Not quite true, TB can if the crown wishes, give out any award that the SCA
has to offer.  It is just  the Ansteorran custom that usually Grant level
and above are given out by the Crown.  There have been cases where grant
level awards and above have been given out by TB.  Also, on occasion the
Crown has had dukes/duchess give out awards, when they are unavailable.
