[Sca-cooks] Title of an ex-Viceroy

[Terry Decker]

Ahhh.  The terms I hear most often in Ansteorra are vicar or vicaress (from 
vicarius or substitute).  I suspect that whoever started using the term may 
have been punning since one of the first things that usually happens when a 
barony strays and gets a vicar(ess) appointed is a Come to Jesus meeting.

Our Founding Baroness has served as vicaress on four seperate occasions and 
her rewards were the thanks of the Crown and to be recalled the next time 
things went south.
