The Seneschal is the chief administrative officer and legal representative of the Barony.
The Herald coordinates several areas of activity. Book heraldry involves helping people research unique names and devices for their personae. Field heraldry coordinates the heraldic display, and the precedence, arrangement and announcement of matches on a tournament field. Criers make announcements during events. Court heraldry requires knowledge of the conduct of Royal courts, proper use of titles, bizarre name pronouncement, etiquette, and enough pizzazz to stand before a large group of hungry, tired people and delight them with your charm, yet not outshine the Royals. Good luck.
