Judith Hardfari. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Morgan Blackmarch. Name.

Aidan Aileran O'Comhraidhe. Badge for House Silver Scythe. Per fess wavy azure and argent, in base a bar wavy azure and overall in saltire two scythes Or.

Aleric Ironleg. Name.

Submitted as Alaric Ironleg, we have modified the name to what the submitter originally wanted. Morlet's citation of Alericus three times lends credence to this spelling.

Versus Monckton (Papworth, p. 702), Azure, a fess dancetty Or, Percy (Azure, a fess engrailed Or(, and Dengaine (Azure, a fess indented Or), there are CVDs for the addition of the tertiaries and, under current Laurel precedent, for the change to the complex line of division of the fess. Versus Plaumpton (Papworth, p. 789), Azure, on a fess engrailed Or, five escallops gules, there is a CVD for the changes to the tertiaries and another for the change to the line of division. Please see the Cover Letter accompanying this LoAR for a discussion of whether or not we should continue to allow a CVD for the differences between these complex lines of division.

Ansteorra, Kingdom of. Title for Hanaper Herald.

Isabella del Bosque. Name.

Ivan Eirín. Name and device. Azure a sea-dragon and a label argent.

Clear of Morgan y Crwydryn o Saincler, Azure, a sea-dragon erect within a saltire parted and fretted argent. As Morgan's could just as well (or perhaps better) be blazoned Azure, a sea-dragon erect between two bendlets and two bendlets sinister fretted argent, we see two CVDs for changing the type and number of the secondaries.

Oriana Valentina Corbizzi. Device. Per pale nebuly argent and Or a vol within a double tressure sable.

Randwulf the Hermit. Name.

Rolanda Rossner. Name.

Rosenfeld, Shire of. Device. Or, semy of roses gules a laurel wreath azure.

Arian Rowan of Featherfin. Name for alternate persona: Khada'an Turumtai.

The submitter's currently registered badge, Argent, a red-tailed hawk close proper between two flaunches argent fretty azure, should be appended to this name.

Charles Thomas the Grey. Name and device. Per bend sinister sable and argent, a phoenix grasping in its beak a sword and a rabbit sejant to sinister counterchanged.

Submitted as Charrles Thomas the Grey, no support was presented for the intrusive double r.

Jackline Blanc des Cygnes Bleus. Name and device. Per bend sinister argent and azure, a swan naiant to sinister and a fleur-de-lis counterchanged.

Submitted as Jackline Blanc des Cygnes Bleues, we have modified the name to so that the gender of the noun and adjective in the byname match. The presence of Jacklin and Jakelina in Withycombe lend credence to this spelling of the given name.

Mark Lightburn. Device. Azure, four mascles in bend sinister argent between two torches Or, flamed proper.

Mary Cats the Minikin. Name change from holding name of Loretta the Merry.

Terwyn of Glen Laxsey. Name and device. Gules, on a pile invected argent, a unicorn's head erased sable.

Barring evidence that Terwyn is not period, we are giving the submitter the benefit of the doubt. Please see the cover letter accompanying this LoAR for a fuller discussion of the question of invected versus engrailed regarding the possible conflict call with Formans (Papworth, p. 1022), Gules, a pile engrailed argent. Under current precedent, there is a CVD for the addition of the tertiary and another for the difference between invected and engrailed.

William Tiberius Thorne. Name and device. Per chevron gules and Or, in base a heart gules pierced with a sword sable.

The full size emblazon shows the sword piercing the heart.

Yusuf Ja'bar al-Timbuktuwwi. Name and device. Per bend sinister purpure and vert, a bend sinister cotised between an elephant's head couped close and a decrescent with a mullet suspended between its horns Or.

Submitted as Yusuf Ja'bar al-Timbuktu, we have corrected the grammar so he is not claiming to be the Timbuktu. (For those who questioned the presence of an Arab from Timbuktu, the Arabs were not only in Timbuktu in period, they founded it).

