Nice armory!
Angus MacBain. Badge. (Fieldless) On a quatrefoil pean a lion rampant argent. Woodward (Plate XXIX) depicts a quatrefoil with a large internal space, allowing a quatrefoil to be charged without the charge being overall.

Juliana de Luna. Name and device. Gules, six crescents inverted two, two, and two checky argent and sable. A letter of correction contains an emblazon that depicted the crescents with a standard checky.
Richenda de Jardin. Name change from Deirdre Gilbride and device. Per pale azure and argent, a crequier counterchanged. Submitted as Richenda du Jardin, we have changed the preposition to match the example in Morlet's Dictionnaire etymologique des noms de famille under Jard.
Her old name and device, Per fess vert and sable, a mortar and pestle and a snake glissant argent, are released.
Roana d’Evreux. Name and device. Argent, a tree eradicated sable and a tierce purpure.
Roana d’Evreux. Badge. (Fieldless) A tree eradicated per pale purpure and sable.
Thomas Ouswood. Name and device. Vert, a lantern argent enflamed Or.
AN TIR
Brennan O Loughran. Name and device. Azure, two herons addorsed argent.
Elizabeth Braidwood. Badge. (Fieldless) A yale rampant Or. This is clear of Eldrid Tremayne, Per pale azure and gules, a goat clymant Or. There is one CD for the field, and there is a CD between a yale and a goat. Current evidence indicates that there is no period connection between a yale and a goat; rather, there seems to be a period connection between a yale and an antelope.
Etienne le Marchand. Name and device. Sable, a phoenix displayed head to sinister Or, in chief two crescents argent. Submitted as Etienne le marchand, we have changed the capitalization of the byname to match the submitted documentation.
Francesco Antonio da Firenze. Name and device. Azure, a peacock close contourny, on a chief wavy Or three fleurs-de-lys azure. Submitted as Francesco Antonio di Firenze, we have changed the preposition to match known period practice.
Geneviève de Clairvaux. Device. Sable, on a bend sinister between a lion rampant contourny and a fleur-de-lys Or three crescents azure.
Helevisa de Horsmonden. Name.
Johannes Fairhand. Name and badge (see RETURNS for device). (Fieldless) On a hand argent the letter “J” purpure.
Kjartan kráka. Name.
Léandre de Fravaux. Name.
Sofia Augusta da Livorno. Device. Per chevron engrailed Or and azure, two dolphins haurient respectant and a dragon segreant counterchanged. Please instruct the submitter to draw the per chevron line lower.
Stephen Schwarzpferd. Household name House Blackwolf.
ANSTEORRA
Ariane Lancaster. Name.
Armando de la Cabanna. Device. Sable, a double-bitted axe and on a chief Or a mullet of five greater and five lesser points sable.
Catalina Ana de Salamanca. Name and device. Argent, a wagon wheel azure, a bordure vert.
Dominique Michelle le Vasseur. Device. Argent, a peacock close contourny and a bordure invected purpure. This is clear of Helena of Heathcote, Argent, a heathcock passant to sinister within a bordure purpure. There is a CD for the change in the line of partition of the bordure, and as heathcocks and peacocks are both period charges and Helena's heathcock is both chicken-like in appearance and has the distinct upright tail, a second CD for the type of bird.
Donald of Lindenwood. Holding name and device (see RETURNS for name). Vert, three sheep statant argent. Nice armory! Submitted under the name Donald MacDonald
Elspeth de Forbeys. Name change from Isobel Margaret de Forbeys. Her old name is released.
Fathir von Trier. Name.
Ginevra Rodney. Device. Argent ermined vert, a wild ginger flower purpure. This is clear of Seamus a' Chnuic Ghuirm, Argent, a trillium inverted purpure barbed vert and seeded Or, as there is one CD for the field, and a second for the inversion of the flower. Three-petaled flowers have a distinct orientation, unlike flowers with more petals. This is also clear of Elspeth of Harilow, A heartsease proper [Viola tricolor], as there is one CD for the field and one for type of flower. As there is no evidence of heartseases being used in period, we must judge difference on visual grounds. A heartsease has both a different number and of petals and the petals are a different shape, therefore it is sufficiently different from a trillium.
Johann von Sternberg. Badge. Sable, in chevron five compass stars elongated palewise Or. To quote Clarion: "It is standard SCA and mundane practice to put charges 'in <ordinary>.'" Thus, this does not fall afoul of the ban against charges in arch, nor that forbidding constellations.
Jonathan Christian Clare. Name change from Christian Clare. While the submitter requested an authentic Elizabethan English name, the new name is in fact markedly less authentic than the already registered one.
His old name is released.
Josephus de Hudelesdun. Name. Submitted as Joseph Alfred Huddlestone, he requested an authentic 12th-13th century English name. We have therefore dropped the second given name, not attested that early, and changed the spelling of the given and byname to match documented examples.
Lowrens of Ross. Name.
Lucius Hadrianus. Name and device. Vert, on a pall argent three frogs heads to center vert.
Patricia of Blackmoor. Reblazon of device. Sable, a dexter hand aversant fesswise sustaining a gillyflower proper.
Reinne du Bois. Device. Sable, a sword bendwise between two suns in splendor, a bordure Or. Listed in the LoI as a registration for both a name and device, the name was already registered in February 2000.
Ricardo Esteban de Salamanca. Name and device. Per bend sinister sable and Or, a mullet of six points and a raven rising counterchanged. This is not in conflict with Muredach Dáil Riata, Per bend sinister sable and Or, an increscent and a raven counterchanged. There is a CD for changing the type of half the primary charge group and a separate CD for changing the posture of half the primary charge group.
Robert Moondragon. Name and device. Azure, on a saltire between four bears rampant Or a bear rampant azure. The submitter is the son of Tivar Moondragon, so he can use the byname under the Grandfather Clause.
Sara Penrose. Device. Or, a rose proper within an orle sable.
Tatiana Laski Krakowska. Name. Submitted as Tatiana Leski Krakowska, we have corrected the typo in the LoI.
Timothy of Glastinbury. Name and device. Azure billety argent. Nice armory!
