Overview

The Sable Shield of Ansteorra is a non-armigerous acknowledgement (not award) that is given to those who have served in the armed forces.

Award Charter

"By Edict this Day, ______________ Is/Are bestowed the award of the Sable Shield of Ansteorra.

Insignia/Badge

The insignia for the acknowledgement is an unadorned escutcheon, sable. Later iterations have included the insignia of the specific branch of the military the individual served in.
There is not a scroll/charter for this acknowledgement.

Precedence

As this is not an award per-se as recognized by Corpora, there is no precedent associated with it.

History

The Sable Shield was created by our 50th Crown, Miguel Sebastian de Oporto & Conall Ó Ríoghbhardáin.

Trivia

  • The Sable Shield was the first acknowledgement ever received by Elizabeta di Valore della Rosa.
  • The acknowledgement is given to the individual, rather than the Persona.
