So in finding myself recently with a vested interest in the outcome of this
question, I decided to search around in the various and sundry governing
documents that give approved and alternate titles for the various ranks within
the SCA.  In perusing both the Award Constitutions and the Laws of Ansteorra, as
well as the Society Corpora, I find nothing that supports the use of either
"His/Her Lordship" or "Honorable Lord/Lady" for receipents of honors bearing a
Grant of Arms.

In Ansteorra, the White Scarves, the Centurions and the Golden Lancers have
traditional titles that befit their specific orders, but membership in the other
GoA orders does not grant any title or form of address save for that which is
accounted to recipients of a Grant of Arms.

The only reference I found for this form of address is from the Society Corpora,
which gives the official title/address of a GoA as "Lord/Lady."

So my question is: where did the Honorable Lord/Lady and His/Her Lordship come
from, and under what authority save for tradition are we using it?
