I am seeing some inter-kingdom Anthropology here- 
In Ansteorra- the senior knight toasts the King, the senior Don (light
weapon/rapier) toasts the Queen, the senior squire toasts the Prince, the
senior cadet toasts the Princess, and (gets muddy here) the local herald or
"home" peer will toast the hosting B&B(if any).

IKA, indeed.  What constitutes a "senior" squire?  I confess -- and meaning no disrespect to the merits of the squires of Ansteorra -- that it seems very strange to me to single someone out for honor because he or she is a squire (or an apprentice or protege).  However, I also think that IKA is one of the really medieval things about the SCA.  Other  kingdoms aren't cookie-cutter copies of this one, only in a different mundane place.  They are Furrin Places, where people are Strange and do things Differently.
