Submitted as Elwyn Halfmoon.

Enniaun Llwyd o'r Coed. Name.

Ericus the Silverhand. Device. Sable, a fess argent, overall a Heneage knot within an orle of rope counterchanged.

Only the fact that the orle is considered a peripheral charge and thus not part of the same "group" as the Heneage knot prevents this from conflicting with Beancastle, (Papworth, p. 708) Sable, a fess argent, by X4c.

Gate's Edge, Canton of. Name.

Justinian Timagenes. Name change from Edmond Aubrey of Glastonbury.

Lilliard Boudicea Devorguila. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Barring evidence that late-period people would definitely not have used elements from earlier times, we do not feel that we can bar this name on the grounds of "temporal inconsistency". Enough of a pattern of Renaissance people having "classical" names has been established to lead us to believe that the combination used here is not so extremely unlikely as to require its return on the grounds that such a combination could not have occurred in period.

Lorin MacKai. Name.

Marcus Dundee the Brewer. Name.

Morgan Black the Weary. Name.

Mons Tonitrus, March of. Badge. Argent, a thunderbolt sable and a tierce vert.

Mons Tonitrus, March of. Badge for Order of the Silver Thunderbolt. Sable, a thunderbolt between flaunches argent all within a bordure counterchanged.

Jesca of the Flaming Hair. Device. Quarterly vert and sable, a garden rosebud slipped and a kris in saltire argent.

Karolyi Attila Laszlo. Device. Per pale embattled barry sable and Or and vert, in sinister a dragon sejant erect argent.

The matching up of the bars with the embattlements of the per pale line is so unusual as to be disconcerting. Please inform the submitter that it is unlikely that someone else drawing this device from the blazon would match them quite so precisely.

Khasar Juchen. Name.

Lady Brickbat supplied corroborating documentation for the given.

Konrad Korb of Orkney. Device. Lozengy purpure and argent, a Maltese cross within a bordure Or.

Versus Joskyn (Papworth, p. 9), Gules, three bird-bolts in a parcel argent, banded azure, one in pale and two in saltire, there is a CD for the field and a second for changing half the tincture of the charges. It should be noted that period arrows were drawn with grossly exaggerated heads and fletching for greater identifiability. This fact should be considered in tincture changes.

Viviana le Pryce. Name and device. Argent, a peacock pavonated to base proper within a bordure purpure.

Xantha of Greystone Keep. Device. Gules, two needles in saltire, points to chief, within a bordure embattled Or.

Submitted as Anne Mercier Bromaire. The name has been modified to match the documented period form. No evidence was presented for the Gallicized spelling of the byname, and the -er suffix seems to have been very persistent in not mutating at all.

Arthur Bromere. Name.

Submitted as Arthur Bromaire. The name has been modified to match the documented period form. No evidence was presented for the Gallicized spelling of the byname, and the -er suffix seems to have been very persistent in not mutating at all.

The client's documentation for the byname states that it is Dutch for "of the leather".

Eric Greylock the Lion. Name.

Evaine MacGreger. Name.

Galfridus de Gaillard. Name and device. Per fess indented of two points azure and argent, a Latin cross and a mullet of six points counterchanged.

John the Bear. Name.

Katerina la Bisbetica. Name.

Given the documented bynames Whitehors, Blaklamb, Grelamb, Gragris, and Whitecou (this last meaning grey swan), we believe that a pattern of such names has been shown to be established.

Lough Davanree, Shire of. Name.

Submitted as Lough Devnaree, Shire of. The name has been modified to correct the grammar. Lord Dragon presented a detailed derivation of this anglicized version from the Scots Gaelic Loch Dhamh an Righ or the Irish Gaelic Loch Dhamh an Riogh.

His currently registered device, Per chevron inverted sable and gules, a compass star gules fimbriated and a crescent inverted argent within a bordure compony vert and argent, is released. The fimbriated compass star is grandfathered to this client.

Gwenedd Rose Fitzgerald. Name and device. Per chevron sable and azure, two chevronels surmounted by a sword palewise transfixing five rabbits and in chief two roses all argent.

Although the rabbit and sword combination charge was drawn much larger on the full size emblazon, and hence were more easily identifiable than on the mini-emblazon, the identifiability of theses charges is just within the range of acceptability.

Harshna Pataki. Name and device. Or, a gurges gules, overall a spider vert.

