AN TIR

Astrid Bjarnadottir. Name.

Submitted as Astrid Bjarnasdottir, we have modified the patronymic to the correct genetive form.

While Brandon is a surname in period, it is also a documented variant spelling of Brendan (also, Brandan), so this spelling is allowable in a given name. The use of mirror symmetry of the charges in chief is not really period style but has not in and of itself been cause for return in the past. Several commentors felt that the mirrored orientation of the two lions in chief created a "de facto" case of slot machine heraldry. While Laurel is personally sympathetic with this position, orienting charges this way has not been cause for return in the past.

Galen Martell of Canterbury. Name.

Guy of Alderney. Name and device. Gyronny sable and argent, a saltire of chains vert.

The contrast between the vert chain and the sable portions of the field are marginal but because of the symmetry and high contrast against the argent portions of the field this is (just) registerable.

Jeane Chantal la Bouviere. Name and device. Vert, three arches in pale Or between two flaunches invected ermine,

Please ask the submitter to draw the flaunches properly issuing from the corners of the chief.

Although the byname is spelled Fairholm in the armorial and ordinary, the submitter's original forms have the final 'e'.

Submitted on the LoI as Katelin (without the final "e"), the submitter's forms all had the documented form registered here.

Although Midhaven appears to be an actual medieval place, it is not a "significant geographical location outside the Society" as defined in the Administrative Handbook, Protected Items, E. Very nice armory!

Submitted as Torric inn Bjarni.

Valley Wold, Shire of. Name.

Vladimir Nikolai Petrovich. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Zeresh la Tricoteuse. Name and device. Per bend azure and sable, a unicorn's head couped argent, armed and crined, and two double-pointed knitting needles in saltire Or.

Elfsea, Barony of. Name for Order of the Azure Keystone of Elfsea.

George Michael Edmunson. Device. Per pale gules and argent, a fess sable, between three crescents counterchanged.

Nice armory!

Juliana van Utrecht. Name.

Keyna Morgan Oulton. Name.

Yonge's listing of Keyne on page 271 of her History of Christian Names lends support to the given.

Mikhail Alexandrovitch Kotov. Badge. [Fieldless] A tyger passant contourny Or.

Mooneschadowe, Shire of. Device change. Sable, a sun argent, eclipsed sable, and on a chief Or, a laurel wreath sable.

The Shire's currently registered device, Sable, in pale a sun eclipsed argent, and a laurel wreath, a chief Or, is released.

Beornheard of Wearmouth. Device. Vert, a triquetra within a bordure Or.

The submitter's previous device, Vert, a trefoil knot within a bordure Or, is released.

Submitted as Camllyn de Skene, we have modified the name to correct the grammar.

Submitted as badge for alternate persona (see RETURNS for alternate persona name).

Constanzia Beatrice Rossi. Device. Per pale argent and vert, a wingless dragon rampant to sinister and a bottlenosed dolphin haurient embowed, all within a bordure mullety, all counterchanged.

There was some disagreement at the Laurel meeting as to whether the addition of a charged bordure removes the appearance of marshaling. That most of the commenters seem to think that it does or have said nothing leads us to believe that the College feels that the addition of a charged bordure does, in fact, remove the appearance of marshaling.

Fjarska Holt, Canton of. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Genseric Tremayne. Name and device. Azure ermined argent, a sword proper grasped in the middle of the blade by a gauntlet reversed Or.

Ginevra die Hohe. Name.

Submitted as Ginevra die Hohin, we have modified the name to correct the grammar.

Gytha Katludottir. Device. Per bend sinister argent and sable, a goat-horned winged serpent erect contourny, tail nowed counterchanged.

Heinrich von Rafinsburch. Name and device. Ermine, on a gore sinister gules a castle argent.

While the submitter's name conflicts with his documentation, Lady Harpy properly notes that unless the historical Heinrich is demonstrated to be important enough to protect that we do not have a reason to return this name simply because it duplicates the documentation.

Ilarion Ivanovich Drakonov. Device. Per chevron inverted sable and argent, a wingless dragon couchant Or and two caltraps gules.

