Name.  zP)- v ,sThe earliest citation of the word reluctant is in 1662, past the Society's cutoff date of 1600, past even our  !50year "grey zone" for documentation. We cannot register it without some evidence of period use. We'd have deleted it, except the submitter permitted only minor changes to her name.(#"+.,,-"Ԍ yP- d(#;ԙ Robert of Bohemia . Device. Argent, a Scottish piper passant to sinister argent, garbed vert and or, in sinister chief three musical notes, two and one, azure all within a bordure compony vert and Or.  v ,sThis runs afoul of the ban on overly pictorial design, Rule VIII.4.a: the musical notes hovering over the  !piper are a cartoon representation of music. Moreover, the argent piper has no contrast with the argent field. Finally, period bagpipes had at most two drones. This needs an extensive redesign.(#  yP- Robin of Rhovanion . Badge.

In each case there's a CD for  zP- !=fieldlessness, but none for type of canine beast, none for passant vs. statant, and none for the posture of the head.(#  yPh - d(# Ruben Klaus Winterhalter . Badge. (fieldless) A rainbow "proper" clouded sable, surmounted by an arrow inverted sable.  zP - v /,sThe heraldic rainbow proper has four stripes, vert, argent, Or and gules, in that order (on a lightcolored  !field, which the sable arrow overall implies). The submitted rainbow isn't correctly tinctured for a heraldic  !rainbow; neither is it properly tinctured for a natural rainbow. And blazoning each of its stripes individually  !>would only emphasize the nonheraldic nature of the submission. If he resubmits with an honest heraldic rainbow, there should be no stylistic problems.(#  yP- d(#I  Sara Annchen Baumeister . Name and device. Azure, on a chevron Or masoned sable between two dividers and  |Pt-an Aframe plumbline Or,  a wooden carpenter's square in chevron proper.  zP@- v !,sUntil such time as the Board of Directors releases the title Master for use by the populace, it must be  !?considered a title of peerage in the Society; we will not register any name that claims to be a "Master  ![[anything]". In the case of the Master Bowmen of the East (LoAR of July 90), it was ruled: "We cannot, in  !Zgood conscience, register a title reserved by Corpora to peers to any nonpeerage group, no matter in what form they propose to use it." The same argument applies to individuals.(#  v N,sWe would normally, at this point, register the device under a holding name. However, the device was  !misblazoned in the LOI, making accurate conflictchecking impossible. The thought of pending a device so  !that it could be registered under a holding name seems circuitous particularly for a device at the very edge  !of acceptable complexity, as this one is. It seems better, all around, to give the submitter a chance to redesign both the name and device.(#  yP- Thomas Smith . Name.  v >,sThis conflicts with Sir Thomas Smith (b.1513), the Elizabethan statesman who negotiated the Treaty of  !Troyes; and with Sir Thomas Smythe (b.1558), who helped found the Colony of Virginia. Both gentlemen are  xP3- !cited in general references (E.Brit., vol.10. p.906; Webster's Biographical Dictionary, p.1377), and both are important enough to protect.(#  yP- Yamamoshi no Yoshi .

