[ANSTHRLD] question about baronial service order award charters

[Duncan Hepburn]

Thanks for the excellent information! I had not yet considered reaching
into the OP to analyze other BSAs.

And you are correct as far as I know that the Oaks do not have a
charter. They didn't have an award text until last week, but who
knows... the times they are a' changing.