Iseulte of the Red Cliffs. Device. Per fess indented of five points sable and Or, a decrescent Or and five chevronels braced gules.

Because the emblazon requires blazoning the number of points of the line of division of the field to make the design work, this is not particularly period style, but is not poor enough style to return.

Johann von Rothenburg. Device. Quarterly sable and Or, three crosses formy counterchanged.

Please show the submitter what crosses formy really look like (and Maltese crosses, too, for that matter).

Please show the submitter what crosses formy really look like (and Maltese crosses, too, for that matter).

Keii Gerard de Courtenay. Name.

Konrad der Ruhige Bär. Name.

Landric Dægmær. Name.

Submitted as Landric Dægmær of Ealdwulf, we have modified the name as Lady Triton requested in her letter of correction of May 22, 1991.

Submitted as Llwelynus Luctuosus, we have modified the name to match the documentable forms as the submitters forms allowed.

Lupus the Mad. Device. Sable, on a plate, a wolf's head erased ululant contourny sable, in base an anvil argent.

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

Submitted as Marcus Tanner of Coeur Cri, we have deleted the village name because no evidence was presented that French place names were ever formed in this manner.

Neacal Montgomery. Name and device. Vert, on a pile between two shamrocks Or, a winged quatrefoil slipped wings displayed vert.

Submitted as Necal Montgomery, we have modified the name to the documented form (Dunkling, Scottish Christian Names, p. 108).

Submitted as Niniane as Loch aon Adharaich, we have modified the name to correct the grammar.

Please tell the submitter that the fleur-de-lys should not overlap the bend.

Pretty device.

Submitted as Thorbjorn inn Mikligerski, we have modified the name to match the submitters documentation.

Pended from the April, 1991 Laurel meeting.

Clear of Guy le Provencal, Sable on a cross patee throughout Or surmounted by a roundel counterchanged four fleurs-de-lys palewise gules, with CVDs for removing the tertiaries, removal of the overall charge and addition of the unicorn's head.

Alaric der Held. Name and device. Or, an eagle stooping sable and a bordure vairy gules and argent.

Arisa Novgorodkin. Name and device. Or, an iris purpure slipped and leaved vert, in chief a crescent sable, and flaunches pean.

Artemas the Innkeeper. Name.

Ceidrych the Innocent ap Gryffydd. Change of holding name from Ilan of Mathom Trove.

Lady Soon-to-be (?) Harpy presented evidence that Ceidrych is probably a reasonable compounded name.

The place name Drakelow in Ekwald lends credence to the locative. Nice device.

Dabhaidh Earmourer the Tiny. Name.

Fiachra Aiodhghean ó Muircheartaigh na hEoghanachta Locha Lein. Name and device. Argent, an eagle displayed sable, a bordure vert semy of harps Or.

Submitted as Fiachra Aoidhghean ui Muircheartaigh, an Eoghanacht Loch Lein, we have modified the name to correct the grammar.

Halldór Skaptason. Badge. [Fieldless] A sea-wolf within and conjoined to an annulet Or.

Megwyn O'Bardain of Caledon Wood. Device. Vert, on a pile between two unicorns rampant reguardant addorsed argent a sun azure.

Miriam bas Levi. Name and device. Or, a hummingbird migrant to base vert and a mount rayonny azure.

Submitted as Miriam bas Levi al Cordova, we have dropped the undocumented byname. No documentation was presented that Cordova was the Arabic form of this Spanish city's name (nor could Lord Laurel find what the Moors called it anywhere in his library). Moreover, even if it were the byname more likely would have been al-Cordovawwi. While blasoned in the LoI as a mount rayonny azure, the emblazon shows a demi-sun issuant from base.

Victor Somerset of Ravenwood. Device. Argent, on a chevron embattled gules between three ravens sable three annulets Or.

Very nice style.

Aelfreda o Lyn Ewig. Device. Azure, a stag lodged and in chief a decrescent and an increscent all within a bordure argent.

Andre Miguel de la Croix. Badge. Quarterly sable and gules, a vol within a bordure Or.

Anne Lockwood. Device. Per fess argent and purpure, a fret counterchanged.

Nice armory.

