
*Baron Hugh the Little and Baroness Teresa Commins<br />
*Sir Hugh the Little, Baron Stormhold and Lady Teresa Commins, Baroness Stormhold<br />
*Baron and Baroness Stormhold also works.<br />

<hr />
<div>When speaking to the [[King]] or the [[Queen]], the proper form of address is ''your Majesty'' (or ''your Majesties''). When speaking to the [[Prince]] or [[Princess]], whether they are the rulers of a [[Principality]] or the heirs of a [[Kingdom]], address them as ''your Highness''.<br />
<br />
It is customary to [[bow]] or [[curtsey]] to royalty when they pass by. Certainly bow or curtsey before approaching their throne at [[court]]. Depending on your kingdom, it may also be customary to pause and give a short bow even if you are merely passing in front of the thrones or royal pavilion. (The definition, in terms of distance, of "in front of" is left to the discretion of the reader.)<br />
<br />
Royalty can usually be recognized by the [[crown]]s or [[coronet]]s they wear, their spiffy [[garb]], and the presence of a [[retinue]] of [[attendant]]s.<br />

<hr />
<div>==Kings in the SCA==<br />
In the [[SCA]], the choice of who will next [[becoming king|become King]] is determined by victory in the [[Crown tournament]], except in exceptional circumstances. The King uses the [[arms]] of the Kingdom, the [[Royal]] [[crown]] and other [[regalia]] for the duration of the [[reign]].<br />
<br />
When a King steps down, he becomes a [[Count]] (or a variant appropriate to his [[persona]]) if he has reigned once and a [[Duke]] if he has reigned twice or more.<br />
<br />
When [[Addressing Royalty|speaking to the King or the Queen]], the proper form of address is your Majesty (or your Majesties). <br />

<hr />
<div>Encompassing most of the province of Ontario, [[Canada]], '''Ealdormere''' became the sixteenth [[kingdom]] of the [[Known World]] in October, [[A.S. XXXIII]] (1998). Before this, from [[A.S. XXIII]] (1988) to [[A.S. XXXIII]], Ealdormere was a [[principality]] of the [[Midrealm]], encompassing several pre-existing [[baronies]].<br />
<br />
Ealdormere's symbols are the Trillium (a three-pointed white flower common to the region) and the [[wolf]]. Ealdormereans often use the term "the [[Northlands]]" as a synonym for Ealdormere (this is possibly a reference to the Canadian national anthem, or to the local popularity of [[Norse]] personas).<br />
<br />
By long tradition, Ealdormere always fights alongside the Kingdom of the [[Middle]] in the [[Pennsic]] War under their own banners.<br />

<br />
== The Ban on Regions ==<br />
As recorded in the third and fourth books of the [http://history.ealdormere.ca/coe/books/index.html Chronicles of Eoforwic]., the creation of Ealdormere as a [[Crown Principality]] was a matter of some controversy. When the [[Eoforwic]] [[herald|Pursuivant]], James MacAndrews first submitted this proposal by letter in January [[A.S. XX]] (1986), King Alen Elegil of the Midrealm responded by calling a hurried meeting with his advisors. The so-called Washroom Curia (this Curia was widely rumoured to have been held in a public restroom at an event) resulted in the issuing of the infamous "Ban on Regions". Published in the April [[A.S. XX]] edition of [[the Pale]], this edict attempted to halt the effort toward creating local regions within the Midrealm by forbidding the use of local "regional" organizations beyond those [[Shires]] and [[Baronies]] recognized by the [[Crown]]. Combined with a change in Kingdom Law raising the requirements for becoming a Crown Principality dramatically, the practical effect of the Ban was merely to alienate the people of Ealdormere by forbidding even the name "Ealdormere" from open use. The region of [[Northshield]] was also affected by the Ban.<br />
<br />
Shortly thereafter, James Macandrews stripped of the office of Eoforwic Pursuivant by the Dragon Herald; while the reasons given were unrelated to his proposal, in Ealdormere it was widely seen as a punitive act done on the orders of King Alen. Rather than discourage the pro-principality faction, however, these events only strengthened an underground commitment to greater independance from the Midrealm. A number of poems and songs written during and after [http://www.bards.ca/songbooks/hector/Rise.htm "the dismal years of silence"] illustrate this point, in particular the popular and well-received [http://history.ealdormere.ca/coe/books/3-6.html "Doom of Ealdormere"] by Baron Aedan.<br />
<br />
While the Principality requirements would be slightly eased by King Alen in [[A.S. XXI]], the Ban itself remained in effect until the 17th Pennsic War in [[A.S. XXIII]] (1988). At the [[War Court]], King Corwin of the Middle granted a charter making Ealdormere a Crown Principality.<br />
<br />
The effect of the Ban on Regions is still felt in many Ealdormerean traditions today. The [[King]] and [[Queen]] of Ealdormere are styled "Their Lupine Majesties", a reference to the spirit of the wolf which carried Ealdormere through the years of King Alen's proscription. Musical, poetic and bardic references to the time of the Ban on Regions abound, and Ealdormereans remain fiercely proud and protective of their independance.<br />

