 ====== Patent of Arms ======
-A **Patent of Arms** is the highest award that can be bestowed in the [[scaism:society for creative anachronism|SCA]]. It is rarely given on its own, rather an individual is normally inducted into one of four polling orders: the [[Order of Chivalry]], the [[Order of the Laurel]], the [[Order of the Pelican]], and the [[Order of Defense]].  Together, these orders are known as Peerages, and their members are known as Peers of the Realm.  They all hold equal rank.
