{AE}THELMEARC Ailion{o'}ra inghean Fhiachrach. Name. Catelin Parry the Patient. Name change from Catelin the Patient. Her former name is released. Christopher Harper. Name and device. Per bend sinister sable and vert, a duck naiant argent and a harp Or. Edmund Lambert of Tregelles. Device. Vert, a pretzel Or. This is clear of Beornheard of Wearmouth, Vert, a triquetra Or. After comparing emblazons, we decided that there is substantial difference between a triquetra and a pretzel. This is also clear of Stafford (important non-SCA badge), (Tinctureless) A Stafford knot. There is one CD for the fieldlessness of the tinctureless badge, and after consideration, we feel that there is significant, although not substantial, difference between a Stafford knot and this depiction of a pretzel, as the pretzel is knotted differently from a Stafford knot. Geirn{y'} Thorgr{i'}msd{o'}ttir. Name change from Aralyn Ermintrude of the Falling Waters. Submitted on the LoI as Geirn{y'} Thorgrimsdottir, the accents were omitted from the byname by mistake. Accents should be either displayed throughout or dropped throughout, so we have changed the name back to the originally submitted form. Her former name is released. Ingir{i'}dr Hikri Fridriksd{o'}ttir. Device. Or, a sea unicorn erect contourny and in chief four escallops purpure. Kaithren Rowand. Device. Gules, a griffin passant argent between three fleurs-de-lys Or. Nice armory! Kirstyn von Tobel. Name and device. Argent, a unicorn passant contourny purpure armed and crined sable. Miriam Meggett. Badge. (Fieldless) A pitcher argent. Odette d'Arques. Name. Skalla-Valgar{dh}r Gunnarsson. Name change from Konrad von Buren. Submitted as Valgardr Skalli Gunnarsson, he requested an authentic 10th century Norse name. We have therefore changed the order of the descriptive byname and the given name, as well as corrected the typo on the LoI by changing the d in the given name back to to a {dh}. His former name is released. Theresa the Short. Holding name and device (see RETURNS for name). Purpure, a dragon couchant argent, on a chief barry wavy vert and argent three bees purpure. Submitted under the name Sueva the Short. AN TIR Aethelred of Andredesleage. Device. Vert, three stag's massacres each within an annulet of chain Or. Aethelred is a Knight of the Society. Antoinette Leblanc. Name and device. Or, two piles in point gules, on a chief purpure three fleurs-de-lys Or. Antoinette Leblanc. Badge. Or, a fleur-de-lys purpure within a bordure gules. Antoinette Leblanc. Badge. Or, in saltire a bow reversed and an arrow inverted purpure, a bordure gules. Arthur Greene of Deerhurst. Name. Submitted as Arthur of Deerhurst Greene, he requested an authentic 14th century name. He also documented Deerhurst and Greene as separate name elements, so we assume he intended them that way. We have therefore changed their order to match the practice of the desired period. {A'}sa Starrad{o'}ttir. Name. Edric of Hamsteleie. Name and device. Gules, a pall sable fimbriated between three sets of three annulets interlaced two and one Or. Galen atte Blakstarre. Name and device. Or, a unicorn courant gules and in chief three mullets of eight points, a bordure sable. Ian MacHenrik. Device. Vert, on a pile Or an arrow sable flighted vert. Juliana de Saint Denys. Name. Magnus von Bremen. Name. Melody of An Tir. Holding name and device (see RETURNS for name). Argent, a lotus blossom in profile within a bordure nebuly purpure. Submitted under the name Mu-Man Dkon-Mch{o-}g N{a:}m. Muirinn nic She{a'}in. Device. Per pale wavy purpure and argent, a castle and a cat sejant counterchanged. Seachnasach O Braon{a'}in. Device. Per chevron azure and vert, a chevron between two winged dogs sejant respectant each with a forepaw raised argent and a goblet Or. Tvorimir Danilov. Name. {U'}lfgeirr hjartar bani. Name and device. Per bend sinister sable and azure, a wolf rampant reguardant contourny and a wolf rampant reguardant argent, an orle ermine. Ulric Morgan. Device. Sable, on a bend sinister gules fimbriated between two mullets of four points three mullets of four points palewise Or. ANSTEORRA Alistair of Avalon. Device. Azure, a bear's head cabossed within a mascle of four needles Or. Almaith ingen Chormaic. Device. Azure, a schnecke issuant from dexter base argent. The device is clear of Genevi{'e}ve du Puits, Azure, a wave reversed argent and in chief a sun sable, fimbriated argent. There is a CD for the addition of the secondary charge and one for the location of the schneke vs. the wave. A schneke is not a peripheral charge: even though