Okay, here's the deal. I don't live in a Barony, I live in a Province,
specifically a Crown Province. For practical purposes, in the SCA a
landed Baron is given the land as his fiefdom, to hold for the Crown. A
Crown Province is the Crown's land, held by the Crown, and a
representative of the Crown rules. Instead of having a Baron and
Baroness, we have a Viceroy and Vicereine. 

In theory, we're sorta kinda the capital of the East Kingdom, and its
oldest group. Once upon a time, we _were_ the East. In practice, now,
we're pretty much like any other barony. 

Maybe someone who actually has been a Prince(ss) or other monarch-y type
can provide corrections or additional info.

A Resident of the Crown _Province_ of Østgardr, in the East Kingdom
