Joia de Tarleton. Name.
Líadan ingen MhicCaille. Name and device. Per chevron purpure, and argent, two crescents inverted Or and a massacre gules.
Submitted as Líadan Caille, according to the LoI Caille was stated to have come from Mac Caille. However, Mac Caille is a name with Mac as part of it, like MacBethad, and is not a patronymic form. And, even if Caille was a given name, Gaelic does not have double given names. Therefore we have changed the name to a correct patronymic form.
Patrick of Avebury. Name and device. Per chevron throughout sable and argent, on a compass star counterchanged a crux ansata Or.
Shimazu Kinuko Ayame. Name and device. Argent, a bend wavy between two carp urinant azure.

[We were tempted to reblazon this as a demi-moose of Finland, but wiser minds prevailed.]
Aarnimetsä, Barony of. Badge. (Fieldless) A demi-moose rampant sable, armed and unguled Or, its dexter foreleg replaced by an arm in armor argent garnished Or, brandishing a sword proper.
Gráinne inghean uí Uaithne. Household name for Domus Manucii.
Submitted as Domus Manucium, it was supposed to mean House of the Glove in Latin. However, the latter noun needs to be in the genitive. We have done so.
Juneborg, Shire of. Name and arms. Per fess azure and vert, a wall with a portal argent between a sun and a laurel wreath Or.
Mar Arthursson. Device. Gules, a chevron couped Or.

Faoiltiarn of Loughrea. Name and device. Per bend sinister purpure and Or, an annulet and a horse salient counterchanged.
Found on the LoI as Foailtiarn of Loughrea, it reversed the a and o in Faoiltiarn. We have corrected the spelling.

Micaela Annunziata. Name and device. Vert, a sword Or, between in chief two roses argent.
Muin maqq Minan. Device. Vert, on a plate, a flame issuant to chief from a bowl vert and a bordure rayonny Or.
Muin maqq Minan. Household name. Taigh Ruadh.
Submitted as Taigh nan Deirge, the meaning of the submitted name was House of the Red, which was not what the submitter wanted, nor did it make sense. We have corrected this to their desired form, Gaelic for Red House.
Ragnar MacHardy. Household name Clan MacHardy and badge. (Fieldless) A wolf's head contourny gules within and conjoined to an annulet Or.
Note: this does not stop anyone from using MacHardy in their name.
Rosalind atte Rylle. Name.
Submitted as Rosalynd atte Rylle, the only documentation for Rosalynd in the LoI said that it was proposed as a variant of Rosalind first used in Shakespeare's As You Like It. Since that is from the end of our period, we do not think it is likely that a variant form of the name was used during our period. Therefore we have changed it to the form found in Shakespeare.
Rüdiger Lutz. Name (see RETURNS for device).
Sorcha inghean ui Ruairc. Name.
Submitted as Sorcha inghean ui Rhuairc, the byname was incorrectly put into the genitive. We have corrected it.
Thomas Goldweard. Name (see RETURNS for device).
Thorgrim Defender. Name and device. Per bend sinister azure and gules, a hammer argent.
Wulstan of Ravenswood. Household name for House Ravenscrest (see RETURNS for badge).
Wulstan of Ravenswood. Alternate name. Wulstan of Ravenscrest
LOCHAC
Declan of Drogheda. Name and device. Argent, a phrygian cap purpure.
Gawaine Tristram of Blackmoore. Name (see RETURNS for device).
Gryffyd Ruddlan. Name.
Submitted as Gryffyd gan Ruddlan, period Welsh names do not use the preposition gan which means of or from. Therefore, we have removed it.
Rathnait inghean ui Chairealláin. Name (see RETURNS for device).
Submitted as Rathnat ni Chairelláin, the submitter wanted the name to be authentic for 13th-14th Century Irish. Therefore we have changed the connective to the proper form, and we have corrected the spelling of the given name.
Raichbhe Walkman. Name and device. Per bend sinister gules and purpure, a cartwheel argent.
MIDDLE

This was pended from the November 1998 LoAR.
SOCIETY FOR CREATIVE ANACHRONISM
Wales, Principality of. Arms. Argent, three lions passant guardant in pale gules.
