Gael "The Fool" O'Finnin "The Strange" asked: "what are the full
names for OLW,*RH*,and ODB. oh! what is a court barony?"
Greetings Gael,
I really expected that a herald or two would beat me to this (as I
scrambled around the net gathering the pieces that I needed), but
here is my humble (if not overzealous) attempt to answer your
questions.
I am assume that you know that those initials stand for specific
awards given in the Society and are asking which ones in particular.
I did some searching (see the end of my email for websites used) and
came up with the following:
OLW - I am guessing these are the initials for the current Baronial
service order for the Barony of Wiesenfeuer, the Order of the
Lanternarius. I could never find the initials listed for that order,
but they stand to reason.
*RH* - Again guessing, I would say the Royal Huntsman. This is a new
revolving title that is chosen every six months to represent the new
Crown of Ansteorra in the field of archery, in much the same way as
the King's Blade of Honor is passed at each Crown Tournament to a new
holder.
ODB - This one I am sure of, assuming that the websites I used are
correct, it is the Order of the Dreigiau Bryn (ODB), the current
service order for the Barony of Bryn Gwlad.
Please, heralds, correct me if I am mistaken in any of the above.
Now, on to "what is a court barony?". This is the definition that I
found and I think that it sums it up best:
"The titles of Court Baron and Court Baroness convey a Grant of Rank.
These titles are usually bestowed upon territorial* Barons and
Baronesses when they step down. They are also given to those subjects
whose service, ability, deeds, and grace merit such rank in the eyes
of the granting Crown. Court Barons and Baronesses rank just below
the Patents and above the Grant Orders."
*Territorial Barons and Baronesses are appointed by the Crown and
hold lands (Baronies) for Them, acting as Their representatives when
the Crown is not there.
I hope that helps and for good measure (and since I was there anyway)
I have included all the awards I could find for Ansteorra and what
their initials are (when I could locate them).
