lumineauxFor two fine ladies:
This first text was deliberately short and fairly simple. Molle is terribly shy about appearing before crowds and getting her in and out of court was a priority:
Gregor the King and Kiena the Queen, to our Molle Baker, right trusty and well-beloved we greet you oft times well. We have been credibly informed what diligence and faithful labors you have exercised for the benefit of our Realm and our people, not least among which being the many, varied and sundry acts of baking by which you have fortified our rapier fighters; and of the good friendship, benevolence and tenderness that you show to all persons. Willing that you should continue such good works, and as evidence of the favor of our good grace, we do now by these our present letters endow award you Arms, to wit: _____________________________ the said Arms to be
borne in perpetuity by you and the heirs of your body without let, hindrance or infringement on the pain of our just and righteous displeasure. Given at Carillion on 1 June in the forty-eighth year of the Society.
--------------------------------------------------------
For Charitye,, on the other hand, I had the opportunity to play. She has rocking Wriothesley-era arms and an authentic 16th cen. name, and I decided to work not only with the pun on her name but also with 16th cen. spelling:
By Gregor the Kynge. By Kiena the Quene. Wherfor it is wrytten that Charitye is vinculum perfectionis, the bond or chayne of perfection, wherewith we be knytte and joyned together into one; and wherefor the exercise of Charitye by good men and women serves the advauncement of the Reaulme and increases concord amonges her peoples, things we most desyreth and meaneth effectually by all maner of means possible; and wherefor Charitye Dale is a ladye most fitly and ryghtly named, for she has by her dyvers laboures improved the lot of our subjects; whereunto we do by these presente lettres, in the fullnesse of Royal sanctyon and authoritie, award the aforesayd Charitye these Armes, to be borne by her solely and singlely and in perpetuitye: Argent, on a bend cotised gules a fleur-de-lys between two cinquefoils argent, on a chief azure a cinquefoil between two fleurs-de-lys argent. Further, if any shall disobediently use themselfes to the breach hereof, we shall see the same duely punished, both for the qualitie of the offence and for the example to all others neglecting our so reasonable commaundement. Yeven at Carillion upon 1 June in the forty-eight year of the Society.