There's a CD for the secondary charges, but the primary charge in both armories is essentially a saltire voided. I can't see granting difference for the tiny changes at the intersection of the saltire.(#  zP- v /,sWhen this is resubmitted, please note to the submitter that ravens don't have crests and do have hairy feathers.(#  yP- Laeghaire ua'Laverty . Badge. Party of six pieces gules and Or, three bells Or.  zP- v ,sThis was blazoned on the LOI as Per fess gules and Or, on a pale counterchanged between two bells, a  zP- !bell Or. That would be the normal modern blazon, but not the period blazon. In period, this was considered  !a field division, not a counterchanged pale. It appears to have been considered a field division from its  !invention, mid15th Century, to the end of our period: the arms of the Worshipful Company of Girdlers,  zP - !granted 1454, were blazoned on the grant as a schucheon of .vi. pointes of Azure & gold with .iii. greydyron  zP - ![gridirons] of that same, while the arms of Thomas Cromwell, Earl of Essex, were given in the Parliamentary  zP - !jRoll of 1540 as Party of six pieces or and gules three fleurs de lys azure and three pelicans or. It wasn't until  xPZ - !Bossewell's Armorie of 1572 that the field began to be blazoned as a counterchanged pale and Bossewell  !makes clear that this is an alternate blazon, not the recommended style. The "official" blazon is still as a six !Mparted field: "Partie per fesse, countercolored in 6. quarters .... and the same I do commende, for that he which used hys blazon was an Heraulte, and wel learned in theire mysteries."(#  v z,sWith such documentation in hand, I have little choice but to count this a conflict with Swymmer, cited in  zPB-the LOI (Papworth 181): Gules, three bells Or. There's a single CD, for the field.(#  v ,sThere was some feeling that the College has a longstanding tradition of regarding this as a counterchanged  !Lpale, not a field. I couldn't find any precedent or ruling supporting such a tradition. Quite the contrary: our  !policy is that we register the emblazon, not the blazon, and a conflict found under any valid blazon is a real  !Lconflict. We try not to equate charges with field divisions, but occasionally we must witness how often we  zP,- !must call conflict between a pile and Chauss) and based on the new research presented, this is such a case.  ![Any change that would distinguish this as a counterchanged pale (e.g. tincture, complex line) would bring this clear of Swymmer; so would reversing the field's tinctures, which would put the bells 1&2.(#  yPN- Thomas Britton . Badge. (fieldless) On a compass star sable, a lion's head erased argent.  zP- v ,sConflicts with Rudiger Macklin (SCA): Argent scaly vert, on a compass star nowed and elongated to base  zP- !sable, a winged ram salient argent. There's a CD for the field, but nothing for type of tertiary on a complex charge.(#  yOw CAID Đ\ None!  yO f, CALONTIR Đ\  yP{"- Ginevra Cecilia da Firenze . Device. Or, a lion's head azure jessantdelys vert.  zPD#- v ,sThis conflicts with Terell (Papworth 911): Or, a leopard's head jessantdelys gules. After much thought,  zP$- !we decided that the leopard's head jessantdelys was common enough in period armory to be considered a  zP$- !ksingle charge, in the same way a penner and inkhorn would be. It could equally well be considered a single group of conjoined charges. Either way, there's a single CD, for the tincture of the primary charge group.(#  yP2'- Isabella du Dauphin) . Name.  v O,sThe Dauphin) is a region in SE France, which between 1378 and 1830 was nominally ruled by the  !Dauphin, the heir to the throne of France. Isabella of Bavaria was the wife of that Dauphin who later became  !Charles VI (Webster's Biographical Dictionary, p.763). This name is thus a direct conflict, in the same way  zPS*-Diana of Wales would conflict with the wife of the current Prince of Wales.(# "+.,,,"Ԍ yP- Katrine Vanora of Maidstone . Badge. (fieldless) An estoile gyronny wavy of twelve Or and purpure.  