Anne Lecoeur. Name and device. Argent, a chevron wavy azure between two swans naiant respectant sable and a heart distilling three gouttes gules.

Anne Lecoeur. Badge. Per chevron ermine and argent, three chevronels wavy vert and in base a heart distilling three gouttes gules.

The "wavy-ness" of the chevronels needs to be drawn much more boldly.

Nice device!

Nottinghill Coill, Barony of. Name only for The Coill's Champion (see RETURNS for badge).

Nottinghill Coill, Barony of. Badge for Order of the Coill's Muse. Per chevron Or and vert, a wake knot vert issuing from the line of division and a harp Or.

Nottinghill Coill, Barony of. Name for Order of the Gordian Knot.

It was noted that this order title conflicts with the title of the Gordian Knot Pursuivant, registered to the Kingdom of Atlantia. Lady Triton gave written permission for the order's name to conflict. Principal Heralds may give permission for submitted items to conflict with heraldic items registered to their kingdom, though it is strongly recommended that they consult with the Crown to obtain their consent (whether written or verbal) as well before doing this.

Olga Forgalwoman. Name.

Submitted as Olga Forgal's Woman, we have modified the name to follow period practice in forming this sort of byname, which appears not to use the possessive "X's" ("Tomwyf", "Smythwyf", both noted in the LoI). While a number of commenters noted that they would much prefer a form which smacked less of "property", Lord Lanner notes that the OED dates "woman" as meaning "wife" in 1450, so if "wife" is acceptable, so is "woman".

Adriana d'Orsay des Hippocampes. Name and device. Vert, two hippocampi addorsed argent.

Aileen O'Shea. Name.

Alisander du Mont Saint Michel. Device. Sable, a unicorn within a bordure embattled argent charged with an orle sable.

Brianna La Franceise. Device change. Azure, three stick weaver's shuttles in pall argent between between three hawk's bells Or.

The emblazon sheet in the files has the hawk's bells Or, and so this is what is registered. If she wants the other version (with the hawk's bells argent) as a badge, she will need to resubmit it with an emblazon sheet.

Cara Michelle DuValier. Name.

Cassandra Nicole Loustaunau. Device. Argent, a winged lioness passant reguardant counter-ermine within a bordure azure, and overall a chief indencted counter-ermine.

Jannat Raushana al-Rumiya. Name.

Submitted as Jannat Raushana Rumiya, we have corrected the grammar of the locative as the submitter's forms allowed to be correct for a lady from Rum (Constantinople). The byname would be pronounced ar-Rumiya. No one was able to help the submitter with her desired form for the given of Jannay. However, Jannat al-Khuld was a period person loved by the poet Muhammad ibn al-Salt, so this given is a documentably period name (from the Fihrist of al-Nadim, vol. 2, p. 1021).

Kageyama Yasuo. Device. Per chevron gules and sable, two dragonflies and a rice stalk Or.

Kendrik Boise. Device. Per fess gules and vert, on a fess rayonny Or two boar's heads erased respectant sable, in base a cross formy Or charged with a cross pointed vert.

Submitted as Fionnghula O Uaine Suil, we have modified the given to agree with the submitter's forms and the byname to correct the grammar.

Submitted as Ilse aus dem Rhein, we have modified the name to correct the grammar (aus dem Rhein would have her coming right out of the water).

Aoife ní Fhaoileáin. Name and device. Per pale sable and argent, two owls counterchanged.

Submitted as Aoife ni Faoileáin, we have modified the name to correct the grammar.

Submitted as Atar of Sarum, we have modified the name because Atar is the name of a Zoroastrian god, and is also Elvish for "father" (The Silmarillion, p. 356). We have therefore substituted the documented Biblical name as the submitter's forms allowed.

Cassandra de Fareburn. Name and device. Gules, a garden rose, slipped and leaved and on a chief Or, three decrescents gules.

