==SCA Order of Precedence==
In the [[SCA]], the order of Precedence is a listing of all the people who have received [[award]]s, ordered from the highest ranking to the lowest. Ranking (or precedence) is determined by the highest level of award received, and the date an award of that level was first given to the recipient. The earlier a person received an award, the higher they appear on the order of precedence.

Generally speaking, the SCA Order of Precedence is, from highest to lowest:

*[[King]] and [[Queen]] of the [[Kingdom]] in question
*[[King]]s and [[Queen]]s of other Kingdoms
*[[Prince]]s and [[Princess]]ess, usually local first, then foreign
* [[Duke]]s and [[Duchess]]s
* [[Count]]s and [[Countess]]es
* [[Viscount]]s and [[Viscountess]]es
* Bestowed [[peer|Peerage]]s
*In Kingdom [[Grant of Arms|Grant Bearing Awards]] (if any)
* [[Grant of Arms|Grants of Arms]]
*In Kingdom [[Award of Arms|AoA Bearing Awards]] (if any)
* [[Award of Arms|Awards of Arms]]
* non-armigerous awards

Note that if person A had received a [[laurel]] and a [[pelican]] in the last year, an person B had received a [[laurel]] three years ago, person B would be ranked higher, having reached peerage level first. The fact that someone has obtained a second award at a certain level does not add to their precedence.

The sitting [[Royalty]] rank above all others on the Order of Precedence. Individual [[kingdom]]s may have additional rank gradations for [[Kingdom Level Award]]s and [[Baronial Level Award]]s. For example, [[An Tir]] has a permanent award, the Lion of An Tir, which ranks higher than a [[Duke]] or [[Duchess]] within An Tir. An Tir also includes Landed and formerly [[Landed Baron]]s and Baronesses on its order of precedence.

There is also a wide variation as to the treatment of [[Court Barony|Court Baronies]]. For example, in the [[East]] it may be given with '''or''' without a [[Grant of Arms]], which can affect the placement of the recipient rather dramatically.

[[Great Officer|Kingdom Officer]]s are sometimes given a place of precedence.
