Let Loislinth of Donnelly indulge her sentiments,
and call her charge a "Donnelly Knot", tho it is, by
rights, a Cross.
The Lord Brigantia is reminded that the
Order of Precedence is established by the Lord Laurel.
... While the local order of March (the traditional order,
within that Kingdom, or Barony, or whatever, that Armigeres are
present before the Throne) is up to the local authorities.
A classic case in point is the custom, in
Atenveldt, of placing the "Warlord" at the head of the
Procession, tho he appears in the capacity nowhere in the Order
of Precedence. Is this point finally clear?
Further, We have no intention of "imposing"
Sarkanyi's ideas in toto upon the College. The Lord Brigantia
is known for his insistence on proper heraldic practice....and
so We asked for comments on improving the Regalia to bring it
more in line with correct period usage. Sarkany did research for
us sometime back on this matter, and rather than take the time
to excerpt and rewrite...which should be appreciated...We
simply Xeroxed the whole of his letter, trusting that the irrelevant
parts, such as that godawful revision of the Society's Arms,
would pass as being, in fact, irrelevant. Clear?
