[Ansteorra] To title or not to title (James Crouchet)

[Dave Wise]

As a side note, it is always nice to see when folks incorporate whatever 
awards they have in an historically appropriate way, rather than going 
for the "Medieval Mr. T" look.  One easy form is the use of cast badges, 
should you favor the 15th century.

As for the situation I mentioned, this was years ago (as in the era before most people had computers), so the OP was not as easy to check then as it is now.  As to why a paper copy was not first reviewed to see what I had, I don't know - the reasons given below for the Crown's displeasure are the very ones I was presented with at the time.  I have to say though, that even today I don't like being flashy with insignia so generally my laurel medallion is the only one I generally wear.  Since it's the highest award I have, rightly or wrongly I figure it covers the other ones.

Oftentimes usage of title or ensignia is done out of courtesy to others, not out of high-handedness.
