Hakon de Decker. Name.

Henri le Hibou du Bois. Name.

Ivar of Honfleur. Name.

Johnna Clayborne. Name.

Jonathan Wlfraven. Name only (see PENDING for device).

Ker Megan of Taransay. Name.

While it is not particularly common for the descriptive to precede the given name, it is not unheard of (Wee Angus, Wee Willie Winkie).

Orianna Valentina Corbizzi. Badge. [Fieldless] A six petalled rose purpure barbed charged with a snowflake Or.

Sebastian Alexander Stormmane. Name.

Sorcha ní Fhaolaín. Device. Vert, a wolf passant between three mullets of seven points all within an orle Or.

Tarl Godric the Brokentoe. Badge. Azure, a toe couped Or.

This was submitted as "[Fieldless] Upon a hurt, a digit couped Or". As noted by Master Baldwin, fieldless badges should not have as their primary charge a charged convex geometric shape, as it then appears to be a display of arms. "The advice we've been giving on fieldless badges is wrong: we don't want someone to 'use a billet instead of a pale'.... The underlying charge should probably be a 'thing', rather than a convex geometric shape.... The problem is one of perception: if the underlying charge looks too much like one of the standard shapes upon which arms are borne, then the badge is going to look like a miniature display of those arms." (Baldwin of Erebor, LoAR 8 June 1986, p. 7) Accordingly, we have modified the blazon to better match the visual reality of this submission.

Alwyn von Breitscheid. Device. Per pale and chevronelly gules and Or, an eagle displayed, wings inverted, and on a chief azure three patriarchal crosses bottony Or.

This is clear of Webb (Papworth, p. 308), Argent, an eagle displayed double-headed, on a chief azure three crosses formy fitchy Or. There is one CVD for the change to the field, and a second under the new X.4.j.ii. for the substantial change in type of all of the tertiaries.

Alwyn Stewart. Badge. [Fieldless] A close helm and gorget affronty, plumed, within and conjoined to an annulet argent.

Atenveldt, Barony of. Badge. [Fieldless] Two palm trees trunks in saltire argent.

Loch Salann, Barony of. Name for Order of the Golden Reflection of Loch Salann.

Mark Lightburn. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Mons Tonitrus, Barony of. Name only for Order of the Sable Chevronels of Mons Tonitrus (see RETURNS for badge).

Mons Tonitrus, Barony of. Name and badge for Order of the Sable Harps of Mons Tonitrus. Per chevron throughout argent and sable, three harps counterchanged.

Mons Tonitrus, Barony of. Name for Order of the Saguaro of Mons Tonitrus.

Submitted as Order of the Saquaro of Mons Tonitrus on the LoI, the forms had the more normal form with the "g". (One reason why submissions forms should always be carefully and legibly filled out -- the g/q was partially obscured by the line it was written upon.) The fact that the Spanish wandered through much of the American Southwest in the 1500's leads us to believe that they would have at least seen saguaro cacti within our period.

We believe this to be clear of Bostock (Papworth, p. 912), Sable, a helmet argent, with one CVD for the bordure and another for the type of primary. The default helmet appears to be more akin to the classic barrel helm, and we could see a CVD between that and a morion helm.

Mons Tonitrus, Barony of. Title for Thunderbolt Pursuivant.

Morgan Blodwell. Name and device. Argent, ermined gules, three bendlets sinister azure semy of crosses formy argent, overall a griffin's head erased gules.

Sundragon, Barony of. Name for Order of the Dragon's Scale of Sundragon.

Sundragon, Barony of. Name for Order of the Honor of Sundragon.

This is already registered, per the Cover Letter to the LoAR of June 1990. Had it been a new submission, it would have conflicted with the Legion of Honor.

Tanglwyst de Holloway. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

While it is suspected that the given is a "tangled" typo of Tangwystl, the registered spelling is what is given in the documentation from Burke.

Tir Ysgithr, Barony of. Name for Order of the Lamp of Tir Ysgithr.

This is already registered, per the Cover Letter to the LoAR of June 1990.

Pended from the October 1990 Laurel meeting.

Submitted under the name Samrah shel Shemish Blackrune, which name was returned November 1990.

Duncan Crockett MacKay. Name for Company of the Chequered Shield.

Submitted as Company of the Chequered Shield of Western Seas, the geographic name was dropped since it implied that the Company was an official group of the Barony of Western Seas. Were it such, the name should be registered to the Barony and not to an individual who happens to reside there.

Garrick Bertbrand. Name.

Halldór Skaptason. Device change. Azure, a triquetra inverted Or.

Versus Eilis ni Roibeard O'Boirne (SCA), [Fieldless] A quatrefoil knot, we have no trouble granting a CVD between a quatrefoil knot and a triquetra. That, with another CVD for fielded vs. fieldless, is sufficient to clear. His currently registered device, Sable, a triquetra inverted argent within an orle of bezants, is released.

Isa Fialka Ziska. Name and device. Per saltire argent and vert, in pale a spider inverted and a spider sable, maintaining between them an annulet Or, within a bordure engrailed sable.