Doireann Fearghus Roberston. Name and device. Gules, on a bend sinister between a Latin cross bottony and a standing balance Or, four decrescents palewise gules, all within a bordure embattled Or.

Gillian Elphinstone. Name and device. Sable, on a sun Or a shamrock sable, a bordure embattled argent.

Versus Kourost Bernard of the East Woods (SCA), Sable, a sun eclipsed Or, there is a CVD for the addition of the bordure. Based on the commentary, for purposes of X.4.j.2, we are specifically adding a sun as an underlying charge which qualifies for a CVD to change of type only of a tertiary. Therefore there is a second CVD for the change to the tertiary (shamrock vs. eclipsing).

Idris ap Llawr. Device. Or, a flame of fire proper, on a chief rayonny azure an arrow argent.

Katharine Ravenshill. Device. Sable, a seahorse Or.

Versus Aurelia des Chevaux de Mer (SCA), Sable, a winged seahorse rampant argent, winged, tailed and unguled Or, there is a CVD for removing the wings, and a second for changing the tincture of half the primary charge. Versus Bern Bellower (SCA), Sable, a sea unicorn Or, tailed vert, fimbriated argent, armed and unguled argent, involved to sinister, there is a CVD for facing dexter as opposed to facing sinister and a second CVD for changing the tincture of half the primary. Against Debra of Cyprus (SCA), Pean, a sea unicorn erect erminois, there is a CVD for the change to the tincture of the field and another for the change of the tincture of the primary. There is no visual conflict with Debra.

Laura Aleyn. Name and device. Azure, on an escallop Or, an estoile azure, on a chief indented Or three martlets azure.

Good armory.

Loveday Lancaster. Name and device. Per fess argent and Or, a brown demi-bear erect issuant from the line of division proper and on an open book azure a garden rose, slipped and leaved, fesswise Or.

Rycherd of Caistron. Name and device. Per bend sinister argent and azure, a Latin cross bottony and a griffin segreant within a bordure potenty, all counterchanged.

Submitted as Rycherd Stormbrand of Caistron, we have modified the name to delete the created name. While Lord Dragon came up with some similar epithets in Norse and German, this combination of words in English appears to have no real meaning. Nice armory.

Shariya bint Badr. Badge. [Fieldless] A griffin passant within and conjoined to the horns of a decrescent, argent.

Sherry Foxwell. Badge. [Fieldless] A fox herissony to sinister gules.

Siubhan Catriona Guinne. Name.

Aine Callaghan. Device. Or, a seadog rampant and on a chief wavy gules, a three-arched bridge Or.

Aislynn Crystyn. Name.

Alejandra Mercedes de Rosanegra. Badge. [Fieldless] A yale rampant sable platy.

Nice period style badge.

Nice badge.

Her currently registered name and mon (Sable, three iris blooms issuing inward from a ringn enclosure of bramble of three curls inward argent) become an alternate persona name and badge.

Anne Aldryche the Madd. Device. Ermine, a dove descending argent enveloped in flames gules within a bordure sable.

Aquila d'Athos. Name and device. Sable, on a pale ermine between two swords Or a pine tree eradicated proper.

Bérengar de Clisson. Device. Ermine, on a bend cotised azure a lion's jambe Or.

Bjarki ap Owen. Device. Quarterly sable and gules, a wolf courant and in chief three roses argent.

Pretty device.

Nice device.

Submitted as Teaglach na Boghadair Argiod we have corrected the grammar as the submitter's forms allowed.

Submitted as Camma na Darag, we have modified the name to correct the grammar.

Cara Silverwolf. Alternate persona name for Togakure no Yamamoto Tetsuko.

Catherine de Clare of Alconleigh. Device. Gules, five annulets interlaced in bend within a bordure Or.

Catriona nic Pharlain. Name.

Cerdic of Colbridge. Name.

Ceridwen of Cahercommaun. Device. Gyronny of sixteen argent and gules, a domestic cat sejant and on a chief sable a decrescent and an increscent argent.

Although Lord Batonvert stated that the SCA has disallowed gyronny of sixteen or more since 1971, a careful reading of the decision from that LoAR makes it clear that gyronny of sixteen with a single charge on the field (as opposed to multiple charges) was acceptable.

Ciarnat d'Avignon. Name and device. Argent ermined vert, on a mullet vert a fox's mask argent.

Versus Astra Christiana Benedict (SCA), On a mullet a cross-crosslet, there is a CVD for fielded versus fieldless and a second under X.4.j.2 for the change to type of tertiary. It is Lord Laurel's contention that a mullet of five points qualifies as a simple geometric charge under this rule. (It is also Lord Laurel's contention that a mullet is probably the most complex charge which will so qualify.)

Colin MacLear. Device. Argent, on a pile ployé between two crescents azure, a trident argent.

Dagonell Collingwood of Emerald Lake. Badge. [Fieldless] An ankle boot vair.

Dara Katerina Smythe. Name.

David Wayland. Name and device. Azure, two chevronels argent surmounted by a crescent Or, a chief argent.

Dofinn-Hallr Morrisson. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Dubghall Domnall MacNayre. Name.

Efron le Fey. Name change from holding name of Efron of the Debatable Lands.

The appeal of this name has sufficiently documented the use of le Fey as a surname by people well within Period. The surname le Fey is acceptable for registration provided there are no other allusions to elves or faerie in the name or armory.

Elizabeth Mills. Name.

Elric ap Madog. Name.

Elspeth Keyfe of Neddingham. Name for Schola Lucernae.

This name is to be attached to her already registered badge, [Fieldless] An annulet engrailed Or and fretted with two candles in saltire argent enflamed at both ends proper. Schola is not a reserved term so this is no problem. Going by the best advice given us by the commenters, lucernae does not appear to presume upon the name of the city Lucerne.

Evaine ferch Arnallt Yr Wyddfa. Name.

Fabian Steinwolf. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Fabian Steinwolf. Name for Haus Steinwolf.

Franz Joder von Joderhübel. Device. Azure, on a bend between two doves argent a serpent glissant vert.

Clear of Johnson (Papworth, p. 270), Azure, on a bend embattled argent between two cocks of the second, crested and jelloped Or, a snake vert. There is a CVD for the complex line of the bend and a second for the change in type of the secondaries. There are some fairly obvious differences to the head and body outline between doves and cocks; sufficient for a CVD.

Gryffydd Belwyn. Name and device. Azure, a chevron gules fimbriated and in base a bell Or.

Nice armory!

Thomas Reymond. Name.

Thorgrim Olafsson. Name and device. Sable, two torches in saltire argent enflamed Or and in chief a triple-towered castle argent.

The potential conflict with the name Thorgrim Olesson no longer exists since Thorgrim Oleson changed his name to Jacques Michel Navarre in October 1989.

Submitted as Glyn Rees.

Ulthar Sveinsson. Device. Gules, a horned helmet with nasal affronty ensigned with a hawk's head erased Or within a bordure Or semy of Thor's hammers sable.

Brand Griffith. Name and device. Per bend sinister Or and azure, an eagle volant within a bordure embattled, all counterchanged.

Submitted as Brand Griffith of Gwynedd, we have dropped the problematic locative. As submitted the name appears to be a claim of decent from Gruffudd, King of Gwynedd to 1137. Rule V.5 disallows any such claim.

Brianna of Wessex. Name.

Brocc of Alderden. Badge. [Fieldless] A goutte d'eau.

David le Cassé. Badge. [Fieldless] A goutte de sang inverted.

William Delamere of Darkmoor. Name and device. Quarterly azure and argent, a cross patonce gules between in bend two fleur-de-lys argent.

THE FOLLOWING SUBMISSIONS HAVE BEEN RETURNED:

AN TIR

Alaric von Rottweil. Device. Per saltire gules and argent, a fylfot arrondy counterchanged.

First of all, this is not really a fylfot arrondy. It is similar to a cross gammadion, the arms enarched, of the SS Fifth armored division, but has an extra bend in each arm. As drawn it is unblazonable and therefore must be returned. (If drawn as a fylfot arrondy, it would also have to be returned, as fylfots of any kind have always been returned because of their association with the German NSDAP.)

