For the May 2003 meetings, printed July 16, 2003
To all the College of Arms and all others who may read this missive, from François Laurel, Zenobia Wreath, and Mari Pelican, greetings.
This letter contains the issues raised in the May 2003 LoAR for CoA discussion. The text in this letter is copied verbatim from that LoAR; it is provided here for convenience. As with a July LoI, these matters are currently scheduled for the Laurel meetings in NOVEMBER 2003. Original commentary must be in the College's hands no later than September 30, 2003. Responses and rebuttals to commentary must be in the College's hands no later than October 31, 2003.
Alaric Domhnullach. Device change. Azure, a claymore inverted enfiling a coronet all between three harps Or.
The sword was originally blazoned as proper (which would have an argent blade and an Or hilt), but the sword is entirely Or on the emblazon form. This must be pended for further conflict research.
We advise the kingdom to contact the submitter to see if he wanted the sword to be proper, as in his blazon and as in his currently registered device. If so, he should instruct us to withdraw this submission and he should resubmit with a correctly colored emblazon form.
The submitter is a court baron and is entitled to use a coronet.
Should this device be accepted, he will release his current device, Azure, a claymore inverted proper enfiled of a circlet between three harps Or.
(This submission was item number 13 on Atlantia's LoI of January 26, 2003.)
Morgan Archer. Device. Azure, a sea horse Or between in pall three arrows points to center argent.
The sea-horse was not blazoned as Or on the letter of intent. This must therefore be pended for further research.
On completion of this pend, the submitter should be advised to draw the sea-horse larger in proportion to the arrows.
(This submission was item number 5 on Meridies's LoI of January 31, 2003.)
Pray know that I remain
