	Order of the Tantony: This award is given in recognition of outstanding achievement and contributions within the SCA by a member of the Barony of Skraeling Althing who is less than 16 years of age. The Tantony is the smallest bell in a carillon of bells. Even the smallest voice contributes to the harmony of the Barony. The Origin of the Tantony in Period The word "tantony" is a corruption of the phrase "tithe of St Anthony" and was originally used to refer to the runt of a litter of pigs. St. Anthony the hermit, was a swineherd, and is often represented with a belled pig. Friars of certain Hostels and Convents in England and France (sons of St. Anthony), were granted the privilege of allowing their swine to roam free in the streets to forage for food. Local farmers would tithe one pig from a litter to the Church and would often therefore donate the runt of the litter. These pigs were belled so that when they roamed free, the locals would know they were St. Anthony's pigs and would allow them to forage unmolested. These pigs became know as "tantony pigs" and the smallest of the church bells was given this name also in reference to these small animals.