<div>==Kings in the SCA==<br />
In the [[SCA]], the choice of who will next [[becoming king|become King]] is determined by victory in the [[Crown tournament]], except in exceptional circumstances. The King uses the [[arms]] of the Kingdom, the [[Royal]] [[crown]] and other [[regalia]] for the duration of the [[reign]].<br />
<br />
When a King steps down, he becomes a [[Count]] (or a variant appropriate to his [[persona]]) if he has reigned once and a [[Duke]] if he has reigned twice or more.<br />
<br />
When speaking to the King or the Queen, the proper form of address is your Majesty (or your Majesties). <br />

<hr />
<div>Encompassing most of the province of Ontario, [[Canada]], '''Ealdormere''' became the sixteenth [[kingdom]] of the [[Known World]] in October, [[A.S. XXXIII]] (1998). Before this, from [[A.S. XXIII]] (1988) to [[A.S. XXXIII]], Ealdormere was a [[principality]] of the [[Midrealm]], encompassing several pre-existing [[baronies]].<br />
<br />
Ealdormere's symbols are the Trillium (a three-pointed white flower common to the region) and the [[wolf]]. Ealdormereans often use the term "the [[Northlands]]" as a synonym for Ealdormere (this is possibly a reference to the Canadian national anthem, or to the local popularity of [[Norse]] personas).<br />
<br />
By long tradition, Ealdormere always fights alongside the Kingdom of the [[Middle]] in the [[Pennsic]] War under their own banners.<br />

<br />
<br />
== The Ban on Regions ==<br />
As recorded in the third and fourth books of the [http://history.ealdormere.ca/coe/books/index.html Chronicles of Eoforwic]., the creation of Ealdormere as a [[Crown Principality]] was a matter of some controversy. When the [[Eoforwic]] [[herald|Pursuivant]], James MacAndrews first submitted this proposal by letter in January [[A.S. XX]] (1986), King Alen Elegil of the Midrealm responded by calling a hurried meeting with his advisors. The so-called Washroom Curia (this Curia was widely rumoured to have been held in a public restroom at an event) resulted in the issuing of the infamous "Ban on Regions". Published in the April [[A.S. XX]] edition of [[the Pale]], this edict attempted to halt the effort toward creating local regions within the Midrealm by forbidding the use of local "regional" organizations beyond those [[Shires]] and [[Baronies]] recognized by the [[Crown]]. Combined with a change in Kingdom Law raising the requirements for becoming a Crown Principality dramatically, the practical effect of the Ban was merely to alienate the people of Ealdormere by forbidding even the name "Ealdormere" from open use. The region of [[Northshield]] was also affected by the Ban.<br />
<br />
Shortly thereafter, James Macandrews stripped of the office of Eoforwic Pursuivant by the Dragon Herald; while the reasons given were unrelated to his proposal, in Ealdormere it was widely seen as a punitive act done on the orders of King Alen. Rather than discourage the pro-principality faction, however, these events only strengthened an underground commitment to greater independance from the Midrealm. A number of poems and songs written during and after [http://www.bards.ca/songbooks/hector/Rise.htm "the dismal years of silence"] illustrate this point, in particular the popular and well-received [http://history.ealdormere.ca/coe/books/3-6.html "Doom of Ealdormere"] by Baron Aedan.<br />
<br />
While the Principality requirements would be slightly eased by King Alen in [[A.S. XXI]], the Ban itself remained in effect until the 17th Pennsic War in [[A.S. XXIII]] (1988). At the [[War Court]], King Corwin of the Middle granted a charter making Ealdormere a Crown Principality.<br />
<br />
The effect of the Ban on Regions is still felt in many Ealdormerean traditions today. The [[King]] and [[Queen]] of Ealdormere are styled "Their Lupine Highnesses", a reference to the spirit of the wolf which carried Ealdormere through the years of King Alen's proscription. Musical, poetic and bardic references to the time of the Ban on Regions abound, and Ealdormereans remain fiercely proud and protective of their independance.<br />

