Actually, upon thinking about it, I think that Obelisk is right and the title of
Vicar and Vicaress would convey no precedence unless specified. It is not the
precedence of the Barony which is marching, or being listed, or whatever; it is
the personal precedence of the individual.

Which leads to a related question--am I wrong, and *is* it the precedence of the
Barony, rather than personal precedence, which counts for landeds? Do they march
in order of founding of the Baronies, or by their date of landedness? If in order
of Baronial founding, then Darius is probably right.

However, I get confused when I take this any farther; for example, Vicar and
Vicaress is a temporary duty, but then, technically, so is being a landed Baron
or Baroness, so I don't know what bearing that would have on things. Are landed
folk *always* given a Court Barony upon stepping down? If so, being landed means
you'll never be below that level of precedence, while being a Vicar would mean
nothing of the sort. Which may imply absolutely nothing at all relevant to the
question.

Oh, well. Further mulling may cause other thoughts to float up from the deeps
(although my deeps are getting shallower by the day, seems like), but I thought
I'd throw this thought out for consideration before I forgot it.
