For Johanna Hurst. Nigel and Adrielle, &c., to Barons,
&c., greeting. Know ye that whereas the eminence of numerous noblemen and
the abundance of great and wise people are the principal ornament and the
chiefest support of every Realm, we, at the request of the Prelates and Lords
and of the Commonalty of our Realm meeting together in our present Parliament
assembled at Caer Draeth, willing therefore to honour and likewise strengthen
the Royal scepter by the multiplication of exalted persons, and considering the
magnanimity, assiduity and prudent circumspection of our trusty and very dear
Johanna Hurst, who, according to her works as head of entourage, toiling in the
kitchens of the kingdom and holding the office of minister of arts and sciences
has shown herself dutiful and devoted to us, by the declared counsel of our
said Parliament have given to her an Award of the Maiden’s Heart. And to that
end we have affixed our hand and seal at a Game of Queen’s, on the feast day of
Cuthmann of Steyning, in the forty-eighth year of the society.
Wording by THLaird
Colyne Stewart, based on the Creation of Henry of Lancaster
as Earl of Derby
