    There is nothing wrong with displaying and fighting under your Lady's
heraldry, and this has been done a number of times, including by me.  The
purpose of that statement was to make it clear that the consorts do not have
to have passed heraldry if her heraldry is not being fought under.
Basically, if you want to fight in Crown, whosever arms you wish to fight
under (i.e. on the Shield Tree) needs to be passed, or a reasonable attempt
made to do so.

As to another questions just asked.

"I'm *really* not trying to start an argument, or flame war, or stir the
pot...

But why?

Why is it important for the average SCAdian to have heraldry? I honestly
would
like to hear opinions on it."


The answer is simple, an entrant in Crown, fighting to be the Monarch of the
greatest Kingdom in the SCA, is not a "average" SCAdian.
Besides, heraldry is cool.
