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 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 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.

Ansteorra's system is numeric...a two-digit number for the award (the smaller the number, the bigger the award...King and Queen are 01, Prince and Princess are 02, etc.) and an eight-digit number for the year-month-day of award. So my "current" Ansteorra value is 1519960224, based on my receiving a Baronial Service Award (armigerous) in 1996. If I send my Eastern awards to the Ansteorran herald and ask them to be registered in the OoP, I'll have a "higher" (lower award number for the Peerage) value.

It's heraldry geek-ness.

Oh, and you're old, Your Excellency. (grin)
