Scroll for Johannes filius Nicholai

My first official kingdom-level scroll!  I was assigned a backlog AoA for Johannes filius Nicholai, a man from Bergental who was given a promisary scroll for an AoA at Bergental Yule.  The information I was given about him was that his persona was roughly 13th century.

Since All Things Scribal isn't until this weekend, I scooted over to Honig's for a quick lesson in proper gilding.  It's sooooo much easier with the proper tools and sizing!

The piece was inspired by a 13th century Bible, with select Masses, in Latin, Illuminated in the style of, and perhaps by, William de Brailes.  I was fortunate that this Lord had regestered arms already, and so was able to complete the scroll.  I remembered to "sign" it this time with my crane and martlet and hopefully, it will bring him much joy to look upon.
