<DIV>In Her Excellency's defense, I'd like to suggest that the "of" was perhaps simply forgotten. I often forget to write critical words...and I'm an English teacher! I should know better!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If Her Excellency was unaware of the Atenveldtian custom of titling a founding baron "Baron (Name of Barony)," then I dropped the ball. I forgot to cover this bit of protocol with them before they were invested, and I would like to apologize deeply for any offense I have caused by this oversight of mine.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For what it's worth:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>Since Ansteorra was once part of the Kingdom of Atenveldt, we have kept the Atenvedtian custom of titling our founding barons and baronesses with "Baron (Name of Barony)" and "Baroness (Name of Barony)" in perpetuity. As such, Kief and Alix are still Baron and Baroness Raven's Fort, even though they are no longer the Baron and Baroness OF Raven's Fort.</DIV>
