Absolutely.  In fact, we hope even to increase it.  Having an 
entourage allows a baron and baroness to do two things:  create a 
spectacle, and involve the populace.

Having an impressive court -- one with an honor guard, attendants, 
heralds, pages distributing largesse, and more -- allows those who see 
it to believe that the people at the center of it truly are a baron and 
baroness.  Further, that they are a baron and baroness of an important 
and wonderful barony.  It's our hope that by having elaborate court 
processions, we can make the populace proud to be Carolingian.

Having an impressive court -- one with an honor guard, attendants, 
heralds, pages distributing largesse, and more -- allows more people to 
participate.  More people participating, more people enjoying themselves 
at SCA events, is good for the barony and for the SCA at large.
