Hrothgar of the March, Award of Arms

Hrothgar hails from western shores

His hands hold heavy reins with ease

Hosts of men live in his limbs

Dims the prospects of all foes

Boasts the March of Hrothgar’s deeds

Pleases Us to give him gold.

Hrothgar of the March

Has served with dedication and skill

At all manner of events.

He cheerfully takes on any task

And lightens the burdens of others.

For these reasons do We

King Nigel and Queen Adrielle

Give unto Hrothgar of the March

An Award of Arms

And all rights and privileges thereto.

He will henceforth be known

As Lord Hrothgar of the March.

Done this 6^th day of March

Anno Societatis 44

At Winter War

In Our Shire of Trinovantia Nova
