<Sigh>
And I had a chance (at the end of my really long email) to score good 
points with my soon to be corporate boss.  I knew that.  I forgot and 
thought about the seniority of the kingdoms.

Since the topic of a procession with many heralds came up in the 
regalia/insignia discussion, this is a point to consider.  With a single 
herald in Ansteorra, we are frequently used to seeing the herald come first 
and then the noble/royalty.  Multiple heralds would usually be as a group 
in front (not scattered through the processional line) and least ranking 
goes first.  Multiple nobles in a line would have their own herald(s) right 
in front of them, not everybody's heralds all in one group.

Hmmm...  Thoughts for the next Principal Herald ceremony?
