[Artemisia] Re: Heraldic Question (a response)

[Dan S.]

Greetings,

Well I read the response from Da'ud ibn Auda and I have to say he has his
facts and timeline straight, but I still continue to oppose the conclusions.

As I said earlier, if individual Kingdoms want to put Crowns on thier
Kingdom Heralds I have no problem with that. It has historical precedence as
has been cited her several times.

The College of Heralds (apparently of the Outlands) cannot hand out a Crown
on it's own authority. Brass hats are given out by the Crowns of the
Soverign Kingdoms in the SCA. Not  (any fraction of) the college of Arms and
not the BoD.

What I continue to object to is Crowns for people serving in Corporate
positions. I don't think the members of the BoD should wear Crowns, I don't
think the Corporate Chronicler should wear a Crown, I will not eat green egs
or ham..

Crowns should be for Kings and Queens (and MAYBE for Kingdom Heralds if that
Kingdom wishes to institute it- I don't believe and Kingdom has, but I could
be mistaken) Corporate should do its (very difficult) job and leave the
Brass or Silver or whatever hats to the Kingdoms.

In Service,

Sir Daniel
