Regarding Bruce of Brandy Hall (SCA), Purpure, on a sun in its splendor Or, a dagger gules, there is a CVD for fieldlessness and under the ruling regarding X.4.j.ii.a, made at the July Laurel Meeting, a second for a change to type of tertiary on a sun. (note: the cover letter with the August LoAR requested commentary regarding the application of X.4.j.ii to tertiaries on a sun. Hence, this registration should not be taken as the final word on this subject.)

Morgan Kildarby. Name and device. Per fess argent and sable, a crescent and a wolf rampant counterchanged.

Mwynen Lynnette Chartier. Device change. Gules, a pomegranate argent, slipped and leaved vert, between four fleurs-de-lys in cross Or.

Versus, Boadicea Artemesia (SCA) Argent, a Greek lyre sable. There is a CVD for the addition of the chief (which needs to be drawn much wider) and another (just) for the difference in type of primary charge.

Period instances of Jews in Muslim Spain combining Hebrew names with the Arabic patronymic give credence to this form.

Submitted as Thorgrim macDrosten of the Cornovii, we have modified the name to correct the grammar.

Tostig Locksbane. Name and device. Per fess gules and sable, a fess embattled between three open padlocks and a dragon's head erased contourny Or.

The byname is unlikely. The period term picklock is a much more plausible epithet.

Pretty device!

Versus Taliba bint Ihsan (SCA), [Fieldless] An opinicus passant gules, wings displayed vert, it was the consensus of those at the Laurel meeting that the changes to the wings of tincture and position were sufficient for the necessary second CVD.

EAST

Alys van Schaack of Lynnencorre. Name change from Alys of Lynnencorre.

Duncan Forbes. Name change from holding name of Duncan Forbes.

The submitter wishes to officially register what has been his holding name.

The word Or was omitted from the blazon when his arms were registered in April, 1988.

Guillaume de Vosges. Name.

Gwenneth ferch Gwalchmai. Name.

Harpelestane, Shire of. Name and device. Per saltire Or and gules, a laurel wreath vert between in cross four towers counterchanged.

James Edmund of Aberedw. Name.

Jaric de l'Ile Longe Sault. Name.

Submitted as Jaric d'Ile Longe Sault Name, we have modified the name to make it a generic locative rather than the specific post period name.

Justin the Fair. Name and device. Argent, ermined azure, a bend azure and overall a sword sable.

Katharynne Reede. Device. Vert, a Catherine wheel argent and a chief rayonny Or.

Katherine de Cressy. Name.

Keara Caitlin MacLeod. Name and device. Or, in pale a thistle proper and a mace and a sword in saltire sable.

This is technically just not slot machine heraldry, but only because visually there are two charge "groups", rather than one group of three different charges. [Irreverent comment from the Laurel Meeting: "Thistle while you hurt"?!?]

Konrad Ragnarsson. Name.

Liam MacAodhagáin. Name.

Linnet of Suffolk. Name.

Mairghread of Ryvel. Name.

Malachi Trett. Name.

Robert of Ferness. Device. Per chevron chevronelly Or and gules, and Or, in base a ship in full sail gules, all within a bordure embattled sable.

Roger Honfleur. Name.

Rose the Riotous. Name only (see PENDING for device).

["It were better dwelle in dessert, than with a womman that Is riotous." Chaucer]

While the English term "iceberg" is clearly post-Period, given the large number of cognates in so many northern European languages we feel that the name is probably acceptable.

Talon the Bastard. Name.

Thomas of Aldridge. Name.

Thora Sharptooth. Blazon correction. Gules, three square weaver's tablets in bend Or.

The majority of the commenters favored changing the blazon of these charges from delfs pierced two and two to square weavers tablets. This then is the defining example of square weaver's tablets (with four holes, one in each corner). There are examples of weaver's tablets in other shapes and with other numbers of holes. If used, these other forms must be specifically blazoned.

Tiva the Horsetamer. Name.