v ,sIn Society heraldry, while fields may be gyronny of as many as 12, charges may be gyronny of no more than 8. (LoAR of 22 March 83)(#  zPY- v ,sMoreover, this conflicts visually with the badge of Daffyd of Emmet (SCA): (fieldless) A mullet of six  zP#- !ypoints gyronny of twelve Or and gules. (Daffyd's badge, registered in Aug 79, predates the precedent.) While we concede sufficient technical difference, a visual comparison confirmed they were too close.(#  yP}- Lars Gilsson . Device. Or, a demidrakkar couped palewise reversed sable, sailed vert.  zPF- v l,sConflicts with the arms of Echlin (Papworth 1089): Or, an antique galley with sails furled sable and  zP- !yforked pennon gules. There's a CD for the change to the ship, but we can't see granting Sufficient Difference  !per Rule X.2; and as both the drakkar and the antique galley (i.e. lymphad) are nearly symmetrical charges,  |P- !there's no difference for which  half of the boat is cut away. Prior Laurel rulings (LoARs of July 91, Nov 91)  zPn - ![have granted no difference for the tincture of a ship's sails just as we grant no difference for sails furled vs.  zN8 -unfurled.(#  xP -  yP - Morgana Bro Morgannwg . Badge. (fieldless) On a flame proper, a laurel sprig vert.  zP - v >,sAs drawn, this is not an heraldic flame proper, but a flame Or, marked as though shadowed gules (which  zP[ - ! is about the closest I could render it). She needs to redraw this as a correct flame proper, or else solid Or  !(which may introduce new conflicts). Note that, in this case, the coloration of flame proper is defined by the green tertiary charge: gold interior, red exterior.(#  yP}- Olaf >splund Fr >stersund . Name.  zPF- v \,sNo documentation was cited to support the submitter's claim that >splund was a period Swedish surname;  zP- !we might accept the Swedish Asplund "aspen grove" as a surname, but we'd want to see evidence for variant  zP- ![spellings. The city of >stersund was not founded until 1786 (Columbia Lippincott Gazetteer, p.1397), so he  !cannot claim to have been born there in period. Finally, the preposition should not be capitalized, and may  zPl-even be incorrect Swedish idiom; Lord Palimpsest suggests fraan (modern fr#n) as the appropriate term.(#  zP6-,sThe device was registered under the name Olaf of Forgotten Sea.(#  yOx EAST Đ\  yP - Angeline of the Grove. Badge. Azure, a ferret salient to sinister argent.  zP- v \,sThis conflicts with Aleksandr Bogoliubskii (SCA): Gyronny vert and Or, a ferret statant bendwise sinister  zP-to sinister argent. There's a single CD, for the field; the postures are equivalent.(#  xP}-  yPE- Brynjolfr Myrkjartanarson . Household name for Compaignie Mercurie.  zP- v ?,sThe name is a technical infringement on the planet Mercury; according to the OED, it was spelled as  zP- !Mercurie in period and was known to be a place. It's certainly famous enough to protect. We might have  |P- !argued jesuitically that, per the Administrative Handbook (p.3), the College protects only " geographical   zPn- !locations" with emphasis on geo, "earth". But that line of reasoning would seem to open the door for such  zP8 -submissions as House of Antares, and we have a long history of returning extraterrestrial names.(#  v ,sThere were some comments about the electronic nature of the household, but the College doesn't concern  !itself with households' exact organization. And while the name might be argued to conflict with the Roman  !Ngod Mercury who, like the planet, meets the criteria for protection in the Handbook allusions to  zPZ#- !supernatural guardians were common enough to allow us to call it clear. That is, Compaignie Mercurie no  zP$$-more conflicts with the god Mercury than, say, the Company of St. Jude conflicts with St. Jude.(#  yO$  yP%- d(#v Cerridwen nic Alister . Device. Vert, on a pale purpure fimbriated ermine two axeheads, blades to chief, overall a lion passant Or.  v k,sThe device is overly complex. Ermine fimbriation is disallowed (LoAR of 3 Aug 86, p.17), as are overall  zP(- !charges surmounting fimbriated ordinaries (9 March 86, p.12). Reblazoning this as Vert, on a pale ermine a  zP(- !pallet purpure charged with two axeheads ... overall a lion passant Or would remove those objections, but  !then the axeheads would be obvious quaternary charges. No matter how blazoned, this is unacceptably complex.