Sumptuary laws and customs was [Artemisia] Kingdom Traditions

[Sue Clemenger]

They actually *are* on the kingdom website, just a bit hidden on the
"end" of the kingdom law.

As far as the cloaks go, as long as I can recall, anyone with an AoA can 
display their arms on their cloaks.  Territorial royalty of 'most any 
stripe can wear cloaks or mantles with the arms of their office or 
group.  Royal peers display their arms with the appropriate 
augmentation.  Plain peers are a bit odd (well, we all knew that anyway, 
didn't we? <g>) In addition to displaying our arms, we get to trim the 
cloak or mantle with a 2" border of cloth or fur in a color appropriate 
to the order (i.e, Chiv has white, Pels have gold, and Laurels have 
greeen, although the thought of green fur always made me shudder, 
personally ;o)
Capelets of white fur or ermine are restricted to kings & queens, crown 
prince and princesses, royal peers, and baronage (doesn't say court or 
territorial, so I assume both).  Number of "rows" of ermine depends on 
the rank.
