Order of March
These are notes from a workshop at the Spring Heralds Retreat in 2019 - please see Kingdom Law for the official rules
Order of March is not the same as the Order of Precedence.... somehow...
In creating an Order of March, the precedence may be modified by, for example, putting a territorial baronage ahead of the others when the procession is within their own barony.
It may also be modified to accommodate the needs of the event at Their Majesties' event.
Inspired by Ansteorra:
The Order of March determines how a procession would march in precedence order towards the Crown. A gentle’s place in the march is determined by their highest rank and the date that rank was received. The gentle with the higher rank enters before those of lower rank. If two gentles have the same rank, the one that has held that rank longer enters first. For visiting Monarchs, Crown Heirs, Coronets, and Territorial Baronages, the date of the group’s elevation is used.