According to Michael Powell Siddons' The Development of Welsh Heraldry, these were the arms of the Principality of North Wales throughout much of our period. Since we protect the arms both past and present of kingdoms and principalities, these are considered important enough to protect.
TRIMARIS
Alain de la Vignerie. Device. Per bend sinister argent and purpure, a bunch of grapes slipped and leaved proper, and a goblet inverted bendwise sinister argent.
Alexander McBain. Name.
Alexander MacKai. Name.
Alexandra Shipman. Name.

Darkwater, Barony of. Badge. (Fieldless) Four oak leaves in cross, stems to center gules, and four acorns in saltire, caps to center Or all conjoined at the center point.
Eachan Mac Gille Fhaolain. Name (see PENDS for device).
Egelina Nic Gille Fhaloain. Name (see RETURNS for device).
Found on the LoI as Egelina MacGille Fhaloain, the correct form of the byname is as two words, Mac Gille. We have corrected this. Furthermore, since Egelina is a female name, it needs to have a feminine byname, not a male one. We have made this correct.
Étaín ingen Mháel Ísu. Device. Or, a cross gules between four compass stars, a bordure sable.
Grainne inghean ui Ghobhann. Name and device. Quarterly indented vert and sable, three gilly flowers in bend argent seeded Or.
Note: this is registerable because very little of the line of division is covered by the flower.
Haakon Bjornsson. Badge transfer to B etislava Jerabek. Barry Or and gules, three antlers conjoined at their bases in pall inverted, a bordure rayonny sable.
Jakob Rotross von Templin. Name.
Submitted as Jakob Rot Ross von Templin, period exemplars combine Rot and Ross into one word. Therefore, we have done this.

Valdis Gylðir. Name.
Zahra bint Talib. Change of holding name Iris of Bryniaid.
THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN RETURNED FOR FURTHER WORK:
AETHELMEARC
Darragh MacKenzie. Name.
The LoI attempted to document Darragh as a back formation from MacDabhdara. However, MacDabhdara comes for Mac Duib Dara, and is not a given name in and of itself. The armory was registered under the holding name Debra MacKenzie.
Ekaterina Volkova. Badge. (Fieldless) A lemming sejant erect Or maintaining a goblet sable.
This conflicts with William Colquitt Vert, a rat rampant, tail sufflexed, Or. There is a CD for fieldlessness, but nothing between a lemming and a rat.
AN TIR
None!
ARTEMISIA
Angelique de la Seine. Name.
This is being returned for lack of documentation. While it is true, as the LoI states, that Angelique is found Withycombe, it is not dated to our period. Without such documentation the name must be returned. Furthermore, no documentation was presented for the form of the last name. The armory was registered under the holding name Joyce of Crystal Crags.
Anna Graham. Name.
This conflicts with the already registered Hannah Graham.
Callum Lamond. Device. Per chevron azure and argent, two irises slipped and leaved and a cross potent, a bordure embattled counterchanged argent and gules.
This is being returned for a redraw. As drawn it is not clear what kind of flower it is, except that it is clearly not an iris.
Duncan Walensis of Selkirk. Device. Per chevron throughout argent and sable, two wolves combattant sable and a stag's head cabossed argent, attired Or.
This is being returned for a redraw. While there is clearly something on the head of the stag, it does not look like antlers, or anything ever seen on a deer.
Duncan Walensis of Selkirk. Badge. (Fieldless) On a tree proper a wolf's head couped close argent.
This conflicts with Nygell Tallis (Fieldless) On a tree couped proper a winged boar segreant argent. There is one CD for the fieldlessness, but nothing for the type only of tertiary charge on complex charge such as a tree.
Eoghan Mac an Bhaird. Device. Vert, on a bend sinister argent, between two open books Or, a quill pen vert
This conflicts with Elisa of Thescorre Vert, on a bend sinister argent between two open books Or a rapier sable. There is just one CD, for the changes of type and tincture of the tertiary charge.
Medbh Gillacon. Name and device. Vert, two wolfhound's heads respectant, necks extended and conjoined to form a heart voided, issuant from the conjunction of the necks a tower, a bordure Or.
