History
Adapting a military tradition that goes back to at least the Roman times, Abd al-Mahdi Jamal ibn Hakim created the King's Battle Ribbon. The acknowledgement is given at the King's discretion to those groups that excel in the preparation for and the participation in an official SCA interkingdom war. The recipient gains the right to carry and display the Centurions war banner until the next recipient comes along. After that they can affix and display a ribbon (an Or ribbon bearing in chief an Ansteorran star sable and the name of the war it was awarded for in gules).