it issues from the side of the field, it still fills the center of the field. Therefore, this is also clear of the badge for Ariane of Greylyn, Azure, a bordure fleury argent by X.1, Addition of Primary Charges. Ansteorra, Kingdom of. Badge for the Kingdom Chiurgeon Emeritus. (Fieldless) On an owl argent a fleam gules. Arabella of the Plains. Name and device. Per bend sinister azure and vert, a bend sinister wavy between a mistral contourny and a horse passant contourny argent. Please instruct the submitter to draw the bend sinister wider and with deeper waves. Brigit N{i'} Sheachnasaigh. Device. Per bend sable and argent, a pair of barnacles counterchanged. C{a'}elainn inghean u{i'} Chomhraidhe. Name. Submitted as C{a'}elainn ingen u{i'} Comhraidhe, the byname mixed early and late orthographies. We have changed the particle to a post-1200 form and lenited the patronymic to make it grammatically correct. Clarissima di Niccolucci. Name. {Cv}inoajin Uriangqadai. Name and device. Per bend sinister sable and argent, two mullets counterchanged argent and azure. Submitted as Uriangqadai {Cv}inoajin, no evidence was provided that the byname should precede the given name in Mongol names. We have therefore changed the order of the name elements. We have also added the accent to the given name to match the transliteration used in the submitted documentation. Cunovinda ingen Choinnich. Name. The submitter requested an authentic 13th century Scots name. While this name is clearly registerable, we do not see how a Pictish name element, documented from the Roman era, could reasonably have been used in that time period. D{o'}nal {O'} Dochartaigh. Name change from Donal mac Se{o'}irse and device change. Per chevron sable and azure, an English panther rampant reguardant argent pellety incensed Or, an orle argent. Submitted on the LoI as Donal O Dochartaigh, the accents were dropped in Kingdom. We have changed the name back to the originally submitted form. His former name is released. His former device, Per chevron sable and azure, a panther rampant argent pellety incensed between three mullets of four points argent, is retained as a badge. Dunstan {ae}t Sancte Petroces Stow. Name and device. Gules, two chevronels inverted, in chief a cross formy between two lions combattant argent. Submitted as Dunstan aet Petrokes Stowe, the name combined a Saxon particle with a Norman spelling of the place name. Since the submitter indicated he desired a Saxon name we have changed the byname to a spelling dated to the Saxon era. We have also corrected the spelling of the particle. Please instruct the submitter to draw the chevronels with a sharper angle. Finnac{a'}n Dub. Name and device. Argent, in pale a sprig of three holly leaves vert fructed gules conjoined to a chalice vert, a bordure sable. Submitted as Fionnag{a'}n Dubh, he requested an authentic 9th-11th century Irish name. We have therefore changed the spelling to match that time period. Geanne M'Kiernan. Name. Submitted on the LoI as Jeanne M'Kiernan, the submitter stated she preferred to have the given name spelled with a G. Considering the occurrences of Gennat in Krossa's "Early 16th Century Scottish Town Women's Names" we find this spelling a plausible hypothetical form. Gwineth ferch Pyrs. Name. Ihone MacEogan of Bannockburn. Name (see RETURNS for device). Submitted as Ihone MacEogan, that name conflicted with Eoin mac Eoghain, registered in September 1985. We have added a locative byname as per the instructions of the submitter. Jason MacPherson. Device. Per bend sinister rayonny sable and Or, a cross of Jerusalem and a boar's head erased counterchanged. Joanna of the Plains. Name (see RETURNS for device). Kathleen Davis McReynald. Name. Kezia Kiabarta. Name. Submitted as Kiabarta Kezia, no evidence was given that the byname preceded the given name in Khazar culture. While the documentation for the byname itself is scanty, we are willing to accept it considering the lack of easily accessible references for that culture. M{a'}ire ingen Chiar{a'}in. Name. Marcus the Quiet. Name. Matheus mac Domnaill. Name. Submitted as Matheus mac Domnaill, the citation of the patronymic was mistype. We have therefore corrected the patronymic to the actual documented form. Medb Liath. Device. Per saltire vert and azure, a Norse sun cross within a bordure embattled Or. Murdoc McDuncan. Name and device. Gules, a sword inverted proper, overall on a chevron Or three mullets of five greater and five lesser points sable. Submitted as Merdock McDuncan, no evidence was given for this spelling of the given name; the