Havenholde, March of. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Ian of Caer Anterth Mawr. Holding name and device (see RETURNS for name). Vert chaussé erminois, a dexter gauntlet aversant inverted argent.

Livia Queally of Eire. Device. Per chevron azure bezanty and azure, a chevron Or and in base a wolf's head cabossed argent.

[I hate borderline calls!] The commentary was running exactly 50/50 as to whether or not this was a conflict with Dabernon, (Papworth, p. 374) Azure, a chevron Or, cited in the LoI. Prior Laurel precedent (October 1990, p. 9) has noted that a semy of charges is a different group than any other group of charges on the field.

Maire ingen Dauith. Device. Per saltire sable and vert, a sword argent between a lion and a unicorn combattant Or.

Margaret Dutton of Atherstone. Name and device. Per bend sinister dovetailed azure and Or, an open book argent between two quill pens bendwise sinister counterchanged.

Rhyan Otter. Name and device. Sable, a winged otter passant guardant between in pale two crosses of ermine spots argent.

Pretty device!

Robert of the Appletree. Name and device. Checky argent and sable, an apple tree fructed proper and on a chief Or three apples gules.

While this is technically over the rule of thumb for complexity with three types of charge and six tinctures (including the brown and vert of the tree), it holds together so well visually that we do not believe it exceeds the spirit of that rule.

Rosalind of Castle Rising. Name and device. Or, a horse's head cabossed sable and on a chief gules an arrow Or.

Nice, simple armory.

Snorri Haraldsson. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Tamara di Firenze. Name and device. Sable, on a bend sinister Or between two crescents argent three bells palewise gules.

Wolfgang von Steinbach. Name and device. Purpure, two wolves sejant guardant respectant and on a chief embattled argent, a roundel between two mountains couped purpure.

THE FOLLOWING SUBMISSIONS HAVE BEEN RETURNED:

ANSTEORRA

Alfredo Gabriel Halcón. Device. Argent, a bend sinister azure, overall a lion rampant guardant contourny within a bordure fleury counterchanged.

Counterchanging an animate charge over an ordinary greatly diminishes its identifiability. That in conjunction with the counterchanging of the complex bordure is simply too much.

Caitlín Caimbeul. Name.

Conflict with the already registered Catherine Campbell. These two are effectively the same name; one is Anglicized. Kathleen, a more direct Anglicization, is considered a diminutive of Catherine, and we do not count difference for diminutives from their longer forms.

Elwyn Halfmoon. Name.

The documentation for the byname is not convincing. All of the cited examples referred to pieces of land, and the moon is not something that one may own half of.

Kassandra NicKraken. Badge. Azure, a goblet Or maintained by two coneys rampant guardant respectant argent, the dexter crowned with a comital coronet and the sinister with a Meridian vicecomital coronet Or.

Withdrawn by the Principal Herald.

ATENVELDT

Atenveldt, Kingdom of. Badge for Order of the Azure Archers of Atenveldt. Azure, a sun in his splendor Or within seven pheons in annulo, points outward, argent.

Conflict with Alden (Papworth, p. 1100), Azure, the sun in splendor Or, and with Townsend (Papworth, p. 1100), Azure, a sun in glory Or, and with Abraham (Papworth, p. 1100), Azure, a sun Or. In each case there is one CD for the addition of the secondaries.

Atenveldt, Kingdom of. Badge for the Order of the Lions of Atenveldt. [Fieldless] On a sun Or, eclipsed azure, a lion's head cabossed Or.

Because this is effectively "[Fieldless] On a sun Or, a hurt charged with a lion's head cabossed Or", the lion's head is effectively a quaternary charge, and therefore exceeds our layering limits. There was also some question as to whether this conflicts with Townsend (Papworth, p. 1100), Azure, a sun in glory Or. The azure "eclipsing" is nearly hidden behind the lion's head, which itself greatly resembles the face on a sun in its glory.

Atenveldt, Kingdom of. Name for Order of the Legion of the Sword of Honor.

The order name here does not appear to follow any Period order name that anyone could find. The use of multiple nouns modifying other nouns creates a semantic nightmare. Depending on how one interprets the structure of the various phrases in its name, this could be considered to conflict with the Order of the Sword or with the Legion of Honor.

Bronzehelm, Shire of. Device. Azure, a helm Or, a chief indented and overall a laurel wreath counterchanged.

