Gender-Neutral Titles

From MiddleWiki

In July 2018 (A.S. 53), Noble, Armiger, and Nobilis were added by as gender-neutral titles for those holding an Award of Arms or Grant of Arms by the SCA College of Arms.[1]

Usage

Armiger literally means a person who bears arms. The word was used after names in our period, as in "Garlof Ducheman, Armiger". We approve its use as a title in the form "(Given Name), Armiger" or "(Name), Armiger."

We approve Noble as a title used before a given name, as in "Noble Sampsoun" or "Noble Edwarde".

Added "nobilis" as gender-neutral Latin title. E.g. "Secundus, Nobilis".