Torquil McLeod. Name and device. Per bend sinister argent and gules, a bull's head cabossed and a heart counterchanged.

Ulrich von Wulfskuhl. Name and device. Per bend nebuly azure and argent, a heart and a decrescent counterchanged.

MERIDIES

Agnes of the Whispering Willows. Device. Per fess engrailed Or and azure, three gouttes azure and three crosses flory Or all within a bordure embattled gules.

The charges were blazoned on the LoI with the tinctures reversed, but the vast majority of commenters caught that fact.

Bébinn an Ghleanna. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Fergus O'Kelly. Name.

Gareth Cunedda. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Gwenddolynn ni hAilleachaín. Name.

Gwenhwyfar de Hwytinton. Name.

Holleigh Falcon. Name and device. Argent, a falcon azure, hooded, jessed and belled gules, within an orle of holly leaves vert, fructed gules.

Ian McChattan. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Submitted as Ian Chattan, we have modified the name to what the submitter originally wanted. Lord Dragon produced some good evidence for registering the form which the submitter originally desired.

Submitted as Sven Förlust, we have modified the name to correct the grammar. Förlust is the noun "loss"; the desired meaning is Förlurad.

Aelfric Cautus. Name.

Cynwrig the Wanderer. Name.

Ceridwen of Ulgham. Name.

Erich von Plauen. Name and device. Per chevron Or and argent, a pick and a Maltese cross sable.

Please tell the submitter to draw the "per chevron" line higher on the shield. As it stands this is perilously close to a point pointed, which in this case would be metal on metal.

Gunter Wahlstedt. Device. Per pale argent and sable, a tower between three crescents counterchanged.

Jeremy Adrian the Vain. Name.

Johann LaRue von Metz. Name and device. Gules, a dragon's head within and issuant from the base of a mascle throughout Or.

As drawn on the large emblazon "mascle" was more of "mini-scule". Please inform the submitter that the mascle needs to be drawn even wider than it was on the mini-emblazon on the LoI.

Katharina Alexandra Zrinski. Name and device. Checky gules and argent, a catamount couchant sable.

Kirsten Thorsteinsdottir. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Ragnar Karlson. Device. Paly gules and argent, an owl passant wings displayed inverted sable brandishing an axe palewise Or.

The axe in this submission, nearly the length of the primary charge, is significant enough to contribute to difference. Thus, this is clear from all of the "field, an eagle displayed sable" conflict calls. Please tell the submitter to draw the bird in a more standard heraldic "displayed" position rather than the slightly trian aspect shown here.

Rigunth af Bern. Name.

Timothy O'Byrne. Name.

Toirrdelbach Ua Máel Doraid. Name.

Vali the Black Wanderer. Name and device. Argent, a devil decapitated statant affronty, his head affronty on his chest, vert and in canton a scarpe enhanced azure.

WEST

Allissandra Olympia Martiessa de Constantine. Release of household name Harpyhold.

Anthony fitz Robert. Device. Per fess Or and vert, on a pale counterchanged, between in chief two martlets, in base a martlet vert.

Versus Cliffe (Papworth, p. 329), Argent, three popinjays vert, and the other suggested conflict calls, this is sufficiently different by the addition of primary charge (the pale).

Versus Maurya Etain Sableswan, (Fieldless) Three crescents conjoined in pall horns outward Or, there is one CVD for fieldlessness and a second for what amounts to in pall inverted versus in pall.

Caelainn nic Lochlainn. Name.

The bulk of the commentary favored registration of this name as being sufficiently different from Caitilin ni Lochlainn. Lord Laurel agrees that if correctly pronounced the two names are indeed sufficiently different. The problem, however, is the consistent mispronounciation of names in the SCA, not just by heralds (even sometimes by senior heralds. Isn't that right, Lady Harpy?) but by the submitters themselves. Given the overwhelming support of the commenters in the College, I am registering this in spite of my personal qualms about how each submitter (and the heralds in their respective areas) is pronouncing each name.

