Wulfric of the Black Wood, Award of Arms, 2013

Armour is a boon to all fighting men;

            it saves the body from harm.

Riding seems easy to every warrior while he is indoors

and very courageous to him who traverses the high-roads
to far off practices.

The sword is extremely sharp,

            suited to righteous purpose.

Generosity brings credit and honour, which support one's dignity;

it furnishes help and subsistence
to all broken men who are devoid of aught else.

Eagerness is infectious,

            it is easily caught by all who see it.

The Black Wood is a home,

            to a man who encompasses all these points.

            Wulfric by name, a mighty man.

Hlaford is a title, now held by him,

            a lord of the land.

Nigel is a King,

Adrielle is a Queen,

            who give him this boon,

            at Wassail, in Bryniau Tywynnog,

            on the last of November,

            in the forty-eighth year of the land.