citation in the LoI was incorrect. We have changed the name to a close documentable spelling. P{a'}draig R{u'}ad {O'} Maolag{a'}in. Name and device. Per bend argent and vert, a shamrock and a Celtic cross counterchanged. Rebekah of Newcastle. Name. Reynald of Northkeep. Name. Romanius Vesperianus. Name and device. Per chevron sable and argent, two crosses formy fitchy argent and a scorpion gules. Rowan Quirke. Name. Submitted on the LoI as R{u'}adnat ni Corcc, the submitter indicated she preferred Rowan for the given name. She also indicated that she would prefer the spelling Quirke if the byname had to be Anglicized. We have made these changes. Saereid Sigmundsdottir. Name and device. Per pale Or and gules, six Thor's hammers in annulo handles to center counterchanged. Sib{e'}al inghean u{i'} Ruairc. Name. Sigerith d'Aiencort. Name. Siobh{a'}n inghean u{i'} Dhomnaill. Name and device. Per chevron argent and vert, three trefoils one and two vert. The question was raised in commentary whether this name conflicts with Siobhan MacDonald, registered in 1985. However, in September 1999 Elsbeth Ann Roth made a ruling which is relevant here: Mac "son of" and O "descendant (grandson) of/of clan" refer to significantly different relationships and are therefore clear. It seems natural to apply this ruling to the corresponding feminine forms inghean and inghean u{i'} as well. The device is clear of Fiona of Annandale, Per bend embowed azure and argent, in dexter base three shamrocks vert. The shamrocks on Fiona's device are in bend, so there is a CD for the changes to the field and a second for the difference in arrangement of the shamrocks. Tamara de Montoya. Name and device. Gules, a snow leopard sejant guardant argent spotted sable and on a chief argent three lozenges gules. Tatiana Kamenska. Name. Taya Fitzphilip. Name. Terence Daniel. Name. Threebridges, College of. Branch name (see PENDS for device). Nice name. Trahaearn ap Gruffudd. Name. Venanza da Verona. Name change from holding name Valerie of Elfsea. William MacAllen the Lapidary. Name. 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. This was pended from the September 2000 LoAR. ATENVELDT Beartlaoi mac Mathghamhna. Device. Or, a grenade sable enflamed gules between three Celtic crosses sable, a bordure dovetailed gules. Killian M'Cahall. Badge. Gules, in fess two quavers Or. Kveld{u'}lfr av {U'}lfsgar{dh}. Name (see RETURNS for device). Submitted as Kveldulf av Ulfsgaard, we have changed the given name to match the submitted documentation and corrected the spelling of the locative. Richard Oakshield. Name change from holding name Richard of Atenveldt. Timothy Matthias de Coupeland. Name and device. Argent, a cross vert interlaced with a star of David gules. Teresa of Sundragon. Holding name and device (see RETURNS for name). Argent, a natural panther's head erased purpure bezanty. Submitted under the name Teresa Callan. ATLANTIA Adeliza of Bristol. Device. Azure, an owl maintaining an acorn between flaunches argent each charged with a decrescent sable. Akilah of Seareach. Alternate name {Y'}ri Feilan. Alicia Rose Wolf. Name and device. Sable, in fess two wolf's heads cabossed and in base a rose argent slipped and leaved fesswise Or, on a chief triangular argent a heart gules. Ali{e'}nor de Narbonne. Name. Alvaro de la Bastida. Name and device. Argent, a griffin sejant dexter forepaw raised sable, on a chief azure three acorns Or. Submitted as Alvar de la Bastida, he requested an authentic 15th century Iberian name. We have therefore changed the given name to a form used in that time period. Atlantia, Kingdom of. Badge for the Atlantian Pages Academy. (Fieldless) On a rose within and conjoined to an annulet azure a chalice argent. Atlantia, Kingdom of. Heraldic title Blue Crab Herald. Beatrice von Staufen. Badge for L{u:}tolf von Staufen. Per chevron vert and sable, a sword argent, a glove grasping the blade, between in chief two lion's heads cabossed Or. She has permission to conflict with R{u:}dger von Staufen, Per chevron vert and sable, a sword argent between in chief two lion's heads cabossed Or. It is not possible to display Beatrice's badge given R{u:}dger's blazon, nor is it possible to display R{u:}dger's device given Beatrice's blazon. Therefore these are not identical armory for the purposes of the Administrative Handbook rule IV.C.3, Permission to Conflict. Thus while there are no CD's between the two pieces of armory, with the letter of permission we can register Beatrice's badge. Brennus Barbatus. Name change from Eoin Mac an B{a'}ird. His former name is