Kingdom of AEthelmearc - Chivalry Elevation

Unto Our trusted and welbeloved subject Salvador Moro dei Medici. Hear these greetings from the Crown of AEthelmearc, Andreas and Kallista, third of those names. Being mindful of your prowess, courtesy, wisdom, and honor, and having received the wise counsel of our Noble Order of the Chivalry, as well as the words of the other peerages which We have heard today in Our Court, and being well pleased by your actions and demeanor, We do bestow the following accolades upon you. First do We elevate you to the rank of Knight of the Society with all Rights and Privileges that that entails and Grant you the right to wear the belt, chain, and spurs of a Knight. Secondly do we proclaim you a Peer of Our Realm by Letters Patent, to wit: Per chevron inverted sable and vert semy of skulls argent, in chief a dragon rampant Or. Thirdly we offer you a seat at Our Council of War so that you may offer Us advice in matters of the safety and defense of Our Realm. Furthermore, We permit you to bear arms in the presence of Ourselves and Our heirs, to lead Our warriors in battle, and to defend Our persons, Our Laws, and Our prerogatives. We entrust to you the safety of Our Crown and Our Kingdom, in company with all Our Martial Peers. We do charge you with the tasks of keeping the Crown's peace, instructing all who wish to learn the art of armored combat, to perform worthy deeds, and to act in all manners and at all times and at all places as an inspiration to all who may see or hear you. This warrant We sign with Our hands on Saint Crispin's Day, AS 60, at Agincourt 18.

Kingdom of AEthelmearc - Service Award

Rejoice good people and hear the words of Andreas and Kallista, King and Queen of Sylvan AEthelmearc. Know that We, taking thought for the future of the Kingdom, are making this provision on the account of the actions of quiet service of Fredericus Vagus. We do demand that the Noble Order of the Keystone do take him within the said Noble Order and make him welcome and show him respect and comradery so that he might find comfort and refuge on those rare occasions where he wishes to take a break from the service that he offers. We decree that these things that have been rightly been awarded by Us and by Our Predecessors should not be disturbed through any kind of subterfuge, deception, or trickery. So do We sign this document with Our own hands on this 11th day of October, AS60, at Memento Mori. 

Inspired by English Charter S20 - A.D. 699 (Cilling, 8 April). Wihtred, king of Kent, to the churches and monasteries of Kent; confirmation of privileges.