The name is registered as a herald's title to the kingdom of An Tir. No paperwork was received for a designator change. While in the past arms have been registered to the regions of Ansteorra and Calontir, a number of commentors questioned whether this is a precedent we should still follow. In a discussion with the Chairman of the Board of Directors, she recommended against the registration of the names and armory of regions. Might we suggest that the region send in the paperwork for a change in status to that of principality?

Conflict with Isabeau Eaglestone of Glinwood, Per fess raguly vert and argent, an eagle displayed perched on a bow and three trees counterchanged. (Regarding Lord Batonvert's suggestion that we define as one-half of a group charges on each side of a line of division dividing the field into two portions, this issue seems too complex to resolve at the Laurel meeting. Lord Laurel invites input to consider this issue at the November Laurel meeting.)

As has been ruled previously, the addition of the bordure does not remove the appearance of marshalled arms. There was some commentary regarding the identifiability of a "maidenhair" fern. In any case, the large emblazon had the leaves vert and the stems and roots sable, so we couldn't just blazon it vert.

Conflict with Brobrough (Papworth, p. 1112), Argent, a slip of three leaves vert and with Rosemary Petsley (SCA), Argent, a spring of parsley vert.

First of all, there was no emblazon included in the LoI. Hence this would be returnable for that alone. However, the name Theresa of Three Mountains was listed on the Heraldic Submission Information Sheet as a holding name formed by the kingdom. As has been noted before, kingdoms may not form holding names.

While in the past arms have been registered to the regions of Ansteorra and Calontir, a number of commentors questioned whether this is a precedent we should still follow. In a discussion with the Chairman of the Board of Directors, she recommended against the registration of the names and armory of regions. Might we suggest that the region send in the paperwork for a change in status to that of principality? We can't register the arms without a name. Additionally, as a number of commenters have noted, the counterchanging of the complex overall charge over the complex primary may be considered too much because it breaks up the outline of both charges to an excessive degree.

By the submitter's own documentation inn Bjarni does not appear to be the correct form. Since he allowed no corrections to grammar or spelling, we couldn't correct it. (The correct word for bear appears to be "bjorn".)

Conflict with the Order of the Oak, Barony of the Steppes (SCA). As for the device, while it technically is not, it certainly has the visual appearance of slot-machine heraldry. However, the real problem is that with four charge types and five tinctures exceeds the complexity limits of VIII.1.a.

Conflict with Edmund the Sentinel (SCA), Or, on a heart gules, a balance argent. There was some disagreement among the commenters as to whether or not the heart is a simple geometric charge which would qualify under X.4.j.2, allowing change of type only to a tertiary to grant a second CVD. Additionally, mullets of five points voided and interlaced have beend disallowed since the tenure of Wilhelm von Schlüssel (LoAR of 24 October 1979, reaffirmed by the Board of Directors as noted in the cover letter of 13 May 1991.

While we appreciate the note in the LoI that the submitter "has agreed to 'conjoin'" the blades, the emblazon, which is what we register, does not so show them. Most of the commenters had serious doubts about the identifiability of the charges. Would the submitter consider using entire scimitars?

Caterina Angélique Coeur Noir. Device. Quarterly Or and gules, a heart sable, between in bend sinister a lion rampant and a horse rampant Or.

Three different charges in a standard heraldic arangement is disallowed by XIII.1.a.

Conflict with Echlin (Papworth p. 1088), Argent, a galley proper. There is a CVD for the addition of the points only. (There was some question in the commentary as to whether the use of three points is acceptable period style. The clear conflict saved Lord Laurel from having to rule on this issue, but it does appear to be a valid question. Opinions, anyone?)

The pronounciation of the SCA is insufficiently different from the submitter's mundane to be considered registerable by the College (Administrative Handbook, Protected Items I). If the submitter would consider nearly any change (for instance adding "de" in front of Colquhoun), this would be sufficient.

Conflict with US Third Division, (Military Ordinary 277) Azure, three bendlets sinister argent. There is one CVD for the addition of the overall charge.

Conflict with US Army Ordinance Corp, A grenade sable. There is a CVD for fieldlessness, but the change in tincture of the flame is not a big enough change for the second.

