Her Excellency The Baroness Of Seagirt's Own Grenadiers

Previously to AS 36, the winner of the Daffodil rapier tourney was referred to variously as Seagirt's Rapier Defender, Seagirt's Fencing Champion, and as The Daffodil Defender's Swashbuckling Side-kick.

The tournament in AS 35 was fought as a Machiavelli-style warlord tourney. A regular warlord (or snowball) tourney was fought bringing the fighters together in larger and larger teams until half of the field faced the other half of the field. This was the semi-final. These battle was fought to determine which teams' members would be fight in the final. The final was a melee; the last person standing was declared the victor.

After winning this tournament in AS 35, Mathieu Thibaud Chaudeau de Montblanc consulted with the Baroness of Seagirt who granted commission to the rapier fighters of Seagirt as Her Own Grenadiers. In future, the victor of this tourney (who's format was variable) was to be styled as Captain of Her Excellency The Baroness Of Seagirt's Own Grenadiers. The Captain's (as the Daffodil Defender's does) bears the responsibility to muster the Grenadier's for Sealion War and lead them into the battle.

In AS 37, Don Iain Archibald Guthrie won the tournament and gifted a cape depicting the orca of Seagirt's arms amid a semi of grenades.

At the beginning of AS 47, Baroness Janet Kempe presented the Grenadier's with a painted silk standard bearing the motto the grenadiers "QUOD TEMPUS EST PORTTITOR" (meaning "What time is the ferry?"). The standard was solemnly commissioned by Her Excellency Mogg, Baroness of Seagirt at a ceremony at a Seagirt combat practice. (By solemnly, the writer means to say, "by running up and down the field waving it madly and giggling")

The Grenadiers proudly carried their new standard in battle for the first time at Sealion War XLVII/2012.
