A peer in the SCA is a person who has received a Patent of Arms. They are not necessarily enrolled in an order of peerage, but enrollment is usually the norm.
There are three polling peerage orders (the Great Orders of Peerage): Order of the Laurel, Order of Chivalry or Order of the Pelican - aka Laurels, Knights, and Pelicans. In some kingdoms, the Order of the Rose is a polling order, but is not generally considered one of the Great Orders.
A triple peer is a person who holds membership in all three of the Great Orders, Chivalry, Laurel and Pelican.
There are also Royal Peers, who receive their Patent of Arms in return for time spent on the throne. Royal Peers appear above other peers in the Order of Precedence.
These people are expected to be the role models in the SCA, upholding the values of chivalry and committing themselves to service to the realm.
