 ===== History =====
@@ Line 36: / Line 34: @@
 In A.S. XXVI, the first Army of Ealdormere, under Prince David I and Princess Tangwystl, marched to the Pennsic War alongside the army of Calontir. Although SCAdians from the Ontario baronies had fought together since at least Pennsic VII this was the first time Ealdormere sent an army to Pennsic under its own banner.
-In A.S. XXX there was controversy over the Midrealm Crown banishing two senior peers of Ealdormere. As the debate continued separatist opinion in Ealdormere grew to the point that during the reign of Prince Mordain and Princess Aelflaeda, their Seneschal Sir Menken Brechen formed the Laws Committee in February, with the aim of becoming a Kingdom. The following year, during the reign of Princess Elisabeth and Prince Menken, the principality Seneschal, [[people:Moria the Black]] conducted a poll to determine if the populace of the Principality were supportive of the proposed advancement to Kingdom status - the result was overwhelmingly in favour. At the same time, at Their Highnesses' request, a referendum of the populace was held to determine if Rapier Combat would be allowed in the new Kingdom of Ealdormere. Although hotly debated at the time, the issue was decided in favour of allowing Rapier Combat to continue. Over the course of the next year, many moots and surveys were conducted to determine support for proposed laws and structures that the proposed Kingdom would adopt. Once the very large petition, with supporting documentation and proposed officer handbooks were assembled, the application for Ealdormere to advance to Kingdom status was taken to the Board meeting to be approved by the Board of Directors, in Janaury A.S. XXXII.

+Partially in response to The Midrealm's evolved award structure, Ealdormere's award structure was carefully planned from the start. It is essentially a "three-stream, three-tier" system. See the [[awards:award structure]] page for more details.
 The three "streams" are [[[[activities:martial:start|martial achievement]], [[activities:arts_sciences:start|arts & sciences]], and [[activities:service:start|service]]. The three "tiers" start with [[awards:award of arms|award of arms level]] awards, followed by [[awards:grant of arms|grant-level]] awards, and finally the [[awards:patent of arms|patent-level]] or "Peerage" awards. All these awards grant a place on the [[scaism:Order of Precedence]].