released. Bright Hills, Barony of. Badge for the Cooks Guild. Sable, a cauldron, a base indented of three points argent. This is clear of Brekke Franksdottir, Sable, a cooking pot hanging from a tripod above a flame in base argent. There is one CD for the change of the charge in base, and a second for the removal of the tripod. Caiter{i'}na inghean u{i'} Chonaill. Name and device. Vert, a natural leopard statant guardant Or spotted sable, on a chief argent three double roses gules. Chiara di Franco. Name. Chiara di Franco. Alternate name Ceara Fhionn inghean Chinn{e'}idigh. Daved Shmuel ben Rachon. Badge. (Fieldless) A eagle's head erased contourny proper armed Or maintaining a rose slipped and leaved proper. The shape of the rose is grandfathered to the submitter. Egill Leifsson. Name and device. Azure, on a bend sinister plain cotised wavy Or three oak leaves palewise vert. Elvegast, Canton of. Badge. Gules, a bend sinister of five lozenges conjoined argent. F{e'}thnat ingen Thaidg. Device. Per pale azure and purpure, a chevron between three hawk's heads erased argent. G{ae}fstan Gerhard. Name change from Alan Quentin Garretson and device change. Per bend sinister argent and sable, a cross formy fitchy counterchanged, in canton a roundel azure. His former name and device, Per bend sinister sable and gules, on a bend sinister embattled counter-embattled argent between two fleurs-de-lys Or, two double-headed turtles palewise vert, are released. Galen mac Cuinneg{a'}in. Name change from Galen of Elvegast. His former name is released. Gerrit Sindwulf. Name. Submitted on the LoI as Gerrit Sindwolf, we have changed the spelling back to the form originally submitted based on the example of Gripenwulf found in Bahlow's Deutsches Namenlexikon. Griffin Warwick. Name. Herveus d'Ormonde. Badge. (Fieldless) A belt in annulo gules. The common use in the SCA of a red belt to denote a squire is nevertheless not a protected usage. Therefore this badge is not presumptuous. Furthermore, because badges are not regalia, the registration of this badge does not restrict anyone, squire or not, from wearing a red belt. Jean Claude de Calais. Device. Azure, on a pale between two sharks urinant addorsed argent a trident sable. Jehannette de Provins. Name. Juan Bautista Pon{c,}e. Name. K{a'}ra in Danska. Device. Argent, a seeblatt and on a chief doubly enarched azure three estoiles Or. Krestiia Ivanovna. Name and device. Quarterly azure and argent, four harps counterchanged. Nice armory! Ludovico il Corvo. Name and device. Per pale rayonny sable and argent, a chief checky sable and argent. M{a'}ille ingen Bhrain Cadal. Badge for Brenna dei Leoni la poetessa. (Fieldless) A demi-lion couchant to sinister Or maintaining an equal-armed Celtic cross sable. Manuela Pon{c,}e. Name. Margareta vanden Velde. Name. Mathias Broussard le Caignon. Household name House of Broussard. Olwen the Odd. Device. Azure, in pale a comet bendwise inverted argent and a crescent, a sinister tierce Or. Olwen the Odd. Badge. Azure, a comet bendwise inverted argent. Paterick Burke. Name and device. Per pale vert and argent, two bars counterchanged, on a chief sable three crosses bottony argent. Please instruct the submitter to draw the bars and the crosses larger. Ponte Alto, Barony of. Badge for the Baronial Brewer. Or, a bridge and on a chief sable a barrel palewise Or. Ponte Alto, Barony of. Badge for the Baronial Rattan Champion. Or, a bridge and on a chief sable a helm Or. Ponte Alto, Barony of. Badge for the Baronial Artisan. Or, a bridge and on a chief sable a pair of calipers Or. Ponte Alto, Barony of. Badge for the Baronial Archer. Or, a bridge and on a chief sable a pheon Or. Ponte Alto, Barony of. Badge for the Baronial Rapier Champion. Or, a bridge and on a chief sable a rapier fesswise Or. Ponte Alto, Barony of. Badge for the Baronial Bard. Or, a bridge and on a chief sable three harps Or. Ponte Alto, Barony of. Badge for the Server's Guild. (Fieldless) A ewer per pale Or and sable. Refkell melrakki Einarsson. Name. Ritterwald, Canton of. Branch name and device. Azure, a tilting lance bendwise sinister Or surmounted by a horse rampant argent, in canton a laurel wreath Or, a ford proper. Robert of Canterbury. Name and device. Gules, three bunches of grapes slipped and leaved Or. Robert Pine. Name (see RETURNS for device). Roxbury Mill, Shire of. Badge. (Fieldless) Two millrinds in cross vert. Sara Husey. Name. Susanne de Darby. Name. Thorbjorn Kristiansson. Device. Lozengy argent and azure, two brown bears rampant reguardant proper, on a chief gules three crosses couped Or. Thorfinn of Dun Carraig. Name. Submitted on the LoI as Thorfinn of Dun Carriag, we have corrected the typo in the group name. Vincent Wynters of Yorkshire. Name. Volradus Tammius. Household name House Ternhill. Yael bat Boaz. Name. CAID Ida Haroldsdottir. Name and device. Argent, a mullet within an annulet gules. Jens inn draumspaki. Name and device. Vert, on a bear statant erect affronty forepaws elevated argent a Thor's hammer gules. Submitted as Jens inn Draumspaki, we have changed the byname to lower case to match Norse practice. Marie Aoibeall. Device. Purpure, a bell and on a chief embattled Or three quavers sable. This depiction of quavers can be found dating to the 13th century (in the Cantigas de Santa Maria). Martin de Thalassa. Device. Or, an owl contourny maintaining a barrel sable banded argent, a chief enarched vert. Molle of Norwiche. Name and device. Sable, three anchors argent. Nice armory! Mons Draconis, Canton of. Badge. (Fieldless) A demi-wyvern vert issuant from a tower gules. Odd Thorvald. Name. DRACHENWALD Biringeira de Vascon{c,}ellos. Name (see RETURNS for device). Bothild Alffsdotter. Name. Fri{dh}{ae}lv Olvesdottir. Name and device. Vert, a chevron inverted and in chief a roundel Or. H{a'}kon bl{a'}nef. Name and device. Per pale wavy Or and sable, a hammer and in pale three pheons inverted counterchanged. Submitted as Smi{dh}r-H{a'}kon bl{a'}nef, he desired an authentic Norse name. Since the College could not find evidence of using both an occupational and descriptive byname in that culture we have dropped the first byname. Please instruct the submitter to make the waves deeper. Juhana Maununpoika Kivisuo. Alternate name Johan Magnusson Kivisuo. Karna Persdotter. Device. Vert, three chevronels braced, in chief a dolphin naiant Or. Please instruct the submitter to draw the chevronels so that each of them issues from both sides of the shield. Peregrine Mackay. Name. Ulfr Ketillson. Device. Per saltire sable and gules, on a roundel argent another sable. EALDORMERE Sanchia of Ealdormere. Name. This was pended from the September 2000 LoAR. Sean of Ben Dunfirth. Holding name and device. Or, a bearded man's head cabossed sable within a bordure sable semy of cups Or. This was pended from the September 2000 LoAR. At that time the submitted name, Tarkatal of Ben Dunfirth was returned. LOCHAC Dieric Pieterszoon van Tolen. Name and device. Per pale argent and azure, two lions rampant, a chief wavy counterchanged. Johan Patris. Name. Karl Faustus von Aachen. Name and device. Bendy azure and Or, three reremice gules. The depiction of the reremice is found in Parker, A Glossary of Heraldry. While this is not a period source, it is a standard modern source and therefore the depiction is registerable. Michael of Galicia. Name and device. Paly vert and argent, on a chief argent three trefoils purpure. The trefoils were blazoned as vert on the LoI, but a letter of correction was sent in a timely manner. Patry de Buck. Name and device. Sable, a stag's head erased argent between flaunches argent masoned sable. Please instruct the submitter to draw the flaunches issuant from the corners of the shield and more rounded. Riccardo Pugliesi. Name and device. Per fess Or and azure, a catapult sable and three fish naiant Or. Selfran the Singer. Device change. Azure, in cross five horseshoes inverted Or. The submitter's former device, Azure, a chevron, cotised to chief, Or, overall a horseshoe, inverted and winged, argent, is released. Toirdhealbhach {O'} Corr{a'}in. Name (see RETURNS for device). Submitted as Toirdhaelbhach {O'} Corr{a'}in, we have changed the given name to match the documentation. Willoughby Vale, Canton of. Branch name change from the Canton of Parvus Portus. Their former name is released. MERIDIES Brenna inghean Fhionnlaoich. Device. Per fess sable and Or semy of shamrocks vert, on a sun Or a decrescent sable. This was pended from the September 2000 LoAR. MIDDLE Agnes Gaillard. Device. Azure, a cross patonce argent within a bordure argent mullety vert. This was pended from the September 2000 LoAR. Andrea Pellegrini. Name and device. Per pale argent and sable, two fish in annulo gules. Eilonwy Andereth. Reblazon of device. Azure, a unicornate sea-horse erect reguardant argent. Giles fitz Alan. Device. Per pale sable and gules, a wyvern statant, in chief two mullets of six points Or. The device is clear of Wolfgang Adolphus J{a:}ger, Per pale sable and gules, a dragon segreant between in chief two ermine spots Or. There is a CD for changing the type of the charges in chief plus a CD for the change in