Noble Title Document Appraisal

Life Title Proclamation from the Fifth Earl of Glenoe

This is a formal document or certificate granting the life titles of 'Baron of Ardgleann', 'Lord', 'Baroness of Ardgleann', and 'Lady' (honoris) to Mr. Scott and Mrs. Wendy Dyckman of Aurora, Ontario, Canada. The document is issued under the authority of Robert C. MacIntyre Jewell, identified as 'His Grace, Le Marquis de BenCruachan, Fifth Earl of Glenoe, Lord MacIntyre, and Hereditary Chieftain-Clan MacIntyre'. The cream-colored parchment-style paper features a black printed crest at the top depicting a hand holding a dagger with the motto 'PER ARDUA'. The body text is printed in a sophisticated serif and script font, dated March 13, 2007, A.D. A significant identifying feature is the physical red wax seal applied over a handwritten signature in black ink. The document is professionally presented within a brown and white double-mat border and is housed behind glass in a frame. The overall condition appears excellent with no visible foxing, tearing, or fading of the ink. Such documents are often associated with micro-nobility or heraldic societies rather than official government-recognized peerages, reflecting modern genealogical or honorary traditions from the early 21st century.
