Found on the LoI as Ashlynn Blackheart it was originally submitted as Aislynn Blackhart, and changed in kingdom. Since Blackhart could be an inn sign it is registerable. Therefore we have restored the byname to the originally submitted form.

His former device Per chevron rayonny vert and Or, two lions combattant Or and a dragon passant azure, in chief a coronet argent. is hereby released.

Isobel Grace Hadleigh. Device. Azure, on a bend invected argent, a salamander tergiant sable enflamed proper

James Parker. Name.

Jelyan of Lindisfarne. Device. Per saltire gules and vert, a cross of Calatrava and on a chief Or a hawk's bell vert between two more gules.

A possible conflict with Francesco Greco Azure, a Latin cross flory and on a chief Or three compass stars gules. was called. There is a CD for field, but the question was asked if there was a CD for changing type only of the tertiaries; whether it was eligible for X.4.j.ii. since the tertiaries while the same, do not have the same tincture. Having the tertiaries different tinctures does not make them ineligible for X.4.j.ii, and so this is clear.

Please instruct the submitter to draw larger dovetails on the per saltire line of division.

This is to be associated with their badge Azure, on a mountain of three peaks vert, fimbriated and snow-capped argent, a heart Or.

Ered Sul, Barony of. Order name for Order of the Gilded Shield.

This is to be associated with their badge Azure, on a mountain of three peaks vert, fimbriated and snow-capped argent, an escutcheon Or.

Please instruct the submitter to draw deeper waves in the per pale division.

Her former name Etienne Philippe Chauncy is to be retained as an alternate name and her former device Sable, a sea-horse erect, on a chief argent, two lutes fesswise sable. is to be retained as a badge to be associated with Etienne Philippe Chauncy.

Submitted as Shaun of the Vert Forest, no documentation was presented for vert as a modifier for forest. We have eliminated it in order to register the name. Shaun is the submitter's legal first name.

Submitted as Snorri Vatnsalfur Bjarnarson, Vatnsalfur was glossed as a constructed epithet meaning water-sprite. However, no documentation was presented to show it was an epithet that a human being would using. We have eliminated it in order to register the name and device.

Submitted as Eilis na Ballagh, the na does not belong, since Ballagh is an epithetic surname formed from the Irish adjective ballach (speckled, marked). Therefore, we have removed it.

His former device Pean, three wine amphorae and a chief urdy argent., is hereby released.

Her former device Gyronny argent and azure, 3 compass-stars counterchanged., is hereby released.

Submitted as Medb ingen Bhrain the correct patronymic form is Brain. We have corrected the name.

While registered in July 1979 as College of Yarvid, the group has thought that what was registered as Yarnvid. There is no record in kingdom or Laurel files as to what was submitted; the only record that it was registered is the appearance of the acceptance in the LoAR.

No documentation could be produced for the form Yarvid, and Fause Losenge was able to provide citations showing that Yarnvid could be a plausible Anglicization of "Járnviðr" which is an actual place in Denmark. Therefore, we are registering the change.

The armory was submitted under the name Tara the Twin of Dartford.

Her previous name Edith of York is to be retained as an alternate name.

The armory was submitted under the name Morgan the Fellwalker which was returned March 1999.

Please instruct the submitter to draw fess wider. The armory was submitted under the name Ælfstan Fæstenwulfe.

Contrary to our normal practice, please ask the submitter to draw the fess narrower.

Submitted as Conna ingen uí Cearbhaill, the byname needed to be into the genitive. We have done so.

Submitted as Gwendolyn Eve MacDonald, the submitted spelling violated a precedent set down in the cover letter of August 1995 which said:

The question was raised as to whether or not this is considered slot machine since it has three dissimilar charges in one group. While it is true that it has three charges, when a bow and arrow are in their standard, expected position they are considered one charge, just like a sword in a scabbard is considered one charge. It is only when they are separated, or put into non standard positions for their normal use, such as being crossed in saltire, that they become two separate charges.

