Overview
The Order of Saint Cecily with the Cup (BPR) is a Barony-level non-armigerous award that recognizes heralds or bards who have distinguished themselves in service to the Barony. The unique stylization of the award, "Bearer of the Pinot Noir", originated from a herald mispronouncing the name of the Poignard Noir award.
The Order was chartered on December 10, A.S. LI (2016) by King Robert and Queen Magge of the Outlands, with the charter attested by Angus Reid MacFarlane, White Stag Principal Herald. The premier recipient was Vanozza da Corbetta.
Purpose and Recognition
The Order of Saint Cecily with the Cup honors those who have provided memorable heraldic or bardic service, making a significant impact on the Barony. Recipients are styled as Bearers of the Pinot Noir and may use the post-nominal letters BPR.
This is a non-armigerous award, meaning it does not grant the right to bear arms.
Badge and Regalia
The insignia of the Order, subject to approval by the College of Heralds, is:
(fieldless) on a bezant a two handled jug purpure.