Korwin Freawine of Maeldun. Device. Azure, a chevron between two fleurs-de-lys Or and a compass star argent, in chief a bar embattled Or.

Leo Winthrop of the Torn Surcoat. Badge. Vert, on a pile rayonny argent a crane in his vigilance azure.

Melusine of Windhill Wood. Name change from Melusine Morgan and device. Purpure, a schnecke issuing from sinister chief ermine, in chief two mullets counterchanged.

Given that the College of Arms has already adopted such German charges as the seeblatt and nesselblatt into its blazonry, we saw no reason not to accept the German blazon for this charge as well. (Besides, how would one expect a "German snail"? Visions of snails with monocles and toothbrush mustaches spring immediately into mind. No, let's stick with schnecke.)

Philip Andrew Gawaine of Devon. Device. Per bend purpure and azure, a bend between a stag's head cabossed argent and a rose Or.

Robert Herring. Device. Per bend sinister argent and gules, a lyre sable and a seahorse sejant Or.

Romólo Pacireceptor. Name and device. Azure, a vol inverted argent, between its tips a hand in benediction proper, all within a bordure argent.

Ygraine o Gaerllion Fawr. Name and badge for Sedes Litterata. [Fieldless] Three walking staves proper bound with a ribbon fesswise gules bearing the words "docendo discimus" Or.

Submitted as Sedes Litterarum, we have corrected the grammar of the household name as the submitter's forms allowed.

Alberi de Garenne. Name and device. Gyronny sable and Or, a crux ansata counterchanged.

Deirdre O'Dalaigh. Name change from Marie Eichmann only (see RETURNS for device).

James Griffon Lestrange. Name.

Kasimira Verena d'Arcy. Device. Vert, semy-de-lys argent, in pale a lion couchant Or and a lamb couchant to sinister argent within a bordure embattled Or.

Mathieu la Croix. Change of holding name from Matthew Lleurance.

Nazar Druzhinin. Name.

Sally Salamandra the Whitesmith. Name and device. Purpure, a salamander tergiant vert flamed Or.

Submitted as Sally Salamandra the Brightsmith, brightsmith is a 19th century synonym for the period whitesmith, a worker in iron and tin. While the two elements of the byname are period, they are not combined together here in a period fashion. Such period exemplars as blacksmith and redsmith lead us to believe that the period form "whitesmith" is what should be used, and we have modified the byname as the submitter's forms allowed to do so. Because heraldic salamanders are enflamed (otherwise they would only be a lizard of some sort), we are not inclined to call the flames the primary charge. Hence this is clear of the Barony of Bhakhail (SCA), [Fieldless] A salamander tergiant sable, enflamed proper, with a CVD for fieldlessness, and another for the tincture of the salamander. (A visual check of Bhakhail's badge confirmed no visual conflict.) X.2 clears this from Evaine Saint Jean de Maurienne (SCA), Purpure, a cross bottony fitchy vert enflamed Or.

Wulfgar Hrafnfoedir. Household name for Hrafnsheim.

Submitted as Hrafnheim, correct grammar would use the "s", which we have added as the submitter's forms allowed.

Aelesia Penwen. Name.

Alexander MacLachlan. Name.

Alexandra O'Hare. Name and device. Azure, a hare sejant contourny Or and in chief three bezants.

Hagen Dawnhawk. Name and device. Argent, an arrow inverted between a decrescent and an increscent and in chief two mullets gules.

This is right at the edge of acceptability for slot-machine heraldry.

Submitted as Ian MacPherson of the Rose, the byname implies membership in the Order of the Rose as much as "of the Laurel", "of the Chivalry", or "of the Pelican" imply membership in those orders. We have dropped the byname as the submitter's forms allowed to register the name.

Isabeau des Jardins. Name.

Isleif Hrothgarson Ormstungu. Device. Argent, a fox's mask and two gussets gules, each gusset charged with three wolf's teeth argent.

Selena d'Ambra. Name.

Tegan Silverwolf. Name and device. Per pale gules and sable, a wolf rampant between three roses within a bordure argent.

Thora Sharptooth. Device. Gules, three delfs pierced two and two in bend Or.

While sympathetic with those who would blazon these as "square weaver's tablets" or "weaving cards", the existence of weaving tablets with five holes made Laurel less willing to do so, and so we have retained the "delfs pierced two and two" of the earlier registration of this charge.

Ursus Parvus. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Viktor von dem Kleinflüsse. Device change. Gules, a chevron inverted Or and in chief a maltese cross argent.

Several commenters called conflict with the Knights of Malta, but no one gave either a blazon which conflicted or a source. The arms of the Knights of Malta are Gules, a cross argent, three CVDs from this submission (type and tincture of the primary, addition of the secondary). Their badge, [Fieldless] A maltese cross argent, is two (one for fieldlessness, a second for the addition of the primary, which alone would normally be enough). While the use of the white maltese cross on a gules field is certainly reminiscent of the Knights of Malta, it is not a conflict. The submitter's registered arms, Vert, on a chevron inverted between two coronets embattled Or, two thistles slipped leaved and crossed at the base sable, are released.

William James Foxworthy. Name.

