Versus Eleanor Leonard, A mullet of four points distilling a goutte, There is one CD for fielded versus fieldless, and another for the difference between a mullet of four points and a compass star. Given the recognized independent heraldic existence of a compass star in the SCA, noted by its separate name, Laurel sees no problem in granting a CD between them, especially when used as the primary charge.

The LoAR of February 1992, page 10, noted that "the assumption (until proven otherwise) is that mundane badges were displayed only in solid tinctures (including the furs)." Although there was some discussion on this issue, no one has yet presented any evidence that mundane badges were displayed in divided tinctures. Thus, this is clear of the badge of James III of Scotland, a fleur-de-lys, with a CD for fieldlessness and a CD for the divided tincture.

Athena Zahraa' Chandani. Name.

Submitted as Athena Zahraa' al-Chandani. The name has been modified to drop the particle.

We are willing to accept it as a name without the article based on its entry in Qazi, cited in the LoI.

Jared le Tregettur. Name and device. Per bend sinister azure and vert, in bend sinister three bezants.

The submission form, missing when this was considered in December, 1991, have now been forwarded.

Marcus Andronicus. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Nice device! [Tell the client Laurel said, "Nice moon!" (before he realized how it might be taken).]

Na'arah bat Avraham. Badge. [Fieldless] A goutte argent, hurty.

Niamh nic Cháirthinn. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Phillippe d'Avignon. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Ragnald de Vigne. Release of name and device. Or, on a pall inverted sable, three gloves erased, fingers to center argent.

Ragnar Magnússon. Name and device. Gules, on a bend sinister bretessed argent a halberd reversed sable, in chief a boar passant argent.

Robert Robare the Rhos. Name and device. Sable, a bull statant to sinister, on a chief Or, two dragons passant gules.

The temporal gap between the first part of the name and the epithet has never been a reason for return in the past and we are uncomfortable with making it a reason for return now. We would much prefer to see the standards in this area raised through a process of education rather than by fiat from Laurel. This name is not going to be jarring to the vast majority of the Society's membership by reason of its temporal incompatability, nor do we believe that the Society or the College will be well served by a return for "temporal incompatability" at this time.

Robert Robare the Rhos. Badge. Sable, a bull statant to sinister, on a chief triangular Or, a dragon passant gules.

Robert of Holliston. Name and device. Per pale argent and sable, a mullet of eight points pierced counterchanged.

Roland Löfhjälm. Name correction from Roland Löfjhälm.

This was corrected in the Errata Letter of 10 September 1991.

Rose de Le Mans. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Sata Naya Satirovna. Name.

Somhairle Findlayson. Name correction from Somharile Findlayson.

This was corrected in the Errata Letter of 10 September 1991.

Sorcha Bermyngeham. Name and device. Gules, an owl argent, on a point pointed Or an acorn inverted, slipped and leaved vert.

Stephan of Bellatrix. Badge. Sable, a label and a bordure embattled argent.

Stephen MacAlpine. Device. Or, a lion rampant to sinister guardant within a sash in annulo knotted in base sable.

Despite Lord Laurel's (and Lord Batonvert's) remaining questions regarding the use of a sash as a Period heraldic charge, nearly all of the other commenters wholeheartedly supported the appeal to allow its use.

Styvyn Longshanks. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Lord Dragon found some documentation in both middle and late period England which tends to supports the client's requested spelling of the given name.

Taliesin o'r Parc. Name and device. Sable, a lotus flower affronty and a mount argent.

Teleri Tawel. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Thomas Flamanc of Kelsale. Name change from Thomas the Troubadour.

Thorhild Sigurdsdottir. Name and device. Per pale sable and gules, a Thor's hammer within a bordure argent.

Please ask the client to draw the bordure wider.

Tomas Waegmund. Name.

Tristan Halsson. Name change from David Ravn and change of device. Per fess ermine and vert, a winged cat statant to sinister sable.

Nice armory! His currently registered device, Argent, a giant dung beetle proper, becomes a badge.

Ulf the Skraeling. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Wäldt von Markheim. Badge. [Fieldless] A goutte argent ermined vert.

West, Kingdom of. Title for Matins Pursuivant.

William Dragonhelm. Name and device. Vert, an anchor bendwise fouled of a pithon Or.

Wulfric of Creigull. Badge. [Fieldless] A goutte per pale vert and argent.

His currently registered badge, Vert, crusilly Latin argent, is released.

THE FOLLOWING SUBMISSIONS HAVE BEEN RETURNED:

AN TIR

Edmund Godric Scrymgeour. Device. Quarterly azure and argent, maily counterchanged.

Conflict with Boyneburg (Reitstap), Quarterly azure and argent. There is one CD for the addition of the field treatment.

Katherine Payne. Device. Gules, ermined Or, on a bend Or three owls palewise gules.

Conflict with Cheynell (Papworth, p. 230), Paly of six argent and azure on a bend Or three martlets gules. There is one CD for the changes to the field, but the change in type only from martlets to owls is insufficient to apply X.4.j.ii. We might suggest cotissing the bend as a way to clear the conflict.

ANSTEORRA

Aidan Aileran O'Comhraidhe. Badge change for House Silver Scythe. Per fess wavy azure and argent, a bar wavy azure, overall two straight-hafted scythes in saltire, points outward, argent.

The scythes have unacceptably poor contrast on the lower half of the field (argent on argent disappears entirely). The visual effect of the bottom half of the field (which is drawn as less than half the field) is of a field per fess wavy azure barry wavy argent and azure. Blazoned this way this is a conflict with Prayers (Papworth, p. 1088), Gules, two scythes in saltire argent, with one CD for the field.

Treloch, Shire of. Name.

The submitted form appears to be very unlikely, and contains elements from two different languages which do not appear to have been combined in period. Similar, documentable forms would appear to be the Cornish Trelogh (farm by the lake), or the Gaelic Trilochan (three lochs), both documented by Lord Dragon in his LoC.

ATENVELDT

Alexandra de la Mer Verte. Device. Or, a bend sinister vert between a mortar and pestle and an inkwell and quill sable.

Conflict with Pedrwn Merchion, Or, a bend sinister vert between a sword palewise and a double bitted axe palewise sable. There is one CD for the change of secondary charges only.

Alexandra de la Mer Verte. Badge. Sable, on a vested arm fesswise embowed issuant from dexter holding a sword argent, a compass star sable, in chief a lit candle argent.

The badge is very complex in that it is unbalanced and appears to have no cohesiveness or unity of design. As such it must be considered a non-period design.

Angela Sara María Díaz de Valdés. Blazon correction. Paly of eight gules and Or, three towers in fess sable.

As a number of commenters noted, we normally do not blazon the number of traits in a paly field unless there is some overriding need to. Paly fields are most commonly of six or of eight, and neither needs to be blazoned.

Anna Zauberkünsterlin. Device. Or, a fox rampant gules wearing a fool's cap vert, in chief three golpes one and two all within a bordure dovetailed sable.

With four types of charge in five tinctures, this exceeds the complexity limits of RfS VIII.1.a. This would probably be acceptable if the client would make the color of the bordure one of the other colors already used in the device. (Either gules or purpure would probably work best.)

Atenveldt, Kingdom of. Badge for the Order of the Lions of Atenveldt. Per pale argent and azure, a lion's head cabossed and a bordure Or.

Conflict with Caitlin MacDonnell, Vert, a lion's head erased affronty Or, gorged of a wreath of thistles purpure slipped and leaved vert within a bordure Or. There is one CD for the field, but nothing for cabossed versus erased affronty, and the gorging on Caitlin's device does not have the weight of a tertiary charge and so cannot add difference here.

Myrddina O Duir of the Whisper Wood. Name.

Myrddina appears to be an incorrectly feminized form of the Welsh Myrddin. O Duir appears to be incorrectly formed either in Welsh (the purported language) or Gaelic: the Welsh would appear to be "o'r Ddâr" and the Gaelic to be "na Duir". Whisper Wood does not appear to be formed by any standard locative naming practice that any of the commenters could find. The biggest problem, however, is the combination of a Merlin-variant name with of the oak in any language is an excessive reference to the Merlin of Arthurian legend.

