One of the duties of Plover Herald is to work with Wimble Herald on the processional before Their Majesties' tournament. In that light, please put the following gentles in the Order of March (as of the most recent revision of the OP, being 9 Jan 05).

Devon Drakeson
Francesca di Pavia
Gunwaldt Gullbjørn
Leah de Montgomerie of Lark Hall
Ophelia Mulryan
Paul Jameson of Sutton
Raven the Trickster
Steitan der Bogenschutz
Ton the Traveler
Yazida bint Zarif

Remember, you get a point for getting the correct answer (and there can be more than one winner), and a point for trying. Remember, this is the Order of March, not the Order of Precidence (it makes a difference!).

I thank everyone who participated in this week's challenge. I introduced a little quirk into this one using Maestra Francesca, Baroness Ophelia, and Jarl Gunwalt: by virtue of their awards, they have multiple places in the Order, depending on the desires of the Crown and those processing. With HE Francesca, comes after Leah, being treated either as a visting Great Officer (President of the Board) or as a Laurel. If HE Ophelia desires, she can march as Baronesses of the Court after Armigers (like Raven). Finally, if the Crown desires to highlight their achievements, HE Francesca and HE Gunwaldt can also march 'last' as Walkers of the Way.

As Timothy said, Maestra Francesca is mundanely the President of the Board, which I listed as a Visiting Great Officer. Even if her status as President of the Board is discounted, her position does not effectively move, since she still comes after Leah (as Kingdom Seneschal).

The correct answer is as follows:

Baroness Yazida bint Zarif [TBAR Caer Galen] (OP #67)
Sir Ton the Traveler [Count Atenveldt: 1977] (OP #26)
Jarl Gunwaldt Gullbjørn [Count Outlands: 1986] (OP #29)
