[ANSTHRLD] Court heraldry question.

[Brian O'hUilliam]

I have done Royal Courts, Baronial Courts, joint Courts, and a variety of
other styles of Court.  For Baronial Courts with no Royal Presence, the
ending Vivats remain the same: Baron, Baroness, Barony, Prince, Princess (if
applicable), King, Queen, Kingdom.  Always give due to the Cropwn and
Kingdom.

Another note:  If you are running Court or helping a new herald do Court,
please explain to them that, in Ansteorra, we generally say "Vivat ___".  If
it is not done this way, the populace gets confused becasue they have been
trained and it becomes akward.


Just my thoughts,
Brian O'hUilliam
