    From THAT site:
    "The Barony today, is in the possession of the Harden Family. The first Harden to hold the Title was Barry George Harden (As recognized by Letters Patent from the Lord Lyon, King of Arms). Barry was born 1945 to William Harden, of Gillingham, Kent, a Decorated longtime member of the Royal West Kent Regiment. In August of 2006, The Barony was passed down to the current and 16th Baron, Mark Harden of Cowdenknowes ( View Armorial Achievements and Heraldry of the Harden's of Cowdenknowes)."

    As to the validity/relevance of a barony, I'll leave THAT up to the parties here.

    Mark's heraldry:

    Mark, however, wears the feathers and works with Lord Lyon, SO I assume he knows SOMETHING about it and has "rights" to what he claims.
    MacWage,

    I have to admit that if the Lord Lyon, King of Arms has said it so, that should make it sufficent. That is about as high as you can get in the scheme of things. He is the one who has the right to officially recognize a new clan chief or not recognze him. I understand there is here is no higher authority in this matter.

    I don't think it right to let you bow out that easy. We do need your thoughts in these matters. I suspect Gilmore owes you an apology - I'll apologize in his behalf. I've got strong shoulders.
