'''Title Stacking''' is the [[SCA]] practice of using multiple titles in order to try to fully qualify which SCA [[award]]s someone has and to which [[order]]s they belong. For example, Alexandre d'Avigne who is a member of the [[White Scarf]], a [[Master]] of the [[Pelican]], a [[Baron|Court Baron]] and [[Viceroy]] of [[Ostgardr]] might be called "Viceroy Baron Master Don Alexandre" while [[Edward Zifran of Gendy]] who is a [[triple peer]] as well as a [[Viscount]] might be "Viscount Sir Master Master Edward". (He's also a Court Baron, so you could toss in a "Baron," too.)

This is widely considered to be tacky, in bad taste, self agrandising, and absurd.
Needless to say, this can get very silly very quickly and furthermore bears little relationship to any sort of period practice. (Then again, neither does any facet of the SCA's award structure, really.)

Title Stacking is the practice of using multiple titles in order to try to fully qualify which SCA awards someone has and to which orders they belong. For example, Alexandre d'Avigne who is a member of the White Scarf, a Master of the Pelican, a Court Baron and Viceroy of Ostgardr might be called "Viceroy Baron Master Don Alexandre" while Edward Zifran of Gendy who is a triple peer as well as a Viscount might be "Viscount Sir Master Master Edward". (He's also a Court Baron, so you could toss in a "Baron," too.)
