Okay,
I hope that I get this one right (Dame Tamlyn - please help if I mess up :-)

Dame Tamlyn is our Kingdom Scroll Roster Deputy.

She keeps the data and is working on getting it into a database format that we may all someday have access too (huge huge undertaking!)

As I once understood it - The Roster was reserved for those individuals who have had their name and personal heraldic device passed by the Heralds and entered into the Society Ordinary and Armorial.

Once these two things were in place, a Document (Scroll) could then be produced that was a "truer to historical" representation of 1) An Award of Arms, 2) A Grant of Arms or 3) A Patent of Arms (plus I think there might be one or two other types).

The Heraldic Blazon and Emblazon (Heraldic Achievement) would of course be included on this document and it would have the additional signature and seal of the Black Lion Principal Herald added to the seal and signatures of the Crowns who originally presented the award.


This may have changed (Dame Tamlyn please let us know)


otherwise, Dame Tamlyn also has the names of Scribes who might be looking also to do non-heraldic original scrolls
and I believe that she could get you in contact with some of them if you asked her.



Hopefully, we can make the type of information you are seeking - more readily available to the gentry in the near (or sort of near) future.
