Problem is, that's not what Carolingia was named after. "Carolingia" means (more or less) "of the Charles" -- we're named after the Charles River, which is also depicted on our device. And a nice Latin name like that sounds pretty good to a Renaissance persona like mine... -- Justin Random Quote du Jour: From Syr Murphy's laws of SCA combat: "6. Try to look unimportant, they may be low on arrows. 9. Teamwork is essential, it gives them someone else to shoot at. 14. Never draw fire, it irritates everyone around you."
