In the Barony I helped to found one of the "standing policies" is that
neither the cook nor the autocrat have to pay for the event they're
working on (but everyone else does, excepting of course invited guests
such as the Royalty).  So the seat is there if one wants it.  I'truth, I
don't recall ever having used mine.  At our most recent event, my best
friend and I sat on bar stools at the service window, nibbling cheese
tart & dipping bread in the venison & bacon drippings and drinking wine
and admiring the feast hall from our "perch".  And holding court as
people came up to comment on the food....