(# "3+.,,-"Ԍ yP- d(#  Kieran MacCrimmin . Device. Per pale vert and argent, two scarpes counterchanged between five stalks of barley arranged as in a garb Or and a bunch of grapes purpure, slipped and leaved proper.  v ,sThis is too complex. There are five tinctures and three types of charge, which is on the edge of acceptable  !complexity; the counterchanged ordinaries, and the unorthodox arrangement of barley, conspire to send it over the edge. This must be returned for simplification; he might be advised to use an honest heraldic garb, as well.(#  yP- Konner MacPherson . Device. Per pale sable and argent, a tower counterchanged enflamed proper.  zPz- v {,sConflict with the device of Michel d'Avignon (SCA): Per pale sable and argent, a twotowered castle  zPD- !\counterchanged. There's no heraldic difference between a tower and a castle; even granting a CD for the flames, there's still not enough difference.(#  v ,sWhen he resubmits, please have the submitter draw the enflaming in a correct medieval manner: spurts  zP- !zof flames issuant from the sides and top. As drawn, this is halfway between a tower enflamed and a flame  zNh -charged with a tower.(#  yP - d(# Konner MacPherson . Badge. (fieldless) On a flame issuant from base gules, a falcon's bust issuant from base argent detailed sable.  v ,sA fieldless badge cannot have charges issuant from the edge, per Rule VIII.5. Additionally, the sable detailing is mostly on the bust's edge, giving it poor contrast with the gules flame.(# ,s(#  yP- d(# Nils Rixon . Device. Argent, on a bend sinister sable between two boar's heads "proper", three goblets palewise argent.  zPr- v ,sThe boar's heads were blazoned sable on the LOI, but colored brown on the full emblazon. Unfortunately,  zP<- !that makes them unblazonable: they aren't proper, for boars in nature are darkgrey to black in color. Nor  zP- !does there seem to be such a thing as a brown boar that could be rendered in this coloring. With no way to blazon the tincture of the heads, this must be returned.(#  yP`- Rabenstein, Shire of . Device. Argent, a chevron and in base a raven, overall a laurel wreath sable.  v @,sThe sable laurel wreath, overlying the sable chevron, is rendered unidentifiable. Indeed, from any  !distance, the entire device becomes a large black blob; the three conjoined sable charges lose all identity. This needs to be redesigned; changing some tinctures, or making the laurel wreath not overall, might do the trick.(#  yO  |PI- d(#JRagnar the Wolf . Device. Per chevron azure and argent, two wolves rampant contourny argent  and an eagle displayed and sinister facing sable.  v ,sThe tincture of the wolves was omitted from the blazon in the LOI. Normally, that would cause the submission to be pended, but Lord Leveret found a conflict, making it moot.(#  zPm- v ,sThis conflicts with Seadna Adare (SCA) Per chevron azure and argent, two wolves combattant argent, and  zP7- !an oak tree proper. There's a CD for the cumulative changes to the charge in base (LoAR cover letter of 6  !Sept 90). However, changes to any but the bottommost of three charges 2&1 don't garner a CD (v. LoAR of Oct 90, p.17), so reversing one of the wolves does not bring this clear. (#  yO  yPY-Rhiannon de Licorne of Carreg Cennen . Name.  zP" - v >,sThe byname de Licorne, "of Unicorn", is as ungrammatical in French as in English. Either Licorne must  !be documented as a place, or else the definite article inserted. Far more problematic was the use of the Welsh  zP!- !horse goddess Rhiannon with "of Unicorn": "It is a longstanding policy that the name Rhiannon may not be  !coupled with horses or unicorns, in view of Rhiannon's function as a horse goddess." [AmCoE, 27 Sept 86]  !The submitter specifically forbade any deletions to her name; however, as she permitted a holding name, we've  zP$-registered her armory under Bev of Settmour Swamp.(#  yOh& "h&.,,("  yOiGMERIDIES Đ\  yP- d(# Blackmoor Keep, Shire of . Device. Sable, on a pale argent a tower sable, within a laurel wreath overall counterchanged, in chief two fleurs-de-lys argent.  