The name was submitted as Andrew Grey of Blackheath, but he requested an authentic form for 1405 England. The spelling Blakehethe seems to be the typical form for around 1400; Blakeheath is plausible, if less likely.

Current precedent is to accept the names of significant characters from period Arthurian literature as there is a pattern of such names being used in England and France in period.

The fess in this submission resembles the fess used by her husband Gavin MacFergus in his device. At that time his device was registered he was told that the fess should have a least three embrasures. A number of commenters felt that as this device has the same artistic problem as the previous submission, a simple instruction to redraw will be insufficient and the device should be returned. However, because we registered the fess for her husband, we feel obligated to register it for her under the Grandfather clause.

Her current device, Vert, on a bend sinister between a dragon rampant contourny and another rampant, each maintaining a lyre Or, a rose vine vert flowered gules, is to be retained as a badge and associated with her alternate persona name, Brian Michael of the Valley.

I believe that in period some allowance was made in drawing a blazoned cant (although admittedly probably not this much). In this case, preserving the cant takes precedence over the exact details of the drawing. The submitter should be told, however, to make the charge on the sun more osprey-like and less eagle-like.

Nice armory! Her current device, Azure, on a bend wavy argent between two butterflies Or three roses purpure, is released.

The name was submitted as Kateřina of the Bright Hills. The barony’s name, however, was registered without the article, so it should not be used here either.

Looking at the enlarged blazon, we determine that, while this is not period armory, it is sufficiently recognizable to be registerable. Note that, as of this meeting, we are declaring the non-medieval field treatment of honeycombing to be a "weirdness."

Her current device, Per pale vert and argent, three birds migrant counterchanged, is released.

Submitted as Tanglust verch Ednyfed wraig Brychan, according to Harpy, Welsh names did not include more than one direct relationship in a name. Tanglust verch Ednyfed would be the more typical form, but, based on the relationships she is trying to indicate, we believe she would prefer the above form.

Her former device Argent, a hawk rising, wings addorsed and inverted, sable, issuant from sinister three wolves’ teeth gules., is hereby retained as a badge.

While this is registerable as submitted, please let the submitter know that Cailte is a masculine name, and that it is Gaelic, not Scottish.

Ciaran mac Cormaig is the standard modern form of the name.

Submitted as Gerhardt Drachenmacher, the name was returned on the May 1999 LoAR.

This is being returned for having charges overlying a low contrast field with a complex line of division. An exception to this rule is only made when the overlap is very small, but that is not the case here.

Conflict with Leslie the Brown, Vert, on a bend sinister argent a Hermit Thrush close proper (Hylocichla guttata). There is only a single CD for the changes to the tertiaries.

The submitter should be informed that the crosses following the line of the bend sinister would be more authentic.

This is being returned for having charges overlying a low contrast field with a complex line of division. The axe itself is not the problem; its overlap is minor enough to maintain identifiability. With the estoile in chief, however, the line of division becomes fatally obscured.

Conflict with Monaco (important non-SCA arms), Lozengy argent and gules, and the Dukes of Teck (also important non-SCA arms), Lozengy bendwise sable and Or. There is no difference given between lozengy and lozengy bendwise.

Conflict with Frederic of the West Tower, Argent, a tower sable, on its base a cross patonce voided argent. Upon examining the emblazon for Frederic, it is clear that the cross is argent, so there is only the CD for fieldlessness.

No translation was including for the Arabic words. Without evidence of what the phrase means, this cannot be registered.

While the LoI blazoned the sprig as bendwise sinister, it is actually midway between that and palewise. Since we grant a difference for this, this problem is cause for return. Additionally this conflicts with Wulf Beornsson Or, a sprig of three poison ivy leaves inverted vert within a bordure sable., with one CD for type of the two sprigs.

This is being returned for a redraw. The arrow needs to be drawn with large fletching and point and the pawprint needs to be clearly drawn either palewise or bendwise, not halfway between the two as it is now.
