Precedence

I definitely need to whip together the list of Civil Peers By Seniority. I was prompted to do Carolingia's list following the Frosty Revels Ball, when we spent a little time scurrying around so as to give the right answer to [livejournal.com profile] jdulac, when the toasts were due. It's clear I need to have the same list set up for the kingdom, and a copy stuck in my feast basket, not just on my pc.

It seems last night that [livejournal.com profile] jducoeur (May 1992) was in fact the second-most-senior non-Royal peer at feast. As far as we could tell, there was one pair of Count/Countess (Griffyth & Aikaterine, seated next to us), and one Pelican (Quentin), who outranked him, plus the Crown. All the other elder peers had gone home or out instead of staying to feast.

OK, I won't spoil your fun. If you don't ask me for the list, you can go ahead and use "when did you get your Peerage?" as a fun icebreaker, which I agree it usually is.

heh.

I will probably ask for one anyway. It is a terribly handy thing to have.
Then you have objective data when someone cannot recall dates, times or circumstances.

thank you for doing projects like this.