The name is being returned for lack of documentation for the given name. The documentation for the given name was taken from The Book of Irish Names, which is not a reliable source. Furthermore, the form there was not Medbh, but Meadhbh. While the LoI glossed the byname to mean Houndskeeper, it means something closer to servant of dogs.
The armory is being returned for a redraw. While we have reblazoned it as above, as drawn it is not reproducible. Torcs are round and not heart-shaped.
Muirgheal Sitheach of Ironhorse Keep. Name and device. Argent, a thistle proper and on a chief wavy purpure two whelk shells fesswise reversed argent.
This name has two different problems. First, Sitheach is a given name, not a byname. Since Gaelic does not use double given names, this formation is not registerable. Secondly, no documentation was presented, and none could be found for Ironhorse Keep as a period locative.
The armory is being returned for a redraw. The charges on the chief are not whelk shells or unicorn horns, or any other charge used in heraldry. The consensus of the Laurel meeting was that they were cream horns, but we did not think that was an appropriate term for the objects.
Rurick Christiansen. Device. Or, a sun and a chief dovetailed sable.
This conflicts with Rianna van Heiniken Or, a sun and on a chief embattled sable a pithon wavy volant to sinister Or. There is one CD for adding the tertiary charge to the chief but nothing between the dovetailed and embattled lines on the chief.
ATENVELDT
Cosmo Craven the Elder. Device. Per fess sable and gules, a skeletal hand fesswise argent and a mallet inverted Or.
This is being returned for a redraw. As drawn the hand is halfway between a hand and a cubit arm, blurring the distinction between them. It must be clearly one or the other.
Draco Rivenoak. Device. Per bend gules and Or, a bend wavy pean between two dragons involved in annulo counterchanged.
This is being returned for a redraw. The wavy was slight enough to be almost nonexistent. The dragons also need to be redraw so they are clearly in annulo, and look like dragons, not embryonic ones as they do now.
Shealea Kidd the Melodious. Name and device. Vert, a kid rampant gorged and chained and maintaining a shillelagh Or between three Vikings' heads argent, crined gules.
The name is being returned for two problems. First is lack of documentation of the given name. The only documentation for it is that it is the legal given name of the submitter's mother. That does not qualify it for the legal name allowance. Secondly, while the word melodious is documented to our period, its use as an epithet is highly implausible, and barring documentation for its use in names, is not acceptable.
The armory is being returned for two reasons. First the use of the kid. We do not use the young of animals except in very specific cases which were used in period, such as the pascal lamb. Secondly it is being returned for the use of "Vikings heads". We have never registered such a charge, and barring documentation for it as a period charge it must be returned. While it is true that human heads were used in period armory, no documentation was presented for the "Hagar the Horrible" type helmets, or why the addition of the helmets makes these "Viking heads".
ATLANTIA
Máille ingen Bhrain Cadal. Name and device. Per saltire azure and argent, in fess a demi-lion couchant to sinister guardant Or between two Celtic crosses sable.
The name is being returned for lack of a period given name. While it is true that it appears in Woulfe's Irish Names and Surnames, that is no guarantee that it is a period. Ó Corrain and Maguire (Gaelic Personal Names, p. 133) under Máire lists Maille (with no marking) among pet-forms of Máire with no date. However, given their previous note that the name Máire itself was extremely rare before the seventeenth century, it is quite unlikely that Máire formed a pet-form during our period. Barring documentation that it was used in period, it is not acceptable for use in the SCA.
The armory is being returned for a redraw. The Celtic crosses do not appear to be of the standard or usual depiction; the upper three arms appear to be potent (the default for an equal-armed Celtic cross), but the lower arm is both longer than the others (so this isn't an equal-armed cross) and have an odd "block" of some sort drawn in trian aspect. The blazon will not adequately and consistently reproduce the emblazon (as required by RfS VII.7.b.), and there is no blazon that would.
Kinoshita Yasuke. Device. Sable, four tops in cross tips to center within and handles conjoined to a bordure argent.
This is being returned for lack of documentation on the tops. Without documentation that this depiction is of a period artifact or a charge used in period European armory, this must be returned.
