Trumbrand and Kaylah, King and Queen of Ealdormere, to
Dukes, &c., greeting. Know ye that we have given, granted and by this our
charter confirmed to Eirik Andersen, our very dear subject, all the right and
honour and preeminence pertaining to being a member of our Order of the
Pelican. For many decades has Eirik, son of the High Cliffs, toiled in field
and hall, in manor and fort, never fearing to set aside the game of cards he
loves so much to take up hoe, or pen, or whatsoever tool may be required, to do
good and just service to the kingdom he loves even more. Known not only for his
skill at painting in the manner of the Flemings and in matters ethereal, he is
also a skilled officer of our realm, and has held numerous positions of
authority and duty which he has fulfilled most excellently. For all these
reasons, and more too many to account of here, do we elevate him to the Order, grant
him permission to wear the badge of the Order, without let or hindrance, and to
display a cap of maintenance within his achievement of arms. Witness the King
and Queen, at Tournoi de Couer de Glace in the Shire of Bastille du Lac, on the
31st day of January, in the Year of the Society forty-nine.
Wording by THLaird
Colyne Stewar, based on the Creation of Andrew de Hartcla Earl of Carlisle , Charter, R.C.V. 18, 1322.
