While I have no power to make it required reading, I can make such comments
available to those who are willing to learn. Gunthar's message will be
placed in this file in the SCA-INC section of the Florilegium:
SCA-royalty-msg (41K) 2/15/01 SCA Royalty and what they should be.
Similar files that might be of use to folks on a lower level include:

Baron/ess"
by Conor mac Cinneide.
And these in the SCA-SOCIOLOGY section:
