The Armiger holds the undifferenced arms and is the head of the name, arms and family of Wedvick and thus in pre-1750 terms, a small chief, which in those days no one took cognizance of, but the chief of his family for all that. The armiger has an heiress presumptive, his daughter, Jessica Wedvick Schwartz ( see her file ).
The late S. A. R. Don Carlos de Borbón-Dos Sicilias y de Borbón-Parma, Duque de Calabria, Conde de Caserta, Infante de España and first cousin to King Juan Carlos of Spain, conferred the Honour of Knighthood upon the armiger as a Knight of Merit, Sacred and Military Constantinian Order of St. George, on 21 April 1995. More recently, upon submission of proofs, the armiger was raised to the noble grade of Knight Jure Sanguinis on 22 May 2009, these events being recorded in Book 2, Folio 160, under Number 1267 of the Constantinian archives.
Under the provisions of Section 7342, Title 5, US Code and Chapter 9, AR 600-8-22, the recipient was authorized to accept and wear the Sacred and Military Constantinian Order of St. George in Letter Orders, dated 8 September 1995, by Headquarters, Department of the Army, on the US Army uniform.
