SR - Principality????

[Martin, Brian]

	From my experience as a herald for the Crown and as landed
nobility, the nobility only gives out AoA level awards unless they are
holding court for the Crown. In that instance, the nobility are simply
standing in for the Crown. I don't know if is this is law or tradition.