<hr />
<div>Encompassing most of the province of Ontario, [[Canada]], '''Ealdormere''' became the sixteenth [[kingdom]] of the [[Known World]] in October, [[A.S. XXXIII]] (1998). Before this, from [[A.S. XXIII]] (1988) to [[A.S. XXXIII]], Ealdormere was a [[principality]] of the [[Midrealm]], encompassing several pre-existing [[baronies]].<br />
<br />
Ealdormere's symbols are the Trillium (a three-pointed white flower common to the region) and the [[wolf]]. Ealdormereans often use the term "the [[Northlands]]" as a synonym for Ealdormere (this is possibly a reference to the Canadian national anthem, or to the local popularity of [[Norse]] personas).<br />
<br />
By long tradition, Ealdormere always fights alongside the Kingdom of the [[Middle]] in the [[Pennsic]] War under their own banners.<br />

[[Gules]], a trillium flower [[affronty]] [[argent]], [[barbed]] [[vert]], within a [[laurel wreath]], in [[chief]] a [[coronet]] [[argent]].<br />
<br />
== The Ban on Regions ==<br />
As recorded in the third and fourth books of the [http://history.ealdormere.ca/coe/books/index.html Chronicles of Eoforwic]., the creation of Ealdormere as a [[Crown Principality]] was a matter of some controversy. When the [[Eoforwic]] Pursuivant [[herald]] James MacAndrews first submitted this proposal by letter in January [[A.S. XX]] (1986), King Alen Elegil of the Midrealm responded by calling a hurried meeting with his advisors. The so-called Washroom Curia (this Curia was widely rumoured to have been held in a public restroom at an event) resulted in the issuing of the infamous "Ban on Regions". Published in the April [[A.S. XX]] edition of [[the Pale]], this edict attempted to halt the effort toward creating local regions within the Midrealm by forbidding the use of local "regional" organizations beyond those [[Shires]] and [[Baronies]] recognized by the [[Crown]]. Combined with a change in Kingdom Law raising the requirements for becoming a Crown Principality dramatically, the practical effect of the Ban was merely to alienate the people of Ealdormere by forbidding even the name "Ealdormere" from open use. The region of [[Northshield]] was also affected by the Ban.<br />
<br />
Shortly thereafter, James Macandrews stripped of the office of Eoforwic Pursuivant by the Dragon Herald; while the reasons given were unrelated to his proposal, in Ealdormere it was widely seen as a punitive act done on the orders of King Alen. Rather than discourage the pro-principality faction, however, these events only strengthened an underground commitment to greater independance from the Midrealm. A number of poems and songs written during and after [http://www.bards.ca/songbooks/hector/Rise.htm "the dismal years of silence"] illustrate this point, in particular the popular and well-received [http://history.ealdormere.ca/coe/books/3-6.html "Doom of Ealdormere"] by Baron Aedan.<br />
<br />
While the Principality requirements would be slightly eased by King Alen in [[A.S. XXI]], the Ban itself remained in effect until the 17th Pennsic War in [[A.S. XXIII]] (1988). At the [[War Court]], King Corwin of the Middle granted a charter making Ealdormere a Crown Principality.<br />
<br />
The effect of the Ban on Regions is still felt in many Ealdormerean traditions today. The [[King]] and [[Queen]] of Ealdormere are styled "Their Lupine Highnesses", a reference to the spirit of the wolf which carried Ealdormere through the years of King Alen's proscription. Musical, poetic and bardic references to the time of the Ban on Regions abound, and Ealdormereans remain fiercely proud and protective of their independance.<br />

Shortly thereafter, James Macandrews stripped of the office of Eoforwic Pursuivant by the Dragon Herald; while the reasons given were unrelated to his proposal, in Ealdormere it was widely seen as a punitive act done on the orders of King Alen.

