This badge was submitted with the order name Order of the Caltrop.

The submitter should be informed that mixing Gaelic and English spellings was vanishingly rare in period. Placing the name completely in English, as in Catelin Donegal, would be considerably more authentic.

We find no evidence of Danielle in period. However, it follows a pattern of feminizing masculine in France, and Daniel was found in "An Index to the Given Names in the 1292 Census of Paris" by Colm Dubh.

Her current device, Vert, a sun and on a chief embattled Or three lozenges purpure, is released along with her name.

Submitted as Maura MacLeod, no documentation was given showing that Maura was a period given name. The Irish Gaelic form Maire appeared so late in Irish as a solitary given name that we are doubtful that English diminutives appeared within our period. We therefore replaced the given name with a documented form.

The submitter should be informed that while two given names were used in medieval Russia, one of them was invariably Slavic in origin. In this case both given names are Christian, which is currently a registerable weirdness. A considerably more likely name would use the masculine name Filip as a patronymic; for example, Ekaterina Filipova.

Submitted as Éogan Mac Muirinn, the submitter’s form did not include the accent. Since the name is equally valid without it, it has been dropped.

See the cover letter for a discussion on matronymics in Irish Gaelic names.

Submitted as Ian MacEanruig, that name contains two weirdnesses: it uses a post-period anglicization of a Gaelic name and mixes Gaelic and English orthographies. Therefore, we have changed this to an entirely anglicized name. If he wants a fully Gaelic name, we recommend Eoin mac Eanruig.

Submitted as John Folcwulf, the submitter requested an authentic name for 7th through 11th century Old English. This is not possible because there is no evidence that John was used as a given name in England outside of religious contexts until after the Norman Conquest. We were, however, able to derive a form of John from the Latin and correct the patronymic, thus constructing the most likely form for Old English.

The submitter should be informed that the primary charge should be drawn more like a tiger.

Submitted as Silviana de Zara, Zara is a place. Therefore we replaced the preposition to make it correct for Italian.

Submitted as Sveinn HarÞfari, the documentation used an ‘ð’.

Submitted as Tangwystyl verch Riuallaun Ogwr, the submitter asked for a form consistent with 15th or 16th century Wales. The spelling Riuallaun dates to somewhere in the 8th through 10th century; therefore we replaced it with a late period form.

The name was submitted as Amariah de Clovis. While there was a pattern in 16th century England of using Old Testament names, we know of no such pattern in medieval French names. Barring such evidence and barring any direct evidence of Amariah as a French name, we cannot register the combination. The submitter indicated that she was more interested in the sound of the name than the meaning and requested a male name, therefore we replaced it with the similar French given name Amauri, taken from Colm Dubh, "An Index to the Given Names in the 1292 Census of Paris".

Submitted as André de Chartres, the name was changed to make it authentic for late 12th century France as requested.

Briana is SCA-compatible.

This device is clear of Wynflaed of Hawksmir, Per pale azure and argent, a tower and in chief two hawk’s heads erased addorsed counterchanged. After examining the emblazon, it is clear that the hawk’s heads are secondary charges.

Arval Benicoeur’s article, "Concerning the Names Iain, Ian, and Eoin" mentions the name Eithne ingen Iain i nOchtur Aird in a 12th century Irish Gaelic document. There are other references to Iain (as a genitive form), but they were part of religious names. Nevertheless given the single citation, combined with the fact that Iain is otherwise SCA compatible, we will registered names containing mac Iain or inghean Iain.

Submitted as Jadwiga Palangiene, the submitter requested an authentic name for a female in the 12th-14th century Lithuanian/Baltic region. At that time Lithuanian was not a written language, so the most likely form for her name would be a Latin form. Furthermore, we have no evidence that the suffix -iene was used for anything but patronymics in period. Therefore we registered a Latin form of the locative.

Submitted as Damaris St. Cloud, we do not register scribal abbreviations.

His current device, Gules, a dragon volant in annulo, wings elevated and addorsed, head to chief within a bordure Or charged with six quatrefoils slipped vert, is released.

Her current name is released.

Deirdre is SCA compatible.

Because the crescent is simple enough to fimbriate, this is clear of Tigranes of Bezabde, A crescent sable fimbriated, charged with a sun Or winged argent with a CD for fieldlessness, and another for substantially changing the type of the tertiary charge (even if one ignores the additional color change).

Submitted as an order name, Company is a designator that applies only to household names.