posture of the primary charge. Joseph Griffin. Name. Liora eishet Yehoshua. Name and device. Argent, a swan naiant contourny, a bordure azure. Submitted on the LoI as Liora eshes Yehoshua, we have changed the name back to the form originally submitted. Liora is her modern Hebrew given name; such names were ruled registerable under the legal name allowance by Bruce Draconarius of Mistholme in September 1992. Please instruct the submitter to draw the bordure larger. Meliora Blythe. Device. Argent, a unicorn salient reguardant, on a chief sable two oak leaves argent. This was pended from the September 2000 LoAR. Sadb ingen S{e'}gda. Name. Submitted as Sadb ingen S{e'}gdae, she requested an authentic 11th century Irish name. We have therefore changed the byname to a form found in The Annals of Tigernach. Semeeah bint al-Khayyat. Name. Vargavik, Shire of. Branch Name (see RETURNS for device). Submitted as Varg{a'}vik, we have dropped the unattested accent. OUTLANDS Duncan Alastair MacRae. Device. Per chevron argent and vert, three thistles one and two proper and a broadarrow inverted argent. Please instruct the submitter to draw a steeper line of division. Elise de Champtoceaux. Name and device. Per pale azure and argent, a zule within a bordure counterchanged. Submitted on the LoI as Elise de Chomptceaux, we have corrected the two typos in the byname. Please instruct the submitter to draw both the bordure and the zule thicker. Gavin Kent. Name. Rowan MacMillan of Loch Tay. Name and device. Or, a hare rampant gules between flaunches vert each charged with a rowan branch Or. Submitted as Rowann MacMillian of Loch Tay, we have dropped the unattested n from the given name and corrected the typo in the clan name. THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN RETURNED FOR FURTHER WORK {AE}THELMEARC Katheryne aff Kringskiep. Device. Per fess argent and purpure, two domestic cats sejant erect affronty sinister forepaw raised counterchanged. The position of the sinister forepaw gives the illusion of depth. Period examples of sejant erect affronty have the arms out to the side. We have returned submissions of animals rampant affronty for exactly this reason; barring evidence of sejant erect affronty being depicted in this manner, we must return this for a redraw. Sueva the Short. Name. The given name was documented from Roberts, Notable Kin: An Anthology of Columns First Published in the NEHGS NEXUS, 1986-1995. While we have no reason to doubt the quality of the genealogical research, the goals of genealogists are different from ours and their data is not necessarily applicable to SCA use. The College was unable to verify this name. We therefore have to return it, barring new evidence of its use as a given name in period. Also, please note that the College needs to know the culture as well as the time period of a name, especially when the name is documented from a non-standard source. Her device was registered under the name Theresa the Short. AN TIR Mu-Man Dkon-Mch{o-}g N{a:}m. Name. Tibetan names were ruled unacceptable by Talan Gwynek in November 1995: More important, significant interaction between Tibet and pre-seventeenth century Western culture has not been demonstrated. The Encyclop{ae}dia Britannica dates the first visits to Tibet by Western missionaries to the 17th century, and the fact that the 8th century Tibetan kingdom had some contact with the Arab conquerors of Iran still leaves Tibetans at least two removes from Western Europe. Also, the documentation for this name consisted of a letter from a professor of Tibetan studies in Sakya Monastery. However, no background information was given for the academic status of the monastery, and the information on the letter was not supported by, for example, photocopies of a dictionary showing the name elements. Thus we would have had problems with the documentation even if Tibetan names were registerable. Her device has been registered under the holding name Melody of An Tir. Phydeaux Weir. Name. The justification presented for the given name as a hypothetical French name is rather too much of a stretch, and no evidence was found that the name was used prior to the late 20th century. ANSTEORRA Gwenafwy Sinclaire. Badge. Azure, a seahorse and a base rayonny argent. Conflict with Eilonwy Andereth, reblazoned elsewhere in this letter, Azure, a unicornate sea-horse erect reguardant argent. There is only a single CD for the addition of the peripheral charge. Ihone MacEogan of Bannockburn. Device. Azure, a bend sinister fusilly argent. Conflict with the badge for the Canton of