The Hunt Guild Charter

"Man-hod I am,

therefore I me delyght

To hunt and hawke,

to nourish up and fede

The greyhound to the course,

the hawks to th' flyght

And to bestryde a

goode and lusty stede"

May it be known to all to whom these letters come that by this Charter we make our declaration

before heaven to honor and exalt the Art of the Hunt throughout the Known World. To this we

bind our Honor and Talents to form the Hunt Guild.

In this we declare the Beauty  of the World embodied by the graceful flying of hawks and the 

joyful running of our horses, hounds, and ferrets.  That our  Guild undertakes to advance the

knowledge of the Hunt; which cause we shall strive to further by pursuing excellence in the

research, care, and demonstration of the Art of the Hunt. This will include the study of Period

Hunting techniques and  the care and maintenance of the Hound, Horse, and Hawk in the Noble

manor, and their historical role in the Ancient, Medieval, and Renaissance world.

Sub-guilds are encouraged to register Heraldic badges for identification and livery upon the field, providing a pleasing Pageantry for the Crown and its Nobles. The Sub-guilds of Hunt Guild that fall within the Guild's charter include but are not limited to:

Hunter and Huntress named as  Archer,  Equestrian, Spearman, Trapper, Falconer, and any other

Hunters and Hunting Animals named as Horses, Hounds, Hawks, and Ferrets.

To this we Hunters pledge our sacred Faith and Honor  unto the Crowns of Known World and

unto our faithful charges and companions.

Blessed and signed by Their Royal Majesties,

SkeggiTaisiia