William the Mariner. Device. Azure, a bantam cock statant, wings elevated and addorsed, and on a chief embattled argent, an annulet sable.

Ynyr ap Rhys Mefusen. Name.

MERIDIES

Adela Mac Giolla Eoin. Name and device. Or, semy of quill pens, a pegasus courant to sinister, wings elevated and addorsed, within a bordure rayonny gules.

Brendan de la Rue. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Submitted as Brendan de la rue on the LoI, the forms had the byname capitalized as above.

Submitted as Bronwyn gan Kidwelly, the use of the Welsh particle with an Anglicized form of the town is problematic. We have modified the particle as the submitter's forms allowed to match the languages. Should the submitter wish an all Welsh form, it would be "gan Gydweli".

Cormac O'Dubhda. Name.

Draco Silverhand. Name and device. Gyronny gules and Or, a dragon's head erased sable and in dexter chief a hand couped argent.

Please ask the submitter to draw the hand a little larger.

Submitted as Johann Dietbold der Drachenschwert, we have corrected the grammar as the submitter's forms allowed.

Kristel Lia O'Ciaragain. Name.

Kytte Meliora Stevenson. Name.

Randall Mac Ruadaín. Device. Vert, on a plate between three compass stars argent, a wyvern erect sable.

This would be better if the plate were a little smaller and the compass stars more prominent.

Ruth Freespirit. Name.

The byname here is marginal, but probably just within the bounds of acceptability.

Sion o Gonwy. Device. Azure, on a bend sinister wavy between an enfield statant and a falcon volant argent, an increscent azure.

MIDDLE

Anne des Sept Monts. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Ben Dunfirth, Canton of. Device. Barry wavy argent and sable, a castle within a laurel wreath Or.

Caratuccus the Fool. Name and device. Argent, a jester's bauble faced Or, sticked sable, garbed gules and Or, within a bordure rayonny azure.

A jester's bauble proper would have a white face and brown stick, with the vesting tinctures blazoned specifically.

Damian Charles of Evotstarn. Name.

Duncan MacLachlan VcLeoid. Name and device. Ermine, two falcons close gules, belled and jessed, the jesses tied together in a Bourchier knot, Or and on a chief per saltire sable and Or, a saltire counterchanged.

Submitted as Duncan MacLachlan VcLeoid na Daloghlian Dugh, the byname has been dropped because the grammar was incorrect and no one was gave us the correct form of what the submitter desired the byname to mean.

This was registered as Eadgar de Cockagne, which we assume was a typo.

Ealdormere, Principality of. Badge. [Fieldless] On a trillium argent barbed vert a wolf's head cabossed gules.

Brion Gennadyevich Gorodin. Name.

Brion appears to be a reasonable spelling variant of Brian.

We have no difficulty with blazoning the specific type of musket, though of course it would not count for difference from any other type of period musket. We believe, however, that a "musket proper" would have a brown wood stock and black metal parts, so the fact that the metal on these is argent must be specifically blazoned. With four types of charges and four tinctures, this is at the very limit of acceptability for complexity. It would be ever so much better with four identical secondaries rather than two different ones in pale.

Submitted as Eduard de la Vert, we have dropped the unregisterable portion of the name to form a holding name in accord with normal holding name formation. (Dauzat notes the surname Vert without any article.)

The LoI blazoned the mullets as "voided and interlaced", but they were standard mullets of eight points on the large emblazon form.

Loch Gryffyn, Shire of. Device. Per saltire argent and sable, a triskele pierced and in base a laurel wreath vert.

Rowena of Flanders. Name.

Sven Dragon Ormson. Device. Gules, two ravens addorsed environed of a serpent in annulo involved vorant of its tail, a chief Or.
Pended from the October 1990 Laurel meeting.

Thomas du Lac. Device. Per fess rayonny argent and azure, a lion rampant between four fleurs-de-lys in saltire, all counterchanged.

Trimaris, Kingdom of. Badge for Kingdom Historian. [Fieldless] Upon an open book argent, in fess a triskele and an hourglass azure.

Clear of Yale, On a book argent, the words "orim v'tumim" azure, with a CVD for fieldlessness and another under revised X.4.j.ii. for substantial change to the type of tertiaries.

WEST

Aithne of Eagle's Crag. Device. Per bend wavy azure and argent, two increscents counterchanged.

Anastasia Grindstead of Raven Oak. Name and device. Per chevron argent and Or, a chevron embattled gules between two ravens respectant sable and an oak tree eradicated proper.

Antonietta Zampa del Gatto. Name and device. Vert, a cat's pawprint Or between three mullets argent.

Submitted as Antonietta Artigli del Gatto, we have corrected the byname as the submitter's forms allowed to give her the meaning which she desired. (Cat's paw; what she had was cat's claw.)

Arx Draconis, Shire of. Name and device. Vert, a sword proper debruised in chief by a laurel wreath argent, the wreath maintained by two dragons combattant Or.

Beli Bailey of Kintyre. Badge. Sable, on a cross nowy formy throughout argent, a maple leaf gules, all within a bordure argent.

Benedetta Despenser. Name and device. Vert, in bend three wyverns erect to sinister Or.

