Scroll Text - Drusis - Award of Arms 2014
Kingdom of AEthelmearc - Award of Arms
Zephyrs of the air pass the knowledge of the words of Titus Scipio Germanicus and Anna Leigh, otherwise called King and Queen of Sylvan AEthelmearc. To all present and to come which these letters shall see or hear, We sendeth health with all humble commendations will, and by reason ordain, that men of valiant and virtue be had in a perpetual memory. And where that Nobleness is once in a blood it may not be lost without too long continuance in sloth and vice. Also, Doctor Bartholomew in his treates of Tokens of Arms said, "If the Arms be once ours they may in no ways be taken away from us". And also recounted both in virtue and behaviour, worthy to bear the ancient tokens and mark of Nobleness and also, thus do We, the aforesaid King and Queen, and by the authority of the Crown, raise our trusty Drusis from the ranks of commoner and do award him with arms, title and honor and charge the aforesaid Lord Drusis to consult with Our College of Heralds to have created such arms unique to him that he may display them as he does service to Our fair Kingdom. Thus we have signed with Our hands these present letters, made and given at Port Oasis, on the day of the Sicilian's Revenge, the ides of November, AS nine and forty.
based on the Grant of Arms to Thomas Elyott, 1492
