There is a story here why Gilli is the 3rd to receive the King's Archer but
listed as the Premier.  Gilli was to receive the first King's Archer.
Because of his work schedule he was not able to attend the event where they
planned to give it to him.  due to mis communication between the out going
crown, Mahadi and the in coming, Kein the award was accidentaly given out to
two other archers first.  they were shocked that Gilli hadn't received it
yet and insisted that Gilli should have been the premier.  Kein offered
apologies when Gilli did finally make it to an event with the award and that
is why he is listed as premier thought he was actually the 3rd to get it.
(Wayne of the Heights was also about to leave the kingdom and they also
wanted to make  sure he got it before he left.)

On the surface it might look like it but a Thistle is an AoA level award
(they get a title with it) and the King's Archer is non-armiguous or as my
lord said, "It's a no fat cookie."
