<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Greetings to my fellow heralds,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I was asked this the other day, and thought I would
check with you....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Does a granted award or rank (i.e., aoa,
goutte, baroness etc) follow the persona, or the person?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Say "Gudrin" (the Norse persona) was granted
an award of arms. A couple of years later, the individual decides that
Italian really would suit them better.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Do we just notify the OP lists of the name
change? What if it is an earned rank individual, such as a baron(ess), man
at arms or Knight/Don?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Reasoning it through, we figured that the granted
award or rank follows the person, but were not sure.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thanks for your help. </FONT></DIV>
