I know which offspring,
descendent of wolves,
I want to proclaim
--Edgar’s son is his name;
It is his habit
to fight in the vanguard:
Resurrecter
of the baronial guard.
Be it known that We, Roak, King by right of arms, and Elizabeth , Our Queen, are
minded to make unto James Edgarson an Award of Arms in recognition of his
service to Ealdormere, specifically for resurrecting Skraeling Althing’s
Baronial Guard. We bestow upon him the right to bear arms within the Society
for Creative Anachronism without let or hindrance from any person, and the
rights and responsibilities conveyed by his elevation to this rank. Done this
[Date] day of [Month], A.S. [Year], while sitting on Our thrones in Our [Place
name], in testimony whereof We have set Our hand and seal.
By THLaird Colyne Stewart. Based on Gunnlaug’s drapa about
King Sigtrygg Silk-beard, in the Saga of Gunnlaug Serpent-Tongue, circa
1270-1300, as translated in The Sagas of the Icelanders, Viking Press,
2000.
