Kingdom of AEthelmearc - Award of Arms

O Alistair MacLeod, You stand before Thomas Byron and Ariella, Rightful King and Queen of Sylvan AEthelmearc. Many are the crimes of which you have been accused. And for so much as we have been informed by nobles and gentles beyond reproach that you have been willfully seen retaining, conspiring to poach the King's deer and firing a crossbow within Our domains, acts not permitted to those of the common ranks. To take no action against you might stir and conspire means of commotion and insurrection showing against Our honor and estate, the common word of Our Land and Our Laws. We therefore would and desire that immediately after light of this, you are to be escorted to Our College of Heralds where, with consultation, a device worthy of a Lord shall be created for you as we mean to award you arms so that your service and your skill shall be done with Our blessing. And these Our letters shall be unto you in that behalf sufficient warrant. Given by Our hands At War Practice in the year of The Society fifty and one.

inspired by Sign Manual Warranty (English) for the Issue of the Great Seal) (2 December, 3 Edward IV)
