Well, I'd call the armigerous order a "baronial service award"; I'm
pretty loose about calling membership in an order an award (but NOT
vice versa).

On Friday, 25 October, I sent a message to the Ansteorran list about
such topics.  Did it not get out?  Summary: Corpora and kingdom law
are confused, but Baroness Katrionna summarizes the usual reality.
(Well, I can't say about "solely at the discretion"; for all I know
there are baronies out there where the baron/ess consults, and I would
think it a good thing too.)