Submitted as Benedetta de Spencer, the "de" in the name is not a separable word part. We have accordingly corrected the spelling as the submitter's forms allowed to register the name.

This reblazon more accurately describes this badge than the original "... three trees eradicated in triquetra, the roots entwined about a heart ...".

Her currently registered device, Per fess azure and vert, two double-headed eagles displayed Or and a tower argent, is released.

Coinneach Donnchadh Bannatyne. Name and device. Or, a griffin segreant and on a sinister gore gules a cross calvary Or.

Connor Malcolm O'Maoilbhreanainn. Name.

Corin Gentleheart. Name.

Emory von Stuttgart. Name and device. Per fess, bendy sinister azure and Or, and sable, in pale an eagle displayed, wings inverted sable and a lion rampant Or.

Felix MacGowan of Darkmoor. Name and device. Sable, on a pale gules fimbriated Or between two panthers combattant, a sword argent.

Frank the Fortunate. Badge. Vert, on a pile engrailed argent between two annulets Or, a quatrefoil slipped vert.

Gareth Deufreuddwyd ap Rhys. Device. Or, a wyvern erect gules within a bordure per bend sinister sable and gules.

Gareth Graeme. Name and device. Per saltire sable and azure, a unicorn's head couped between in cross four compass stars argent.

Please ask the submitter to draw the compass stars larger.

Gwenhwyfaer ferch Gwilym ap Morgan o Erryrys. Name correction.

When this was registered in September 1988 the second "a" in the given name was accidentally dropped.

This beautiful device is not in conflict with Boncoeur, reblazoned above.

James of Nottingham. Device. Per pale gules and sable, a saltire triple-parted and fretted, Or.

Clear of Maltravers (Papworth, p. 883), Sable, fretty Or, with a CVD for the field and another for the positioning of the "laths". While a medieval fretty field generally had three laths along each diagonal, they were evenly spaced out. The proximity of those here clearly make them a saltire. Also clear of Geoffrey de Blenkinsopp (SCA), Checky sable and argent, a saltire parted and fretted Or. There is a CVD for the field, and we can see another for the difference between two laths on each diagonal and three.

The passion nails were blazoned on the LoI as fusils, but (i) fusils do not have an independent existence as a charge, and (ii) the assymetry of the charges here made them to clearly be passion nails.

Submitted as Joseph Lee Catchpole of Starfyre, the byname was not something that a person could be "of" or "from", so we have dropped it in order to register the name.

Karl Kriegerhelm. Device. Per bend argent and gules, a great helm counterchanged within a bordure embattled sable.

Submitted as Karl der Kriegerhelm, the above form is how the name was registered in November, 1990.

Katherine the Patient. Device. Gyronny of six argent and vert, three wooden portcullises proper.

Michelle von Stuttgart. Name.

Morgan Athenry. Name change from Coranna of Cavan.

Nicholaus Barchatov. Name and device. Azure, on a pile inverted between two lions sejant erect respectant Or, three hurts in pale.

Submitted as Nicholaus Barchatov of Moonshaven, the locative does not appear to be a place that a human may be "of", so we have dropped it to register the name and device.

Oláfr Thordarson. Name and device. Argent fretty azure, four ravens close, heads lowered, two and two, gules.

Patrick Logan. Name and device. Erminois, an eagle displayed sable, on a chief triangular gules, three roses argent.

Submitted as Patrick Logan of Starfyre, the byname was not something that a person could be "of" or "from", so we have dropped it in order to register the name.

Roberto de España. Device. Quarterly gules and argent, a maltese cross sable within a bordure counterchanged of the field.

Saint Bartholomew, College of. Badge. Sable, on an open book argent, a bee sable, banded Or.

Shaheena al-Riyadhi. Name.

Submitted as Shaheena al-Riyadh, we have corrected the grammar to allow the submitter to be from Riyadh, instead of being Riyadh ("al-Riyadh" means "the Riyadh").

Tasha of Falcon's Claw. Device. Vert, a sword inverted argent between three suns Or.

Permission to conflict with Rebecca of Twyn, Vert, a dagger inverted argent, hilted bendy sinister sable and argent, entwined with two stalks of catnip argent, was included.

Thomas Faraday. Device. Azure, a winged natural tiger rampant argent marked sable, on a chief argent three pairs of garden roses in saltire azure, slipped and leaved vert.

Clear by X.2 from Gillow (Papworth, p. 106), Azure, a lion rampant argent, on a chief of the last three roses of the first.

Valentine du Promontoire. Name.

Victor MacCain. Name only (see RETURNS for device).

Wander Riordan. Name and device. Per fess wavy azure and argent, in dexter chief a triskele argent.

Yvonne of Mountainsgate. Name and device. Per bend sinister vert and gules, two lions combattant argent and Or.

THE FOLLOWING SUBMISSIONS ARE RETURNED:

AN TIR

Emeric of Pevensey. Device. Gyronny of six gules and sable, on a chevron cotissed argent three martlets sable collared Or.

Gyronny of two colors (or two metals) is not permitted under the Rules for Submission.