ARTEMISIA
Ailionóra Elliott. Name. Submitted as Ailionóra ingean uí Elliott, she requested an authentic 12th century Irish name. We are, however, unable to make such changes. We could not find evidence of Elliot being used in a Gaelic context; we have, accordingly, dropped the Gaelic patronymic preposition. The name would be reasonably authentic in an entirely English spelling as Eleanor Elliot; however, she did not allow us to make such major changes.
Daibhidh MacRaibeirt. Device. Per pale sable and gules, in pale two natural dolphins reversed in annulo that in chief argent and that in base Or and two swords inverted in pile argent.
Eideard McCash. Device. Gules, an ox's head cabossed between three hands argent, a bordure potenty Or.
Geneviève Frei. Device. Gules, a fret and on a chief argent a domestic cat statant sable. Please instruct the submitter to draw the fret with ninety degree angles.
Ginevra Ferrea. Name and device. Per chevron vert and gules, three oak leaves bendwise sinister each fructed of an acorn and a badger's head cabossed Or marked sable.
Grimr inn feilan. Name. Submitted as Grimr inn Feilin, we have changed the byname to match the documentation in Geirr Bassi's The Old Norse Name.
Heather of Arn Hold. Name and device. Per saltire purpure and checky argent and purpure, in chief three bezants two and one and in base an abacus Or.
Jane of the Plains. Name.
Jehane Desquiens. Name and device. Azure, a dragon segreant and on a chief indented argent three dogs passant vert. Submitted as Jehane des Chiens, she requested an authentic name of unspecified language or time period. We have therefore changed the byname to a form given in Morlet's Étude d'Anthroponymie Picarde. Les noms de personne en Haute Picardie aux XIIIe, XIVe, XVe siècles.
Please instruct the submitter to draw the chief higher.
Kerri of Arn Hold. Name and device. Quarterly gules and sable, in saltire four fleurs-de-lys bases to center argent.
Magnús Slembidjákn. Name and badge (see RETURNS for device). (Fieldless) On a two handled tankard argent a boar passant gules.
Malleta MacKessock. Name and device. Argent, a bend sinister azure between a rose sable barbed and seeded proper and a natural panther rampant to sinister sable. Please instruct the submitter to draw the bend larger and the surrounding secondary charges smaller.
Matthias Gordon of Glen Devon. Name change from Matthias Gordon and device. Sable, in pale an equal-armed Celtic cross and a cauldron argent within an orle embattled on the outer edge Or. His old name is released.
Prospero the Merchant. Device. Sable, a man affronty, a chief rayonny Or. Please instruct the submitter to draw the chief larger and the rays slightly less deeply.
Séaghdha MacCulloch. Name.
Seamus MacAleer. Name and device. Argent masoned, a bull's head cabossed sable, a ford proper. Submitted as Seumus MacAleer, we have changed the given name to a documented period spelling. As he requested an authentic name we would have changed the name from the mixed Gaelic/Anglicized spelling to the entirely Anglizised James MacAleer; unfortunately, however, he did not allow us to change the language of a name element.
Sybyll de Warene. Name.
Þorkatla Bjarnardóttir. Name (see RETURNS for device). Submitted as Thorkatla Bjornsdóttir, we have changed the name to be grammatically correct. As she requested an authentic Norse name we have also changed the given name to a typical period spelling.
Uilliam MacAindriú. Name.
ATLANTIA
Alessandra Ruscello. Name and device. Per saltire azure and argent, a compass star elongated to base and a bordure counterchanged. Submitted on the LoI as Alessandra al Ruscello, we have changed the name to the form originally submitted.
Crois Brigte, Canton of. Branch name and device. Per bend sinister argent and gules, a Saint Brigid’s cross within a laurel wreath counterchanged. Submitted as Crois Bríde, we have changed the name to match such examples, in the Annals of Connacht, as Baili Tobair Brigte and Crois Dairi Cain.
Eoghan Òg Mac Labhrainn. Badge. Or, a yew tree eradicated, on a chief vert a mouth harp fesswise Or. This is clear of Ariel de Narbonne, Or, a willow tree couped and on a chief vert, three suns in splendor Or. There is a CD for change of type of the tree and another for change in number and type of the tertiaries.
Please instruct the submitter to draw fewer and smaller roots.
Étaín an Cenlis Mór. Name.
Gyßel von Sachsen. Name and device. Azure, a pegasus passant wings elevated and addorsed and a chief dovetailed argent.
Jenna Fairhaven. Name and device. Azure, a triple-towered castle and on a chief wavy argent three dragonflies purpure. Submitted on the LoI as Jeanna Fairhaven, we have changed the name to the form originally submitted.
Katharine Elyzabeth. Name.
Lara of Tir-y-Don. Holding name and device (see RETURNS for name). Argent, three mice couchant purpure. Submitted under the name Muirne inghean Séamus Ó Corcra. Please instruct the submitter to draw the mice larger.
Richard Grimm. Name and device. Quarterly argent and checky sable and argent, a heart gules pierced by a cup-hilted rapier bendwise sable.
Robert of Doncaster. Device. Per bend sinister azure and Or, a lion passant guardant and a bordure embattled counterchanged. Please instruct the submitter to make the bordure larger.
Roswitha of Suanesfeld. Device change. Sable, on a fess argent three swans rousant sable. Her current device, Argent, a swan rousant sable, a bordure dovetailed sable mullety argent, is released.
Nice armory!
Sorcha the Red. Name.
CAID
Aline le Fey. Badge for Hilderun zu dem Alpenwald. Ermine, on a pale raguly azure between two pine trees proper a sword argent.
Antonius Falconerius. Device. Per chevron inverted sable and argent, a falcon's head erased argent and three golpes.
Cai Hawkridge. Name.
Christiaen de Groote. Name. The LoI did not have an adequate summary of the documentation. A few months later we would have had to return this.
Connor Wulfric MacNeill. Name and device. Or, a bulldog's head cabossed gules and a ford proper.
Erna Ragnarsdóttir. Name. Submitted as Erna Ragnarsdottir, we have added the accent to conform with the submittted documentation.
Esmeralda of the Lakes. Name.
Henna of Redsand. Name and device. Argent, on a chief gules three ermine spots argent. Submitted as Henna of the Redsands, we have dropped the article as inappropriate for place names. We have also dropped the final s in the place name, based on the example of the modern place name Chicksands which has the documented period forms Chichesane, Chichesant, Chichesand, and Chikesant.