v \,sOur general policy (LoAR of July 92, p.20), based on period practice, is that only ordinaries (or similarly  !Lsimple charges, such as roundels) may be counterchanged across ordinaries. The laurel wreath is not a simple  !charge, and may not be counterchanged here. While we were tempted to be lenient in this case (considering  !the arms of the Shire's parent Kingdom contain a laurel wreath counterchanged across a pale), I decided that making an exception here would open a larger can of worms than I could contemplate with equanimity.(#  yP- d(#; Jane Falada of Englewood . Household name and badge for Ursus Imminere. Gules, a sword argent, overall a bear's head erased to sinister proper, a bordure argent semy of ivy leaves vert.  v ,sThe household name and badge were twice submitted on the LOI: once under Jane's name, and once under  zP* - !jthe name of John the Bearkiller (q.v.). Per our current policy on joint badge registration (LoAR cover letter  !of 3 Aug 92), one of these gentles must be designated the primary badgeholder. Since the badge uses a  !currently unacceptable practice (the brown bear's head on the gules field), this could only be registered under the Grandfather Clause which means Jane may not be the primary badgeholder.(# ,s(#  yP- d(# John the Bearkiller . Household name and badge for Ursus Imminere; to be held jointly with Jane Falada of  d(#Englewood. Gules, a sword argent, overall a bear's head erased to sinister proper, a bordure argent semy of ivy leaves vert.  zPm- v ,sThe household name lacks a designator (House, Domus, etc.), required per Rule III.1.b. Even were such  !a designator added, the name would be incorrect grammar: "(House) Bear to Be Imminent" makes no sense,  !in English or Latin. Without knowing the submitter's exact intention, I cannot suggest a correct Latin construction.(#  v ,sThe badge has four types of charge and four tinctures, which is pushing the limits of acceptable complexity.  !Given the poor contrast of the brown head on the gules field, the badge as a whole becomes unacceptable. (The  !submitter may use a brown head on a gules field, thanks to the Grandfather Clause; but new submissions must still be judged on their own stylistic merits.)(#  v ,sFinally, there's a procedural question regarding the submitter's current joint registration with Heather of  zPw- !Tyson (House of the Scarlet Diamond, Argent, a fillet cross arrondi sable between in bend two lozenges gules).  !=Under our current policy on joint registration, one person would be the primary badgeowner, with authority  !yto release the badge. It's not clear what policy was in force in May 83, when the current household name and  !badge were registered; it may be that John does not have the unilateral right to release them without Heather's permission. He may wish to consider a straightforward transfer to her, instead.(#  yP)- Urluin le Garlykemongere . Device. Per fess rayonny vert and Or, three Maltese crosses counterchanged.  v ,sThe rayonny line of division is drawn too small to be visible from any distance.

While this rule of thumb may be waived for a truly period design,  zPB-the use of mullets of four points elongated to base prevents this from being considered such a design.(#  zP - v ,sLord Crux Australis has advocated renaming the mullet of four points (elongated to base or not) as a cross  zP- !estoile. The cross estoile is indeed an heraldic charge, found in the arms of van Toulon, of Utrecht; but the  !earliest citation I've found for it is 19th Century. (I note that Rietstap, who cites van Toulon as his exemplar  zPh - !Lfor the charge, blazons it une croix )toil)e ()toile ! quatre rais) that is, even he gives mullet of four points  !as an alternate blazon for the charge!) Without evidence that the charge is period, I'm reluctant to start using its Victorian name particularly when our current usage is equally good (or bad).(#  yP - d(#  Eriu Morgana Nic Dhubhghlaise Crawford .

Since both groups of primary charges contain a raptor,  !Rule X.2 doesn't apply; there is a single CD for type of charge.

The only period examples  zPj&- !of wreathing are to be found, naturally enough, on the charge known as the wreath or torse: it could be drawn  !with the folds of cloth bulging the edge, or as an annulet compony. See the examples in Foster, p.121; Parker,  ! pp.308, 631; and Guillim, p.291. If, for the definitive case of wreathing, the invected edge is considered  !/artistic license, then it cannot count for difference here.

