[Northkeep] A historical note regarding Cerelia

[Marc Carlson]

For those of you who are still new, or are at least not honking old, 
Honorable Lady Cerelia de Lacy of Sherborne was a founding member of a 
Northkeep Household, Casa De Morado (or more informally known as House 
Purple).  She was the mother of Countess Anne (formerly Anora Frayne of 
Winward, one time A&S minister of Northkeep), and mother in law of Duke 
Richard.  Her husband HL Raphael Diego de Burgos, while he was Herald, 
designed both the Northkeep Arms and Badge.

While I believe they may have been active as early as 1981, Annora became an 
officer in 1982. and Raphael was last Knight Marshal in 1993.  In the 
intervening time, they and their House were an influence on the vision for 
the Shire of Northkeep and helped determine the direction the Shire 
eventually took.  They are still fondly remembered by some of the older 
members of the group.