Christopher Anselm of Windsor. Device. Per chevron gules and azure, a chevron argent between two lions rampant Or, and a pig-faced bascinet argent.

Daniel the Willing. Name.

Danielle of Dragonfly Pond. Device. Argent, a dragonfly azure.

This was already corrected in the LoAR of June 1991.

Nice armory.

Submitted as Scandal nic Mhairead, we have modified the name to correct the grammar. Her currently registered device, Purpure, on a bend sinister nebuly between two cruces ansatae argent, a scarpe vert, is released.

Sean Tracy of Newbury. Name and device. Gules, a chevron embattled Or, overall a pegasus salient argent.

Versus Christofer Brownsfeld (Papworth, p. 375), Gules, a chevron raguly of two bastons couped at the top Or, there is a CVD for the addition of the overall charge and another for the difference between a chevron embattled (throughout its length) and one with "two bastons couped at the top".

Submitted as Sigurd Silfriulf, we have modified the name to correct the grammar of the byname.

While the byname is not registerable under the current rules, it is grandfathered (Stephan is the son of Duke Paul of Bellatrix).

Susanna of Nottingham. Name.

Thomas of Foxhaven. Badge. Argent, a fox's mask gules, a bordure purpure.

Thora Hvalven. Name.

Submitted as Thorra Hvalvinr, we have modified the name to correct the grammar to a form of what the submitter originally submitted.

West, Kingdom of. Title for Harpy Herald.

Wulfric of Creigull. Badge. [Fieldless] A goutte vert crusily Latin argent.

THE FOLLOWING SUBMISSIONS HAVE BEEN RETURNED:

ATENVELDT

Jean André Boeye. Device. Azure, a bend gules fimbriated between an eagle striking Or and a stag's head contourny erased argent.

Conflict with Caboga (Woodward), Azure, a bend gules. There is one CVD for the addition of the secondaries, but nothing for the fimbriation of the bend.

In addition to the name being, even in Latin, an obtrusively modern take-off of a movie title and not Period in style, the grammar is incorrect. The correct grammar would appear to be Societas Gestarum Scriptorum Mortuorum. (All this leaving aside the question, of course, as to whether the household's members are all dead.)

Conflict with Giselle Barrentree (SCA), Or, a gazelle's head erased contourny within a bordure potenty gules. There is one CVD for the change to the type of the critter's head, but X.2 cannot be applied here.

While the LoI noted that Levia is "the submitters mundane Jewish given name" and that a conversion letter was attached for documentation, the only place that the name Levia appeared at all (besides the line marked "Society Name" on the client's form) was a single place on the conversion letter in Hebrew. We need documentation for Levia. Additionally, there appear to be some problems with the grammar of the Welsh byname. Proper construction would appear to drop the article "y", and appear as either Llawwen (which Lady Harpy noted "looks strange") or Llaw Wen (to avoid confusion with llawen, "cheerful").

The Welsh equivalent to Michael is Mihangel, not Maechyll. The given as submitted appears unlikely at best. The device is four layers which is not permitted, additionally it exceeds the rule of thumb for complexity of XIII.1.a with five tinctures and four types of charge.

Conflict with Le Valet au Cercle d'Or (Fabulous Heraldry p. 8), Purpure, a golden circlet banded sable. There is only one CVD for the change to the tincture of the field.

The submitter's appeal boiled down to using a highly eccentric spelling in order to approximate pronunciation of the byname. Standard orthography would transliterate "the Easterner" as al-Sharqi or al-Sharki. To keep the pronunciation as close to the Arabic as possible, it would normally be transliterated as ash-Sharqi or ash-Sharki. Since, as noted in the original return, as the submitter allows no changes we cannot correct the transliteration to one of the generally accepted systems to register the name. (Lord Laurel understands the objections of those commenters who note that the Administrative Handbook requires a summarization of supporting evidence to be included in the LoI. However, after reading through the submitter's documentation, had I been Lady Aten I'm not sure I would have known how to summarize it, either.)