Elvegast, Gules a bend sinister of five lozenges conjoined argent, registered in this letter. There is only a single CD for the change to the field. As Elvegast's submission was made earlier in the month, its registration takes precedence. The device, however, is clear of Caitlin Morgana ferch Llywellyn, Azure, a bend sinister dancetty between a decrescent and a pegasus segreant argent. Evidence taken from the Dictionary of British Arms strongly indicates that bends dancetty were not used interchangeably with bends fusilly; in fact, they were used by different people and in different ways. Thus there is a CD for changing the line of division on the bend and a second for the removal of the secondary charges. Joanna of the Plains. Device. Sable, four horseshoes bendwise sinister one two and one Or. The device forms showed a different arrangement of charges than appeared on the mini-emblazon. This difference was enough that the College needs to see and comment on the emblazon; however, as the kingdom did not send a corrected emblazon, we must return the device. Siobh{a'}n inghean Eoghain u{i'} Neill. Name. Unfortunately, this name is presumptuous under section VI.3 of the Rules for Submissions: "Names that unmistakably imply identity with or close relationship to a protected person or literary character will generally not be registered." We cannot therefore register it without permission from Eoghan O'Neill, whose name was registered in An Tir in 1992. Dropping either of the bynames does not help either, as the name would then conflict with either Siobhan O'Neill, registered in 1984, or aurally with Siobhan nic Eoin, registered in 1994. ATENVELDT Kveld{u'}lfr av {U'}lfsgar{dh}. Device. Argent, a wolf-headed eagle displayed facing sinister sable gorged of a county coronet Or sustaining a pair of axes crossed in saltire sable. Conflict with Prussia (important non-SCA arms), Argent, an eagle displayed sable crowned Or and Manfred, King of Sicily (important non-SCA arms), Argent, an eagle displayed sable. While the axes are large enough to count for difference, neither the wolf head nor the gorging are worth difference, so the addition of the axes is the only CD. Teresa Callan. Name. Unfortunately for the submitter, mixed Irish / Spanish names are not allowed (Jaelle of Armida, LoAR of July 1997). As Teresa was not used in the British Isles until after our period we have to return this. Her device has been registered under the holding name Teresa of Sundragon. ATLANTIA Astasia de Moncellis. Device. Quarterly argent and argent v{e^}tu ploy{e'} azure, in bend sinister two decrescents azure. The device violates RfS XI.3, Marshalling. In particular it violates the clause in RfS XI.3.b: Such fields may only be used when no single portion of the field may appear to be an independent piece of armory. No section of the field may contain an ordinary that terminates at the edge of that section, or more than one charge unless those charges are part of a group over the whole field. Charged sections must all contain charges of the same type to avoid the appearance of being different from each other. While this case is not precisely one of the cases enumerated, there is no evidence of a v{e^}tu field being used on only part of the field; therefore the two v{e^}tu sections can only be independent pieces of armory. Reblazoning as Quarterly argent and azure, in bend sinister two lozenges ploy{e'} throughout each charged with a decrescent azure does not help, because the lozenges are both charged and throughout, so the quarters still appear to be independent armory. Atlantia, Kingdom of. Badge for the Kings Guard. (Fieldless) A sealion maintaining a sword bendwise sinister Or. The consensus of the College is that the sword is not large enough to count as a co-primary. As a maintained charge its addition is worth no difference so the badge is in conflict with the badge for the Shire of Adamestor, A sea-lion Or maned sable. There is a CD for fieldlessness but nothing for changing the tincture of the mane of the lion nor for the addition of the sword. Derdriu ingen Muiredaig. Device. Argent, a panther rampant guardant sable spotted of diverse tinctures incensed gules, on a chief purpure three moths close argent. The moths on the chief were not in a standard heraldic posture. While the posture in which moths are often found in nature, none of the College was able to devise a blazon to accurately describe it. Because armory must be blazonable, this must be returned. Elvegast, Canton of. Badge. Argent, a bend sinister of five fusils conjoined gules. Conflict