Conflict with Ulrik Grimmhold (SCA), Sable, a dragon rampant guardant, wings addorsed, clutching a sledge-hammer Or. With no difference for either head posture or the held charge, there is only one CVD for the addition of the unicorn.

Rule XI.4 does not allow a roundel to be charged with more than one charge on the grounds that it appears to be an inescutcheon of pretense. Would they consider making the laurel wreath Or (or argent) and moving onto the field around the roundel?

Annabelle Marie Fitzsimmons. Device. Sable, a natural rainbow proper between in chief two pansies Or and in base a swan naiant argent.

Technical conflict with Laurel Venustas di Firenze (SCA), Sable, a rainbow proper between in chief two crosses crosslet fitchy and in base a rose slipped and leaved Or. There is only one CVD here, for the change in type to all of the secondaries. While the precedent in the Cover Letter of 6 September 1990, p. 2, defines the bottommost of three charges around an ordinary as half a group for purposes of counting difference, a rainbow is not an ordinary. Additionally, the natural rainbow proper also has extremely poor contrast with the sable field, enough so that its identifiability is significantly reduced. The submitter is advised to use an heraldic rainbow (on a sable [color] field, banded Or, gules, vert and argent) when she resubmits.

The submitter's own documentation is very clear that "armuin" is a title meaning "steward", "warrior", or "hero". It is not a given name. Would he consider the similar sounding (but documented) name "Ermyn" (Reaney's Dictionary of British Surnames, under "Armin" - "Ermyn Donetoun, 1327")?

Conflict with Clelland (Papworth, p. 61), Azure, a hare salient argent round the neck a hunting horn vert garnished gules. There is only one CVD for the addition of the secondaries; nothing for the poor contrast maintained charge.

Conflict with Nele (Papworth, p. 250), Azure, on a bend Or three lozenges sable. There is only one CVD for the addition of the secondaries.

Conflict with Sydenham (Papworth, p. 1019), Paly bendy argent and gules. There is only one CVD here for the change to the tincture(s) of the field. One more change (to field division, complex line, or field treatment) is needed. (Furs are treated as a single tincture: ermine, not argent semy of ermine spots sable.

The complex line of division of the field was almost entirely unidentifiable at any range because of the extremely poor contrast between gules and purpure. This is a color combination which should be avoided when using a complex line of division.

A device change requires that a mini-emblazon be provided to the College so that proper checking may be done. No emblazon was included in the LoI. It was noted in the Laurel meeting that this might be considered an overuse of "proper", since of all the visually significant charges, only the flaunches were not tinctured proper.

Atenveldt, Kingdom of. Name for Order of the Queen's Cypher of Atenveldt.

Conflict with the Order of the Queen's Cypher of both the East and West Kingdoms. Perhaps a letter of permission to conflict could be obtained from each of these kingdoms.

The name of the Lions of Atenveldt is already registered per the Cover Letter to the June 1990 LoAR. Does the kingdom really want to add the non-period style descriptive in front of the currently registered order name?

Conflict with the Award of the King's Gauntlet of Ansteorra. Perhaps a letter of permission to conflict could be obtained.

In the emblazon in the files, the swords are argent, not proper. An enfield proper has a red fox's head and forequarters, a grey wolf's back half, and yellow hawk's talons for the forelegs. (The emblazon in the files has the enfield colored brown all over with yellow hawk's talons for the forelegs. There is a note by Laurel in the file: "Please color the enfield in the above manner and use a dark grey.")

With four types of charges and four tinctures, this is right at the upper limit of the rule of thumb for complexity. Given that most of the charges are then "voided", the thin-line aspects of this device are enough to push it over the edge into unacceptability. (In any resubmission, the double tressure, if retained, should be made much wider.)

Exact conflict with the attributed arms of St. Aidan (Fabulous Heraldry #890), Azure, a torch Or enflamed proper. Conflict with the British 218th Brigade (MilOrd, p. 53), Sable, a cresset torch palewise Or, inflamed gules and the British 18th Artillery Training Brigade (MilOrd, p. 53), Per fess gules and azure, overall a torch inflamed all Or, with one CVD for the field. Also conflicts with Collins (Papworth, p. 1111), Azure, three torches Or, fired proper, with one CVD for the number of charges.

Conflict with Fannell (Papworth, p. 211), Argent, a bend gules within a bordure sable. There is only one CVD, for the addition of the secondaries.

Conflict with Hedworth (Papworth, p. 549), Argent, three chevronels braced sable, with one CVD for the addition of the roundel. Conflict also with Cleborne (Papworth, p. 551), Argent, three chevronels braced and a chief sable, with one CVD for changing the chief to a roundel.

Conflict with Eadgar de Cockayne, Vert, a thunderbolt within a bordure argent, registered in this LoAR. There is only one CVD, for the change to the field tincture.

The patronymic should be al-I'shaqi ("the Easterner") since I'shaqi is not a given name, but as the submitter's forms allowed no changes, we could not correct the grammar. (In spite of what the submitter said the name means, "bint" is "daughter of".) The device conflicts with Camel (Papworth, p. 58), Sable, a camel passant argent. There is only one CVD, for the addition of the bordure.

