It sounds to me like this would be a good project for our Tressure 
Herald to oversee. :-D  A document of historical and SCA traditional 
ceremonies for not only baronial elevations, but peerages, coronations, 
fealty, etc.  There was a class taught on period oaths at KWHSS in New 
Orleans.  I'll see if I can find the notes.