Húnthjófr froskr. Name. Submitted as Húnthjófr Froskr, we have changed the capitalization of the byname to match period practice.
Igor' L'vov. Device. Argent, a lion sable and a griffin purpure combattant.
Madawc Seumus Caradawg. Release of badge. Vert, a straight trumpet fracted in chevron Or.
Marina Kardielle. Name.
Muirghein Morrison. Name.
Nastasiia MacNeill. Name (see RETURNS for device and badge). There was sufficient contact between England and Russia to allow mixed names under our rules. There was no such contact between Scotland and Russia, but we have seen documentation that MacNeill appears as a surname in England as well. Note, however, that mixed Scots / Russian names are not acceptable, barring new evidence.
DRACHENWALD
Aarnimetsä, Barony of. Order name Hopeisen solmun ritarikunta and badge. Argent, on a bend cotised sable three Bowen knots palewise argent.
Château du Ciel, Shire of. Device. Azure, on a bend wavy argent between two roundels each within a laurel wreath Or three crescents azure.
Gilliam van Taetsrade. Name (see RETURNS for device).
Ulfr Raude. Device. Gyronny vert and Or, a wolf rampant, in chief three barrels palewise gules.
EALDORMERE
Aeneas Oakhammer. Device. Vert, on a bend argent a sheaf of arrows inverted sable, in sinister chief an oak sprig fesswise reversed fructed argent.
Balthazar l'Escallier. Name (see RETURNS for device).
Brendan of Dormansford. Name (see RETURNS for device).
Brianna Magennis. Badge. (Fieldless) An apple Or slipped and leaved vert crowned argent. This is clear of Adelicia Gilwell, An apple Or. There is a CD for fieldlessness. The crown on the apple is almost as large as the apple, thus its addition is worth a second CD.
Debbie of Ealdormere. Holding name and device (see PENDS for name). Purpure, a bend sinister between two falcons rising wings addorsed Or. Submitted under the name Sanchia of Ealdormere.
This is clear of Reynardine of the Glaive, Purpure, a bend sinister between two glaive heads addorsed Or; there is a CD for the type of secondaries, as well as a CD for orientation. (This CD is granted because both charges have the ability to be addorsed, and the falcons are not.)
Deborah Percehaie. Holding name and device (see RETURNS for name). Per fess azure and argent, a demi-sun issuant from chief Or and a pine tree eradicated proper. Submitted under the name Deporodh Percehaie
Ealdormere, Kingdom of. Award name Award of the Maidens Heart and badge. Quarterly azure and Or, a heart counterchanged. Submitted as Award of the Maiden's Heart, we have removed the apostrophe to conform to period practice.
Ealdormere, Kingdom of. Order name Order of Thorbjorns Hammer and badge. Gules, a Thor’s hammer within a bordure embattled argent. Submitted as Order of Thorbjorn's Hammer, we have removed the apostrophe to conform to period practice.
Estienne de Nantes. Name.
Grimaldo Giullietta. Name and device. Gules, a chevron inverted argent between a sword palewise Or hilted sable and three roses Or barbed vert. Submitted as Grimaldi Guillietta di Salvazzi, he requested an authentic 15th-16th century Italian name. The given name was in a form that would have been used as a patronymic byname; we have changed it to the proper form. In the middle name, which is really an unmarked metronymic byname, we have switched two letters to match period evidence. The last name we were unable to document at all, so we have dropped it.
Gylys of Ylis. Name and device. Gules, a falcon within an orle argent. Please instruct the submitter to draw the orle thicker.
Isotta Gianfigliazzi. Name.
Kenric Manning. Name and device. Lozengy azure and Or, a hand argent. This is clear of Patricia of Blackmoor, reblazoned elsewhere in this letter, Sable, a dexter hand aversant fesswise sustaining a gillyflower proper. Aside from the change in hand position, the gillyflower in Patricia's device is large enough to be a sustained charge.
Nice armory!
Percival de la Rocque. Device. Purpure, on a beer stein argent a bee purpure, a bordure embattled argent. Please instruct the submitter to draw the bordure larger and arrange the embattlements so they do not meet at the corners.
Rowena MacLachlan of Caithness. Name and device. Per pale purpure and azure, a pegasus segreant and in base three bars wavy argent. Submitted as Rowena MacLachian nee Caithness, we have changed the locative byname to a correct Anglicized form and corrected the typo in the surname.
Tatiiana Belosel’skaia. Name and device. Pean, a seahorse argent crined and finned Or, in chief three daisies proper.
LOCHAC
Benedick von Greifswald. Name.
Constanzia Moralez y de Zamora. Name.
Contarina la Bianca. Name.
Gabriel de Beaumont. Name.
Glyn d’Artois. Name and device. Per pale embattled sable and gules, in dexter chief a cross formy Or.
Lorcán Ó Fearghail. Name and device. Gules, on a pall argent three lion’s heads erased gules.
Lorcán Ó Fearghail. Badge. Argent, a lion’s head erased gules.
MERIDIES
Anabella of Newmarch. Name and device. Gules, on a plate a double rose proper, a bordure Or. Please instruct the submitter to make all charges larger.
Blaec le Dering. Name and device. Per bend sinister argent and azure, a sword between in fess two triquetras counterchanged.
Brenna inghean Fhionnlaoich. Name (see PENDS for device). Submitted as Brenna inghean Fionnlaoich, we have changed the byname to the correct genitive form.
Dara Armand. Device. Per saltire argent and azure, a shepherd's crook reversed proper entwined of a morning glory vine vert flowered gules.
Dionisia of Canterbury. Name.
Domhnall Ó Coileáin. Name. Submitted as Domhnall O' Coileain, we have corrected the accents in the byname.
Isabel de Bois. Name and device. Gules, on a bend between two acorns argent three ivy leaves inverted vert. The device was pended from the April, 2000, LoI, because the ivy leaves were incorrectly blazoned. The name was accidentally pended as well; we are registering it now.
Kara Ljotsdottir. Name change from Cera ingen Leoid and device. Per bend sinister azure and argent, a wolf statant ululant contourny argent and a bird displayed sable. The old name is released.