Conflict with Ingleby (Papworth, p. 991), Sable, a mullet of six points argent within a bordure Or. There is only one CVD for the field tincture, nothing for the difference between a mullet of six points and one of seven points.

Conflicts with the Order of the Dragon's Claw, registered to the Barony of Dragonsspine.

The posture of the cats is not really blazonable, as they are not in any standard heraldic posture. Conflict with Germany, Or, an eagle displayed sable. There is a single CVD, for the addition of the catamounts.

Bordures of flame have not been allowed for some time now. "There is a standing precedent against the use of bordures of flame." (Alisoun MacCoul of Elphane, LoAR of 25 February 1990, p.;18)

"Soft Slayer" makes no sense as an epithet. "Belle Tain" does not mean what the submitter thinks it does ("tain" refers to the tin backing of a mirror, not the mirror itself), and is aurally identical to the holiday "Beltane". And one may certainly not be the "slayer of Beltane", soft or otherwise. The dragon in orle on the device is completely unrecognizable as such.

Conflict with Landschaden (Rietstap), Sable, a harp Or. There is only one CVD, for the addition of the second harp.

Angharad Chy a tyr Sterrenow. Badge. [Fieldless] A rose between three mullets of four points one and two azure.

This fieldless badge consists of disparate charges without even a unifying visual theme, in violation of RfS VIII.5, Fieldless Style ("Fieldless armory must form a self-contained design").

The locative is composed of two different languages in a single word, and no documentation was submitted showing that either English shires could be formed with the name of a foreign city or that formation of a shire name in English would drop that final vowels before "-shire". Would the submitter consider simply using the documented city Emporiae?

Conflict with Latimer (Woodward), Gules, a cross patonce Or, and with Verenchesley (Papworth, p. 610), Azure, a cross patonce Or. In each case there is a CVD for the change to the field, but not enough difference between a maltese cross and a cross patonce for another.

Conflict with the submitter's legal name, Matthew Humble. Society names should not be the same as the members' legal names. (See Administrative Handbook, Protected Items I.) Addition of the article "the" is insufficient. (See RfS, V.4.) Addition of a given, surname, adjective or adjectival phrase would clear this.

Bran Gwyn ap Caw ap Maelgwn. Device. Azure, a raven and a trimount argent.

Conflict with Michelgrove (Papworth, p. 304), Azure, a goshawk argent. There is one CVD for the addition of the trimount, but we could not see a second for the difference between a raven and a goshawk in an identical posture. Regarding the statement made in the return of the Shire of An Dubhaigeainn, November 1990, it would have been clearer (and more accurate) had I said that there is no difference between two types of birds of similar shape or silhouette in identical postures. Thus this submission does not conflict with Longford (Papworth, p. 296), Azure, a sheldrake argent, with CVDs for type of primary and addition of the secondary. (Even Laurel on one of his bad days can tell the difference between a raven and a duck!)

"Surmounting a chief is not period heraldry and may not be heraldic even today. No charge should surmount a chief, wholly or partially, in SCA heraldry." (Wilhelm von Schlüssel, LoAR of 22 March 1983, p. 13)

Conflict with Allenson (Papworth, p. 373), Azure, a chevron argent. There is only one CVD, for the addition of the group of secondaries.

Aryana van Wyck. Device. Or, a dove volant wings addorsed azure grasping in its beak an olive branch vert.

Conflict with Williams (Or, a falcon volant azure), as cited in the LoI. There may possibly be a CVD for bird type here (see my comments above on the return of Bran Gwyn ap Caw ap Maelgwn (Calontir) for a fuller explanation), but certainly not the substantial kind of change required by X.2.

We have strong doubts about the propriety of the College registering an unofficial designation like "borough" to an SCA group, past registration notwithstanding. If it's a household, let's call it a household and register it to the head of the household. If it's a geographic group like a canton or shire, let's register it as a canton or shire.

There is no problem with the fess conjoined to a demi-pale; it is definitely a period charge. However, it does conflict with Klosterneuberg, Gules, a fess conjoined to a demi-pale in chief argent. There is only one CVD, for the complex line of the charge.

The epithet is not a period one, or formed following period examples ("the Mushroom"?). Taken on its face, it is also a claim to non-human status.

Visual conflict with Megwyn of Goen Dwry (SCA), Argent, a unicorn headed dragon with lion's forepaws segreant purpure, armed and orbed Or tail to base entwined about a garb sable. There is a CVD for fieldlessness, but the garb is a small held charge, and the visual similarities of the dragon and Megwyn's monster (changes to head and forepaws only) are simply to great to call them clear.

Conflict with the British 42nd Division (cited in the LoI), Argent, a rose gules barbed and seeded proper and a bordure gules. There is a CVD for the number of primary charges, but neither the slipping nor the difference between heraldic and garden roses has been considered a CVD before.

The byname means "of the sun", not a place a person can be from. Would the submitter consider Iseult Soleil, dropping the article and using the better documented surname?

