ANSTHRLD - Precedence Question

[Darin Herndon]

Actually, though I like Darius' answer better and it makes much more sense to group all of the landed together in a march of precedence, I believe the correct answer is that Vicar/ess does not convey any precedence at all unless specified when appointed.

Kingdom Law - Section 3: Territorial Barons and Baronesses - states under point 6:  "The Crown may appoint a Vicar and/or Vicaress to oversee a Barony as the need arises. The rights, responsibilities and prerogatives of the Vicar and/or Vicaress shall be as specified by the Crown. In the absence of a specific declaration by the Crown, a Vicar and/or Vicaress shall be considered to have the powers and duties granted in Section 3(b) and (c), but shall not have the power to create or grant any award without the Crown's express written permission."

Section 3(b) states:  "To ensure, for the Crown, the well being and contentment of the Barony and of their subjects therein, to provide a Baronial court for the training of officers valuable to the Crown, and to encourage historical interaction, research, and creativity within the Barony."

Section 3(c) states:  "To counsel the Crown, and to petition the Crown on matters pertaining to the Barony, and on behalf of the members of the population thereof."

By default a vicar/ess has powers and duties but rights, responsibilities and prerogatives are as specified by the crown.  Unless specified there are none.
