Or you could just look under "Titles" in the Compiled Name Precedents (*grin!

After much thought we have decided to allow heraldic titles to be transferred 
to individual heralds under the following conditions: 
1. The title must have been granted to the individual herald by the crown of 
the kingdom and the principal herald of the kingdom (except in cases where 
the Principal Herald is receiving a personal title for himself), or by the 
Laurel Sovereign, as a personal title for the herald. 

2. The transfer must appear on a letter of intent, and follow all the 
requirements of any transfer. 

3. The title will be counted as a name, when seeing how many registered items 
the person has. (Cover Letter 4/97)
