Ok, tenure, not reign.  Got it ;) !
Thanx for the clarification

 Kings and Queens reign.  The period of time in which they do this is  also called a reign.
  
 Barons and Baronesses hold--more completely, they hold their lands of the  king, by virtue of their status as vassals of the King and Queen.  The  period of time in which they do this is called a tenure (from the Latin for "to  hold").
  
 Vassals cannot reign.  Only sovereigns reign.
  
 To use the verbiage of the Domesday Book, barons hold baronies of the king,  but the king holds shires.  This really has no expression in kingdom laws  or society policies.
  
 A similar situation obtains in the Episcopal Church.  The priest who  is the primary liturgist of a parish is known as rector.  Missions, which  are congregations that have not yet attained parochial status due to age, size,  or resources, have a rector as well, but that rector is the ordinary bishop of  the diocese.  The priest who is the primary liturgist of a mission, acting  in the bishop's (rector's) place, is known as a vicar.
  
 I'm glad you found the book, Your Excellency.  It's a part of your  history.

Cool.  Now we don't have to worry about making a new one in    time for Defender.  But I do think that it would be neat to have a new    one made for each reign.
Do we have any volunteers    :)

trumpets and Kief's and      Alix's devices on the inside?
if so I have it with the Baronial Regailia.      It was in
the Historians file and I felt it needed to be used
when we      held court. I have seen several in our past
history. Perhaps we may need      one made for our reign.
