A proposal is currently before the Board of Directors to create a peerage for Rapier and ‘Cut and Thrust’ martial activities. The proposal was created by the Additional Peerage Exploratory Committee, which was created by the Board of Directors.

The Easterners on the Committee were Earl Kenric aet Essex and Mistress Alys Mackyntoich.