ATLANTIA

Aislynn Fyrlocc. Name.

"Fire-lock" does not appear to be an epithetical name constructed on Period patterns of naming. Most descriptive epithets are much more literal, such as Dustiberd. As noted by one commenter, "fire-hair" would appear to describe a cooking accident much more than a hair color.

Ebonhawke, College of. Name and badge. Sable, a hawk's head and a bordure embattled Or.

The name does not appear to be constructed in any reasonable Period manner. Ekwall does not appear to have any uses with hawk as a second element, nor could any of the commenters discover one. The word ebon does not appear to be used in any save a most literal sense (relating to ebony) until the very last of the 16th Century. We need some documentation that this is formed on a period pattern before we may register it. The badge conflicts with the arms of von Almbeck (Seibmacher, p. 157), Sable, an eagle's head couped Or. There is only one CD for the addition of the bordure.

Isabel of Biconyll. Device. Per fess gules and argent, a fess counterchanged between a lion rampant argent and a beacon sable, flamed gules, atop a mount sable.

Conflict with von Reden (Siebmacher, p. 179), Per fess gules and argent, a fess counterchanged. There is one CD for the addition of the secondaries.

CAID

Isabeau Bonheur. Device. Argent, a dolphin urinant contourny proper between flaunches vert.

Conflict with Brendan MacRonan, Argent, a dolphin urinant vert. There is one CD for the addition of the flaunches, but nothing for reversing the fish in this position, or for the difference between "vert" and "vert, marked gules".

Merit-Ankht-Sekeret neth Yunit-ta-Netert. Name.

We need more evidence that this name follows proper Egyptian syntax to determine whether or not the name is properly formed. While the name appears to be constructed of some valid elements, it is unclear that they are assembled correctly. No evidence was presented to demonstrate a pattern of naming practice with which the byname conforms, and the placename is not documented as to proper construction, grammar, or as a practice in Egyptian. We need documentation on all of these aspects of the name before we can register it.

While a number of commenters argued that ancient Egypt (and ancient Egyptian names) is outside the scope of the Society, unless and until the Board of Directors places an early cutoff date, we must continue to consider names such as this one as legitimate submissions.

Rhiannon o Hafan Gath. Device. Sable, six arrows Or.

Conflict with St. Ursula (Fabulous Heraldry #12), Azure, semy of arrows Or, flighted argent. There is one CD for the field, but nothing for the number of arrows (six is not considered different from a semy) or for the change in tincture of the fletching only.

CALONTIR

None.

EAST

Aedan MacCormac. Device. Purpure, a sinister hand aversant fesswise proper maintaining a chalice Or.

Conflict with Herald of Pleasure, Gules, a dexter gauntlet fesswise proper holding a goblet Or. There is one CD for the field but no difference for either type (hand vs. gauntlet) or tincture (proper [metal] v. proper [metal]) of the primary charge, and the visual similarties when comparing the two emblazons were overwhelming.

Cassandra of Kendal. Device. Sable, a bow and arrow drawn and sinister facing and on a chief argent three trefoils vert.

Conflict with Ragnar Thorbergsson, Sable a drawn bow fesswise arrow knocked and on a chief argent, three trees eradicated proper, as cited in the LoI. There is one CD for the orientation of the primary charge but the change to type only of the tertiaries is not great enough to apply X.4.j.ii., and comparing the two emblazons graphically demonstrated the overwhelming visual similiarity between these two devices.

Francesca di Monopoli. Device. Or, three martlets vert within a bodure compony vert and argent.

Conflict with Chaunceler (Papworth, p. 329), Or, three parroquets vert. There is one CD for the addition of the bordure but the differences between martlets and parroquets, which are more or less a generic bird, are two small to grant the necessary second.

Genevieve de Mowbray of Lion's Rest. Badge. [Fieldless] A torch enflamed sable.