This was submitted as a badge for the Order of the Mountain Lark.

Nice name!

Submitted as Caelenus Tiberius Severianus, the name is registerable as a late medieval name, but the submitter requested an authentic name for classical or early medieval Rome. For that he needs a proper praenomen, which were taken from a highly restricted name pool in his desired period. As one of them was Tiberius, we made it the first element. A good nomen is Calianus which is very close to his requested first element. Lastly Severus is a cognomen meaning "stern, severed, reserved" as was quite popular in the early imperial period. Therefore we used it as the cognomen. A more imperial version using the similar elements is Tiberius Severianus Caelianus.

Colm Dubh found a citation of Annalies in 1634 (Wilfred Seibicke, Historisches Deutsches Vornamenbuch), which is in our "gray area" of documentation. Therefore we will allow the compound given name. We will, however, only allow it in the listed spelling (barring documentation that another spelling is a valid period variant). Therefore we have changed the submitted form, Anneliese, to the documented spelling.

Submitted as Bianca Caterina di Siena, Siena is a place name, so we corrected the preposition.

This name is close to but clear of Bianca Drago. There is one less syllable in Drake, and we believe that the difference in sound and appearance is sufficient to make these clear.

Submitted as Bjorn Torvaldson, we have corrected the form of the patronymic.

The submitter should be informed that mixing the Gaelic Catriona with a Scots byname was vanishingly rare in period. The name would be considerably more authentic as Catrina Faireye of Ayrshire.

The number of engrailings on the pall is right at the limit of acceptability. Fewer and larger engrailings would be better.

Submitted as John of Kings Point, all of the submitter’s examples used a single compound word. Also, we were unable to find any examples of place names that included the "i" in "point".

The device was submitted under the name Lindsay MacBean

Submitted as Lora Ann Roos, the forms listed Lora Ann Ros. Since Ros is also registerable, the name has been changed back to the submitter’s desired spelling.

This is clear of Podraigh Cine O’Hurthile, Vert, on a cross nowy Or a shamrock vert. There is a CD between a cross nowy and a cross quadrate. There is also a substantial difference between a shamrock and a thistle, thus giving a second CD for the change of type to the tertiary charges.

The device was submitted under the name Maire O’Brien.

Rhiannon is SCA compatible. While the submitter indicated that she wanted a 9th century Irish name, it is impossible to alter this name to fulfill that criteria, as Rhiannon is neither a name used by humans in period nor is it Irish.

The name appeared on the letter of intent as Roise ni Ullachain, but the forms included the accent marks.

The name appeared on the letter of intent as Rory Mc Gowan, but the forms did not have a space in McGowan.

Listed on the letter of intent as Ruairdhi MacDuncan, the forms list the Scots Gaelic form Ruairidh. The submitter should be informed, however, that the Scots Gaelic spellings were used after period and that mixing Gaelic spellings with English or Scots spellings is exceeding rare in period. The name would be considerable more authentic as either the fully Gaelic Ruadhri mac Donnchaid or fully Anglicized Rory MacDuncan.

This is clear of Aryana van Wyck, Or, a dove volant, wings addorsed, azure bearing in its beak an olive branch vert. There is a CD for the chief, and another for the posture of the bird, as the change in wing position is significant.

The name appeared on the letter of intent as Svana Grimarsdottir, but the forms included the accents.

While registerable, the submitter should be informed that the combination of a Gaelic spelling for the given name and an English spelling for the patronymic was vanishingly rare in period. The name would be substantially more authentic as a fully Gaelic Tadhg mac Colla.

Submitted as Uilliam MacAmlaidh, the forms contained the documented spelling MacAmhlaidh.

Submitted as Wiktorija Adlbertalisowna, the submitter’s source for the name, The Writer’s Digest Character Naming Sourcebook, is not by itself a good enough source for names, especially as its information is contradicted by better sources. Slownik Staropolskich Nazw Osobowych dates Wiktorzjya to 1398 (vol. 6, s.n. Wiktorzyja) and Adalbert in period (vol 1, s.n Adalhert), so we change the name elements to documented forms. Also, the byname was corrected to use a documentable ending.

Submitted as Winifred of Rosemier, no one was able to document or justify the byname, so we changed it to a name that was justifiable and sounds nearly identical (if with a different meaning).

Submitted as Anne Von Talstadt, the preposition should not be capitalized.

