[Ansteorra] gonna stir some bunnies

[Lisa A. May]

"Armigerous" means that it comes with an Award, Grant or Patent of Arms.
Championships (whether arts or fighting) do not carry any award of Arms,
unlike elevation to the Order of the White Scarf, which carries a Grant of
Arms.

A County or Duchy is considered an armigerous award despite the fact that in
some kingdoms such titles do not carry a Patent of Arms because (or at least
so I speculate) the SCA governing documents specifically make provisions for
such award, although they defer to individual kingdom law and custom for
whether the Patent is actually awarded.

I missed the point that it had to be combat for a title.
But... isn't winning a baronial championship an armigus award? Not sure on
this one, but I think so...unless rapier champions are unofficial champions
were the A&S champion is offical