Conflict with Barony of the Flaming Gryphon, Ermine a torch sable enflamed proper. There is one CD for the fieldlessness, but the flames do not "constitute half the charge" as stated in the LoI, so changing their tincture does not count for the second CD.

Gwenllian ferch Madog Llangollen. Device. Argent, a harp sable between in cross four mullets vert.

Conflict with Harpen (Rietstab), Argent a harp sable. There is one CD for the addition of the secondaries.

Lanassa he Levkene. Name.

We need documentation that this form the byname is indeed correct. No documentation on the form of the byname was included in the Laurel packet, and Lord Dragon believes that Lannassa Leukadia or Lannassa he Leukadia are much more likely.

Morganna of Griffin's Tower. Device change. Per pale Or and purpure, a griffin segreant within a bordure embattled, both per pale gules and argent.

Listed on the LoI as a device correction on the basis that the consulting mixed up the tinctures, the color emblazon in Laurel's files matches the registered blazon in the Armorial and Ordinary. If she wishes to change them, she must submit a device change with a new emblazon form and the appropriate fees.

Muirdeach of Carrigart. Badge. [Fieldless] A Celtic cross Or.

Conflict with Pagan le Chaunster, [Fieldless] An equal armed Celtic cross Or, registered April 1992. There is one CD for fieldlessness, but that is all.

Oriana the Fair. Device. Or, two horses forseny salient addorsed sable.

Conflict with the city of Stuttgart (Seidmacher, 225), Or, a horse salient sable. There is one CD for the addition of the second horse. Versus Mary of Tamar, cited in the LoI, Or, two levriers rampant addorsed sable, it is not at all clear that X.2 does apply between the two types of beast as stated in the LoI. However, the conflict with Stuttgart makes that question moot.

Ottar Eriksson. Device change. Vert, a rabbit sejant guardant armed with a stag's attire argent.

Conflict with Penhallow (Papworth, p. 61), Vert, a coney argent. Given that the default posture for a rabbit is sejant, there is at best one CD, and many commenters did not find that much for the addition of the antlers.

Ottar Eriksson. Badge. [Fieldless] An open book azure.

Conflict with The Dean and Chapter of Raphoe (Papworth, p. 340), ...an open book.... There is one CD for fieldlessness, but since we can grant none for tincture in this case, this is a conflict.

Richard of Lion's Rest. Badge. [Fieldless] A bendlet crossed by two scarpes sable.

It is not possible to have ordinaries or diminutives of ordinaries on a fieldless badge. Blazoning them as couped will normally permit this; however, these cannot be blazoned as couped do to the unusual nature of the couping (horizonatally). Additionally, this looks like nothing quite so much as the double "x" in the name trademarked name "Exxon", and will be perceived as such. Since we do not register armory consisting only of alphanumeric characters, this must be returned.

Riddlemark, Canton of. Name.

Withdrawn by the Principal Herald.

Simon Dubh mac Brian o Glen Rannoch. Badge change. [Fieldless] A sword per chevron argent and gules.

A long skinny charge may not be divided per chevron in this manner. The line of division is not identifiable, thus falling afoul of RfS VII.7.a.

Tanaka Raiko. Device. Sable, three cranes' heads couped and conjoined at the beaks Or.

Conflict with Squire (Papworth, p. 934), Sable three swans erased Or. There is one CD for the arrangement of the primaries, but nothing for the change to type (as stated in the LoI).

Ulrich von Adlerberg. Badge change. [Fieldless] A heart sable.

Conflict with van Roden (Rietstap), Argent, a heart sable. There is only one CD for fieldlessness.

MERIDIES

Cassandra Villiers. Device. Potenty gules and argent, a base purpure, overall a fireball and a bordure Or.

Just as one should not have a charge overlying a chief or flaunches, a charge overlying a base is not registrable. If the client would consider placing the primary charge entirely on the field, there does not appear to be any other bar to registration.

Charr ibn Bashshar. Name and device. Azure, on a fess argent between a lance fesswise reversed and a dagger fesswise Or, three snails contourny sable.

