The Award of the Purple Fret is an award given by the Crown to
individuals who have been recognized for service to a group, office, or
Kingdom. The recipient was Terentia Faustina, read into court at the
Masque of Courtly Love on 3/1/2014.
The Award of the Purple Fret was created on pergamenata with
Windsor-Newton goauche and Speedball calligraphy ink using a C3 nib.
The text reads as follows:
Before those here assembled it shall be know that we
Cellach, King by right of arms of the Middle Kingdom, and Vukasin our
Queen, do recognize the exemplary service that Terentia Faustina hath
freely given through her dedicated work as a Minister of the Arts and
Sciences. Therein, we publicly commend her and are pleased to bestow
upon her the Award of the Purple Fret without let or hindrance. Given by
our hands this first day of March, Anno Societatis XLVIII (48), in our
Marche of Alderford.[Greco-Latin: Gaudium scientia et servitium, “the joy of learning and service” in the quatrefoil.]
