I've been so tied up with life stuff that my writing and posting about non-work things has dropped off sharply, for which I apologize. Several weeks ago, the excellent and remarkable Muirenn ingen Dúnadaig got a Silver Crescent for, among other things, her herald work. Here's the text:
Wilhelm, king of the East by the right of arms, and Vienna, his most beloved wife, queen by agency of the same right, to all who will see this charter, we extend greetings. The dignity of our nobility and royal mercy demands that we give benign and favorable assent to the just requests of all, so that anyone may enjoy the consolation of our protection and fostering comfort, and also to increase the tranquility and governance of our realm. Petition has been laid before us by notable persons of our realm and, finding much that is good, just, right and fitting in the said petition, we do find it meet to do the following: By this our royal charter we hereby do endow Muirenn ingen Dúnadaig, presently Blue Tyger Herald, with the Order of the Silver Crescent and all rights, privileges, freedoms and liberties attendant thereupon. And we do further grant unto the said Muirenn the right to bear arms in the form following: Argent, three fox's masks and a chief indented vert. So that no one presume to infringe on this endowment and grant, we have fortified the present page with our ensigns manual and caused it to be read aloud before witnesses upon 27 October, being the feast of Saint Abban, in the fifty-third year of the Society.