Submitted as Conz Von Talstadt, the preposition should not be capitalized.

This was submitted for the Order of Manus

Josephine is her mundane middle name.

The submitter is a viscount.

Submitted as Meave MacKellar, the given name is documented as Maeve and we have no evidence that the switch in letters is reasonable. Therefore we registered the documented form.

Submitted as Percival de LaRocque, the submitter requested an authentic 14th century name. Therefore we corrected the locative to a likely 14th century form.

Submitted as Anastasia of Whispering Oaks, no evidence was presented, nor was any found, that Whispering is an adjective used in place names in period.

It was unclear if the citation of Brangwayna in Reaney and Wilson, A Dictionary of English Surnames referred to a given name or a surname. Harpy Herald, however, tracked down the original source and confirmed that the name was used as a given name and speculates that the name was derived from Arthurian legend. The name, however, is definitely 13th century English, not Welsh.

Submitted as Dorian of Whispering Oaks, the submitter’s source apparently changed the Greek names into similar English names. No other documentation for the use of Dorian in period could be found. We therefore substituted its Italian form, Dorio. Furthermore, no evidence was presented, nor was any found, that Whispering is an adjective used in place names in period. Therefore, that element was dropped.

Submitted as Éireannach Ó Háinle, the submitter originally requested O’Hanley, which is currently registerable, if a "weirdness." Furthermore, the name as submitted was masculine, and the submitter requested a feminine name. To correct the name to the correct Gaelic feminine form required more changes than she allowed. The submitter should be informed, however, that mixing Gaelic and English spellings was vanishingly rare in period, and the correct late period Irish Gaelic form of her name is Éireannach inghean uí Áinle.

Submitted as Juan Lázaro Xavier Ramirez, the name has been modified to reflect the standard order of Spanish surname elements. In all known period examples of multiple surnames consisting of a patronymic and a locative, the patronymic invariably appears before the locative.

Nice armory!

The submitter should be advised to draw a thinner crescent and draw considerably fewer rays on the bordure.

Submitted as Aine ingen Comyn, the name mixed two languages in the same patronymic phrase. We have therefore made the entire name consistent with early Irish Gaelic.

Nice name!

Originally submitted under the name Astrid Ravenlocks Thorvaldsdottir.

Submitted as Juliana de Florey, called The Imaginour, no evidence was presented or has been found that the use of called is a valid documentary form for English. We have substituted a documented form of the occupational surname.

Originally submitted as Magnus Kormáksson, the name must have both accents or neither accent.

The original blazon, Argent, on a fess sable, between two mullets, a crown of three points argent, did not make it clear that the mullets were also on the fess.

Listed on the letter of intent as Thóra Úlfsdottir, the forms included all three accents.

Submitted as Bébhinn Kendrick, the name was modified to a documented spelling. The submitter should be informed that mixing Gaelic and English spellings was vanishingly rare in period; the name would be far more authentic as a fully Gaelic Béibhinn inghean Eanraig or fully Anglicized Bevin Kenrick.

This is clear of Gottfried von Beringen, Or, a chevron azure between a key fesswise, a quill bendwise sinister, and a tower gules. There is one CD for change of type of two thirds of the secondary charges, and a second for changing the orientation of two thirds of the secondary charges.

Submitted as Maximillian der Zauberer, the forms had Maximilian with only one ‘l’. Furthermore, Zauberer only appeared in the documentation as a definition of the documented byname Zauber.

Originally submitted as Ólafr Grimólfsson, the documentation included all four accents.

Her name was registered in October, 1998, as Ossana, but the forms and the documentation had Osanna.

Submitted as Signy Kyrre Rikarardottir; we corrected the formation of the patronymic. Signý inn kyrra Ríkarðsdóttir would be an older Norse form.

Nice name!

Her badge was Azure, a tower argent issuant from a heart Or and her device was Azure, within the center quarters of a cross treble parted, four hearts, points to center, Or.

Morgan and Morgan, Welsh Surnames, dates Kynan as a given name to 1602. Please inform the submitter to draw the sword bigger and to draw the sun so that the straight and wavy rays have the same length.

Nice name!

Nice name!

The device was submitted under the name Kyrstyan the Songmaker.

The name conflicts with Caltrop Pursuivant, which is registered to the Kingdom of Calontir. Æthelmearc has a letter to conflict from the King and Queen of Calontir. However, current practice allows someone owning Order of the X to use X Pursuivant and vice versa. Therefore two such items are effectively identical. Since we cannot register two identical items even with permission, the order name must be returned.