Anton Tremayne. Badge. Checky argent and sable, a cross bottony and a bordure gules.

Conflict with Chysual (Papworth p. 634), Argent, a cross crosslet fitchy within a bordure gules. There is a CVD for the field but nothing for the difference between crosses crosslet and bottony or for the fitching of the lower limb.

Conflict with the East Kingdom Cooks Guild, Sable, on a chalice argent a cross patty gules. There is one CVD for the bordure (which needs to be much wider) but nothing for the change to type only of the tertiary (a goblet is not a simple geometric charge under X.4.j.ii).

The byname is not appear to be formed correctly for French and no one could come up with a form which was close. (Considering that the polite French word for buttock is fesse she might consider Bellefesse, which of course would then open up a wide variety of possibilities for canting armory to go with the name.)

Conflict with Phillip of Ghent, Per chevron argent and vert, two fir trees eradicated and a hawk stooping counterchanged. As in the return of Basil Rattenbury in the June LoAR, there is only one CVD for the change to the type of the primary charges. X.2 (Sufficient Difference) cannot apply between two types of trees.

Because this was a device change and not a resubmission, we need to receive the proper submission fee. Since no fee was received for this we cannot process it. In the large emblazon the "flying fish" was as unidentifiable as in the mini emblazon in the LoI. When she resubmits we would suggest copying the fish from her currently registered device.

Conflict with von Witzleben (Siebmacher, plate 165), Per chevron inverted argent and gules, a chevron inverted counterchanged. There is a single CVD for the addition of the secondaries.

Conflict with Thorgrim Steinarsonn (SCA), Argent, a pall azure between three pine trees couped proper all within a burdure azure. There is one CVD for removing the bordure.

It is poor style to use two similar but non-identical charges in a single group. For example using a sword and two poinards in a sheaf, for example, has been cause for return in the past. The use of two different types of gauntlets is likewise impermissible.

The device was withdrawn in the May 8, 1991 letter from Lady Triton.

This badge was withdrawn by Lady Triton in her letter of May 8, 1991.

Magel is a diminutive variant of the surname Mage. French practice does not appear to form a diminutive from a diminutive. Also, French normally forms a diminutive of this nature with -ette.
;

No documentation was presented for the tanner's knife. Period artifacts used in SCA armory must be documented as period. Additionally, this conflicts with Leonberg (Woodward) Gules, a bend azure. There is only one CVD, for the addition of the "tanner's knife".

Conflict with Nakajima (Hawley's Mon, p. 61), A military fan bendwise. There is one CVD for orientation of the charge, but nothing for tincture. Conflict also with Nakajima (Ibid.), A military fan within an annulet, with only one CVD for the addition of the annulet.

Conflict with Prince Maelgwn ap Gruffyd, who is cited in Bartrum's and in Giraldus Cambrensus.

Withdrawn by Lady Triton on her 8 May 1991 letter.

Name changes require the proper fee. Since the fee was not included, we cannot process this. Additionally, no documentation was presented for the appropriateness of using the patronymic particle -dottir with Arnketil.

Tzigane is not a name. Documenting it as a word is insufficient for registration as a given name. Dreams do not appear to be something that one can spin.

Joshua ibn Eleazar ha-Shalib. Device. Azure, in saltire a ladle inverted and a recorder between four Jewish hats Or.

While there appears to be no problem with a Jewish hat per se, the emblazoned hats on the device do not match either the submitter's own documentation or other documentation presented by Lords Batonvert and Habicht. That documentation shows almost all Jewish hats to have a ball atop the spike of the hat. If the submitter would be willing to redraw his hats so that they match the documented form for Jewish hats we see no bar to registration.

Alina Meraud Bryte and Gavin de Haga. Name for House de Haga of Deodar.

Although the addition of the exlocative ("of Deodar") would clear the previous problem with the household name, personal households may not incorporate the name of an SCA branch in their name. Thus, the addition of the name of the Shire of Deodar may not be allowed here.

This is not a chief triangular. Nor is it a pile, per chevron inverted, or chaussé. It is somewhere between all of these and as such cannot be registered. If he wishes to resubmit with a real chief triangular (that is to say, extending down into the field only about half as far as this does), we would be happy to reconsider this.

