The Lochac Company of Archers are a Companionship of archers who have been recognised by their peers as being Archers with high levels of chivalry, service, courtesy, courtly behaviour and accomplishment in Archery. They have therefore been made Companions of the Lochac Company of Archers in recognition of their achievements.
The Award of the Lochac Company of Archers is a Grant Level Award and ranks equal in precedence to the Order of the White Scarf, and higher in precedence than other varieties of Grants of Arms.
Companions of the Lochac Company of Archers may do research into any aspects of the art of missile and thrown weapons and advise the Lochac Earl Marshal and the Deputy Earl Archery Marshal for Archery.
The Lochac Company of Archers (LCoA) began in 2002 when the Kingdom of Lochac was proclaimed.
In 2017, in the reign of Ariston and Lilivati, the Crown signed an accord to recognise the equivalent orders from other Kingdom’s, echoing Aethelmearc’s Scarlet Guard Accord, Atlantia’s Treaty of the Yew Bow, and An Tir’s Grey Goose Treaty.
The first Companion of the Lochac Company of Archers was Hrothgar Breaksword – just after the proclamation of the Kingdom of Lochac.
From there, the Company has steadily grown as archers hone their skills in chivalry, service, courtesy, courtly behavior and accomplishment in Archery and develop the attributes necessary to become a Companion of the Order.
We are looking for those who support and practice period archery, excell at the target butts or on the war field with bow or thrown weapons.
There are currently only 23 Companions in the Order. Companions of the Order have the title of ‘The Honourable Lord/Lady’ if they do not already have that title, or Captain.
