    Calontir Herald’s Handbook Third Edition [updated 2014] This Page Intentionally Left Blank From the Gold Falcon Principal Herald Greetings to one and all! I would like to thank all those individuals who give of their time and efforts in the service of heraldry for the Kingdom of Calontir and the Society. Whether it’s through an aspect of vocal heraldry (making event announcements, handling camp cries, doing court); field heraldry (calling rounds, directing participants, announcing winners); pageantry (presenting combatants & consorts, helping with display, holding heraldic competitions); book heraldry (creating devices, documenting names, running consulting tables, providing commentary); ceremonial & protocol heraldry (researching period grants, writing scroll text, keeping an Order of Precedence); silent heraldry (assisting those with hearing impairments) or through support of those involved in an aspect of heraldry…the kingdom would not run as smoothly without your endeavors This is the third edition of the Calontir Herald’s Handbook published for both heralds within the kingdom and other individuals interested in the various aspects that the art and science of heraldry takes within the SCA and in Calontir specifically. We hope that all will find this publication to be a valuable resource. As the SCA’s knowledge of heraldry continues to develop there come changes to the standards and policies that heralds need to be aware of. Readers of this handbook will note some changes from previous editions, so whether you are new to heraldry, or are a more experienced herald, please take the time to read through the handbook to acquaint yourself with the material that it contains.

  • An Introduction to State Orders of Chivalry in the Nordic Nations
    Journal of Alternative Perspectives in the Social Sciences (2020) Volume 10 No 4, 691-700 An Introduction to State Orders of Chivalry in the Nordic Nations Oskar Aanmoen, Historian University of Oslo (Oslo, Norway) Abstract: The most famous orders of chivalry in the world belong to the great European powers such as Great Britain and Spain. The Nordic nations also have such orders of chivalry, although they are probably relatively unknown to the people living outside Northern Europe. In this article, I hope to be able to give the non-Nordic resident an introduction to the most central Nordic state-ruled orders of chivalry. I will emphasize the knighthoods in the three Scandinavian monarchies Denmark, Norway and Sweden, but I will also mention some aspects of the knighthoods of the territories of these nations and the two Nordic republics Iceland and Finland. 1. Introduction The Viking Age was the golden age of Northern Europe. At that time, the Scandinavian monarchies were some of the most powerful nations in Europe. After these nations were Christianized around the year 900/1000 AD, the nation's warrior fort became part of history. The nations of the north quickly became part of Europe's peripheral outpost. A collection of small, rather poor monarchies. This meant that orders of chivalry were something that came relatively late to the Nordic nations. Although the monarchs who ruled over the nations often received orders of chivalry from other nations, even no orders of chivalry they ruled over. It is important to keep in mind that in the period 1387-1523 all the Nordic nations and territories were united under the Kalmar Union and it can therefore be said that orders that existed during this 691 An Introduction to State Orders of Chivalry in the Nordic Nations period were valid in all the Nordic kingdoms.