with Sarsif the Red, Argent, a bend sinister indented, a bordure gules. There is a CD for the removal of the bordure, but as a bend sinister of fusils is an artistic variant of indented, there is not a CD between it and a bend sinister indented. Robert Pine. Device. Azure, two wasps combattant, a bordure argent. Long precedent has held that non-quadrupeds cannot be registered in positions such as rampant. In particular, in May 1991, Laurel stated "Henceforth, we will not accept rampant birds." In the same month, Laurel said, "given the College's feelings about birds in a rampant position it is unlikely that a rampant insect would be any more acceptable." Since that time, we have not registered insects in a rampant position, and see no reason to do so now. CAID Jarucha Ekaterina Delamare. Name. While combining Russian with French is registerable, it is a weirdness. The use of double given names in Russian was also ruled a weirdness by Jaelle of Armida in June 1997. The name is, therefore, not registerable as it is. We would have dropped the second given name, but since the submitter does not accept major changes we could not do this. DRACHENWALD Biringeira de Vascon{c,}ellos. Device. Per pale urdy gules and sable. Conflict with the badge of Peter of Dun Calma, Per pale embattled gules and Or. There is a CD for change of tincture, but by precedent (Arinbjorn Ragnarsson, January 1997, p. 18) there is not a CD for urdy vs. embattled. Thomas de Ely. Name and device. Argent, on a fess sable two crescents argent. The name conflicts with Thomas Arundel, archbishop of Ely, who has his own entry in the Encyclopaedia Britannica. The device conflicts with the flag of Meridies, Argent, on a fess sable, a crown of three points between two mullets argent. There is only one CD for the multiple changes to the tertiary charges. LOCHAC Artemisia da Quieto d'Arzenta. Device. Per chevron ermine and purpure, in base a compass star argent. There are multiple conflicts, including the one mentioned in the Letter of Intent: Ulrich Drachendonner, Tierced in pall azure, gules and sable, in chief a compass star argent. Because the position of Artemisia's compass star's is forced, there is not a CD for position, even though the location of Ulrich's compass star is not forced. The device is also in conflict with Andrew Greencloak Hethilsson, Per chevron argent and vert, in base a mullet of four points argent, the badge for the Barony of Rivenstar, Azure, a riven star argent, and the badge for Eleanor Leonard, (Tinctureless) A mullet of four points distilling a goutte. By prior precedent there is not a CD between a compass star and a mullet of four points, nor is there a CD between a compass star and a riven star; therefore in each case there is only a single CD for the changes to the field. Toirdhealbhach {O'} Corr{a'}in. Device. Quarterly azure and gules, a griffin segreant Or. Conflict with Degary Golafre of Pembroke, 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. There is a CD for the field, but nothing for removing the maintained charges. MIDDLE Vargavik, Shire of. Device. Gyronny arrondy Or and gules, in canton a laurel wreath sable. Conflict with the Order of the Laurel, (Tinctureless) A laurel wreath. As the order's badge is tinctureless and fieldless, there is not a CD for position, nor is there any CD's for tincture. There was some discussion as to whether these could be called clear via RfS X.3 Required Charges Transparent. That rule, however, only allows armory with required charges to be considered "simple armory" for the purposes of X.2. As both pieces of armory are already simple, this rule does not apply. A reasonable extension of this rule would be to allow armory consisting of only required charges to be considered field primary, which was presumably the intent of the commenters. That extension, however, would be a rules change and thus needs to be considered as such. In any case, RfS X.3 only applies when both pieces of armory have required charges, and the laurel wreath is not a required charge for the Order of the Laurel. OUTLANDS None! THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN PENDED UNTIL THE SEPTEMBER 2001 LAUREL MEETING ANSTEORRA Threebridges, College of. Device. Argent, in pale three bridges between flaunches azure each flaunch charged with a laurel wreath argent. The letter of intent listed the field as azure. MIDDLE Anna Mailander. Badge. (Fieldless) A sewing needle bendwise sinister vert surmounted by a ladybug bendwise sinister gules marked sable. The letter of intent omitted the tincture of the needle.