Unfortunately, there is a typographical error in the source used by the client. As was evident from an examination of the alphabetical listing in Compleat Anachronist #51, the name listed there as "Charr" should have been "Dharr". Although the client allowed minor changes to correct the spelling and grammar, we did not feel comfortable making such a correction where the pronunciation would be changed so dramatically as it would be here. The device conflicts with Adjer (Papworth, p. 786), Azure, on a fess argent three water-bougets sable. While there is a CD for the addition of the secondary charges, because they are not identical, revised X.4.j.ii. cannot be applied to give a second CD for the change to type only of the tertiaries.

Ilissa the Nightwatcher. Name for Shadow Legion.

The proposed household name was not supported by any documentation at all that it is formed in a period manner. Given its intrusively modern "fantasy/gaming" sound, we would prefer some evidence that it follows a pattern of some period naming practice before we register it in the SCA.

MIDDLE

Afonlyn, College of. Device. Or, on a cross couped gules a fountain and on a chief gules two laurel wreaths Or.

In addition to this being at the complexity limits of VIII.1.a, the use of a cross couped gules should probably no longer be allowed in SCA heraldry because of the international treaties and federal law which protect that charge and restrict its use to the International Red Cross (and as a trademark to those who were using it before those treaties went into effect).

Robin Arthur Kyrke. Device. Or, on a bend sinister cotised vert between a robin rising contourny wings elevated and addorsed and a church tower azure three billets Or.

The charge in base is not drawn as a church tower known in heraldic texts, nor is it a recognizable representation of a church. The heraldic church tower is a tower with the pointed roof and cross, but without the windows and flying buttresses of this submission. A church would probably not have the flying buttresses. Please ask the client to clarify what he wants and to resubmit with a redrawing.

OUTLANDS

Mark Lasie of Westminster. Augmentation of device. Per fess gules and sable, a saltire argent, as an augmentation, on an inescutcheon vert, stag's attires Or.

The augmentation as submitted violates RfS VIII.2.b.i. Overall charges must have good contrast with the field rather than with the charges they overlie. This is thus technically color on color. If the client would consider either placing the inescutcheon entirely on the saltire or reversing the tinctures of the augmentation, there should be no bar to registration.

Triaria d'Orleans. Device. Azure, a heart Or within an orle of gouttes d'eau.

Conflict with Robert de Termes (Renesse), Azure, a heart Or, as cited in the LoI. While de Renesse has only been recently been added to the list of protected armory, as noted by Lady Triton we have been calling conflict from de Renesse since at least September 1990. The recent addition of Renesse to the protected items list was merely an acknowledgement of this policy.

WEST

Benedetta de Spenser. Name change from Benedetta Despencer.

The registration of Robert de Spencer of Wessex noted in the LoI appears to have been in error, but was based on commentary received at the time only, as no one included photocopies of the documentation. The documentation as cited by a number of commenters (no photocopies this time either) does not support the requested spelling change.

Donan MacGlashan. Device. Purpure, a lute bendwise sinister Or and a bordure Or, seme of thistles purpure.

The lute as drawn is in trian aspect. If the submitter would redraw it there should not be a problem. (See the drawing of a lute in the Pictorial Dictionary, page 70, item 418, as an example.)

Gregor of Caer Darth. Device. Sable, a dance, and in base four roundels in cross argent.

Conflict with Schanser, Sable a fess dancetty argent, as cited in the LoI. The addition of the roundels in base is one CD but the enhancement of the primary is within the range of what would normally happen to a fess with charges only in base.

Hanns Helvig von Longstrum. Badge. (Fieldless) An annulet gules surmounted by a latin cross clechy sable.

The emblazon is not really reproducible from the blazon, nor was anyone able to come up with a reasonable blazon that would work. As a consequence, we are having to return this because of irreproducibility.

Keradwc an Cai. Badge. [Fieldless] Three crescents conjoined in pall inverted, horns outward, argent.

Conflict with Bannes, Azure, three crescents one and two argent, the first one upright the other two addorsed, as cited in the LoI. There is one CD for fieldlessness, but the difference between the conjoined charges here and the small space between the three crescents one and two is insufficient for a second CD.

