To all true northern people these presents are hearing or
seeing humble recommendation by Us, Nigel, King of Ealdormere, and Adrielle,
His Queen. It is so that many persons being moved of noble and gentle birth to
rage or exercise virtuous martial activities and conditions by the which with
good grace shall come to the perfection of great honour. Of which persons one
in especial whose name is Louis Etienne of the Barony of Ramshaven has skill
with the blade which requires Us the said King and Queen to search for an award
for the said Etienne. Where upon We the said King and Queen have made herein
our search and found the right award for the said Etienne, that is to say the
Award of the Scarlet Banner, and further the right to bear the badge of the
said award being argent, a pale wavy gules between two wolves combatant sable.
Which award We the said Nigel, King, and Adrielle, Queen, confirm unto the said
Etienne in witness whereof We have set Our seal and hand. The xxvith day of