Charges should not surmount a chief. This has been a policy held since the tenure of Wilhelm von Schlüssel.

Lilliard Boudicea Devorguila. Device. Per bend sinister argent and azure, a seraph's head proper and a Celtic triquetrum brooch argent.

The Celtic triquetrum brooch has been returned in the past as being not reproducible from the blazon.

Mons Tonitrus, March of. Badge for Order of the Sable Chevronels. Per fess sable and argent, three chevronels braced counterchanged, on a chief argent, a pellet.

This is being returned for redrawing. The per fess line, as drawn here, has only the very tips of the chevronels in the upper half of the field. Such a division is not period style, and with the chief makes the armory appear to be an oddly divided and charged field.

Sun, Principality of the. Badge for Order of the Solar Phoenix. Or, a phoenix gules rising from flames proper within a bordure embattled gules.

Conflict with Seki (Hawley's Mon, p. 50), Dark, a phoenix light. There is one CD only for the addition of the bordure.

ATLANTIA

Aslaug of Nidaros. Badge. Gules, a drinking horn fesswise reversed distilling gouttes, in chief three ansuz runes conjoined at the base in pall inverted Or.

Conflict with Hornacot, (Papworth, p. 949), Gules a bugle horn stringed Or. There is only one CD for the addition of the secondary charges in chief. By prior Laurel precedent (in the decision on the current Laurel's badge), the addition of the gouttes is not significant enough to count for a CD.

Catherine de Mares. Device. Quarterly azure and papelonny azure and argent, three annulets linked in pall inverted Or.

Conflict with Fushiki, et al. (Hawley's Mon, pg 85), Dark, three rings interlaced one and two light. There is one CD here for the field (quarterly vs. plain). Lord Laurel is confused by the misunderstanding some commenters seem to have regarding the difference between fieldless and tinctureless armory. Fieldless armory gets a CD for fieldlessness; tinctureless armory (SCA, not mundane) acquires one CD for fieldlessness -- the other CD must come from a class other than tincture (RfS X.4.d). Japanese mon, while tinctureless, are not fieldless; thus, they cannot be granted the fieldlessness difference. Addition or removal of charges, field and charge divisions (since mon appear only to have used solid fields and solid charges), complex lines, all contribute difference from mon. Fieldlessness does not, unless the SCA armory being considered against it is fieldless, in which case the SCA armory, not the mon, gets a CD for fieldlessness.

Thorbjorn inn Mikligerzki. Device. Per pall inverted checky argent and azure, argent and vert, in pale an anvil sable and a quill pen fesswise Or.

The style of this device is sufficiently modern to be grounds for return. The triply parted field, one of whose divisions is itself parted, is modern in appearance and unbalanced, and the checky portion confuses the lines of division and the outline of the anvil.

CAID

Ariel O Raithbheartaigh Floinn. Device. Argent, on a mullet vert a lynx's face argent.

Conflict with Ciarna d'Avignon, Argent, ermined vert, on a mullet vert a fox's mask argent. There is one CD for the field, but the change of type only of the tertiary, particularly since they are both animal's heads in the same position, is not sufficient for the second.

Dun na Mara Fianna, Stronghold of. Badge. Per fess argent and purpure, a quill pen fesswise and a sword fesswise counterchanged.

The group name was returned in the September 1991 LoAR.

Gavin Malcoeur de Logres. Device. Lozengy argent and sable, on a cross gules an escallop inverted argent between four horseshoes Or.

Conflict with Hangrest (Papworth, p. 653), Argent, on a cross gules, five escallops Or. There is one CD for the field. However, the use of two types of tertiary charge complicates the device to the point that X.4.j.ii cannot in good conscience be applied here. If the submitter would consider changing the escallop to another horseshoe, this would be clear.

Gwenllian ap Ulfin. Device. Azure, in pale a die argent and a heart Or.

Conflict with Robert de Termes (Renesse, Vol. 3, p. 357), Azure, a coeur Or. There is one CD for the addition of the argent die.

Rowena Le Sarjent. Name and badge for Company of the Steel Knot. Per pale gules and sable, a sword inverted nowed argent.

