I think I would challenge that particular precedent...if we had a bishop making a submission. I'm pretty sure we don't prohibit a bishop from being a member.

[August 1983 LoAR, R-Atenveldt] Gustav Athanasius von Hausenstadt. (badge).
Azure, upon a sun Or a Latin cross azure, in chief a bishop's mitre between two crosses couped Or.
NOTE: Badge unacceptable. The bishop's mitre is the heraldic symbol for a bishop and
 should only be borne by a bishop. As there are no bishops allowed in the SCA, 
the bishop's mitre is hereby forbidden for use in the SCA.
