<p>Resolving disambiguation</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The Grant of Arms is an [[Awards|award]] given by [[the Crown]]. [[Grant]] level awards are considered more ennobling than those that confer an [[Award of Arms]]. <br /> <br /> The Grant of Arms is a [[SCA|Society]]-wide type of award.<br /> <br /> [[Arms]] which are given to the recipient by grant denotes an intermediate stage of nobility between the [[armiger]], who is given arms by [[award]], and the [[Peer]], who is given arms by [[Patent of Arms|Letters Patent]]. <br /> <br /> According to [[Kingdom Law]] in the Middle, grants of arms are made to Great Officers of State who have served successfully for six months, and this is sometimes referred to by heralds as a &quot;naked grant&quot; and a rare honor, though lower in precedence than the grant-level orders listed below. Such honorees may use the letters [[GoA]] after their names.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Precedence ==<br /> A Bare Grant of Arms is below the other Grant-level Orders:<br /> * [[Gold Mace]]<br /> * [[Evergreen]]<br /> * [[White Lance]]<br /> * [[Greenwood Company]]<br /> * [[Bronze Ring]]<br /> <br /> and above the Orders of the [[Willow]] and [[Silver Oak]]. <br /> <br /> ==Rights and Privileges ==<br /> Person who hold their arms by grant are titled [[The Honorable]] [[Lord/Lady]] and may be addressed as His/Her [[Lordship/ladyship|Lordship/Ladyship]]. The [[Gender-Neutral Titles]] of Armiger, Noble, or Nobilis (Latin) are available to those who prefer them.<br /> <br /> They may also wear a collar of maintenance and display their arms in full achievement with two supporters.<br /> <br /> Holders of Grants of Arms by virtue of past service to the Middle Kingdom as Great Officers of State may use a Dragon Crest in displaying their arms. Same crest is reserved to these holders of Grants of Arms. Holders of Grants of Arms by virtue of service prior to becoming a great officer of the Middle Kingdom may be granted the right to use a Dragon Crest in displaying their arms. Only Great Officers of State who have received the Grant of Arms for that service, may use the dragon as a crest.<br /> <br /> ==History ==<br /> A grant of arms now accompanies several kingdom orders of high prestige, the [[Dragon&#039;s Heart]], [[Gold Mace]], [[Evergreen]], [[White Lance]], [[Greenwood Company]] and [[Bronze Ring]]. See [[Order of Precedence]]. Members of such an order may use the letters appropriate to the order after their names, (e.g. [[CDH]]), but not GoA unless they were given a &quot;naked&quot; grant.<br /> <br /> For a time in the late 1990s, &quot;naked grants&quot; were also made to other deserving persons as their majesties saw fit, but this practice is rare after the honors reorganization of April 2000.<br /> <br /> The first person in the Middle Kingdom to receive a Grant of Arms was ? <br /> <br /> [[Category:Awards]]</div>