Michelina Ysabella la Toscana. Name and device. Sable, semy of hearts checky gules and argent, a bat-winged cat sejant Or. This device is on the edge of acceptability. Bruce Draconarius said:
[Semy of rams statant argent armed Or] The 1984 Rules for Submission did not permit semy charges to be fimbriated, proper, or of divided tinctures (IX.2). While that specific clause is not found in the current Rules, those usages remain poor style, and in extreme cases may be grounds for return under Rule VIII.3. The submitter would be well advised to use single-tinctured rams in her semy, when she resubmits [device returned for using a charged canton]. (Aurora Ashland of Woolhaven, January, 1993, pg. 25)
This device uses simple relatively geometric charges and the colors make them highly visible, therefore it is acceptable.
Rainillt Dering. Name and device. Per bend sinister argent and azure, a triquetra within a bordure counterchanged. Submitted as Rainillt le Dering, the byname could only be documented without the le so we have dropped it.
Please instruct the submitter to draw the triquetra thicker.
Rowan Mac Quillan. Device. Per chevron azure and vert, two decrescents and two increscents in chevron and a rowan tree argent.
Sorcha ingen Chonchobhair. Name (see RETURNS for device). Submitted as Sorcha O'Conchobhair, we have corrected the patronymic byname. Patronymics are used literally in Gaelic, so a feminine patronymic particle must be used with a feminine given name.
Thorgrim Ketilsson. Name (see RETURNS for device).
MIDDLE
Aidan of Aran. Name. Submitted as Aaron mac Áedáin, the LoI stated:
The client's first name submission (Aeron of Martlett's Lair) was returned by Rouge Scarpe on 2/98 and 1/99 for lack of documentation. The client's second name submission (Aidan of Aran) was returned by Rouge Scarpe on 1/00 for use of an implausible byname of Aran.
However, this last Kingdom-level return was incorrect. As Metron Ariston said,
Aidan is the usual English form of the Irish given name Áedán and was very familiar both in Ireland and in England for most of our period as the missionary Áedán was sent to Iona to proselytize in northern England and who founded the monastery at Lindisfarne (Ó Corráin and Maguire, Gaelic Personal Names, pp. 13—14). Aran is the English name of an island off the coast of Donegal as well as the collective name of a fairly famous group of fishing islands off Galway. As Room notes (Dictionary of Irish Place Names, p. 15) "The literal derivation of Aran is Irish ára, dative árainn, 'loin', 'kidney'. Here this means 'arched back', 'ridge'. The Aran Islands, Galway, have the same origin." In some sources, the Donegal island is known as "big Aran" or Aranmore (in its English form).
We are, accordingly, registering the name previously submitted but incorrectly returned in Kingdom.
Agnes Gaillard. Name (see PENDS for device). Submitted as Agnès de Gailliard, she requested an authentic 12th—14th century French name. We have therefore removed the unattested accent from the given name.
The LoI states the byname was taken from Château Gailliard. However, Galliard is documented as period either as a patronymic from the Old French given name Gaillart or as an attributive byname from Old French gaillard meaning brisk, gay, full of high spirits. One can't, therefore, simply drop out the château from the name Château Galliard. As the submitter cares most about the sound of the name we have changed the locative byname to a descriptive one instead; retaining the intended meaning would have resulted in Agnes de Château Gailliard.
Andelcrag, Barony of. Badge for the Order of the Salient Hart. (Fieldless) A hart courant azure. Nice badge!
Antoinette la Rouge d’Avignon. Badge. Azure semy of sparks Or, a lion’s head cabossed argent jessant-de-lys within a bordure embattled Or.
Arianwen Blaidd. Name.
Bebinn Dub. Badge. Or, a natural sea-turtle tergiant azure.
Bogdan de la Brasov. Name change from holding name Bogdan of Würm Wald.
Cainder ingen hui Chatharnaig. Name (see RETURNS for device).
Cainnech Rúad mac Guairi. Name and device. Azure, a lymphad argent and on a chief Or an otter passant gules. Submitted as Cainnech rúad mac Guairi, we have changed the capitalization of the byname to match documentary evidence.
Please instruct the submitter to draw the entire ship and not cut it off at the waterline.
Cassandra Felicia. Name (see RETURNS for device).
Caterina de Bruyn. Name (see RETURNS for device). Submitted on the LoI as Catharina de Bruyn, the given name was originally submitted as Caterina and changed because the Kingdom College of Heralds did not have evidence for sufficient contact between Venice and Flanders to allow the registration of mixed names. However, the Cultural Atlas of the Renaissance (p. 108) shows trade routes c. 1500 clearly linking Flanders and Venice, as well as numerous other points. That shows ample contact between Flanders and Venice, two of the major trading powers of the era. We have therefore changed the name back to the form originally submitted.
Despina de la Brasov. Name and device. Quarterly sable and azure, a dexter gauntlet fesswise sustaining two lightning bolts in saltire argent.
Fásach Mor, Canton of. Name and device. Per chevron vert and Or, a chevron between two laurel wreaths and an oak sprig counterchanged. The name was returned in July, 2000, for lack of a petition; however, the petition for the device included the petition for the name. Therefore we are registering the name now.
An examination of the emblazon makes it clear that oak sprigs are visually quite distinct from laurel wreaths (they being not wreath-like); so the device does not contain two highly similar but different charges.
Julio Galván. Name change from Giacomo da Firenze. His old name is released.
Lyon Havekin. Name and device. Vert, a chevron fracted, in base a paw print Or.
Matthäus Langermann. Name.
Meliora Blythe. Name (see PENDS for device).
Norborough, Marche of. Device. Or, a pavilion within a laurel wreath and on a chief vert three compass stars Or.
Sabyn de Lisieux. Name and device. Vert, an ounce rampant and in chief two crescents argent.
Simon Justus. Household name Capella Sancti Thomi et Sanctae Mariae Magdalenae. The argument was made in commentary that a chapel is a building, not a group of people, and that it should therefore not qualify as an alternative for household. However, the Oxford English Dictionary lists, among other meanings of the word Chapel,
7. A choir or body of singers attached to a chapel (usually of a king or prince); 'now extended to mean the choir or the orchestra, or both, of a church or chapel, or other musical establishment sacred or secular' (Grove Dict. Music). Often in French form chapelle, Ger. kapelle, or It. capella.
The earliest dated example given for this meaning of chapel is from 1420. This leads us to believe the term can be used for organized groups of people and thus as an alternative for household.
