Stowe's device

Stowe


The Baron & Baroness, while ever vigilant, do not necessary know to what extent people are deserving of Their recognition and rely on the populace of the Barony, her Canton & Colleges to assist them with that information. Therefore, Their Excellencies ask that you tell them about it by recommending people you think are deserving for a Baronial Award.

To do this, you should contact Their Excellencies Hrothgar æt Gytingbroce & Helene du Puy, the Baron & Baroness of Rowany, at rowany@sca.org.au

To see who in the Canton has what awards, visit the SOoP.

Baronial Awards

People often give of their time and expertise to assist others, both within the Barony and without it. These people deserve recognition. Accordingly, the Barony of Rowany instituted the following awards:

Order of the Golden Staple

The Staple is for Service to the Barony. The token is a medallion with "Per pale vert and gules, a staple Or" upon it, but has more recently been in the form of a large brass staple depended from two cords; red and green.

Order of the Rowan Berries

The Berries is for endeavours in the various Arts and Sciences. The token is a pouch bearing "Two rowan leaves conjoined vert, pendant therefrom three berries gules".

Frantic Falcon

The Frantic Falcon is for Event Stewarding "above and beyond the call of sanity". As the barony is host to the Rowany Festival, the Kingdom's largest event, you can imagine the necessity for this award.

Yeomanry
Those combatants who serve the Barony in its martial endeavours for considerable time are asked to join the Yeomanry. The badge of the Levy is an Ailette (shoulder plate - a precursor to the epaulette) bearing "Per chevron dovetailed argent and vert"

Baronial Guard

Along with the Baronial Champion, the four Baronial Guards serve the Baron and Baroness in matters both martial and pacific. The term of service is a Year. Two are changed at Yule Feast, and the other two are changed at Rowany Festival. The accoutrement of a Baronial Guard is a belt dovetail divided green and white lengthways with the symbol of the Rowany Berries on the tip.

Silver Cinquefoil

Ofttimes the Barony receives assistance from a gentle who lives outside the boundaries of the Barony - the Silver Cinquefoil is a mark of thanks and the esteem in which they are held by the Barony. The token is a silver cinquefoil (a five-lobed flower), either set as a pin, or as a pendant.