Submitted as [Fieldless] On a lozenge gules, ..., earlier Laurel precedents have noted that it is not permissible for a fieldless badge to contain a primary charge which is one of the standard shapes for heraldic display. A lozenge is specifically one of these shapes.
Conflict with Katrina of the Neverlands (SCA), Gules, a unicorn's head erased reversed and in canton a decrescent and in sinister chief in bend two mullets palewise argent. There is only one CVD for the deletion of the secondary charges.

Conflict with West, Kingdom of the, Court of Chancery, Azure, a fasces blade to sinister Or, tied gules. Although two commenters thought that this badge has been released, there is no notation to that effect in Laurel's files. If someone has documentation of its release (such as a dated LoAR), we would welcome confirmation. Until that time, however, this remains a conflict, with only one CVD for the tincture of the field.

The purpure "veiling" over the cross, as an overall charge, should have good contrast with the field, which this does not. The use of two bendlets way up to one side severely unbalances the device. With four tinctures and four types of charge this is right at the limit of complexity. Combined with the use of what are normally central ordinaries as peripheral charges and the unusual treatment in the "veiling" of the cross, this must be returned for complexity and for non-Period style.

Charges may not be gyronny of more than eight, per the LoAR of 22 March 1983. Would the submitter consider simply "a mullet argent"?

Conflict with Eleanor Leonard (SCA), [Fieldless] A mullet of four points distilling from its lower point a goutte. There is a CVD for fieldlessness, but nothing else. See the Cover Letter with this LoAR for a further discussion of the "blanket letter of permission" written by Eleanor Leonard.

The sword lying as it does on the Or traits of the field is metal on metal. If the submitter would reverse the tinctures of the field so that the sword would then be lying on the gules traits (and draw the bordure a lot wider) this could be registered.

Conflicts with Tallant (Papworth, p. 455), Sable, a chevron between three eagle's legs erased Or. There is one CVD for embattling the chevron.

Dughall MacDhomhnuill.

Exact conflict with the already registered (May 1990) Dughall MacDhomhnuill.

There are two problems with this device. One is that the combination of a dovetailed line on a gyronny saltire is pretty clearly post-Period style. Even though the SCA has long allowed the use of dovetailed as compatible with our style, and has allowed the use of saltires gyronny, the combination seems obtrusively modern. (See RfS VIII.4.d.: "Generally modern style in the depiction of individual elements or the total design may not be registered.") The second problem is RfS VIII.3., Armorial Identifiability. The purpure portions of the saltire, with its complex line of division, fade so badly into the sable field that the identification of the primary charge is lost.

Bríd uí Chon na Mara. Device. Azure, on a bend bretessed between two open penannular brooches bendwise sinister Or, a bendlet vert.

Conflict with city of Armaugh, Urban District Council (Public Heraldry), Azure, on a bend embattled between in chief a primatal cross and in base a harp Or, a bendlet gules. There is only one CVD for the change to type of secondaries.

Conflict with Lascelles (Papworth, p. 636), Sable, a cross flory within a bordure Or. Because of the arrangement of the primaries, we cannot apply X.2 to grant sufficient difference between this arrangement of four fleurs-de-lys and the cross flory.

The Administrative Handbook, General Procedures for Submission C.5 requires evidence of support for submissions involving the name or armory of an active branch from a majority of the active members of the branch. No such evidence of support was enclosed with this submission. Additionally, the grammar appears to be incorrect. It would appear that the name should be Dún na Féinne Mara.

The Administrative Handbook, General Procedures for Submission C.5 requires evidence of support for submissions involving the name or armory of an active branch from a majority of the active members of the branch. No such evidence of support was enclosed with this submission. No documentation has been presented that this rendition of a "longhouse" is either standard or the most common form. Some documentation on the form of Viking longhouses was presented by Lord Batonvert. This submission does not match any of the versions in that documentation.