CAID
Christall Gordon. Household name for Aggregation of Kith.
This is being returned for non period style. Just because, as the LoI states, the "component pieces appear to be period" does not mean that Aggregation of Kith follow "the patterns of period names of organized groups of people", as required by the Rules for Submissions, III.2.b.iv. It is true that the LoI documents the words as having been used in period, but not in the matter specified in RFS III.2.b.iv.
The LoI notes the Society of Friends, dated to 1648, which is within our grey area, so suggests that therefore Aggregation of Kith is registerable. However, names from the grey area are permissible for use when there is a strong likelihood that they could have first been used prior to 1600, but were not recorded until afterwards (though prior to 1650). In the case of the Society of Friends it is well know when they came into existence, so it is not a period model.
Eleanor Hazleberie. Badge. (Fieldless) On a tower azure an eagle's head erased argent.
This conflicts with Muirghein ni Ghrainne On a tower azure a hawk displayed argent. There is one CD for fieldless. There is a change to the type of the tertiary charge, but since a tower is not a "simple" charge for purposes of X.4.j.ii., a second CD is not available.
Morgan the Fellwalker. Name.
According to the LoI, Fellwalker is the submitter's legal last name. As such, unless it is obtrusively modern, it can be used as the submitter's SCA byname. However, no documentation was presented for it except that it is the submitter's legal name. No evidence was presented for the use of the in the name. Therefore, since the client will take no changes, this is being returned because of the the.
Patrick of Avebury. Badge. (Fieldless) On a compass star sable a crux ansata argent.
This conflicts with Glynn Llan-y-Rhyllwyn Potenty gules and argent, a sun sable eclipsed argent charged with a mullet throughout sable. There is one CD for fieldlessness, but nothing for change of type only on a complex charge, and nothing for the quaternary charge. This also conflicts with Rudiger Macklin Argent, scaly vert, on a compass star nowed and elongated to base sable, a winged ram salient argent. Again there is one CD for fieldlessness, but nothing for change of type only on a complex charge and nothing for the nowing and elongation of the compass star.
Ricohard Bach. Name.
This conflicts with Richard Bach, author of Jonathan Livingstone Seagull, and other books. By the standards set by Master Da'ud as Laurel on the LoAR of 3/92 in the return of Patrick MacManus for conflict with Patrick F. McManus, a modern humor writer, this is a conflict.
DRACHENWALD
Angharad ferch Morfran. Device. Argent, in pale three catamounts passant gules.
Unfortunately, this conflicts with the arms used during most of our period of the Principality of North Wales Argent, three lions passant guardant in pale gules. See under Acceptances, Society for Creative Anachronism about this registration.
Helena Råtta. Device. Per pale vert and azure, a rat sejant erect its forepaws resting on an egg fesswise Or.
This is being returned for a redraw. The rat is halfway between sejant and sejant erect.
EAST
Carillion, Barony of. Badge. (Fieldless) A bell Or.
This conflicts with the badge for The Crier of An Tir, as cited in the LoI (Fieldless) A handbell Or. We give no difference between a handbell and the church bell submitted here.
Frosted Hills, Shire of. Badge. (Fieldless) A sturgeon naiant argent.
This conflicts with Anton de Winton Per chevron azure and Or scaly sable, in chief a herring naiant embowed argent. There is one CD for the field, but nothing for position on the field for a fieldless badge. There is no difference for the embowing: as per the LoAR of 7/92 p.21: Prior rulings notwithstanding, there is no difference between naiant and naiant embowed": the naiant posture often includes a slight embowment."
Katherine Aylwyn de Chaliers. Badge. (Fieldless) A Catherine's wheel Or.
This conflicts with Laszlo Rozsa as cited on the LoI, Per fess azure and gules, a wheel Or., with one CD for the field, and nothing for the difference between a wheel and a Catherine's wheel.
Robert Kirkpatrick. Name and device. Per bend sinister vert and argent, two griffins passant respectant counterchanged.
The name was registered on the October 1998 LoAR and the device was registered on the February 1999 LoAR.
