Eald: old age; Pure Saxon.
Crinigerous: overgrown with hair; aren't there a few of our populace
who could be appropriately described this way?
Dilligrout: A kind of pottage of which a mess was offered to the kings
of England on their coronation day by the lord of the manor of
Addington in Surrey, being the "service" by which that manor was held.
Let's see, what kind of "service" might each baron & baroness present
at coronation? Loch Salann: salt (or perhaps a lamb chop); Ten
Thousand Eyes: peacock feathers; Sentinal's Keep: bird eggs; Arn Hold:
"moose dropping" cookies; Gryphon's Lair: candy? And then, of course,
there are the province and shires (perhaps presented by the
seneschals). Hhhmmmm....
