That is the rule in Wiesenfeuer Baronial courts.  Because of space
limitations, they often rotate out and have just one or two of the
guardsmen at a time.  But more often than not, it is someone from the
Archery Guard.  I am thankful our Baron and Baroness support the
archery community.

So why do not the other baronies have archers standing up there in
court with the others?  Have any of you actually asked your Baron and
Baroness if you or your champions could do that?  I am sure that if
your archery champions or guard offered, your Barons and Baroness'
would be willing to have you up there too.

Absolutely.  While archers should let the Nobles and Crown know that
they are available, it is their courts and their decision.

Usually the Crown has an entourage of Their own choosing.  That
differs from reign to reign.  But you should always remember that
They are the Crown and They get to decide who stands behind them.  So
whatever arrangements are being made for different people, always
check with the Crown first.
