[Regia-NA] Symbols of Rank

[Hazel Uzzell]

. Likewise Ladies seen abroad with suitable
burden-laden stewards and porters can be presumed to bear significant rank.

Guğrum
(Jarl of Galweg - no coronet but loads of retainers)

The Lady Aethelflaed of St Cuthbersland always has a handy 'bearer' for her
shopping when in kit, in fact wouldn't be seen abroad without one (or two)!

> We've seen crowns for Edward and Harold in the Bayeux
