Removals of Caps of Maintenance and Coronet

edit

In keeping with Scottish Feudal law and custom:

I had placed a Cap of Maintenance above the Arms of the Lord of Garlies, which you removed. He is entitled by the Lord Lyon Court to such a Cap as both Lord of Garlies and Baron of four separate Baronies. It should have nothing to do with the size of the shield.

The Lord of the Regality of Mordington has his Cap of Maintenance above his shield.

In addition, I had placed a Feudal Circle of Gold as Coronet above the Cap of Maintenance of the Feudal Countess of Crawfurd-Lindsay, both of which you removed. She is entitled to a Cap of Maintenance both as Feudal Countess and as Baroness of Auchterutherstruther by the Lord Lyon Court. This has nothing to do with the size of her oval.

By Scottish law and custom, all ranks of Feudal Dignities are entitled to a Cap of Maintenance. XiaoCielo (talk) 21:50, 7 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Feudalism ended in Scotland with the Scotland Act 2000 which was implemented in 2004, with special protection for baronage titles (that were feudal titles tied to the land) to become personal titles. Therefore post 2004 it is incorrect referring to these titles as feudal. If you wish to make material changes to the baron list that effects the uniformity of the page, then you need to propose it on the Talk page of that page and reach consensus with other editors. As you're claiming a baron should have a coronet (which is normally for peers) on that talk page also please provide your case and evidence links there. FYI there certainly is no Scottish law stating barons are entitled to a cap of maintenance, and in fact Lyons dropped issuing it some years ago since the end of feudalism 2004 law change. Furthermore, the barons list page does have them, but the Lords and Earls page does not as the shields are bigger as there are less barons. As mentioned, if you wish to make a design change suggest it on the relevant Talk page and reach consensus with editors. I also believe that from your editing history you appear to be a baron yourself connected to ones you keep editing, so please be aware of conflict of interest.

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Baron of Renfrew (title), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Barons.

Kellycrak88: Is the Bachuil Cap of Maintenance Error yours?

edit

I have not established the source as Kellycrak88, but if you inserted the erroneous Cap of Maintenance in the illustration of the coat of arms in the Baron of the Bachuil page, please consider correcting it. The cap of the Bachuil is "gules furred vair", not "gules furred ermine" like the majority of Scots baronies. See my comment in the Talk page for the Bachuil and its references, and consult the text of the article itself. The Bachuil cap is also shewn wrong in the Baronage of Scotland table of baronies. If you are not responsible for the errors, my apologies, and please convey this corrective message to those who are. 172.56.91.196 (talk) 05:35, 27 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
