Good Morning,
Just a little tidbit from Corpora:
----
B. OTHER AWARDS
1. Barons and Baronesses. The titles of Baron or Baroness, whether
territorial or of the court, shall carry at least an Award of Arms
if the recipient is not already armigerous.
----
You do see that there is an out in there for Kingdoms. *If* the person
already has and AoA or higher, a Baronial title doesn't need to have
anything associated with it. (Of course if they have tradition in
their Kingdom, they can't go against in all likelihood.)
I'm glad our Kingdom gives it a Grant of Arms.
Another tidbit from Corpora:
----
B. OTHER AWARDS
4. Authority. Only royalty and territorial Barons and Baronesses may
bestow awards. If an award is established for a specific branch,
only the royalty or Baron/ess of that branch may bestow the award,
unless the power is specifically delegated in a manner consistent
with Corpora and kingdom law and custom.
----
I read this to mean that Court Baronies can not give out awards at
events for the Crown. This is a "bad thing" if that is the case.
Ciao,
