ANST - SCA PEERS

[tgnst at swbell.net]

What's next? During this reign I know of three peers who had a member of the
Landed Nobility speak for them. Asaph at his Knighting by his request, and then
Keane and Xene at their 'do me now' Pelicanings at Steppes. The last two because
the Ladies had to speak or they'd burst. Three doesn't make a tradition, but it
does speak for a new precedent in the ongoing evolvement of our Peerage
ceremonies...'Stacia
