SR - Principality????

[Pug Bainter]

Bob Dewart said something that sounded like:
> Please tell me in 100 words or less, "WHY?". 

'Cause people wanna play god?

*evil grin*

On a more serious note, a pompous herald (his words!) told a class
something this weekend that may have been a reason in favor of doing
a Principality. He said that only upto AoA level can be awards can be
given by Barons and Baronesses. Is this really the case or is it just
tradition? I couldn't find it in Corpora, but that doesn't mean it's
not there.

If it is the case, I can see another set of Royalty being able to hand
out Grant level awards as a "good thing".

NOTE: I am not saying that the Crown would not have to approve it, only
whose hand it comes from at an event.

Btw, I just read something in Corpora that has me quite shocked:

----
B. OTHER AWARDS.

4. Authority. Only royalty and territorial Barons and Baronesses may
   bestow awards. If an award is established for a specific branch,
   only the royalty or Baron/ess of that branch may bestow the award,
   unless the power is specifically delegated in a manner consistent
   with Corpora and kingdom law and custom.

I think they just threw the idea of Court Baronies of being able to give
out awards at events. Although Court Baronies are nobility, they are not
royalty.

Ciao,
