Unto the members of the College of Arms does Da'ud ibn Auda, Laurel King of Arms send Greetings!;

My Lords and Ladies,

Herein are corrections to various Letters of Acceptances and Returns.

Corrections to the October 1991 LoAR

EAST

Thea von Bayern. Device. Sable, an edelweiss argent, seeded, within a stag's massacre all within an orle Or.

The LoAR typoed the secondary as a "stagh's massacre ".

Corrections to the September 1991 LoAR

ATENVELDT

Frances Blackstone. Device. Argent, an owl's head cabossed and three caltraps, two and one, sable.

The LoAR mistakenly gave the caltraps as "one and two".

CAID

Tamar bint Ephraim al-Haa'ika. Badge. Lozengy vert and argent, a rose purpure and a bordure argent.
The bordure was misblazoned in the LoAR as "gules".

Corrections to the April 1991 LoAR

TRIMARIS

Roland de Germain. Name.

The name was typoed on the LoAR as "de Germaine".

Ysabella Celestina Manrique de Palma. Device. Per pale argent and gules, goutty, four mascles in cross, in base two bars wavy, a chief invected, all counterchanged.
The LoAR accidentally substituted the word "a" for "in".

Corrections to the Armorial and Ordinary

Antonio de Gregorio. Device. Vert, a stalk of wheat inverted surmounted by two stalks of wheat in saltire Or.

When registered, the inversion of the first stalk of wheat was omitted.

Aonghas Galloglach Domhnullach. Device change. Azure, a bend sinister vairy of one trait bendwise sable and Or between in chief a flintlock pistol bendwise sinster, barrel to base argent, and in base a sword bendwise sinister and a sword bendwise sinster inverted, both proper.
When registered, the tincture of the pistol was omitted, and the swords were reversed.

Beathach mu Saoileachdainn. Device. Azure, a winged man-tyger salient guardant within an orle wreathed Or.
When originally registered (back in 1979!), this was blazoned as a manticore, a similar but distinct creature.

Bern Bellower. Badge. Argent, a bellows fesswise sable.
The position of the bellows needs to be specifically blazoned, as the default is "business end" to chief.

Caoimhin macReagan. Device. Gules, on a saltire Or between in pale a tower and a boar's head couped close argent, two matchlock muskets in saltire proper, barreled argent.
The blazon in the registration blazoned the tertiaries before the secondaries, which is not the normal order of things.

Catherine Loxley of Tirnewydd. Device. Per chevron sable and barry wavy argnet and gules, in chief two woolpacks argent.
When registered, the charges were blazoned as "cushions": they are, in fact, woolpacks, a perfectly acceptable charge.

Corinna of the Silver Scissors. Device. Azure, six shears in annulo, points outward, argent.
When registered (in July 1974!), the charges were blazoned as "in gyronny".

Craig of the Glyn. Badge. [Fieldless] A pellet invected charged with a cross couped disjointed Or.
Registered originally as a "cross moline voided", the above blazon matches much more closely the emblazon.

David de Saxby. Device. Gyronny argent and azure, a monster statant consisting of the body of a lion, issuant from its back a goat's head guardant, tailed of a serpent all Or, within a bordure counterchanged.
The bordure is missing in the A&O blazon.

Emrys Eustace Boreyne. Badge. [Fieldless] A besom inverted sable.
The default broom is with its straw ("business end") to chief.

Haroun ibn al-Dhi'b al-Abaydh. Change of device. Argent, on a fess humetty between the Arabic words "al-'izz wa al-baqa" and "wa al-zafar bi-il-a'da" vert, a scimitar, blade to chief, argent.
This device change appears to have failed to be noted in the A&O.

Llywelyn Gwehydd Pentrelasleygercaerdydd ap Gwilym. Device. Per fess argent and vert, a lion-dragon erect gules and thee Celtic crosses Or.
The monster was blazoned when registered as a "wyvern-tailed demi-lion" and its posture was accidentally deleted.

Nordskogen, Barony of. Badge for the Order of the Baronial Broom. Azure, two besoms in saltire surmounted by another palewise inverted, all Or.
The default broom is with its straw ("business end") to chief.