Although the LOI noted the submitter has been advised to draw more yellow in flame, this is effectively a "base rayonny gules, fimbriated Or". Similar charges tinctured in this fashion have been returned in the past. If he wishes to redraw it with a real base of flames (gules with yellow throughout as well as along the edges of the rayonny) we will be happy to reconsider this proposal.

The documentation for the name was extremely weak. The Melting Pot Book of Baby Names does not appear to be the kind of source that we should use in the SCA for documenting Period names or name elements. Lord Laurel was only able to find Fayruz in one other (modern) source. No one else, including Lord Laurel, was able to find either Numair or al-Kadar, with the possible exception of "al-Qaadir", an attribute of Allah. This last is not acceptable in this form as part of a name. ("'Abd al-Qaadir", "servant of the Omnipotent") would be the standard form.

The Administrative Handbook, Protected Items I., states that "to preserve the historic distinction between an individual's society identity and his or her identity outside the Society, no item will be registered to a submitter if it is identical to an item used by the submitter legally or in common use outside the Society." RfS V.2 notes that addition or removal of adjectives does not constitute difference. Thus, the submitted name is effectively identical to the submitters use name outside the Society, George Lancaster. The device conflicts with Piers (Papworth, p. 218), Sable, a bend raguly between two unicorns heads erased Or. There is one CVD for the change of type of the secondaries; none for the difference between dovetailed and raguly.

Conflict with Quentin Wrenguard ap Phys, (SCA) Azure, two ram's heads erased combattant Or. There is only one CVD for the changes to the field.

The name was returned on the June 1991 LoAR. As holding names cannot be used for groups, we have to return the device.

The primary charge is drawn in an extremely naturalistic trian aspect. This has been grounds for return since the tenure of Wilhelm von Schlüssel. Please ask the submitter to redraw in a standard heraldic volant position.

The Rules for Submission XI.4 prohibit charging a lozenge with more than one charge. The griffin and estoile are two charges.

The name violates RfS III.2.a, which states "each phrase may contain only one language and all the words in that phrase must be grammatically correct. Anglo Saxon and Old French are different languages. Additionally, no petition from the submitters was included, as required by the Administrative Handbook, C.5. (No conflicts were noted for the device.)

Ian Michael O'Shaughnessey. Device. Per pale sable and gules, two dolphins hauriant respectant Or.

Conflict with Atfield (Papworth, p. 838), Per chevron sable and argent, two dolphins hauriant respecting each other Or. There is only one CVD for the changes to the field.

No documentation was submitted supporting the translation of "kaniel" as meaning spear (and it doesn't show up in any of Lord Laurel's dictionaries).

Morgan de Grey. Name appeal.

Part V of the Rules for Submission states "Names need to be distinguished from each other both in there written form and when heard in announcements." Morgan and Morton, de and the, are not sufficiently distinguishable when heard in announcements. RfS V.4.a. notes that spelling variants, however radical, which do not substantially change the pronunciation are not sufficient for difference, and then gives the example of "Friederich" and "Vrydrich", a large difference in spelling and the loss of a syllable, but insufficient for difference. A number of commenters appear to believe that if two names are derived from different roots, then they do not conflict no matter how much alike they may sound when pronounced. If I may quote Lord Batonvert: "It has absolutely nothing to do with any linguistic connections between the names; if they sound to similar, they conflict, and their etymology is irrelevant."

Bébinn an Ghleanna. Device. Argent, on a bend vert between a cross crosslet fitchy and a cat sejant erect guardant sable, three trefoils palewise argent.

Conflict with May (Papworth, p. 277), Argent, on a bend vert between two bucks heads cabossed sable, three roses of the first, and with Lloyd (Combined Ordinary, p. 78), Argent, on a bend vert three wolves heads erased argent. In each case there is only one CVD for the change to type of the secondaries. If the client would make the secondaries on this proposal identical (two crosses or two cats), we could apply X.4.j.2. and grant the second CVD for change to type of the tertiaries against both these arms.