Cathal of Ard Macha. Name.

Chandra al-Samira. Change of name from holding name of Chandra of the West Kingdom.

Christopher Anselm of Windsor. Name.

As the locative is that of a place in England from which a number of people could be, and only comparatively recently adopted as a dynastic name, it is not seen as presumptuous to the ruling family of England.

Versus Truwill (Papworth, p. 1082), Sable, on a saltire engrailed Or, a pellet, the substantial change to type of the tertiary on this device meets the conditions of X.4.j.ii.b. for granting a CVD.

Ealasaid White Swan. Blazon correction. Per bend sinister gules and sable, a swan naiant argent between in pale two Catherine wheels Or.

This name had been pended from the March Laurel meeting.

Hieronymus de Hansworst. Device. Sable, a frog salient to sinister argent.

Jana of Whitecliff. Name and device. Purpure, a unicorn rampant and on a chief argent three fleurs-de-lys purpure.

Submitted as Iana of Whitecliff, Iana as a feminization of Ian seemed extremely unlikely. Therefore we have substituted the submitter's mundane given name, as her forms specifically allowed.

Jean le Montebank. Device. Quarterly vert and gules, a goblet between four roundels Or.

Versus Myrod (Papworth, p. 1052), Vert, five bezants in saltire, there is one CVD for the field, and another for the primary charge, the goblet.

Submitted as Ormr Ragnarsson af Stenen, no documentation was included for either the translation or the correctness of the grammar of the locative.

Richard of Dunheved. Name and device. Per pale ermine and gules, a winged lion rampant reguardant, wings displayed, within a bordure all counterchanged.

Particularly on such relatively simple armory as this, addition of wings, prominently emblazoned, to the primary charge should count for a Clear Visual Difference.

Romille de Mont Blanc. Name.

Saraid na Stoirme. Device change. Purpure, goutty d'eau, a chief invected argent.

Her currently registered device, Purpure, six gouttes and a chief invected argent, is released.

Seighin O' Dorcháin. Name and device. Argent, on a pile inverted between two horses heads couped respectant sable, a sword proper.

Somharile Findlayson. Name.

Stafngrimr of Agaricus. Holding name and device (see RETURNS for name). Sable, on a demi-sun issuant from a base or, a phoenix issuant from base gules.

Submitted as Stafngrimmr Axdelve. Laurel would be happier if the edge of the sun were curved a little more pronouncedly, so that looks less like "per fess rayonny enarched".

Tegan O' Riordáin. Name.

Tegen Meanbh. Name.

This name was registered at the May 1991 Laurel meeting.

Walther von Erfurt. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Yseult de Lacy. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

THE FOLLOWING SUBMISSIONS HAVE BEEN RETURNED:

AN TIR

Etienne de Navarre. Name.

Conflict with Etienne Navarre from the book and movie Ladyhawke. Addition of the particle "de" is not sufficient difference.

Conflict with First Canadian Armored Brigade, Sable, a fess gules. There is one CVD for the addition of the secondaries.

Conflict with the already registered Siobhan ni Seaghdha.

Clare Isibéal Séadhachán. Device. Vert on a chevron Or five bunches of grapes palewise purpure slipped vert and in base a Celtic triquetrum brooch Or.

A single 10-year old instance of the prior registration of a "Celtic triquetrum brooch" is not sufficient precedent to demonstrate either its compatibility or reproducibility. There is serious question about the recoverability of the emblazon from the blazon.

Conflict with the Barony of the Isles. Addition of Ice Dragon is insufficient per RfS V.2.

Ciar Kamalah of Loughcrew. Name and device. Azure, three lotus blossoms in profile, slipped in pall, stems conjoined at center argent.