His former device Sable, a cockerel's leg bendwise sinister couped argent and a bordure embattled argent goutty de sang., is hereby released.

Nice armory!

She has received permission to conflict from Connor MacKenzie Azure, a chevron embattled argent between two wolf's heads couped contourny and a sun Or. This is clear of Morien ap Rhys of Cardiff Azure, a chevron raguly throughout argent between two mullets of six points Or and a unicorn statant argent, armed and crined Or. There is one CD for removing the secondary group, and one for the difference between embattled versus raguly, since embattled has a complex line on just the top side of the chevron and raguly has it on the top and bottom side. This is also clear of John de Caversham Azure, a chevron couched from dexter argent., with one CD for the embattling and a second for orientation; the default orientation of the chevron versus couched from dexter.

Nice armory!

Submitted as Aislinn Aine Caomhanach, Gaelic doesn't have double given names. Therefore, we have removed the second middle name Aine. We have put the byname into the proper genitive form. Note: Caomhanach is not a patronymic surname.

His former device Per bend sinister bendy sinister argent and vert, and argent, in sinister base a brown wolf's head, erased and affronty, maintaining in its mouth a garden rose gules., is hereby released.

Submitted as Ingelrii Kelvin the documentation for Ingelrii came from the name being incised on the blades of some 10th century swords. No other documentation was found for this spelling, though the form Ingelric is found in Searle's Onomasticon Anglo-Saxonicum. The forms found on the swords were INGRLRIIMEFECIT and INGELRIH FECIT, which mean Ingelrii made me, with Ingelrii not being in the nominative case. Since there is no acceptable documentation for the form Ingelrii being used as a name in and of itself, we have changed it to the closest documentable form.

Submitted as Ursula Sturlasdatter, the patronymic form was incorrectly constructed. We have corrected this.

He already has a device registered under the holding name Alric of Flaming Gryphon Quarterly azure and gules, a lion rampant guardant a bordure Or., which is hereby released, along with his holding name.

His name was returned December 1998 for conflict. The armory was submitted under the name David de Lindsay.

She has received permission to conflict from Eleanor de Wardon.

Please show the submitter on how to draw a correct wavy.

The name was submitted with some minor diacritical marks. al-Jamal assures us that they are not necessary, so we are registering this without them, since some of them are almost impossible to reproduce.

This conflicts with Alrikr af Stjarnaheimi Per chevron throughout azure and argent, two compass stars and a pithon embowed counterchanged., from whom she has received permission to conflict. This is clear of Deporodh of Rannoch Per chevron abased azure and argent, two mullets argent and a birch leaf erect proper., with one CD for changing the type of every charge and one for changing the tincture of the bottommost charge.

Note: she is the legal daughter of Asad Ud-Din and therefore may use his name through invoking the grandfather clause.

Submitted as Anastasia Golitsyn the byname was in the masculine form. We have corrected it and put it into the feminine form.

Submitted as Gianna Bianco the byname was in the masculine form. We have corrected it and put it into the feminine form.

The armory was submitted under the name Günther Klör von Gurk

Nice armory!

Her former device Sable, on a chevron argent five roses purpure barbed and seeded proper in base a falcon striking argent. is hereby released.

The former badge (Fieldless) Two stags combatant sable sustaining between them a double headed axe Or., is hereby released.

The former badge (Fieldless) Two stags combatant sable sustaining between them a fleur-de-lys gules. is hereby released.

The former badge (Fieldless) Two stags combatant sable sustaining between them a column argent. is hereby released.

Submitted as Uther von Schwartzwald, the Schwartzwald takes von dem which becomes vom, not von. We have corrected this.

This conflicts with Artus Falconieri’s Quarterly pean and purpure a wyvern displayed argent, with one CD for the field. While adding wings to a charge is usually significant, adding a second set of wings to an already winged charge is not of comparable visual weight, and is insufficient to produce a countable difference. This also runs afoul of our rule of two weirdnesses, by having a four-winged wyvern and a bird-winged wyvern.