Since this could just as well be blazoned "Or, two bendlets enhanced and two wolves' heads couped at the shoulders addorsed and conjoined sable", it conflicts with Bentley (Papworth, p. 288), Or, three bendlets sable. There is one CVD for changing the bottommost bendlet to conjoined wolves' heads. Versus Hallep (Papworth, p. 285), Or, two bendlets sable, there is a CVD for the addition of the wolves' heads. This is also a conflict.

Conflict with Clarissa Elana de Perrenoud (SCA), Vert, four mascles conjoined in cross, pometty at all points Or. There is one CVD for the number of mascles, but nothing for their arrangement, interlaced vs. conjoined, or the change from pometty at the points. (A visual check of Clarissa's device showed the rounding of the points to be relatively minor.)

Aural conflict with the registered name of Morton the Grey. The differences between the "g" of Morgan and "t" of Morton did not pass what Laurel has come to call the "Ali/Auda" test, and that g/t difference is the only real aural change between the two names.

As Ari takes the genitive "a" in Norse, the patronymic would be "Arasson" or "Arason". Since the submitter allowed not changes at all, we had to return the name.

This is being returned because of the lack of documentation of Erdélyi as a given name (no documentation at all was included with the forms aside from the submitter's statements on the forms regarding the name elements).

Conflict with Gunter Schwartzbar (SCA), Or, a bear's paw palewise appaumy sable maintaining three maces, two in fess and one in pale, gules. There is one CVD, for the addition of the tertiary. There is no difference between a bear's paw and a bear's jambe, and the held charges per X.4.j.

Society for Creative Anachronism. Title for Desmodus Herald.

As Desmodus is a word which combines both Greek and Latin, its use in any name would be suspect. Additionally, the use of a genus or species (Linnaean) name in a title was questioned since it follows no period examples.

Brendan de la Rue. Device. Argent, crusily vert, on a torteau a unicorn rampant guardant argent.

The unicorn is unidentifiable as such in a guardant posture, as its most unique identifying feature, the horn, is entirely lost against the head. We recommend using a normal rampant, and using fewer and larger crosses for the semy on the field; more like on the miniemblazon in the LoI rather than those on the large emblazon form.

Conflict, both technical and visual, with Christopher de Lockewood (SCA), Azure, an oak tree eradicated within a fetterlock, all within a bordure dovetailed argent. There is a CVD for removing the fetterlock (a secondary charge on Christopher's device), but nothing for the addition of the heart (which gets lost in the roots). As noted by Mistress Alisoun on a similar design, a heart encircled by tree roots is extremely poor style. (LoAR of May 1989)

Scops owls "proper" may come in any of three different color phases: rufous, gray, or brownish. As in similar returns in the past, we should not have to be so specific as to be required to specify which color phase an animal or bird is in to determine its tincture. This is being returned because Scops owls do not have a single "proper" color.

Anne des Sept Monts. Device. Azure, a fess indented on the upper edge Or and in chief a dove volant argent.

Conflict with Percy (Papworth, p. 702), Azure, a fess indented Or, as cited in the LoI. While there is a CVD for the addition of the secondary in chief, changing the complex line of division on the lower edge of the ordinary is not worth a second. (See the return of John Richard de Holloway, November 1990 LoAR for more discussion of this issue.)

The fact that each boar's head rests on a torse makes each one a crest. "You cannot use a crest as a charge." (Wilhelm von Schlüssel, LoAR 26 May 1983, p. 19. See also LoAR of 21 February 1984, p. 11)

This fieldless badge consists of disparate charges without even a unifying visual theme, in violation of RfS VIII.5, Fieldless Style ("Fieldless armory must form a self-contained design").

Conflict with Western Australia (Neubecker, p. 212), Or, a swan naiant to sinister sable. There is a single CVD for the addition of the secondaries.

Bottles came in a wide variety of shapes in period, and hence the emblazon may not be reproducible from the blazon. The specific variety of bottle shown on the emblazon is definitely post-period, so this must also be returned for using a non-period depiction.

While this is technically clear of Charles of Saxony (SCA), Gules, on a pale between two swords inverted argent, a sea dragon erect gules, with a CVD for changing the type and orientation of the secondaries and another for changing the type, number and tincture of the tertiaries, visually all of the difference is in the tertiaries. This is partly because they look more like swords than spearheads. Placing two different charges in different tinctures on an ordinary is extremely poor style, and may be sufficient cause in and of itself for return. And the overall effect of this design really is "slot-machine" (as one commenter noted, it looks like the center wheel is still spinning!).

SCA heraldic titles taken from real-life places fall under the Prohibition of Landed Titles. (See also the return of Ansteorra's proposed Bofors and Oerlikon in the November 1990 LoAR).

Conflict with the badge of Bowen (Fox-Davies' Heraldic Badges, p. 80), [Fieldless] A Bowen knot. There is a CVD for fielded vs. fieldless, but nothing for the tincture against a tinctureless badge, and the squaring of the corners is not sufficient for a second CVD.

Alysoun Jeuneterre. Device. Vert, a cup between three mullets argent.

Conflict with Kathleen Erin-go-burn-the-Bragh (SCA), Vert, a chalice argent containing flames Or. There is a CVD for the addition of the secondary mullets, but the flames are really only a held charge, and not worth a second CVD.