Thomas MacPaul the Younger. Device. Gules, a pall argent between a martlet and two mullets Or.
Uilliam Ó Seaghdha. Name and device. Sable, a fishhook inverted Or. Submitted as Uilliam Ó Seaghda, no documentation was presented on the LoI for the byname. Fortunately, Bordure was able to present documentation for Ó Seaghdha, so we have changed the byname to the documented form.
Please instruct the submitter to draw the fishhook so that the shaft is straight up and down.
OUTLANDS
Aéd mac Leòid of Carmichael. Name. Submitted as Aed-Leod Carmichael, the LoI cited Sharon Krossa's web site for support for the hyphen between the first two names. However, this was a misreading; as al-Jamal put it,
According to the website, "The use of the hyphens is also a conventional editorial addition, again by Kenneth Jackson, unused in the manuscript, where such names generally appeared as a single word." I don't see how that supports the use of the hyphen in the submitted name. Further, as it states in the article used as documentation, "There are no examples of anyone with two given names (i.e., with a 'middle' name). This is not surprising — double given names are almost unheard of in Europe until the very late middle ages/renaissance, and even then only in certain naming cultures. In Scotland, if there were any instances at all, they remain vanishingly rare until after 1600." In other words, the documentation used by the submitter appears no only to not support the form of the submission, but notes that there "are no examples" of this form.
On the other hand, Krossa does cite several names with two bynames. The form Aéd mac Leòid of Carmichael would thus be registerable, and we have changed the name accordingly. Note, however, that while the name is a possible period form with regard to having two bynames it is unattested in that it combines Gaelic and Anglicized orthography.
Albrecht Keller von Zürich. Name and device. Purpure, a fess bretessed, in chief an eagle displayed argent.
Artorius Greyhawk. Name.
Edmund Kilnwick of Lancashire. Name.
Frithuric Ulman. Name change from Frithuric Ullman. His old name is released.
Genevieve Fitzwalter. Name.
Griffin of the Black Hound. Name. Submitted on the LoI as Griffin Blackhound, the name was changed to that form in Kingdom. However, while that form is closer to actual period examples, the originally submitted form is registerable as well. Since the submitter did not request an authentic form we have changed the name back to the originally submitted one.
Griffin Porthor. Name change from holding name Richard of Wind Keep.
Órfhlaith ní Dhubháin. Device. Per bend sinister Or and sable, a horse’s head couped counterchanged gorged of a chaplet of shamrocks vert, an orle counterchanged.
Richard Ó Conchobhair. Name (see RETURNS for device).
Rivka Vladimirovna Rivkina. Device change. Per pall Or, vert, and sable. Her current device, Per pall sable, vert and Or, is released.
Tam Grimm. Name. Submitted on the LoI as Tom MacGrimm, the name was changed to that form in Kingdom; it was originally submitted as Tam MacGrimm. However, Reaney and Wilson's Dictionary of English Surnames has "Peter Tamelyn 1327 SRsf. A double diminutive of Tam (Tom). cf. Tomlin." and "William Tamson 1395 EA (OS) iv (C); Walter Tampson 1641 PrSo; John Tampson 1642 PrD. 'Son of Tam', a variant of Tom, a pet-form of Thomas." Therefore Tam appears to be an acceptable given name. However, there is no documentation for adding mac to the documentable Grimm. We have therefore changed the given name back to the original form and removed mac from the byname.
TRIMARIS
Alexander McBain. Device. Sable, a maunche erminois within a bordure countercompony Or and sable.
Constance de Barfleur. Device. Per bend sinister Or and vert, a fret couped and a mullet of nine points counterchanged.
Eleyn Pecke. Device. Per saltire vert and argent all semy of rabbits couchant contourny counterchanged.
Giovanni Argento Coniglio. Name. Submitted as Giovanni Argentio Coniglio, the documentation for Argentio cited Fucilla's Our Italian Surnames. However, Fucilla has Argento, not Argentio. We have therefore changed the second given name to the documented spelling.
Kaine Ashburne. Device. Per chevron gules and sable, two Latin crosses clechy and a phoenix Or rising from flames proper, a bordure Or. Please instruct the submitter to draw the crosses with more pronounced ends.
Khadijah bint Mika'il al-Zarqah. Name. Submitted as Khadijah bint Mika'il al-Zarqa, it combines two different forms of transliteration. We have changed the spelling of the byname to make the entire name consistent.
Beatrix van der See. Holding name and device (see RETURNS for name). Per fess wavy vert and barry wavy argent and azure, in chief three tulips Or. Submitted under the name Mefrouwe Beatrix op den See. Please instruct the submitter that the examples we found of tulip petals were more rounded on the top.
Octavio de Flores. Name (see RETURNS for device). Submitted as Ocatvio de Flores, we have corrected the typo in the given name and changed the name back to the originally submitted form.
Protais of Verona. Name and device. Bendy sinister indented sable and Or, a rabbit salient contourny and on a chief argent three Stars of David vert. Submitted as Proteus of Verona, the only documentation for Proteus was of the Greek Sea-God. Since there was no documentation for the name as a name of a human being, it cannot be used as an SCA name. We have therefore changed it to Protais, a name closely resembling the submitted name. Protais is found in Dauzat's Dictionnnaire Etymologique des noms de famille et des prenoms de France as a form of Protasius, the name of a 1st century Saint and a 6th century French bishop.
Rhiannon Bjornsdottir. Badge. (Fieldless) A gittern gules.
WEST
Belascuza de Errea. Name and device. Gules, a unicorn's horn between flaunches argent.
Bryne McClellan. Name (see RETURNS for device).
Clare ingen Neill. Name and device. Vert, six suns and a bordure Or. Submitted as Clár ingen Neill, the only documentation presented for Clár came from Coglan et al, The Book of Irish Names, which is an unreliable source and specifically listed in the Administrative Handbook as a book to avoid. Since no documentation was presented or found for the submitted spelling of the given name, we have changed it to the documentable Clare.
Clare Elena of Strathclyde. Device. Or, a horse rampant gules, a chief embattled sable.
Edward atte Flynt. Device. Chevronelly Or and azure, three wolves heads erased gules.
Edward de Lyons. Name and device. Or, a lion's head cabossed between three fleurs-de-lys, a bordure embattled sable.
