My coat of arms

[Sir John of Felsenbau]

I was just wondering when my coat of arms will be posted on your roster. I did send Ed a copy and he sent one back for my approval, which I gave.

[Sir Edward]

Hi there! The order roster is for members, so you'll have to look into joining the order first. The nutshell version of how that works is that you need two knights to sponsor you for membership. Up until this week we didn't have any knights, so we were a bit crippled by our rules. Now we have a few. The best way to get sponsors right now is to participate here on the forum and let us all get to know each other.

On the other hand, there's also the "Knight Pages" section of the website. You can post whatever you like there, since you're already a member of the forum.

[Sir John of Felsenbau]

Well, I have been posting and think I have a lot to give to the organization. Since Matthew was the one who steered me to this site, and I have sommunicated with Ed via his private e-mail, would those two be willing to stand for me as a knight? Thanks.

P.S. I do have a copy of the creation (text) of a knight that they did back then. I also have other things relating to knighting, white surcoat, red hooded cape, etc. (If one wanted to do the knighting thing properly. (I sort of wrote a treatise on Knighthood)

[Sir Edward]

Good, good. Did you say you're near the PA renfaire? Maybe we can meet up there this year? I forget what the dates are. Doesn't it open in August?

Feel free to join in on more conversations here. You'll find we're all very friendly and chatty.

Matthew hasn't been knighted yet, but he's a founding member. Please bear with us since we're really just getting started. But we definitely would like to get to know you better and look forward to your contributions.

I would be interested to read it if you are willing to post and share it with us.

[Thorsteinn]

Just curious....

How many here can speak their Arms heraldicaly?

How many here can't but have a copy of what they are close at hand?

How many need to know how that's all done?

See I do not know mine in herald speak but I have a copy of what it is in my wallet. Someday I'll learn them, it's only been 20+ yrs.

[Sir Edward]

If I think and speak slowly/carefully, I can work through mine and speak something close to what it should be. It's a lot harder than just reading it off my website.

[Sir William]

Seeing as I need to come up with a new one, I can't verbalize it just yet.

[Sir Brian]

Yeah I unfortunately have not yet mastered the oratorical equivalent of Copy and Paste!

[Thorsteinn]

I must admit that I cheat by looking it up on Rolls.Westkingdom.org, and it's:

Azure, a point pointed and in chief an axe between in fess two arrows argent.

[Sir Matthew]

I can speak mine in heraldric, but don'e ask me to speak of anyone else's I only know mine because I researched what I wanted and had some kind assistance in the verbage from my fellow board members here.

Sir John, I don't really remember you, sorry, but that's not all that unusuall. I see alot of people at Faire and my job so remembering names and faces just doesn't always happen. If you will happen to be a Celtic Fling at PaRF let me know and we can try to set up a meeting to refresh my memory. If not, catch me anytime you get up to PaRF. I'll be part of the Trayned Band so just wonder down into camp and ask for me. We're all pretty freindly down there and someone will point you my way.

[Sir Wolf]

John, do you have any larger pictures of your outfit? Also one of your COA? Have you sought out 2 formal knights to sponsor you yet?

[Sir Wulf]

Or two lions passant sable, one over the other

[Sir John of Felsenbau]

I have no idea how ro get two knights to sponsor me. I was directed here by one member who I met on the PA Ren Faire message board and have e-mailed Ed.

My tretisie on Knights is very long with loads of pictures...so don't know if it would even send in an e-mail. The pictures take up a lot of room. I don't know how to add a picture to a post, or I'd post my coat of arms there. I did have it copyrighted in the US so noone else can use it. Plus as far as the Pope, the church and the Knights of Columbus is concerened...I "am" Sir John. It was really cool gettting the accolade.

[Sir Edward]

Very cool. The Knights of Columbus appear to be an upstanding group.

For pictures, the easiest is probably to upload them to a site like Photobucket or Flickr, and then copy-and-paste the forum links they provide into your message.

For a document, that's a little harder. But if you wanted to make a copy available to people, you can email it to me, and I'd be happy to put it on the server.