Conflict with Blackmoore, name of the second supplement published by TSR games to the original Dungeons and Dragons. The Administrative Handbook Protected Items F notes that locations which play a significant role in the action of the modern literary work (of any genre) in which they appear will be protected. As a consequence, in spite of the five English Blackmoors, we are having to return this for conflict with the TSR entity.

With four types of charge and five tinctures, not to mention the complex line of division and the counterchanging of the pale, this exceeds the rule of thumb for complexity as established in XIII.1.a.

Conflict with Virgina Brightangel (SCA), Vert, a thistle slipped flexed-reflexed, head to dexter, and in canton a mullet, all Or. There is one CVD for the change to type of the secondary, but the posture of the thistles is nearly identical with the exception of some waviness of the thistle's stem on Virginia's device.

Duane of the Falls. Name.

The Administrative Handbook, Protected Items I., states that "to preserve the historic distinction between an individual's society identity and his or her identity outside the Society, no item will be registered to a submitter if it is identical to an item used by the submitter legally or in common use outside the Society." RfS V.2 notes that addition or removal of adjectives does not constitute difference. Thus, the submitted name is effectively identical to the submitters use name outside the Society, Duane Falls.

Conflict with Alarikr af Stjarnaheim (SCA), Per chevron throughout azure and argent, two compass stars and a pithon embowed counterchanged. There is only one CVD for changing the type and tincture of the charge in base. Secondarily the "rivenstars" were drawn so offset as to be nearly unrecognizable as such, and several commenters questioned the acceptability of this charge for use by anyone besides the Barony of Rivenstar.

Conflict with the already registered Margaret von dem Schwarzwald. Changing the connecting article from von to aus is not enough.

Adriana nic Aífe de Winterhawke.

No name forms were received. Additionally, the locative is highly improbable. Dropping the particle "de" would probably be sufficient to answer the problem.

Conflict with U.S. 405th Infantry Regiment (Military Ordinary, No. 231), Azure, a bend argent voided. There is a CVD for the addition of the secondaries but nothing for the change to type only of the tertiaries. Revised X.4.j.2(b) only applies with identical secondaries.

Conflict with Paul of Sunriver (SCA) Azure, a compass star Or. There is one CVD for the addition of the ram's horns.

The secondaries, reddish-brown on the green field, are color on color, which violates RfS VIII.2.b.i., the rule of contrast.

Conflict with McCartney, Or, a stag trippant within a bordure gules, as cited in the LoI. There is one CVD for the tincture of the primary, but per X.4.h turning the head and moving the position of one leg is insufficient for the second. Also conflicts with Strachan (Lyon I, no. 5309), Or, a stag at gaze azure attired sable within a bordure gules. There is only one CVD for the tincture of the primary.

Conflict with Carswell (Papworth, p. 197), Sable, a bend Or, overall a label of five points argent. Conflict also with the registered arms of Paul of Bellatrix. There is but one CVD for the addition of the label. Without a letter of permission to conflict there is no way that we can register this. [While the LoI stated that his Grace has given his son permission to conflict, no letter granting such has been received by Laurel. "Non scripta, non est."]
The grandfather clause cannot apply in cases where the submitted arms have a conflict to which the original device would not be subject. Since his father's arms do not conflict with Carswell, but only his own, the grandfather clause cannot be applied here. With respect to the conflict with Carswell, the client has a couple of simple options: (1) change the tincture of the label to ermine or Or; or (2) use the device as submitted with permission from his father without registering it with the College. As the base coat is already registered to his father, the son's use of it differenced by a label is an entirely appropriate form of display.

The sash is not a recognized heraldic charge. Additionally, the submitter's form indicates that the precise form of sash is to be a "karate belt with the white stripes". We need evidence that this belt has not only been earned by the submitter, but that it is a Period charge.

EAST

Rose the Riotous. Device. Per bend sinister argent and azure, a garden rose bendwise sinister, slipped and leaved, azure and a goutte d'eau.

Blazoned in the LOI as proper, the rose is azure. This is pended until the December Laurel meeting for conflict research.