This is being returned for a redraw. While it is true that there were a number of different type of labels used in period, this does not resemble any of them.

This is being returned for a redraw. The cat's eyes do not resemble natural cat's eyes or the one in the PicDic.

This conflicts with Connor MacKenzie, registered 10/98.

This conflicts with Tangwystyl verch Morgant Glasvryn Per chevron argent and vert, in base a falcon close argent. We give no difference for the ployé, or between two raptors in the same position. This leaves only one CD, for the addition of the ivy leaves.

This conflicts with Megan Silverstar Vert, a chevron throughout and in base a mullet of eight points argent. There is a CD for changing mullet to the triquetra, but nothing for the throughoutness of the chevron. As a general rule we grant a difference between an ordinary throughout and its non-throughout form. Chevrons are a bit of a special case, since "throughout" has a different meaning when applied to them, referring to the point touching the top of the shield rather than the ends. The distinction between chevrons and chevrons throughout is, in period heraldry, one of regional style or artistic preference. The same coat may be found depicted both ways. We would, however, grant difference between a chevron (whether "throughout" or not) and a chevron couped, i.e. with the ends cut off without touching the sides of the shield. This is identical to our practice with other ordinaries, such as fesses throughout vs fesses couped.

This conflicts with Alison Gray of Owlwood Per pale vert and sable, on a plate an owl affronty perched on a branch sable. There is a CD for the field, but the difference between owl affronty and dove issuant is basically just a posture difference and so not worth a CD in a tertiary charge

This is being returned for a redraw. The flowers are not identifiable as any type of flower. Furthermore, they are not truly in saltire or in pile, or in any other blazonable position.

This is being returned for a redraw. The semy does not look like fleur-de-lys or any other type of heraldic charge.

This conflicts with the already registered Elspeth nic Léighinn.

This conflicts with Sumer Redmaene Purpure, a centauress argent, crined gules, hooved and nippled Or, with a wreath of nasturtiums proper in her hair. There is one CD for fieldlessness, but nothing for the difference between the two types of sagittaries, nothing for the gender difference, and nothing for the crining.

This submission has two problems: it has the appearance of being impaled arms, prohibited by RfS XI.3., and it has two non-identical but insignificantly different charges, running afoul of the "Sword and Dagger" rule. RfS XI.3.a. notes that a submission can avoid the appearance of marshalling with "identical charges over the entire field." While a mermaid and a merman are very similar, they are not identical. The bordure by longstanding precedent is insufficient to remove this appearance. At least as long ago as 10/90 Laurel ruled "The appearance of marshalled arms here is overwhelming, even with the bordure as a cadency charge. The intent of the 'overall charge' requirement of XI.3.a is one of a charge lying in the center of the field, not a peripheral charge such as a chief or bordure (which were often used as cadency charges).

His proposed device Vert, a cross formy convexed Or within a stag's attires, a bordure raguly argent. was returned on the December 1998 LoAR for the undocumented form of his cross. At that time we said:

Since this is the same cross that was returned previously, we see no reason to overturn that ruling.

This conflicts with Teresa de Leon, one of the Queens of Spain and therefore important enough to protect.

This is being returned for a redraw. The bear is not clearly a bear, nor any other animal.

This submission suffers from the same problem which resulted in a return to Walram von Laufenberg (Fieldless) A flame gules, winged argent, surmounted by the blade of a sword proper. on the May 1998 LoAR. At that time we said:

We see no reason to overturn our ruling, and we are returning this for the same reason.

The LoI glossed Tara as the Anglicized form of Temair. Unfortunately, the statement was not correct. According to the LoAR of January 1994:

Based on this precedent we are returning the name.

The armory was registered under the holding name Debbie the Twin of Dartford.