Rüdiger Lutz. Device. Azure, a scorpion tergiant and in chief an axe fesswise Or.
This conflicts with Prospero de San Giuseppe Iato, registered 11/98 Azure, a scorpion a bordure Or., with one CD for changing the axe to a bordure.
Susana del Lago. Device. Argent, a mounted knight passant, bearing a banner gules, a bordure sable crusilly formy argent.
The name was registered on the October 1998 LoAR and the device was registered on the February 1999 LoAR.
Thomas Goldweard. Device. Azure, in chief two dragons combattant Or and in base a cross swallowtail argent.
This conflicts with Domhnait of the Cleftlands Azure, two dragons combattant Or., with a single CD for addition of the cross.
Wulstan of Ravenswood. Badge. Vairy vert and Or, a raven contourny sable.
This conflicts with Morgan ni Lochlainn Gyronny gules and argent, a raven close to sinister sable, armed and membered Or. and Susan of Ravenhill Or, a raven statant to sinister proper grasping a broken tilting-spear banded sable and gules. In each case the only CD is for the field.
LOCHAC
Gawaine Tristram of Blackmoore. Device. Quarterly argent and azure, a wyvern erect to sinister gules.
This conflicts with the registered badge of Graidhne ni Ruaidh (Fieldless) A dragon rampant to sinister gules maintaining a straight trumpet Or. There is no type difference for wyvern to dragon and nothing for the maintained charge.
Rathnait inghean ui Chairealláin. Name and device. Azure, a pair of shears and on a chief Or three bobbins sable.
This is being returned for a redraw. While the charges on chief were blazoned as bobbins on the LoI, they do not resemble lace bobbins, which are what we refer to as bobbins. They are somewhat similar to quills of yarn or embroiderer’s quills, but are dissimilar enough to them that we cannot reblazon them as either one. They most closely resemble the bobbins used on a serger sewing machine, but those are way out of period.
Wilfrid de Ackelonde. Device. Checky sable and argent a dragon rampant gules.
This is being returned for administrative reasons. No mini-emblazon was included on the LoI.
TRIMARIS
Brian MacFergus. Device. Sable, in fess a compass star Or between two hammers in chevron argent, a bordure embattled Or.
This is being returned for a redraw. The embattling on the bordure is so scant as to be barely there. While not in and of itself grounds for return, please ask the submitter when redrawing to please center the compass star and the hammers.
Bryn ab Urien Ysgolhaig. Name.
While Bryn is found in Gruffudd's Welsh Personal Names, it is not dated to period as a given name. Absent documentation that this is a period name this must be returned.
Egelina Nic Gille Fhaloain. Device. Argent, a chevron inverted vert, in base three thistles slipped and leaved proper.
This is being returned for a redraw. A chevron inverted does not issue from the upper corners of the shield, but from the sides.
Geaspar O'Murchadha. Name.
This is being returned for lack of documentation for the given name. The only documentation presented was from The Book of Irish Names, which is not a reliable source.
Lance of Lancaster. Device. Or, a python erect affronty wings displayed, on a bordure invected vert three lion heads Or.
This is being returned for a redraw. The bordure is a very odd shape, not following the general contours of the shield in the corners, in order to make sufficient room for the lion’s heads to be identifiable, which produces three "bulges" in the bordure where the lion heads are.
Tatyana Mkihailavna Popovych. Name.
This name is incorrectly constructed. According to Escutcheon:
"[T]he second element is spelled incorrectly and should be Mikhailovna. The final element is spelled wrong and in the wrong gender. Wickenden [using 2nd ed] (182) gives Popovich as a masculine patronymic of Pop. The feminine could be Popovicha or Popova, but the former is not grammatically sound in conjunction with a patronymic that ends in "-ovna" like the preceding element does.
Correct forms would be Tatyana Mikhailovna, Tatyana Popovicha, or Tatyana Mikhailovna Popova.
Vilhelm Borsbane. Name change from Vilking Jöfursbani.
This is being returned for lack of documentation for Vilhelm and for Borsbane. While the LoI asserted that Vilhelm is found in Withycombe, we were unable to find it there, or in any other source. No documentation was found for the form Borsbane as well.
