[Ansteorra] Title Question

>From the Corpora VIII.D.4, and SCA College of Arms Administrative Handbook
Appendix C:
"Baron (of placename)/ Baroness (of placename) = Ceremonial heads of a barony"
I find no distinction between founding baron/ess and current baron/ess.
From Kingdom Law, Article 3.3.1.B:"The landed nobles at the time of the creation
of a barony are the founding baron or baroness. The founding landed nobles have
the perpetual right to bear the baronial arms in canton on their own arms and to
maintain the perpetual title "Baron or Baroness (fief).""
It would appear this is an Ansteorran convention.
My experience has been that:
Baron Placename refers to the founding baron of a barony in perpetuity.
Baron of Placename refers to the current baron of said place.
I have heard "His Excellency Placename" used interchangeably.
In service,
Alden Drake

Subject: [Ansteorra] Title Question
Greetings,
I have a question about titles that hopefully someone can answer. :)
In regards to landed Baron/esses, it has always been my understanding that they
could be referred to by their group, rather than their names, as in 'Their
Excellencies BaronyName' rather than 'Their Excellencies RegisteredNames'. I've
done this quite a bit, as I'm terrible bad with names. I was recently told that
only the first B&B can claim that title, and that they can use it as an honorary
titleclaim it forever, even after they have stepped down.
Are there written rules regarding this? If not, what are the
traditions/standards? Thanks.