According to the submitter, Ulrike is the feminine form of Ulrich. Unfortunately, no documentation could be found to support that usage in period. Furthermore, no documentation was presented for Retelsdorf. The LoI said that "[t]here is a town named Rettel found under Rettenbach on p. 392 of (Bahlow-Geographische). While there is a minor difference in the spelling, we consider the name Retelsdorf (Retels Village) plausible given the existence of a town of Rettel. Since no information was given for the derivation of Retels, we have no way of determining if the argument is valid.

This is being returned for lack of documentation on the byname. The armory was registered under the holding name Ælfstan of Calontir.

This is being returned for lack of documentation on the household name. Additionally, the LoI glossed it as meaning sacred or healing enclosure. No documentation was presented to show that follows our exemplars for household names.

This conflicts with Gilrae of Moorburn Azure, a fox-headed woman affronty statant, hands crossed at the waist, vested argent. with no countable differences.

This was an appeal of a return by Laurel in November 1996. The original return was because the order name was in the plural and a group name was attached, neither of which had period documentation.

They have provided documentation for the use of a group name in an order name, and for plural usage, but these both come from translations of order names from modern sources. This is not evidence that it was done in period. This is especially relevant in the case of the plural, since every exemplar used knights and no other word in the plural.

This is being returned for construction problems. Jocelyn is a distinctly English form and it does not seem to have migrated to Ireland so there is no Irish form parallel to it. Morgunn is Welsh and takes ferch not ni. Since she will not take major changes we are forced to return this, but the most logical and registerable form for this name would be Jocelyn Morgan.

This is being returned for incorrect construction. No documentation was presented for the form House Red, and no period analogies could be found. Possible models for household names include Scottish clans (Clan Stewart), ruling dynasties (House of Anjou), professional guilds (Baker's Guild of Augsburg, Worshipful Company of Coopers), military units (The White Company), and inns (House of the White Hart).

This conflicts with Cain Saethydd Sable, on a bend cotised argent, three arrows inverted sable. There is but the one CD for the changes to the tertiaries.

This is being returned for style. It is two steps removed from any attested period practice. The charge is essentially a lion’s head jessant-de-pomegranate. This is unattested, but not by itself cause for return. In considering the submission of Eudoxia d’Antioche with an owl’s head jessant-de-lys in March 1996 Laurel wrote "There was ... some concern that we here we are getting too far from period practice. (Period practice being leopard's head jessant-de-lys; one step from period practice being other beast's heads; and two steps from period practice being other types of heads, including birds' heads.) Given that we have in recent years a number of different types of heads (including humanoid) jessant of items other than a fleur-de-lys (including a complex cross), Laurel does not feel that this submission is so far from SCA practice as warrant a return on that ground." The second problem is that the pomegranate here is entirely on the lion’s head, not overlapping as does a true jessant treatment. This makes the submission two steps removed from period practice, which is cause for return.

This device, blazoned Per bend bendy azure and Or and azure, in base a cross crosslet argent. was registered to him under the name Hugh Montagud September, 1996.

This is being returned for violating our rules on slot machine with three different charges in the same group (the griffins, the sword and the harp). The held charges are large enough to be sustained and count for difference. However, since they are sustained, they become part of the charge group.

This is being returned for the fimbriation of the heart. RfS VIII.3. notes that "Voiding and fimbriation may only be used with simple geometric charges placed in the center of the design." While a heart is simple enough to fimbriate as a sole primary charge, as a tertiary it is so small as to lose identifiability when fimbriated.

This is being returned for a redraw. The swans are not clearly rousant or displayed nor in any other heraldic posture.

This is being returned for administrative reasons. We received no paperwork for this submission.

This is being returned for breaking our rule of two weirdnessess. The first is the fess embowed to base. While fesses were embowed in period armory, they were always embowed to chief, representing the curvature of the shield. The second is the use of the lightening bolts. While the lightning bolts were used in period armory, they were only used as part of a thunderbolt, and not as independent elements on their own.

