Scroll Text - Terry of the Rhydderich Hael - Award of Arms

Kingdom of AEthelmearc - Award of Arms

By this the will of the Crown of AEthelmearc be known. As it was for our predecessors, we decree that the Crown's subjects, not lame nor having no lawful impediment, and being over the age of 11 years, except for spiritual men, justices, and Barons of the Exchequer, make well use of the bow and to have a bow continually in one's house along with such arrows as being necessary for an archer to arm themself for war. And that no stranger shall wield a bow near Our Majesty, We, Gareth and Julana, King and Queen of Sylvan AEthelmearc, do affirm and award Arms to Terry of the Rhydderich Hael and call him Lord and further do We command that the newly created Lord travel to Our College of Heralds where, with consultation, a device worthy of a Noble shall be created for him that he and he alone shall bear. Done on the 6th day of April, AS 58, in the Barony of Rhydderich Hael, at the Festival of the Passing of the Ice Dragon. And should any gainstay Us, know that Lord Terry is more than capable of delivering Our wrath upon any so rash to defy Us
