And thanks to the efforts of the populace, Grete Boke officers, heralds, and friends of the Barony, a few of the moments have been preserved in time.
Terra Pomaria – The Name
It is said that the naming the branch was by consensus, which was contemplated and voted upon. Some sources say there were 7 submissions, others say 14 total. The #2 name was Willum Shire (Willamette Shire), and the #1 name was Terra Pomarium (Land of the Orchards). The Kingdom Herald later corrected the Latin form to Terra Pomaria.
It was initially registered with the College of Arms May AS XVIII/1984 as the “Shire of Terra Pomaria,” as the branch originally intended to be an independent shire. However, since it ended up relying on the sponsorship of Three Mountains in canton status, the name was reregistered in March AS XX/1986 along with the arms as the “Canton of Terra Pomaria.” Even though independent shire status was obtained at September Crown Tournament XXI/1986, the name was never re-registered as a shire. The final registration took place in January ASXXVII/1993 as the “Barony of Terra Pomaria.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”576″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