Per RfS III.2., we would need to demonstrate regular contact between the Irish and the Arabs to permit this mixed Irish Gaelic/Arabic Name. The large emblazon on the submission form had an unblazonable entity in the center of the shield which might be best described as three plates overlapped (a plate botonny?). With no way to describe it, we have not way to register it.

RfS I.D.2. requires branch armory to have one (or more) laurel wreaths. Two laurel springs is not a wreath. Might we suggest a laurel wreath Or overall?

The spelling Gynedd in the LoI was a typo; however, Gwynedd is a placename and not a personal name and thus unsuitable for use in a patronymic. (The submitter's documentation was a citation of Prince Madog ab Owain Gwynedd. He mistakenly dropped Owain, not realizing that Gwynedd is a locative.) The device is four layers and therefore too complex. Additionally, the saltire gyronny of two metals is not allowed by VIII.2.b.iv.

First, The proper Latin should be Opus Materiam Superat. Second, it is a sentence, not a name. "The work exceeds the material" would make a nice motto but it is not a name for an order.

This appeal addresses only one of the two reasons for return. Yes, the cross throughout, if fattened up, would probably remove the appearance of marshalling. However, the primary reason given by Mistress Alison for return stated "No evidence has been provided for simple coats with fields quarterly of three tinctures in period." With no evidence for this issue, the return stands.

This submission has three different types of charge in standard heraldic arrangement, in pale, disallowed per RfS VIII.1.a.

Basil Rattenbury. Device. Per chevron argent and vert, two trees eradicated proper, fructed gules and a mouse rampant to sinister argent.

Conflict with Philip of Ghent, Per chevron argent and vert, two fir trees eradicated and a hawk stooping counterchanged. There is only one CVD, for the change to type of the primary charges. X.2 (Sufficient Difference) cannot apply between two types of trees.

Conflict with Jacques de Telaron, Per chevron Or and vert, in chief a morningstar fesswise and in base a sword counterchanged. There is only one CVD for the change to type of charge in chief.

Desert March, Canton of. Badge. Purpure, on a pile Or two swords in saltire gules.

Because this could also be blazoned Or, chaussé purpure, two swords in saltire gules, this is in technical conflict with The Archmarshal of the Holy Roman Empire, Woodward, Per fess Sable and Argent, two swords in saltire gules.

While it has been a good number of years since Laurel has read much about the American Civil War, he recognized the name of this very well known fighting unit without even having to look it up. Reason for return is conflict with the Second Brigade of the First Division.

Technical conflict with Thornhold per RfS V.3. Addition of the adjective does not clear this.

The name does not seem a reasonable locative. One would expect the Great Pit of the Sun to be on the Sun, not someplace that people can be from.

Prior commentary and earlier Laurel precedents have favored limiting the use of fimbriation to ordinaries at the center of the field (see Alisoun macCoul of Elphane, LoAR of 27 August 1989, page 21.

Brandric Rockslayer. Name.

Rockslayer is not a reasonable epithet, nor is "rock" a reasonable alternate spelling of "rook."

Conflict with Conner MacPheargus, registered May 1991.

While one root meaning for -ton is "farm," the much more common meaning is the geographic designator "town." "Town" is not a suitable designator for a "household," particularly one based on geography. Might we suggest "House Elmeston"?

Conflict with Corbet (Papworth, p. 30), Or, two ravens in fess proper. There is only one CVD, for the field. While evidence was presented that period heralds counted difference between falcons and ravens, visually they are just too similar. (As a matter of fact, many of those attending the Laurel meeting assumed that the birds were ravens until told the blazon.) See an expanded discussion of this issue in the Cover Letter accompanying this LoAR.

Conflict with Schindel (Siebmacher, plate 50), Gules, three billets pallwise in pall argent. There is only one CVD for the addition of the bordure.

The emblazon sheet does not show a red hourglass on the spider, thus we cannot "correct" the blazon.

Thomas Hawkwood the Archer. Device. Quarterly counter-ermine and ermine, a kirin Or maintaining an arrow and a dove argent.

