B. TERRITORIAL BARONS AND BARONESSES

          1. Appointment and Removal:

               a. The Crown shall appoint a territorial Baron and/or
                  Baroness according to thelaws and customs of the
                  kingdom when a branch is granted baronial status,
                  and at such subsequent times as a new Baron and/or
                   Baroness is required. The barony's opinion on the
                  matter must be requested and received in writing, and the
                  appointments must not be substantively opposed by the
                  populace of the barony.

               b. Territorial Barons and Baronesses are officers subject
                  to the provisions of By-Laws V.C.2.b. The Baron and/or
                  Baroness shall work with the baronial officers as
                  circumstances dictate, and shall keep these officers
                  informed as necessary for the efficient performance of
                  their duties and effective liaison within the barony.

               c. The Crown may suspend a territorial Baron and/or
                  Baroness for the duration of a reign, for just and
                  stated cause. Suspension would prohibit the use of
                  the baronial titles and arms, the conduct of baronial
                  courts, and the presentation of baronial awards.

               d. The Crown may remove a territorial Baron and/or Baroness for just and stated
                   cause; however, the Crown must request a written opinion
                  from the populace of the barony before taking such action.

          2. Responsibilities:

               a. The basic duties of the Baron and/or Baroness are ceremonial in nature in
                    reflecting the royal presence in the barony. The Crown may
                   assign additional duties and responsibilities,according to
                   the laws and customs of the kingdom.

               b. Territorial Barons and/or Baronesses are responsible to the
                  Crown and (if the barony is within a principality) to the
                  Coronet. The Baron and/or Baroness shall work with the baronial
                  officers as circumstances dictate, and shall keep these
                  officers informed as necessary for the efficient performance
                  of their duties and effective liaison within the barony.

               c. The privileges, duties, and rights,ceremonial and otherwise,
                  of the office of territorial Baron and/or Baroness are
                  established by the laws and customs of the kingdom, and
                  shall include the right to make such awards as the Crown
                  (or the Coronet, if applicable) shall specifically delegate,
                  and to establish and present non-armigerous awards specific
                  to the barony. (See VI.A.1.f.4))

               d. A territorial Baron or Baroness may hold any other Society
                  office for which he or she is fitted and qualified, save
                  only that of Baronial Seneschal, but must not allow the
                  duties and responsibilities of such office and the office
                  of Baron or Baroness to conflict.
