The Order of Defense of Ansteorra

History

The core data of this document was carefully gathered by Mistress Gwenneth Bowynne of Glamorgan for a decade on a site hosted by Don Christian Jerome Doré. In January of 2024, knowing that Don Doré was going to be letting the site registration expire, Master Caelan MacRob reached out to the wiki staff and asked their assistance in preserving this treasure trove of lore. With both Doré and Gwenneth's consent, this data has been given a happy home in the public records of the Kingdom Historian, with updated information provided by the Order and the wiki team.

See: Order of Defense for information about the Peerage Order itself.