There is no heraldic monster called a Kirin. There is a similar Chinese charge called a Ch'ilin (Chinese unicorn), but it doesn't look all that similar to the submission. As a consequence the blazon does not reproduce the emblazon, making this unregisterable.

Aileen ní Bhrighde. Device. Azure, a fox passant and in chief three increscents argent.

Conflicts with Blaidd Rhydd (Papworth, p. 98), Azure, a wolf passant argent, with Borgoine (Papworth, p. 60), Azure, a talbot passant argent, and with Lloyd Q. (Australian Personal Arms), Azure, a wolf passant argent. In each case there is only one CVD for the addition of the secondaries. Conflict also with Dickinson (Papworth, p. 111), Azure, a war wolf passant and three stars in chief argent, with one CVD for the change to type of secondaries.

Conflict with Braunston (Papworth, p. 614), Gules, a cross pommetty voided Or. There is a CVD for the addition of the overall charge, but changing the tincture only of what is effectively a tertiary charge (the voided area of the cross) is insufficient for the second.

Previous submissions of ordinaries of mail (a pall, a bend sinister) have been justified on the basis of period examples of ordinaries of chain (most notably Navarre, with a cross, saltire and orle of chain, all conjoined). That analogy does not apply here. One could have a chain fesswise in chief. One could not have a chief of chain.

Gunther Halftroll. Device. Argent, a gurges azure, overall a troll vert, maned sable, langued gules, all within a bordure sable.

While this resubmission clears the original conflict, it does not address the issue also noted at the time of return regarding the reproducability of the emblazon from the blazon. This particular charge has been blazoned by mundane heralds two different ways, as both a troll and a devil, adding to the problem. Furthermore, it appears that the only instance of this charge in Volborth is post-Period, leaving us with the problem of its compatability with SCA heraldry.

Conflict with Bela of Eastmarch, Gyronny sable and argent, a dragon rampant gules, armed and webbed vert. There is only one CVD for the addition of the secondaries.

Ships wheels are post-period, not coming into use before the mid-17th century. As a suggestion, the submitter might try a Catherine's wheel.

Conflict with Fishbourne (Papworth, page 46), Argent, a fleur-de-lys sable. There is only one CVD, for the changes to the field.

Rhiannon ferch Igraine of Caernarvon. Name change from Vanessa of Armorica.

Rule III.2.a requires a Welsh name to be used with a Welsh patronymic particle. No evidence was given for the combination of the Welsh ferch with the Cornish name Igraine.

Stafngrimr should not have two "m"s; it does change the pronunciation. Axdelve as a constructed name is not formed according to a documented pattern and does not particularly make sense in this construction.

Conflict with Donal MacAyre of Gorabh, Barry wavy gules and Or, a pegasus salient to sinister argent. There is only one CVD for the changes to the field. Versus Caradwen of Lynxcairne, Per bend sinister rayonny azure and gules, a horned pegasus salient to sinister argent, armed, unguled, winged, and crined Or, cited in the LoI, there is a CVD for the changes to the field and another for changing the tincture of what amounts to half of the primary charge.

Although the dolphins were blazoned as the primary charge, standard blazon practice would put the estoile first. (This is clearer if you think of adding an annulet argent instead of the two dolphins.) Thus this is in conflict with Duffin (Papworth, p. 694), Azure, an estoile Or, with only one CVD for the addition of the dolphins.

Etienne de Lyons. Blazon correction. Azure, on a pale Or between two lions combattant and in chief two crosses flory argent three fleurs-de-lys sable.

Unfortunately, this is not a simple blazon correction to an LoAR. When this was first submitted on the January 1988 Eastern LoI, the tincture of the pale was left out of the blazon. As a consequence, it was researched as if the tincture of the pale were argent, and this problem was not caught at the Laurel meeting. This is therefore pended so that it can be properly researched for possible conflicts.