The name conflicts with the Company of the Knot, a Neapolitan order of knighthood. The badge conflicts with Goudelin (Ordinary to Woodward, p. 123), Azure, a sword argent hilted Or, point in base. While two commenters felt that the nowing of the sword should be worth a CD, arguing it as a significant posture change, the perception of most people is going to be (1) a sword, and then (2) what have they done to the blade? The College has long held that "swords is swords," no matter how radically different the type (e.g., broadsword = seax = shamshir = kris = rapier). The modification to the blade here does not seem so much greater here as to warrant a CD.

Serena Torres d'Yvoire. Name and device. Per fess embattled purpure and argent, a horned rat's head cabossed argent.

The group name was returned previously for the use of two different languages in a single phrase. It may not there be registered as used here. The device conflicts with Heseltine (Papworth, p. 911), Gules, a bull's head cabossed argent. There is one CD for the field, but this "horned rat's head" looks almost exactly like a bull's head.

Thomas Blackkeep. Device. Argent, in pale two triangles, points to center conjoined, gules within a bordure sable.

Conflict with Andre du Marche, Argent, an hourglass gules, framed sable, within a bordure sable masoned argent. The overwhelming visual similarity between these two devices when held up side by side will not allow us to register this.

CALONTIR

Dorcas Whitecap. Device. Barry wavy vert and sable, a dolphin haurient contourny and on a chief argent three crescents vert.

The field violates RfS VIII.2.b.iv, which prohibits fields multiply divided of two colors or two metals.

Jovan Greyhawk. Device. Per pale azure and gules, two wingless griffins combattant Or.

Conflict with Carpenter (Papworth, p. 147) Azure, two lions rampant combattant Or. There is one CD for the field, but the only difference in the large emblazon between these wingless griffins and lions is to the nose of the animal. If the submitter would use either griffins with wings, or male griffins (with the spikes), this would be clear.

Sakurai Sa. Badge. [Fieldless] A cherry blossom voided within and conjoined to an annulet argent.

A flower is too complex a charge to be voided per RFS VIII.3, Armorial Identifiability.

EAST

Morgan de Grey. Name and badge for House Gryphonstar. [Fieldless] A mullet of eight points argent surmounted by a griffin's head erased vert.

The household name conflicts with the title of Star Principal Herald (Ansteorra). The addition of the adjective "gryphon" is insufficient. The badge, which would more properly be blazoned "a mullet of eight points argent, charged with a griffin's head erased vert", conflicts with Ellen of Winterbourne, Gyronny azure and vert on a mullet of eight points argent an eagle's head erased gules beaked sable, Astra Christiana Benedict, [Fieldless] On a mullet a cross-crosslet, and Thomasina MacGregor, Azure, on a mullet of six points throughout argent a Scottish thistle proper. In each case there is one CD for the fieldless difference, but X.4.j.ii does not apply to tertiaries on mullets, nor is there any difference for the various number of points to the mullets.

Morgana Gwyn d'Argenton. Badge. [Fieldless] An urchin statant guardant upon a juniper branch proper.

Conflict with Francois Lagrosseteste de Lamorlaye, Checky vert and argent, a hedgehog statant sable. There is one CD for the fieldlessness, but we did not feel that we could in good conscience grant a second for brown and black versus black. Additionally, a number of commenters questioned whether this was an overuse of the term proper. Given that we had to be told in the LoI which tinctures to use, I tend to agree.

Penelopee of the Quill. Device. Vert, a quill pen bendwise Or, three bendlets enhanced Or.

These bendlets are enhanced so much to chief that the style becomes unacceptably modern. [Irreverent quote from the Laurel meeting: "They're so close to the margins that they become marginal!"]

Sorcha uí Flahairteaigh. Name.

The grammar of the patronymic is incorrect. Sorcha ní Fhlaithbertaig would appear to be the most likely form. However, as the client did not allow us to make any changes or corrections at all to the name, we are having to return it.

MERIDIES

Amalric von Regensburg. Device. Chevronelly argent and azure, a lion rampant to sinister reguardant maintaining in dexter forepaw a sword inverted Or.

Conflict with Geldres (Papworth, p. 72), Azure, a lion rampant to the sinister Or; Connour (Papworth, p. 96), Vert, a lion rampant sinisterwise Or; British First Port Task Force Royal Engineers (Military Ordinary 140), Azure, a lion rampant sinister, maintaining in the dexter paw an anchor and in the sinister a sword both palewise, all Or. In each case, there is only one CD for the change to the field.

Hadad al Hadi. Name.