Encinal, Shire of. Device change. Sable, a squirrel sejant erect within a laurel wreath, on a chief Or three acorns sable. Their current device, Argent, a laurel wreath vert and a chief vair, is released.
Gabrán of Battle Rock. Name. Submitted as Gabrén of Battle Rock, we have changed the spelling of the given name to match the submitted documentation.
Ginevra da Ravenna. Name.
Joorkin Volz. Name. Submitted as Joorkin zu Voltz, the byname derived from a misunderstanding of Brechenmacher's Etümologisches Wörterbuch der Deutschen Familiennamen. While Brechenmacher does say "zu Volz s.d. 1435 Volmarlin Voltzer, zu Rangendingen (Hechingen)", the zu there means that the header is derived from Voltz, and does not belong with the name. Voltz is a patronymic, not a place name. We have therefore dropped the inappropriate zu.
Kjarvalr Sonason the Stout. Name and device. Argent, a pall purpure between three mullets of four points sable.
Klaus the Red. Name.
Lillian Browne of Brittany. Name.
Moira Lindsay. Name.
Solange de la Forteresse. Device. Sable, in pale a sun in its splendor and a lion dormant, a bordure wavy Or.
Taran the Pict. Name and device. Per bend sinister gules and vert, a bend sinister between an anvil and a tower argent.
Tarlach o’ the Wode. Device. Argent, a stag lodged guardant and a chief gules.
THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN RETURNED FOR FURTHER WORK
ÆTHELMEARC
Duncan MacAngus. Name. This is in conflict with Donnchadh MacAonghais, registered in February 1995. His device has been registered under the holding name Duncan of Stormsport.
AN TIR
Avacal, Principality of. Order name Award of the Little Griffin. No evidence was provided that this name would conform to period patterns of order names. As the College could not find such evidence either, we have to return this.
Johannes Fairhand. Device. Purpure, a hand argent. Conflict with Kenric Manning, registered this month from Ealdormere, Lozengy azure and Or, a hand apaumy argent; there is only one CD for the change of field. As Kenric is a member of the Society and the Ealdormere letter had an earlier date, Kenric's device takes precedence over this one.
ANSTEORRA
Donald MacDonald. Name. We are not entirely sure the present-day authors Donald MacDonald, Donald F. MacDonald and Donald L. MacDonald, cited in commentary, are important enough to protect. Da'ud ibn Auda wrote, in the March 1992 LoAR on a case of a conflict against a modern author: His name is apparently too recent to appear yet in any of our standard sources, but he is clearly well known enough to warrant protection. (Even Lord Laurel who has read none of his works, is familiar with all the titles mentioned by the commenters.) We are not confident that any of the cited authors are that well known. It doesn't matter, however, since the name is also in aural conflict with Ronald MacDonald of hamburger fame, who is well known enough to protect.
The device was registered under the holding name Donald of Lindenwood.
ARTEMISIA
Aislynn the Wanderer. Device. Per pale purpure and sable, a dragonfly Or. Conflict with Maol Anna de Chassant, Per fess sable and gules, a dragonfly Or. There is only one CD for the changes to the field.
Caointiarn Comhthaistealaí. Badge. (Fieldless) A lion couchant guardant argent. Conflict with Ellen of Caer Seiont, Pean, a domestic cat dormant guardant argent, Kareina Talvi Tytar, Azure, vetû, a long-haired domestic cat dormant argent, and James Winter of White Forest, Per fess sable and ermine, in chief a lion dormant argent. As there is not a CD between dormant and couchant, and there is no CD for position on the field against a fieldless badge, in all cases there is only a single CD for the change in the field.
Colin Tyndall de ffrayser. Badge. Quarterly sable and gules, all semy of fraises Or. Conflict with Micheline Elphinstone, Azure, six roses, two, two and two, Or. There is not a CD for number of primary charges, nor is there one for arrangement. As a fraise is essentially a cinquefoil, by precedent there is also not a CD for type of primary charge. Therefore there is only one CD for the change to the field.
Colin Tyndall de ffrayser. Badge. (Fieldless) A dragon sable, crowned Or and sustaining a banner quarterly sable and gules, seme of fraises Or. Conflict with Micheline Elphinstone, Azure, six roses, two, two and two, Or As we do not allow a depiction of heraldic display which conflicts with registered armory, this must be returned.
Iain MacConmhaoil. Device. Per pall inverted sable, azure, and argent, in base a hammer and an axe crossed in saltire sable. The line of division is sufficiently high that this is not per pall inverted, but appears to be some unblazonable variety of chief. Thus we must return it for redrawing.
Magnús Slembidjákn. Device. Gules, a phoenix argent rising from flames proper, in chief a compass rose Or. The flames are not proper (alternating tongues of Or and gules), but are rather "On a flame Or another gules." This form cannot be blazoned as part of a phoenix, and therefore must be returned for a redraw.
Mary Amanda. Name and device. Argent semy of rosebuds gules slipped and leaved vert, a harp sable. The submission consists of the given names, in order, of the submitter. As this is one of the possible common use names, we have to return this submission for conflict against the submitter herself, protected under section III.A.9 of the Administrative Handbook.
While blazoned as garden roses an examination of the emblazon shows them to be rosebuds. Rosebuds have not been registerable as charges since November 1994.
Þorkatla Bjarnardóttir. Device. Argent, between a gore dexter and a gore sinister a seeblatt sable. Conflict with Cinzia del Lupo, Argent, a heart fracted palewise sable. By current precedent there is not a CD between a heart and a seeblatt, nor is there a CD for fracting a charge. Therefore there is a single CD for adding the gores (which are peripheral charges).
Yin Mei Li. Device. Per bend sinister argent and azure, an octofoil within eight octofoils in annulo counterchanged. Size is not the only thing that determines a primary charge. We were unable to devise a way to describe arrangement of the charges in a way that did not imply that they were a primary charge surrounded by a secondary group. Such arrangements cannot use the same type of charge. The problem could be solved by arranging them in a diamond (1,2,3,2, and 1) or in a square (3,3, and 3).
ATLANTIA
Dunstan le Heryngmongere. Device. Azure, two fish haurient embowed respectant, a bordure engrailed Or. The fish are drawn in a modern style, appearing cartoonish. Fish heads are not separate from their body and do not have exaggerated faces.
