County Scroll for Ivan:
I was King's Bard for Ivan, so I was pleased to be asked to craft the words for his County. Mistress Eva Woderose and Duchess Thyra Eiriksdottir were the artists on the piece. They gave me a word count (125 to 150 words), a due date and the source text they were working with. The design had a large capital illumination as the first letter, which required open space in the middle. They suggested that the text of the scroll start with either a P, D, O, Q, C, G or U.

NOTES TO THE SCRIBES:
Ok. Without the Done this Day part it is 153 words. If you take some of the ands and make them "&"s then you can shorten it a little more.
If you want to use the C instead of the B for the initial Initial, then make Her first and Him second, and swap "Empress & Emperor" for "Emperor & Empress".
Since Ivan crowned her first, it would be 100% appropriate to make C first instead of B.
Let me know if you want it shorter. I could easily shorten it by taking out the whole "No Person" section, but I absolutely adore that section and it is the part that came out of the Spanish Jewish Synod source and I desperately want to keep it.