This conflicts with Weyland O’Faoláin, Per fess embattled vert and Or, in chief a torque, opening to chief, Or. There is a CD for fieldlessness, but we do not give a CD for position when one of the pieces of armory is fieldless, and there is nothing for the opening decoration.

This is being returned for a redraw. The engrailing on the bordure needs to be drawn much bolder.

This is being returned for a redraw. The bordure is too thin, and the invections need to be bigger and bolder.

These are not flames proper, they are flames Or fimbriated gules. This has been disallowed for some time.

I can do no better than to quote Palimpsest (in an after-the-meeting comment):

No petition was received with this submission; a petition is required for all group device submissions. In addition, the mermaid is in a non-heraldic posture. We know of no examples of humanoids or other mammals with their backs facing the viewer.

This device is in conflict with the badge of the College of Scribes of the Kingdom of the West, Sable, an ink flask Or. A comparison of emblazons shows that the charges are virtually identical.

This device conflicts with Leonie de Civronnay, Per saltire vert and Or, a mockingbird displayed head to sinister proper perched on an ocotillo branch fesswise vert, flowered gules. There is one CD for change in tincture of the charge. While it is true that birds do not always conflict with other birds, only eagles were displayed in period. Therefore there is not a CD for change in type. Examination of the emblazon shows that the branch is not significant, so there is no CD for its removal.

These are not ferrets; several commenters and Laurel staff thought these looked like cats. Ferrets have pointed faces, do not have a prominent breastbone, and have their neck entering the back of their head rather than the bottom.

No evidence was given to indicate that Asagiri, meaning "Morning fog", is a reasonable surname, which are primarily based on geographical features, not weather phenomenon. Furthermore the submitter’s given name was incorrectly spelled as Tetsuo instead of Tatsuo. While not a reason for return, the submitter should be informed that men in the samurai class invariably has a nanori as well as a surname and given name.

The submitter has a letter of permission to conflict with Chabi of Burkhan Khaldun, Per bend sinister sable and vert, a reremouse argent; however, as he did not allow the formation of a holding name, we must return the device as well.

We were unable to find any evidence for Schöll as anything but an element used in parts of other names, although Bahlow, A Dictionary of German Names, does list the name Scholle in 1207. Furthermore, we were unable to find any evidence that the German form of Franconia could have been Frankonia instead of Franken. Thus Cunradt Scholle von Franken would be registerable, but the submitter allowed no changes.

The device conflicts with Honor of Restormel, Argent, a bend azure between two lozenges sable. There is a single CD for the change to type of secondary charges. In addition, please advise the submitter to draw the cats as cats instead of kittens.

The badge conflicts with Drstha Maida of the Lowara, Argent upon a sun gules a dexter hand apaumy couped argent. There is only the CD for fieldlessness.

The sable trident was unidentifiable at any distance against the field.

No evidence was given that "mountain" is a reasonable adjective to apply to a hart. While there are no doubt harts in the mountains, we know of no particular mountain variety.

No evidence was given that "mountain" is a reasonable adjective to apply to a hawk.

No evidence was given that "mountain" is a reasonable adjective to apply to a lark.

This is being returned because the flaunches are too small. They should extend to the corners of the device. This may not be possible with saltires, despite the example from Glovers Ordinary of Mosylton, Argent, three pallets azure over all two square flaunches or flanks gules. The difference is that Mosylton’s device is also blazoned with the pallets between the flaunches and it may be virtually indistinguishable from Paly argent and azure, two flanks gules. Therefore we would like to see examples of flaunches used with saltires, bends or bends sinister before we are likely to register the combination.

The name and device are returned for lack of paperwork. Additionally the documentation for Banba indicates that it was used only as a place name or as the wife of a god. Lastly, while not a reason for return anymore, the submitter should be informed that mixing Irish Gaelic and English spellings in a single name is a vanishingly rare practice. If the submitter is interested in the period Irish given name Banbnat, pronounced roughly \BAHNV-nitch\, then Banbnat ingen in Gobann would be an authentic Irish name meaning "Banbnat, daughter of the smith."

Listed on the letter of intent as a resubmission, at the Laurel level, the device is actually a new device. Therefore we cannot register it without a fee.

Listed on the letter of intent as DeWayne Locks (actually DEWAYNE LOCKS), the forms had the preposition.

