[ANSTHRLD] SCA Armory for Bestowed Peerages

[Darin Herndon]

Tostig's research just reminded me of a reason that registration of peerage elements should not be allowed.  (Thanks, Tostig).

Once registered, any item is grandfathered to the registrant and supercedes any rule changes, etc.  But, a peerage can be resigned or stripped by action of the BoD.  How would we administratively handle the removal of a peerage element (a laurel wreath or knight's chain for example) from registered arms if the registrant is no longer entitled.  Unless the registrant submits a device change (which they would have to pay for and likely would not), there is no process to involuntarily modify the registered armory.  For this reason alone, I think the registration of peerage elements as a component in arms (not achievements, which are tracked in this kingdom but not touched in most) should be disallowed completely.

Of course, the above argument could also logically apply to coronets or crowns which titles could also be resigned or stripped but that is not the topic being covered right now.

Group thoughts?

Sorry, posted too quickly.

There have been no registrations of armory with "white belts" or "white baldrics" either (Thanks, Etienne).

According to the Blazon Pattern Search Form:

There have been 13 registrations for Armory with either "an orle of
chain" or "an annulet of chain" since the Regalia was registered
by Laurel in 1998.  Those who have are noted in the LoAR as being a KSCA .
There were 16 registrations before then with no such notations in the LoAR.

There have been no registration for armory with a "Chapeau",
"Pelican vulning itself" or "A pelican in its piety" at all
(unless it's in the most recent LoAR which brought up the question in the
first place).  In fact, the only 2 Pelicans on registered Armory are from the
1970s.
