North, Wardens of Septentrialis, Ard Ri of Lacus Pentamerus and Lacus Ealdormearc,
High Lord and Lady of Ardchreag, &c.
For as much as you, Beathan MacFinnon, are known for the
construction of furniture, jewelry, banners, woodworking and calligraphy, and
it was witness at the Kingdom Arts and Sciences Faire that you were chosen as
the victor of the Queen’s Choice Prize, therefore it is but just and
reasonable, that since you work so diligently, you should be rewarded for it.
And We, being willing to honour and favour you for the reasons aforesaid: Our
will is, that you, Beathan MacFinnon, after showing such expertise in the arts
and sciences, be given Our Award of the Orion, and the right to bear the badge
of the award without let or hindrance. And by this Our letter: We command
Prince Siegfried and Princess Ragni, Our most beloved son and daughter, the
Infants, Dukes, Prelates, Marquesses, Great Masters and Military Orders,
Priors, Commendaries, our Counsellors, Judges, and other Officers of Justice
whatsoever, belonging Courts, and Chancery, and Constables of Castles, Strong
Houses, and others; and all Corporations, Bayliffs, Governours, Judges,
Commanders, Sea Officers; and the Aldermen, Common Council, Officers, and Good
People of all Cities, Lands, and Places in our Kingdoms and Dominions, as such
in all respects, and give you all the perquisites and other things belonging
and appertaining to the said award; and allow, and cause to be allowed you, all
the honours, graces, concessions, prehaminences, prerogatives, immunities, and
other things, or any of them which are due to you, by virtue of your
achievements. We command our Chancellour, Heralds, and other Officers, to pass,
seal, and deliver to you, Our Award, in such form and legal manner, as you
shall require or stand in need of. And that none of them presume to do any
thing to the contrary, upon pain of our displeasure, and forfeiture of 30 finfarthings
for each offence. And We command him, who shall show them this Our Letter, that
he summon them to appear before Us at our Court, where we shall then be, within
fifteen days after such summons, under the said penalty. Under which same, We
also command any Public Notary whatsoever, that he give to him that shows it
him, a certificate under his seal, that we may know how our command is obeyed.
