Kingdom of AEthelmearc - Rapier Championship

Do listen to these present letters of Murdoch and Ríoghnach, King and Queen of AEthelmearc; greeting and recommendation. Equity requires and reason ordains that nobles, virtuous and of good skill and knowledge, be rewarded for their merits by renown and recognition. And therefore We who not only by common renown, but also by the report and testimony of other nobles worthy of credence, are truly advertised and informed that [INSERT NAME HERE] has performed feats of combat and as well in this as in other of their affairs has borne them self valiantly and honorably so that they deserved well, and is well worth that henceforth they may be in all places be honorably admitted, renowned, counted, numbered, and received among the number and in the company of the Rapier Champions of AEthelmearc. And for the remembrance of this we assign to the said [INSERT NAME HERE] the right to bear the arms and devices of the Kingdom Champions. In witness whereof We King and Queen of AEthelmearc, as above named, have signed with our hands and sealed with our seal and given this 14 day of June in the Year of the Society fifty and ten.
