[MR] On referring to the top marshals

[Kevin of Thornbury]

Unto the patrons of the Merry Rose Tavern at Cheapside, greetings.

Recently, I made a reference to a laugh His Majesty caused at Curia,
mentioning that Atlantia might have to change the title of the Kingdom
Earl Marshal.  (I won't go into all the possible changes that we called
out, but some like "Court Marshal" were pretty funny.)

In fact, Corpora VI.C.1 states, "The Great Officers of a kingdom include
the Seneschal, the Principal Herald, the Earl Marshal, the Minister of
Arts, the Minister of Sciences, the Chancellor of the Exchequer
(Treasurer), the Chronicler, and the Chirurgeon. The Crown may raise
other officials to the status of Great Officers of State, temporarily or
permanently, in accordance with kingdom law and custom."

So, there will be no change to the title of "Kingdom Earl Marshal". 
Conversely, the Society Marshal is not referred to as the "Society Earl
Marshal".

I've been told that my parenthetical reference to the subject at Curia
may have confused some.  My apologies.  While I am a corporate officer,
please do not confuse that role as having to do with anything but
electronic publications.