Muirne inghean Séamus Ó Corcra. Name and device. Argent, three mice couchant purpure. Unfortunately, Ó Corráin and Maguire, Irish Names, only cite Muirne as the mother of Finn mac Cumaill — who, as they note under Finn, was really a Celtic god. The submitter might consider Muirenn instead; Ó Corráin and Maguire say it "was an extremely popular name in the early period". The patronymic byname needs to be in the genitive case, which would usually also make it lenited: inghean Shéamuis.
The device was registered under the holding name Lara of Tir-y-Don
CAID
Nastasiia MacNeill. Device. Quarterly purpure and gules, a unicorn's head couped contourny argent armed and crined Or. Conflict with Rachel von Baeker, Bendy sinister of eight azure and Or, a unicorn's head erased to sinister argent, its horn enfiled of a chaplet palewise of clove pinks slipped and leaved proper. [Dianthus caryophullus], and the badge for Kathryn Fitzroy of Bath, Sable, a unicorn's head couped reversed argent, entwined about the alicorne a serpent, head to sinister, gules. An examination of the emblazons shows that both the chaplet and the serpent are too small to be significant, therefore in both cases there is only a single CD for the change to the field.
Nastasiia MacNeill. Badge. (Fieldless) A unicorn's head to sinister argent armed and crined Or. Conflict with Rachel von Baeker, Bendy sinister of eight azure and Or, a unicorn's head erased to sinister argent, its horn enfiled of a chaplet palewise of clove pinks slipped and leaved proper. [Dianthus caryophullus], and the badge for Kathryn Fitzroy of Bath, Sable, a unicorn's head couped reversed argent, entwined about the alicorne a serpent, head to sinister, gules. An examination of the emblazons shows that both the chaplet and the serpent are too small to be significant, therefore in both cases there is only a single CD for fieldlessness.
DRACHENWALD
Gilliam van Taetsrade. Device. Gules, on a bend sinister between six spearheads argent a sagebrush branch proper. Conflict with the arms of Lebanon, Gules, on a bend sinister argent a cedar tree palewise proper. There is a CD for adding the secondary charges, but by current precedent, a branch is not substantially different from a tree. Furthermore the spearheads are not recognizable; most commenters said they looked like triangles rather than weapon heads.
EALDORMERE
Balthazar l’Escallier. Device. Vert, a bend cotised between two acorns argent. No forms were sent to Laurel.
Brendan of Dormansford. Device. Gyronny sable and purpure, an eagle displayed argent and in chief three estoiles Or. The device violated RfS VIII.2.b(iv) "Contrast Requirements — Elements evenly divided into multiple parts of two different tinctures must have good contrast between their parts." A gyronny field must have good contrast between its parts.
Deporodh Percehaie. Name. No hard evidence was given that Deporodh was indeed used as a given name in period, either by the submitter or the College.
Her device has been registered under the holding name Deborah Percehaie.
Gunnar de Blacwode. Device. Gyronny sable and gules, on a cinquefoil argent a castle sable. The device violated RfS VIII.2.b(iv) "Contrast Requirements — Elements evenly divided into multiple parts of two different tinctures must have good contrast between their parts." A gyronny field must have good contrast between its parts. Furthermore, as drawn, the cinquefoil is unrecognizable.
Owlhaven, Shire of. Device. Argent, a laurel wreath sustained by a wyvern's jambe vert issuant from a ford proper. There was no petition supplied with the re-submission.
Tarkatal of Ben Dunfirth. Name (see PENDED for device). No copies were provided of the documentation for the given name, either in this spelling or Tarkatai, as it appears on the forms. As the KWHS Proceedings are not on the no photocopies list, and as none of the commenters verified the quote, we have to return it.
Thyra Thorkillsdattir. Device. Gyronny arrondy vert and Or. Conflict with Ottar Hrafnsson, Gyronny arrondy Or and azure, and the arms of Campbell, Duke of Argyll (real-world armory), Gyronny Or and sable. In both cases there is only one CD for changing half the tinctures of the field; against Campbell, there is not a CD for the difference between a plain gyronny line and gyronny arrondy.
LOCHAC
Salaberge de Granson. Device. Or, a salamander couchant reguardant azure and a chief rayonny gules. The device needs to be redrawn. While the submitter showed evidence that the shape of the salamander matches some period examples, all of the provided evidence had more flames, either issuant from the body of salamander (including issuant from the mouth), or on a field semy of flames.
The name was submitted on the January 1 LoI, which will be considered in November, 2000.
MERIDIES
Michael of the Mace. Badge. (Fieldless) An Oriental dragon tergiant head facing sinister sable. The badge uses the restricted charge a five-toed Oriental dragon. The charge cannot be used in the Society because it was used only by Emperors of China.
Paraskova Chemislava. Device change. Azure chapé ployé ermine, a fox sejant dexter forepaw elevated argent. Conflict with Asne Whitewolf, registered April 2000, A wolf sejant argent. There is only one CD for fieldlessness.
Sorcha ingen Chonchobhair. Device. Azure, on a pile raguly Or a thistle proper, in base an estoile Or. A pile should extend most if not all the way to the base; properly drawn, there would not be enough room for a charge ... to fit between the pile and the base. [Baldwin of Erebor, LoAR 6 December 1984, p.18] The precedent has continued to hold ever since.
Thorgrim Ketilsson. Device. Or, a sun sable within a bordure gules. Conflict with the Ensign of Ansteorra, Or, a mullet of five greater and five lesser points within a bordure sable. By current precedent there is not a CD between a sun and a mullet of ten points, so there is only a single CD for changing the tincture of the bordure. The device is also in conflict with the badge for the King's Champion of Ansteorra, Or, a mullet of five greater and five lesser points sable, a base embattled gules. There is only a single CD for changing the base to a bordure.
MIDDLE
Cainder ingen hui Chatharnaig. Device. Per chevron argent and sable, two hazel springs and an owl counterchanged. The hazel sprigs are unidentifiable as drawn.
Cassandra Felicia. Device. Azure, two sheep passant respectant reguardant, on a chief argent a shepherd’s staff reversed proper. The sheep are neither guardant nor reguardant but somewhere between the two.