DeWayne is the submitter’s middle name, not his given name. A Middle name is treated by type: if it is structurally a given name it can be used as a given name, but if it is structurally a surname it can only be used as a surname. DeWayne is structurally a surname so cannot be used as a given name. Also we would need to see documentation showing that Locks can be used with the preposition of.

The badge requires a redraw; the bordure is much too thin and needs to be a least three times thicker.

No paperwork was included with the submission.

We were given no evidence that Lindsay was a given name in period.

Conflict with the registered name Mara O’Brien. There is insufficient difference between the given names.

The submitter should be informed that Maire was considered too holy to use as a given name by the Irish for much of our period, and that mixing Gaelic and English spellings was vanishingly rare. Lastly a Gaelic feminine name should use a feminine form of the patronymic. Thus a much more authentic name would be Máel Muire ingen Bhriain (for up to about 1200) or Maol Mhuire inghean Bhriain (for 1200 to the end of period), where Máel Muire is a name derived from "devotee of Mary" and was what the Irish often used instead of Maire.

The device, as it appeared on the forms, lacked a bordure. Therefore, it still conflicts with the house of Este and the arms of Modena, Azure, an eagle displayed argent crowned Or among others.

Conflict with Chandos, Or, a pile gules. By long standing precedent, chaussé fields can alternatively be blazoned as having a pile, and both forms must be considered for conflict. Or, on a pile gules, a seahorse sejant counterchanged conflicts with Or, a pile gules, with only one CD for the addition of the tertiary charge.

The documentation for Xristiana, as confirmed by checking with Fause Lozenge, indicates that Xristiana is a scribal abbreviation, which we do not register. This would be registerable as Christiana Fraser, and Xristiana Fraser can be used by the submitter as a scribal abbreviation. The submitter, however, allowed no changes so we must return the name.

This was pended from the June LoAR. It conflicts with Cumming (important non-SCA arms), Azure three garbs Or. This was added to the list of important arms in August, 1999.

The book was drawn at far too much of an angle; the device must be returned for violating RfS VIII.1.c.i, Armorial Depth: "Armory may not employ depth of field as a design element." Additionally, as this would be the defining use of the charge, we would like to see evidence that this depiction of a waterwheel is a reasonable one for use in armory.

The flames were drawn as fimbriated, which has not been allowed for some time. Additionally, we would prefer that the athanor be drawn in the usual flat style and not in three dimensions. Furthermore in this depiction, the athanor was not distinguishable from a tower; in all previous registrations, the athanor had a retort atop it, which immediately identified it as an alchemical tool. We are not certain if the athanor requires the retort, but it is definitely a helpful aid. If a retort is not added and the flames are drawn properly, then there will not be a CD between the athanor and a tower, so the device will conflict with the following: Cynthia Lloyd of Hightower, Per pale argent and sable, a tower and in chief three roundels counterchanged, Dierk zem Grauen Wolf, Per pale argent and sable, a tower between in chief two swords counterchanged, and Gunter Wahlstedt, Per pale argent and sable, a tower between three crescents counterchanged.

The name "of hand" does not make any sense and does not follow any pattern for order names. Either Order of the Hand or Ordo Manus would be acceptable, barring conflicts.

Conflict with the flag of Meridies, Argent, on a fess sable a crown of three points between two mullets argent (reblazoned elsewhere on this letter). There is a CD for the field, but as less than half the type of the tertiary charges have changed, we cannot only count the tincture which is insufficient for a second CD.

Conflict with Bronwen Ruath, Argent, a pile wavy gules surmounted by a panther salient guardant sable, spotted argent, incensed Or. The spots of panther are part of its tincture, so there is only a CD for removing the overall charge. The badge is also in conflict with Chandos (important non-SCA arms), Or, a pile gules, with only a single CD for changing the pile to wavy.

This was not listed in the titles transferred from the Middle.

There are far too many rayons on this bend; we would normally expect to find between five and seven and there were more than twice that many.

Conflict with Sheherezon Sequora Maximilian, Argent, a ladybug [Coccinella novemnotata] proper. There is only a single CD for the field.

Augmentations are required to by themselves be free of conflict, as noted in the October 1998 LoAR (James Eldon of York, Kingdom of the Outlands). This augmentation conflicts with the flag of Macedonia, Gules, a sun Or, and Wendryn Townsend, Azure, a sun in glory Or.

