Coronet (Regalia)
An ornamental circlet, signifying the position of the wearer. Usually refers specifically to a circlet that indicates rank less than Royalty, such as Princess of a principality or Baron.
Historically, sumptuary laws often restricted the form and shape of a coronet. Many of those laws have been perpetuated in the SCA. For example:
- Strawberry leaves are restricted to Ducal coronets
- County coronets are the only coronets which may be embattled
- Coronets of six pearls indicate baronial rank.
Coronet
The Prince and Princess of a principality. Also used to refer to the Coronet tournament which is held to select them.