She might try simply putting the bezants in chief.(#  yOye OUTLANDS Đ\  yP - Ard Thir, Shire of . Name.  zP- v \,sThis conflicts with the Kingdom of An Tir (SCA). Per Rule V.2, the addition of the adjective ard "high"  zP- !>is not enough to bring it clear.

(A similar  zP. -example in modern English might be South Bronx vs. The Bronx.)(#  zP - v k,sSince Ard Thir means "high land", it also conflicts with the Scottish Highlands; rdThir is their name for the region, in their own tongue.(#  yPR - d(# Aric Thomas Percy Raven . Name and device. Quarterly Or and lozengy azure and Or, in bend two ravens contourny sable.  v ,sThe use of four elements in an English name is anomalous (a "weirdness"), costing the submitter the benefit  !.of the doubt (LoAR of July 92, p.18); it's permissible only if there are no other problems with the name. In  zPs- !this case, the use of Aric is a problem; it is not directly attested (although similar names, such as Arich and  zP=- !Airic, are), and it appears to date from three centuries earlier than the rest of the name. The accumulated weirdnesses are too much to register; we suggest he delete one of the names.(#  v ,sAfter much soulsearching, I must agree with the commenters who saw an appearance of marshalling in  !=the device. Rule XI.3.b states that quarterly may be used only "when no single portion of the field [appears]  ! to be an independent piece of armory." In general, complexity in any of the quarters makes it look like  !independent armory; for example, XI.3.b explicitly cites the use of multiple charges in a quarter as  zP- !.unacceptable. The motif Quarterly X and Y, in bend two [charges] is allowable when the uncharged quarters  !are plain tinctures; we don't protect plain tinctures. But when the uncharged quarters are complex fields, we  !lose that rationale; and the complexity then begins to make it look like an independent coat. This, beneath all the subtext, is exactly what XI.3.b is meant to prevent.(#  v ,sThis must be returned for the appearance of quartered armory. He might consider using plain tinctures in all four quarters, or using a charge overall.(# ,s(#  yPi- d(#  >rd?g Magyar B)la . Device.

Name resubmission for the Order of Black Widows.  zP- v ,sThe name had been previously returned for conflict with Widow's Abbey; for use of the name of an animal  !/not known to period Europeans; and because the College did not wish to appear to endorse an Order that  !discriminated by gender. The first and third of these issues have been addressed, by permission in one case,  zPC- !by revising the charter of the Order in the other. However, the second issue remains: the phrase black widow has not been demonstrated to be period, either as the name of a spider or anything else.(#  v M,sIn conversation, Lord Lymphad has informed me that the phrase was used in period to refer to rapacious  !women, and that it was given to the spider as an allusion to that usage. He hasn't supported this assertion with  !documentation, however; and my own efforts at documenting the phrase turned up empty. (The closest I came  !were some lateperiod adages to the effect of "Beware of the woman thricewidowed." It's much the same sentiment, but not helpful in this case.)(#  zP - v ,sWhile I concede that the words black and widow are period words, the phrase black widow is a modern  !construction. As with the Artemisian Tank Corps (returned Feb 91), though the parts of the name may be  !period, the name as a whole is decidedly modern. In previous appeals, the submitters have made clear that the  !]Order's name specifically referred to the black widow spider; and that's certainly how the name will be  !=perceived. No evidence has yet been produced that the spider was known to medieval Europeans, or even to  zP- !anyone prior to the 19th Century. (It didn't even get the name black widow until the early 20th Century.) Without such evidence, we will not register the creature, by name or in armory.(#  zP9- v ,sWith regard to the possible conflict with the Marvel comic book character the Black Widow, I believe such  !character names should only be protected if the name is likely to be known outside the ranks of comic book  zP- !aficionados. Superman, Spiderman, Wonder Woman, for instance, are wellknown enough to be protected; the  !MBlack Widow is not.