Catharina de Bruyn. Device. Argent chapé, a tulip purpure slipped and leaved vert. Conflict with Dai of the Tulips, Argent, a tulip gules slipped and leaved vert. Tulips are like thistles, the slipping and leaving of a tulip makes up more than half the charge; therefore, it is the tincture of the slips and leaves rather than the tincture of the flower that is used when checking conflict. Because the plant portion of the tulip is more significant than the flower, there is not a CD for changing its tincture. Therefore there is only a single CD for the field.
Fearann na Crìche, Canton of. Device. Azure, an oak tree eradicated argent between three laurel wreaths Or. The petition did not include any description of the device.
Katheryn MacThomas of Ireland. Device. Azure, on a cross nowy quadrate argent a trefoil vert. Conflict with Klement St. Christoph, Azure, on a cross nowy cotised argent, a trefoil slipped vert and Owen Blakshepe, Azure, on a cross nowy argent a ram statant sable. In the first case, there is but a single CD for the cotising; in the second, there is but a single CD for change in type and color of the tertiary. There is no CD for the change between a cross nowy and a cross nowy quadrate, as the overall visual impact is quite similar, and there is no evidence indicating that the treatments were considered distinct in period.
Vilku Urvas, Shire of. Branch name. We have traditionally been somewhat more lenient with names from cultures for which we don't have adequate reference works, and we see no reason to change this policy. However, it does not mean that one can in such cases simply look up random words in a dictionary. At the very least we would expect the submitters to show, first, that the name is grammatically correct and, second, that similar constructions exist somewhere else. These examples of similar names would ideally be from nearby cultures.
OUTLANDS
Plattefordham, Shire of. Badge. A crozier head reversed and conjoined within an annulet gules. This is not a crozier head nor the head of a shepherd's crook. As we could find no way to describe the charge, it must be returned.
Richard Ó Conchobhair. Device. Lozengy sable and Or, a bear rampant argent maintaining a banner per fess azure and gules. No forms were sent to Laurel; however, based on the mini-emblazon, it appears that the banner, blazoned on the letter of intent as sustained, is maintained and thus not worth difference. Therefore the device is in conflict with Lachlan Bradoc, Per pale gules and vert, a bear rampant guardant argent. There is only one CD for changing the field.
TRIMARIS
Mefrouwe Beatrix op den See. Name. There are several problems with this name. First, Mefrouwe is a form of address that literally means 'My Lady' — it is therefore inappropriate in an SCA name. Further, op den See does not mean 'from the Sea' but 'at sea', in the sense of being afloat . The appropriate form of the lake would be van der See. We would have corrected these problems and changed the name to Beatrix van der See, but as she does not allow us to drop name elements we have to return this.
Her device has been registered under the holding name Beatrix van der See.
Octavio de Flores. Device. Argent, eight garden rosebuds conjoined in escarbuncle slipped and leaved proper. Garden rosebuds have been banned since November 1994, barring evidence of their use in period. If drawn with heraldic (or standard garden) roses, the device conflicts with Judith the Rose, Argent, a rose gules slipped and leaved proper. There would be only a single CD for the number of roses.
WEST
Briget MacLeod. Device. Per pall inverted gules, argent, and sable, in base a Norse sun cross Or. The Norse sun cross is also the symbol for Earth, and by precedent symbols cannot be registered as the sole charge. This ruling was applied to Norse sun crosses in April 1994 (pg. 15, s.n. Barony of Bonwicke).
Bryne McClellan. Device. Argent, a double rose proper within a wreath of thorns sable a bordure vert. Conflict with Adelaide de Beaumont, Argent, a pimpernel gules, slipped and leaved, within a bordure vert; there is only a CD for the addition of the wreath of thorns. There is no CD for the difference between a pimpernel and a rose (even a double rose), and there is no CD for removing the slipping of a rose-like flower.
Elina of Beckenham. Device. Gules, a griffin segreant queue-forché Or, perched on its dexter claw a raven displayed sable, maintaining in sinister claw a rose Or slipped and leaved vert. While the submitter has permission to conflict with Hugh the Undecided, Gules, two griffins segreant addorsed Or, Kiera Loch Beldragon, Gules, a griffin segreant maintaining a harp Or, a chief urdy erminois, Morgan ap Siarl, Gules, a griffin segreant ermine maintaining in its dexter foreclaw a cross of four lozenges Or, and the badge for Nerissa Meraud de la Fontaine, Gules, a griffin passant to sinister bearing in its sinister talon a goblet Or, the device is still in conflict with Degary Golafre of Pembroke, reblazoned in July 2000, Quarterly sable and gules, a griffin segreant coward maintaining in its dexter talon a Celtic cross and in its sinister talon a sword inverted Or and Gavin Flandre, Gules, a griffin segreant checky argent and azure. Against Degary, there is only a single CD for the change to the field. Against Gavin, there is only a single CD for the change to the tincture of the griffin. In addition, it may conflict with registered armory that uses a hippogriff as the primary charge.
THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN PENDED UNTIL THE APRIL 2001 LAUREL MEETING
ARTEMISIA
One Thousand Eyes, Barony of. Badge for the Order of the Iron Talon. (Fieldless) A talon erect sable maintaining an orb argent overall in saltire two swords inverted proper. No tincture was given for the swords.
EALDORMERE
Sanchia of Ealdormere. Name. The documentation for the given name was not properly summarized in the LoI. We are therefore pending this item to give the College a chance to look at the documentation.
Withycombe, sub Sanchia, notes the name was introduced to England in 1243 by the marriage of Richard, Earl of Cornwall, to Sanchia, daughter of the Count of Provence. The name appears for the next four centuries in various spellings.
The device was registered under the holding name Debbie of Ealdormere.
Tarkatal of Ben Dunfirth. Device (see RETURNS for name). Or, a bearded man's head cabossed sable within a bordure sable semy of cups Or. The tincture of the cups was missing.
MERIDIES
Brenna inghean Fhionnlaoich. Device. Per fess sable and Or semy of shamrocks vert, on a sun Or a decrescent sable. Examination of the full-size emblazon made it clear that the crescent is on the sun, not slightly overall; however, the tincture of the sun was omitted.
MIDDLE
Agnes Gaillard. Device. Azure, a cross patonce argent within a bordure argent mullety vert. The tincture of the bordure was omitted.
Meliora Blythe. Device. Argent, a unicorn salient reguardant, on a chief sable two oak leaves argent. The tinctures of the unicorn and chief were omitted.