Conflict with The Order of Arachne's Web, Sable a spider argent. As noted in the LoI this is the same submission that was returned a year ago. Nothing in the LoI discussed the previous return, why this submission was different from the previous submission, or why this one should now be registered. Nor was there any discussion of why the previous return was in error, if that is what either the submitter or the Calontir College of Heralds believes. With no discussion of any of these issues the previous return has to stand.

Conflict with Gareth the Russel (SCA), Azure, a skunk statant proper (Mephitis mephitis). There is one CVD for the change to the field but nothing for placement on the field since that is forced by the tincture change. [Irreverent comment from the commentary, "This emblazon has a bizarre resemblance to Pepe le Pew bouncing down a staircase."] [Irreverent comment from the Laurel meeting, "This armory stinks."]

Dofinn-Hallr Morrisson. Device. Gyronny arrondi of six azure and argent, a broadarrow gules.

Conflict with the Royal badge (England), A broadarrow. There is one CVD for fielded versus fieldless but as all of our sources seem to indicate that the broadarrow is a tinctureless badge, we lack the necessary second.
;

Conflict with Hartshorn-Dale, Azure, an unstrung bugle horn bendwise sinister Or. There is a CVD for the orientation of the horn, but the slight change to type is insufficient for the second. Conflict also with Pfahler Siebmacher (Plate 81), Azure a straight trumpet palewise Or. There is a CVD for type of horn, but there is not enough difference between the two for X.2.

Conflict with Tubal-Cain (Fabulous Heraldry, 585), Sable, a hammer argent crowned Or. There is a CVD for the addition of the wings, but deletion of the small crown is insufficient for the second.

Frindik Kálmán Kisvárdaból. Name.

The correct form of the byname would appear to be Kisvárdai, but as the submitter allowed no changes and included no documentation for his chosen byname, we have had to the return the name as a whole.

Anne Winterskye.

Conflict with Anna of Skye (SCA). As much as we sympathize with Lord Dragon's position, we cannot bring ourselves to go along with his arguments because of the way that the Rules for Submission are worded. The only consistent interpretation that we could make was to consider Winterskye to be the addition of an adjective to the noun Skye (or sky).

Conflict with Hill (Papworth, p. 309), Argent, an eagle displayed double-headed sable, on a chief of the second, three roses as the first. There is a CVD only for the tincture of the primary.

Having checked the files, it is very clear that Brynhildr's registered device, as listed in the Armorial and Ordinary, is correct; that is, Gules, a Norse serpent nowed Or. Thus, this augmentation has no contrast at all with the charge upon which it is placed making it effectively invisible.

Conflict with Shire of Glynn Rhe. Also, Glyn appears to be a placename and a surname in period, but not a given name. We will need evidence of its use as a given name in period before we can register it.

Conflict with Pavis, a well-known place in the game world of Glorantha [RuneQuest]. As noted in the LoAR of June 1990, p. 14, "Given the popularity of D&D in the Society, we feel that we really must protect these entities."

Conflict with Shauna O'Shaughnessy.

Conflict with Breant (Papworth, p. 868), Gules, a cinquefoil argent. There is one CVD for the change to type of the primary, but we are not certain that X.2 can be applicable in this case of difference between types of foils.

The use of two similar but non-identical charges in a group has been cause for return many times in the past. A scroll is one kind of book and a book is another.

Conflict with Sir William Fox, Prime Minister of New Zealand for a number of years between 1856 and 1873. Addition of the adjective is in this case insufficient.

Lars Knarrarsmidr. Device. Gules, a rooster displayed argent maintaining in its claws a spear fesswise proper and a lion's pelt Or.

This had been pended from the April Laurel meeting. Three types of charges in a single group are disallowed under VIII.1.a. The relative sizes of the charges here clearly make them such.

Michael Saint Sever. Device. Per pale vert and sable, three lions passant guardant in pale within a bordure Or.

Conflict with Holland (Papworth, p. 175), Gules, three leopards passant guardant in pale within a bordure Or. There is only one CVD, for the changes to the field.
