I remember way back when this White Scarf Order was first created and some
people who objected to the title of Don or Dona for that order.  I knew a
gentle with a Spanish persona who was already by choice using the title
"Don" instead of "Lord"  just the same way a noble might choose to use the
title of "Earl" rather than "Count" for persona reasons.

And while I would never want to argue with our Kingdoms Zodiacus Herald on
matters of titles,  our current Kingdom Law does say in
Q.1.iii (page 59 of the current printing):

"Companions of the Order shall be entitled to use the prefix title, 'Don' or
'Dona', and within Ansteorra, these titles shall be reserved to Companions
of the Order."

Always in Service,

Lord Eadric Anstapa
