[ANSTHRLD] Court heraldry question.

[Alden Drake]

The sequence I learned, which I think makes pretty good sense, is the first one you list.  When I was a baronial herald, I was taught it this way:

First, the Royal Herald opens the Crown's Court.  The Crown will have some words.
Second, the Baronial Herald opens the Baronial Court.  This court is then done within the Royal Court.
Third, Court business happens (both Crown business and Baronial Business).
Fourth, the Baronial Court is closed (Vivat Baron; vivat Baroness; vivat Canton (if it's a canton event), vivat Barony.
Fifth, the Royal Court is closed (Vivat Princeps (if there is one); vivat Principessa (if there is one); vivat Rex; vivat Regina; vivat Ansteorra).

Greetings,

I was wondering if I could get some clarification from the court
heralds out there.I am going over my court heraldry notes, and
remembered that I have seen baronial courts closed in a couple of
different ways.

The protocol I personally use for the order of my "vivats" is this;

Baron
Baroness
Canon (where applicable)
Barony
Prince (where applicable)
princess (where applicable)
King
Queen
Ansteorra

I have, however, heard it grouped togeather with all the people first,
and then all the places, and one time I think I heard that totally
reversed, but with "Ansteorra" still last.
What's the correct way, or is there even a singular correct way?