Lochac, Principality of. Badge. Argent, a piping beast rampant azure, maintaining between its sinister forepaw and its tailpaw a cascade of torteaux.

Given that the piping beast is registered only twice in the SCA (both registration dated August 1979 -- Can you say "Heraldicon"?), we do not believe this charge to be any more appropriate for registration than the many variant norse twisty beasties that have been disallowed. [It's cute, but....]

Marcus Andronicus. Device. Argent, on a flame gules an acorn argent charged with a goutte, all within a bordure purpure.

Although this was blazoned as an acorn enflamed, the visual reality is as reblazoned above. A good, proper, Period enflamed has a few gouttes of flame scattered around the edge of the charge being enflamed. Where the flame completely surrounds an object, that object is said to be "on a flame". As a consequence this device has four layers: field, flame, acorn, and goutte.

Niamh nic Cháirthinn. Device. Argent, a tree blasted and eradicated, a chief vert.

Conflict with Baretrey, (Papworth, p. 1112), Argent, on a mount in base a branched tree vert. There is one CD for the change to type of secondary but nothing between a tree blasted and eradicated and a branched (leafless) tree.

Phillippe d'Avignon. Device. Or, a chevron quarterly azure and gules between three towers per pale azure and gules.

Though submitted as quarterly, the chevron is really per pale and per chevron. As such it falls afoul of the band on divided fields and charges of two colors. RfS VIII.2.b lists the divisions where two colors may be used. Per pale and per chevron is not one of them.

Rhianwen ni Dhiarmada. Device. Sable, a demi-unicorn rampant Or, crined argent.

Conflict with von Berwang (Seibmacher, plate 83), Sable, a demi-unicorn rampant Or. I am not sure that there is even one CD here for the tincture of the crining.

Rose de Le Mans. Device. Argent, a bend sinister vert, overall a maunch counterchanged, a bordure sable.

The opinion of the commenting heralds was unanimous that a maunch is too complex a charge to be counterchanged over an ordinary.

Stanislaw Jan Ossolinski. Badge. [Fieldless] A cross formy globate argent, charged on each arm with a crescent sable.

No one documented the term globate, nor could Laurel find it in any of his references. We need documentation of this charge before we can register it.

Styvyn Longshanks. Device change. Gules, a comet bendwise sinister, head to chief, argent.

Conflict with Honsard (Papworth, p. 695), Gules, an eight pointed estoile argent, as cited in the LoI. There is once CD for the change to the primary, but we cannot in could conscience Rfs X.2.

Teleri Tawel. Device. Sable, a winged mouse sejant erect, tail knowed in base, Or, wings marked vert.

The markings on the wings are too obvious, especially given the contrast of vert on Or, to be dismissed as either diapering (which is normally done in a different shade of the same tincture) or artistic license. Thus this falls afoul of the ban on knotwork in armory.

Thelic of Darktide. Transfer device to Michael the Dark.

The client released this device when he registered his device change in April of 1991. Thus, he no longer has the authority to transfer it. Additionally, no letter transferring the device has yet been received from the submitter, so even if he hadn't released it we still could not transfer this.

Ulf the Skraeling. Device. Per pale sable and argent, a wolf and a bear combattant counter-changed, a bordure embattled azure.

As has been ruled previously (in the LoARs of October 1990 and July 1991), the addition of a bordure does not remove the appearance of marshalling. A bordure is not one of the overall charges within the meaning of XI.3.a.

THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN PENDED UNTIL THE AUGUST 1992 LAUREL MEETING:

WEST

Michael the Dark. Device transfer from Thelic of Darktide. Sable, a bend sinister argent charged with another gules, on a chief Or a demi-sun gules.

Thelic of Darktide released this device with the registration of his device change in the LoAR of April 1991. (When it is not specified what is to happen to a previously registered device in a device change, the default is that the previously registered device is released.) As a consequence this must be pended so that the College can check it for conflict before it is registered to Michael the Dark.

Only ONE more Laurel meeting 'till retirement!
