The ceremonial heads of the Barony of Ynys Fawr are their excellencies Baron David de Darlington and Baroness Arabella de Darlington. They were invested as our seventh Baron and ninth Baroness on 7 March 2020, and their term will last around three or four years. You can reach them by email on david@ynysfawr.lochac.sca.org and arabella@ynysfawr.lochac.sca.org.
The role of the territorial (landed) Baronage is to represent the Crown and maintain Their presence in Their lands. They are selected by the Crown, after consultation with the populace, to fulfill a ceremonial and leadership role as the liaison between the populace and the Crown. The average term of office for a landed Baronage in Lochac is 3.8 years, in contrast to Officer terms of two years and Crown reigns lasting six months, so the Baronage also provides an element of continuity and institutional memory to the group and the Kingdom. They have the privilege to grant Baronial Awards to those members of the populace they find deserving of recognition, and they welcome recommendations for this. The Roll of Arms is maintained by Dromond Herald and lists all the subjects of the Crown in Ynys Fawr and its Canton, College and Hamlets who have been recognised.