The name conflicts aurally with the already-registered Colleen MacCollough. The device conflicts with Dymock (Papworth), Argent, in pale a sword gules, with but a single CVD for the changes to the field.

The article does not match in gender with the noun; the name should be Eduard du Vert. However, as the submitter permitted no changes at all, the name could not be registered.

Because the most distinctive feature of the enfield, eagle's claws for forelegs, are completely lost against the cornucopia, there are a number of conflicts with various wolves and foxes, most notably: Fuchs (Woodward), Argent, a fox rampant gules, and Wood (Papworth, p. 98), Argent, a wolf salient sable collared Or. There is only one CVD, for the tincture of the beast. Conflict also with Deane, Papworth, p. 66), Argent, a lion rampant purpure, with one CVD for the type of beast. In all cases the cornucopia, as a held charge, is insufficient for a CVD. Please do not advise the submitter to draw the cornucopia proper: we could find no heraldic "proper" tincture for a cornucopia.

Conflict with Isabella, Queen of Castile. Isabeau is simply the French for Elizabeth, just as Isabella is the Spanish. The two names are exact equivalents.

Tanarian was registered in January 1983 as made-up Welsh from Tan = fire and Arian = silver. Given its registration and Welsh formation, we felt that it was not inappropriate to allow it to the submitter as the matronymic particle matches the language of her "mother's" SCA given name. However, information has been received that Medeni is a dog (specifically, a Welsh corgi). The SCA does not register names for non-humans. We will require proof of Medeni's human status before we can register this name.

The name MacLeer ("son of Leer") should not be used in conjunction with sea symbology because it will appear to be a claim to descent from the sea god Lir. A chief should not surmount a bordure (Parker, p. 112), nor should a chief be used with a bordure of the same tincture, which will have the visual effect of a bordure with a "fat top".

"Son of the timekeeper", which appears to be what the submitter is trying for, would actually be "mac a' Chaladair", but as he permitted no changes or corrections, we are unable to fix the grammar and have to return the name as a whole.

Conflict with Towers (Papworth, p. 365), Azure, a tower Or. There is only one CVD, for the addition of the wall. The cork and vine, being equivalent to held charges, do not contribute difference. The cork in the tower is really not period style, and is by itself sufficient ground for return. [Irreverent comment from the Laurel meeting: "We will register no tower before its time."]

Orles of two different charges are visually confusing and not permitted. The cookpot is drawn as a modern, flat-bottomed pot, not in a period representation. This was submitted with the blazon "[Fieldless] On a pomme, ...", but as noted above in the badge of Tarl Godric the Brokentoe (Ansteorra), fieldless badges should not have as their primary charge a charged convex geometric shape, as it then appears to be a display of arms. Reblazoned as above, it conflicts with Our Ladies Inn (Papworth, p. 676), Vert, a flowerpot argent with gilliflowers issuant gules leaved vert, with but a single CVD for the addition of the orle.

The sun lost its identifiabiity because of the complex counterchanging.

There is no such thing as a pile "diminished". A period (pre-Tudor) style pile would nearly touch the base point of the shield, and would not have room for a laurel wreath to pass underneath it. Would the submitters consider a laurel wreath overall counterchanged where it crossed the point of the pile?

Victor MacCain. Device. Per pale sable and argent, two elks heads addorsed and conjoined, and on a chief a decrescent and an increscent, all counterchanged.

The total effect of the mirror imaging along the line of division (the beasts' heads and the chief and the tertiaries) is far too modern in style. Had the tertiaries been identical (or even better, if they had instead been, say, three crescents), this effect would have been mitigated. As it is, we feel it must be returned under VIII.4.d., Modern Style.

ANSTEORRA

Jonathan Wlfraven. Device. Quarterly sable and argent, an Alsatian hound's head erased counterchanged.

Conflict with the crest of Pratt (Fairbairn's, p. 389), A wolf's head erased per cross argent and sable. This is pended until the March 1991 Laurel meeting when a resolution will me made regarding checking for conflict against crests.

Megan Laine. Badge. Checky gules and argent, a talbot sejant sable.

Conflict with the crest of Gessors (Fairbairn's, p. 201), A talbot sejant sable, collared argent. This is pended until the March 1991 Laurel meeting when a resolution will me made regarding checking for conflict against crests.

Nikolaos Demetriou ho Toxotes. Device. Azure, on a bend sinister Or between two crosses bottony Or three annulets azure.

The tincture of the bend was given on the LoI as argent. This is pended until the April 1990 Laurel meeting so that it can be properly researched.

Krystyna Czartoryska. Device. Per bend rayonny argent and gules, a brown eagle's wing displayed proper and a decrescent argent.

The blazon in the LoI had the field tinctures reversed and misblazoned the decrescent as gules. This is pended until the April 1990 Laurel meeting so that it can be properly researched. The eagle's wing, blazoned on the LoI as "a white-tailed (Haliaeetus albicila) eagle's wing", can more simply be blazoned as a brown eagle's wing, since it is colored in entirely brown on the emblazon form.
