The Barony of The Angels is currently held again by [[Uilliam mór MacGregor]] and [[Fara MacGregor]] at Angels Anniversary 09/17/2022

==Overview==
The Barony of the [[Angels]] is the oldest Barony in Caid, and the fourth oldest Barony in the SCA. Originally established in the Greater Los Angeles Basin, it was expanded to include Santa Barbara as the dual barony of Angels and [[Isles]], until Isles broke off on its own. Currently, the Barony includes the original area minus the territories formed from it: ([[Dreiburgen]], [[Lyondemere]], [[Gyldenholt]], [[Altavia]], [[Heatherwyne]], and the former College of [[Boethius]].

The name is taken from Los Angeles, which means "The Angels." Historical tidbit: the full name of the city of Los Angeles in Spanish is <i>El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles de la Porciúncula</i> - The town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels of the little portion. (The "little portion" refers to the tiny chapel used by St. Francis in Assisi, Italy, which is located on a "porziuncola" or "very small parcel of land.")

==Heraldry==

''Blazon:'' Gules, a standing seraph affronty proper, winged Or, haloed of a laurel wreath proper.

''Populace Badge:'' (Fieldless) a set of seraph's wings Or.[[Image:angelsbadge.png|200px]]

''Heraldic officer's title:'' [[Seraph]] The herald's title is derived from the major charge of the arms.