While the [[Crown Principality]] requirements would be slightly eased by King Alen in [[A.S. XXI]], the Ban itself remained in effect until the 17th Pennsic War in [[A.S. XXIII]] (1988). At that War Court, King Corwin of the Middle granted a charter making Ealdormere a Crown Principality.<br />
<br />
The effect of the Ban on Regions is still felt in many Ealdormerean traditions today.

<div>Encompassing most of the province of Ontario, [[Canada]], '''Ealdormere''' became the sixteenth [[kingdom]] of the [[Known World]] in October, [[A.S. XXXIII]] (1998).<br />
<br />
Encompassing most of the province of Ontario, Canada, Ealdormere became the sixteenth kingdom of the Known World in October, A.S. XXXIII (1998). Before this, from A.S. XXIII (1988) to A.S. XXXIII, Ealdormere was a [[principality]] of the [[Midrealm]], encompassing several pre-existing baronies.<br />
<br />
Ealdormere's symbols are the Trillium (a three-pointed white flower common to the region) and the [[wolf]]. Ealdormereans often use the term "the Northland" as a synonym for Ealdormere (this is possibly a reference to the Canadian national anthem, or to the popularity of [[Norse]] personas in the Kingdom).<br />
<br />
By long tradition, Ealdormere always fights alongside the Kingdom of the [[Middle]] in the [[Pennsic]] Wars under their own banners.<br />
<br />
<br />
== The Arms of Ealdormere ==<br />
[[Gules]], a trillium flower [[affronty]] [[argent]], [[barbed]] [[vert]], within a [[laurel wreath]], in [[chief]] a [[coronet]] [[argent]].<br />
<br />
<br />
== The Ban on Regions ==<br />
As recorded in the third and fourth books of the [http://history.ealdormere.ca/coe/books/index.html Chronicles of Eoforwic]., the creation of Ealdormere as a [[Crown Principality]] was a matter of some controversy. When the Eoforwic Pursuivant [[herald]] James MacAndrews first submitted this proposal by letter in January [[A.S. XX]] (1986), King Alen Elegil of the Midrealm responded by calling a hurried meeting with his advisors. The so-called Washroom Curia (this Curia was widely rumoured to have been held in a public restroom at an event) resulted in the issuing of the infamous "Ban on Regions". Published in the April [[A.S. XX]] edition of [[the Pale]], this edict attempted to halt the effort toward creating local regions within the Midrealm by forbidding the use of local "regional" organizations beyond those [[Shires]] and [[Baronies]] recognized by the [[Crown]]. Combined with a change in Kingdom Law raising the requirements for becoming a Crown Principality dramatically, the practical effect of the Ban was to forbid the even name "Ealdormere" from open use.<br />
<br />
Shortly thereafter, James Macandrews stripped of the office of Eoforwic Pursuivant by the Dragon Herald; while the reasons given were unrelated to his proposal, in Ealdormere it was widely seen as a punitive act done on the orders of King Alen. Rather than discourage the people of Ealdormere, however, these events only strengthened an underground commitment to greater independance from the Midrealm. A number of poems and songs written during and after [http://www.bards.ca/songbooks/hector/Rise.htm "the dismal years of silence"] that illustrate this point, in particular the popular and well-received "Doom of Ealdormere" by Baron Aedan.<br />
<br />
While the [[Crown Principality]] requirements would be slightly eased by King Alen in [[A.S. XXI]], the Ban itself remained in effect until the 17th Pennsic War in [[A.S. XXIII]] (1988). At that War Court, King Corwin of the Middle granted a charter making Ealdormere a Crown Principality.<br />
<br />
The effect of the Ban on Regions is still felt in many Ealdormerean traditions today. The [[King]] and [[Queen]] of Ealdormere are styled "Their Lupine Highnesses", a reference to the spirit of the wolf which carried Ealdormere through the years of King Alen's proscription. Musical, poetic and bardic references to the time of the Ban on Regions abound, and Ealdormereans remain fiercely proud and protective of their independance.<br />
