Ah, I see where the fair Gunnora has had a difficulty translating Ansteorran to
her native Swedish. Those who engage in the honored act of raising pigs are
engaged in a noble act, this does not make them nobles.

The decree is to simply remind everyone that all of those who raise the animal
sacred to the Swede should be viewed as great craftspeople who cultivate and
nurture the greatest gift God bestowed to His people, swine.

As for "rank" well, stand downwind of a good pig farm and the rank of its owner
will be known to all. Ah, but we do tend to put on airs.

I do apologize for the confusion. I hope this has made it clear enough for even
the Finnish to understand.

Yours,

Gunthar
Prince
