Ok the history of the Kings Battle Ribbon is that it was established by His 
Majesty Mahdi during his reign as King in 1997.  He wanted to do something 
to honor the Mooneschadowe and Northkeep units at the war.  He also wanted 
to establish something that would encourage units in the future to plan, 
train, and turn out for the war.  The first one was awarded jointly the 
Liondragon Guard or Mooneschadowe and the Northkeep Baronial War Unit 
(Thorgrim's terror or something like that).  In the following years the 
battle ribbon has traveled all over the Kingdom.  But seams to like to call 
Mooneschadowe it home more often than not.

1997 - Mahdi - Mooneschadowe & Northkeep
1998 - Jean Richard Malcomson II - Mooneschadowe & Northkeep
1999 - Gunthar Jonsson - (if memory serves this was the year of the great 
flood out and the ribbon was not awarded.)
2000 - Alaric Drake - Authurian Company of Elfsea
2001 - Jason MacPherson - War Company of Bryn Gwlad
2002 - Aaron McGregor - Coastal War Unit (I think)
2003 - Miguel Sebastian de Oporto - Mooneschadowe
2004 - Miguel Sebastian de Oporto II - Rhoadd-Western & The Light Cavalry



This is according to my memory so it could be off on the dates and 
order.  I know that someone will correct me if I have made a mistake.