Hadad (also Haddad, and Hadaad, all pronounced with the accent on the second syllable) is not a given name, but an epithet, and is never found even in modern names without the article attached to it: al-Haddad. As a consequence the client lacks a given name, which is required by the rules.

Johannes the Black of the Athanor. Device. Sable, a furnace enflamed conjoined to a retort, in sinister chief a cross moline, a bordure Or.

The form of furnace here is not documented. While several drawings of various furnaces were found by the commenters, none of them looked like the submitted emblazon. As the registration of this would be the defining example in SCA armory, we are extremely reluctant to register it without much firmer documentation regarding both its blazonability and reconstructability.

Leona Selotí. Name.

No support for the byname was given beyond a translation of the individual elements in it. Because the language is completely unfamiliar to all of the commenters in the College, we need to have even more complete and better documentation than would be the case for some other language, such as, say, Italian.

MIDDLE

Ælfreda æt Æthelwealda. Device. Vert, a fret and on a chief enarched Or three mascles vert.

Conflict with Robinson, (Papworth P 87) Vert, fretty Or, on a chief of the second three escallops ermine. There is a CD for the changes to the tertiaries, but by prior Laurel precedent nothing for the change between a fret and fretty, nor for enarching the chief. Please see the Miscellany section of the Cover Letter attached to this LoAR for Master Baldwin of Erebor's statement regarding using Papworth (or more properly, Papworth's blazons) as evidence that period heralds did, or did not, consider a fret different from fretty.

Harold Lacklander. Device. Per pale gules and sable, on a pale convex between two axes addorsed argent a raven striking sable.

While the submitter has fixed one of the problems for which this device was returned in December 1982, the other remains. The notes made by Laurel in the file at that time state that "a pale convex is not a heraldic charge." The blazon submitted for it in the LoI, "embowed", does not accurately describe the emblazon.

Havenholde, March of. Device. Gyronny arrondy of twelve gules and argent, a tower sable and on a chief Or a laurel wreath between two ravens respectant sable.

The device is right at the outer limits of complexity for armory. That, combined with the problem of the laurel wreath not forming a "significant" portion of the design in this case, pushes it beyond the edge of appropriate style.

Ian Cameron. Name.

Conflict with John Cameron (1579-1623), noted Scots Theologian. As he has his own entry in the Encyclopedia Britannica, he is important to protect.

Jean Xavier Devereaux. Device. Per fess gules and argent, five fleurs-de-lys three and two counterchanged.

Conflict with Darley (Papworth P. 856), Gules, six fleurs-de-lys argent three, two and one. There is a CD for the field, but no difference between five and six charges, and no difference for changing the tincture of less than half the group.

Permelia MacClunge. Name.

Because this name differs only by adding an "e" to the surname, this is technically in conflict with her legal use name, per the Administrative Handbook Part I, Protected Items I, which states in pertinent part that "no item will be registered to a submittor if it is identical with an item used by the submittor legally or in common use outside the Society." It may not be the name she commonly uses, but it is legally available to her to be used at any time, and is therefore (one of her) legal name(s).

Roelof Doldersum. Name and device. Or, embedded in a tree stump eradicated sable an axe argent hafted and on a chief sable three ravens Or.

No documentation was presented, nor could any be found, for Doldersum. On the device, the argent head of the ax breaks tincture against the field. The head, the ax's primary distinguishing feature, is metal on metal.

Snorri Haraldsson. Device. Barry argent and sable, a pile inverted surmounted by a boar's head erased all within a bordure gules.

No documentation was presented which would allow an ordinary to be drawn so narrow as to be able to "transfix" the boar's head in this fashion. Indeed, the pile is drawn so narrowly that it loses its identifiability as a pile.

THE FOLLOWING SUBMISSIONS HAVE BEEN PENDED UNTIL THE APRIL 1992 MEETING:

ANSTEORRA

Cassandra O'Conner. Device. Vert, a chevron embattled argent between two Hungerford knots Or and a dogwood blossom argent slipped proper.

The tincture of the knots was dropped from the blazon in the LoI.

EAST

Valery Eugenia Fitzgerald. Device. Azure, on a bend sinister invected between two galleons argent, three clouds palewise sable.

The LoI stated that the galleons were "Or, sailed argent" but the color emblazon has no Or at all on it. Since "we register the emblazon", we need to know whether it was mis-blazoned or mis-emblazoned before we can register it.