"The chevron [inverted] should not intersect the corners of the chief" (Baldwin of Erebor, LoAR 7 July 1986, p. 6). The device needs to be redrawn with the ordinary issuing from the sides of the shield.

Conflict with Caitlin nicCoinnich. MacKenzie is an anglicized form of mac Coinnich, making the two identical for the purposes of conflict. The submitter should also be told that mixing Gaelic and English forms in period is vanishingly rare. It would be better to have a name in either totally English or totally Gaelic forms.

Conflict with Cherie Ruadh MhicRath of Locksley, Vert, on a tree eradicated argent, a cat herisonny guardant gules and Phillip MhicRath of Locksley, Vert, on a tree eradicated argent, a crescent gules. There is one CD for the field, but nothing for changing only the types of the tertiary charges.

The petition lacked either a description or a picture of the device.

No evidence was provided, and no one could find any, that -run is a reasonable terminal element to combine with Fox-. The element -run does not refer to where something runs or is hunted. The submitter may want to consider the documented surname Foxtun, derived from the documented Foxton (1202) and Foxtune (both from Reaney and Wilson, A Dictionary of English Surnames, s.n. Foxton).

The foxes are neither passant nor courant, but somewhere in between, blurring the distinction between them. Therefore the device is returned for a redraw as one or the other.

Conflict with the Order of the Sable Thistle of Ansteorra, A blue thistle sable, slipped and leaved Or. There is one CD for the field, but none for the blue flower; the bulk of the flower is Or for both devices.

The contrast between the two halves of the field is so low that the line of division is not distinguishable. Past Laurels have returned extremely low-contrast lines of division even when there is not an overall charge (for an example, see the return of Isabel d’Avignon’s device, June 1997 LoAR). Please inform the submitter that if she must have a sea-griffin, it should have prominent ears to distinguish it from a sea-eagle (not that the difference is sufficient for a CD).

Ravenlocks does not follow any pattern for Norse names; "raven" refers only to the bird. We cannot drop the element because that would bring it into conflict with the registered name Astrid Thorvardsdatter. We recommend that the submitter consider using in hásvarta, "the black-haired woman."

Her armory was registered under the holding name Astrid of Wyrmgeist.

The yale is not touching the escutcheon and by rule VIII.5 fieldless badges must contain only conjoined charges. Moreover, the yale is drawn midway between passant and rampant. If the yale is drawn as rampant, it will conflict with the badge of Alejandra Mercedes de Rosanegra, A yale rampant sable platy, with a CD for fieldlessness, but nothing for changing the tincture only of the tertiary roundels.

Conflict with Catarina della Zimarra, Sable a fleur de lys within the horns of a crescent Or. A check of Catarina’s emblazon shows that the fleur-de-lys is definitely the sole primary charge. Therefore there is only one CD for changing the type of the secondary/peripheral charge.

A chevron rompú is too complex a charge to fimbriate.

Conflict with Robert of Carlisle, Per pale sable and argent, three helms affronty counterchanged. There is one CD for number of helms, and nothing for type of helm.

Conflict with the registered name Caitlin MacGregor. The two names sound almost identical when pronounced correctly.

Conflict with Rhithyn yr Gwlad yr Hav, Azure a plate charged with a cauldron and a domestic cat in its curiosity sable. There is only one CD for the accumulated changes to the tertiary charges.

Conflict with Phelim Gervase, Quarterly Or and argent, a cup gules. There is only one CD, for the change to the field.

Conflict with William de Rouen, Per pale argent and Or, a cross crosslet fitchy gules. There is only one CD for fieldlessness.

The name is returned because no proof was provided that Kaaren was the submitter’s given name. Additionally, this name would be returned because it has multiple weirdnesses: the use of an undocumented legal name and the use of double given name in Scotland.

The device is not per chevron; it is a point pointed. Therefore the point must have good contrast with the field. Additionally, the orle overlying the point violates the rule prohibiting overall charges over peripheral charges. Furthermore, the section of the point outside the orle is argent, not Or. Finally, the device was submitted on an attached sheet of paper, and we require that the device be placed on the form.

No documentation was given for Songmaker, and the name does not follow any known pattern of occupational surnames.

Her armory was registered under the holding name Kyrstyan of Danegeld Tor.

The tinctures in the blazon were reversed.

The tincture of the needles was mistakenly blazoned as purpure.

No tincture was given for the wolf or the chief.
