[ANSTHRLD] Quo Warranto?

[Darin Herndon]

Since I had not seen any replies yet...

For the awards and orders included in the OP, their ranking relative to each other is written in the award and order constitutions.  That does not answer the precedence of baronies question and  may not address a Court Barony but it covers the vast majority of items in the OP.

Subject: [ANSTHRLD] Quo Warranto?

Here I am, wanting to start a hare (or perhaps a rabbit) when most of
the readership is off at Gulf Wars.

Is there any statute that determines precedence in Ansteorra, except
for the few specifications of Corpora and kingdom law?  Neither one
says much.  For example, kingdom law pretty much only lists Ansteorran
awards that are in each level, and that territorial barons/esses rank
just below Royal Family.  There's nothing in the heralds' handbook.

Are even the customs mentioned anywhere?

Who decided on the Order of March
<http://herald.ansteorra.org/OP/Order_of_March.rtf> and by what right?

For all I see, I could state that I take precedence of Robin of
Gilwell, for example, and nobody can point to a law that says the
contrary.  Of course, Magister Robertus Gilwelensis could then
demonstrate the fine medieval custom of asking the king and queen for
a field, and I'd get to do my best imitation of a tent-peg ...
More likely, he'd just cite many witnesses to immemorial custom.

How is the precedence of baronies determined?  There's a list of
investitures of barons/esses with dates, but nothing that I see states
that precedence depends on the date of first investiture, versus the
date at which baronial status was given by the BoD or the Society
Seneschal, versus any other criterion.
