Melchior's Silver Rapier

[lumineaux]

This one needed a quick turn around (as in, a few hours), so I didn't have time to look for German source material.  Oh well.

Gryffyth, King of the East, second of that name, and Aikaterine, our Queen, give greeting to those, all and singly, to whose notice this letter comes. In our Court held in our Barony of Bergental on the 22^nd day of January in the forty-fifth year of our Society, in the presence of our archbishops, bishops, abbots, earls, barons, burgh commissioners and other leading persons of our realm, and with the presence of the three estates thereof, it was declared by our Royal decision and judgment that Melchior Kriebel be and hereby is gifted and endowed with the emblems and insignia of the Order of the Silver Rapier. For the greater verification and corroboration of the foregoing, the present letter is hereby issued and completed under our great seal.

Text based on Mary Queen of Scots's letter of March 15, 1543 concerning the Earl of Arran.

Nice.

Thank you again!

I didn't do the scroll in a German style either, so at least they match.

Thank you! The scroll is beautiful. My boy is a very simple man and the clean, elegant script work fits him perfectly. I am amazed at how fast you guys were able to get it together. He is beyond thrilled. And I don't think he has stopped giggling yet.

Is it wrong that I can almost always tell when you've done the scroll being read and I get a snicker out of that?
But it was an awesome scroll! As always!

The Boy is beyond excited and thrilled. I believe he said, "And now I have an Alys scroll. Squee".

Thank you for getting this together so very quickly.

As inexplicable as I find it that people go squee for my words, thank him for me.

Also, as an FYI, I do take requests. If you know someone is getting an award who would like my style of wording, drop a note to me and I'll talk to the Tyger Clerk.
