Eli! Eli! The
children cry
The sea of shields
before him quakes
And makes to fly.
With practised eye
Lord Cailin all
his foes he breaks.
For his well-honed
skills
And diligence in
the ways of war
Let all salute a
true shield of Ealdormere.
Quilliam, King,
the gathering storm
Dagmar, Queen,
fierce as the dawn
Give unto Lord
Cailin of Ben Dunfirth
The Award of the
Scarlet Banner
Bear it ever with
pride
And protect it
with honour
Done this 19th
day of June
Anno Societatis 45
At Murder Melee
In Our Barony of
Ben Dunfirth
Wording, calligraphy and
illumination by THL Asa Gormsdottir
Shield based on
Migration Period gold disc brooch, Wittislingen, mid 7th C.
Calligraphy in
Insular half uncial