This is being returned for administrative reasons. No mini emblazon was included on the LoI.

This is being returned for a redraw. The dogs are not really in annulo, and that if they are not in annulo they violate our ban on inverting animate charges.

This is in conflict with the Alyna Duchez Argent, a raven rising wings elevated and addorsed sable, beaked and membered gules, maintaining in its dexter claw a heart sable all within a bordure nebuly azure. We give no difference between wavy and nebuly, nor for maintained charges, so there is only one CD for position of the raven. It also conflicts Kathren of Sandesward Argent, a legless quail close to sinister regardant sable., with one CD for the addition of the bordure.

This is being returned for administrative reasons. No paperwork was received.

This is being returned for a redraw. The chief is far too thin, and the crosses, as drawn, are not clearly crosses, or any other identifiable charge.

Daniel is the legal son of Theo of Mightrinwood, who died in the last year. He used his position as executor of the estate to register his name. Normally we would not have registered it without a written statement of permission, since it violates our rules on presumption. However, since he is Theo's son and executor of the estate we permitted it. But, granting him the armory is a different case.

We already have a mechanism whereby armory can be inherited through the use of a heraldic will. But, in this case no heraldic will was submitted to the College of Arms. And, inheriting armory is different from presumption.

In the case of presumption, if Count Theo has a other children, they too could use his name in a similar fashion to the way Daniel has, but only one could use the undifferenced arms.

Furthermore, no proof was given, outside of a statement in the LoI, that Daniel is Theo's only heir, and executor of the estate. Given such documentation, we would consider transferring the armory to him. Absence such documentation, we would be willing to register armory to Daniel that was one CD away from Theo's.

This is being returned for a redraw. The rayons on the bordure are far too small and too close together, producing the classic "pinking shears" rayonny, which has been grounds for return for the last ten years.

This is being returned for lack of documentation of the byname. No documentation was presented and none could be found to justify it.

The only documentation for Gurk was as the name of a river, and no documentation was presented for using von with a river name. Since the submitter would not take a major change, we were forced to return the name and create a holding name.

The armory was registered under the holding name Günther Klör of the Citadel of the Southern Pass.

No name form was received so we are forced to return the name. Since there is no name, we are forced to return the armory as well.

This conflicts with Perygen Northynbr Sable, an otter (enhydra lutra) sejant regardant argent holding bendwise a felling-axe argent hilted proper. There is nothing for type between a marten and an otter. The maintained charges do not count for difference, leaving the only difference the one for fieldlessness.

This is being returned for the fimbriated crosses. According to RfS VIII.3 Voiding and fimbriation may only be used with simple geometric charges placed in the center of the design. The crosses are not in the center of the design.

No name form was received so we are forced to return the name. Since there is no name, we are forced to return the armory as well.

This is being returned for a redraw. The wavy is so faint to be almost unnoticeable. Additionally, both the drop spindle and the cup are drawn three dimensionally.

No name form was received so we are forced to return the name. Since there is no name, we are forced to return the armory as well. However, both the name and armory have serious problems that we feel obligated to mention to help the submitter when he resubmits.

The commentary on the problems with the name was done by Pennon who said:

The armory has two problems. First, no documentation was presented for the "tanit", or, per Meyer's Saracenic Heraldry, "figure 26", "the so-called target" as having been used in period armory. Since the charge has never been registered before, it requires this documentation. Secondly, a translation of the Arabic is required by Laurel precedent and the Administrative Handbook.

This conflicts with Ioseph of Locksley Vert, a tree eradicated argent., with one DC for the addition of the mullets, and nothing for throughoutness of a non-ordinary.

The letter had the mascles as pean.

The LoI has the stag's head as Or, not argent.

The LoI left out the argent, making the armory color on color.

The LoI had reversed the blazon.
