AN TIR
Avacal, Principality of. Order name for the Order of the Gilded Griffin.
Catríona nic Theàrlaigh. Device change. Per bend sinister vert and azure, a bend sinister wavy argent.
Her former device Vert, an increscent between three mullets Or., is hereby released.
Caversgate, Shire of. Device. Sable, a gate within and conjoined to a stone archway within a laurel wreath Or.
Coeur du Val, Shire of. Device change. Or, a heart gules within a laurel wreath vert, a chief wavy azure goutty d’eau.
Please inform the group that it would be better with fewer and larger gouttes. Their former device Or, a heart gules within a laurel wreath vert on a chief wavy azure a cloud distilling three gouttes argent., is hereby released.
David Visdelu le Wrothe. Name.
Eleanor of Leycestershyre. Device. Purpure, a phoenix Or rising from flames gules, on a chief Or three suns in splendor purpure.
A possible conflict was called against Brianna Healfseaxe Purpure, a phoenix Or enflamed argent, on a chief Or, a seax reversed blade to chief purpure. There is a CD for the changes to the charge(s) on the chief, and another for the change of tincture of the flames. Just as we give a CD for difference in the tincture of the wings of a flying monster, we give one for the difference in the tincture of the flames of a phoenix.
Fabienne l’Accusée. Name and device. Per saltire azure and sable, a stag springing contourny argent and issuant from base a demi-sun Or.
Gabriel Mousebane. Name.
This was an appeal of a Laurel return of January 1998. The submitter has provided a reasonable case for the combination of mouse and body parts, animal type and bane, and this spelling of bane. While we do not believe that the submitter is truly trying for a name that means mouse legs, since it meets our criteria for documentation and we are registering it.
Gabrielle Lepinay. Name and device. Per bend sinister gules and sable, a rabbit rampant argent, in chief a rapier fesswise proper.
Hlutwige Wolfkiller. Badge. Per pale Or and vert, on a roundel per pale embowed counter-embowed vert and Or two scorpions in annulo counterchanged.
Jacques Louis de Normandie. Device. Per saltire sable and azure, on a Latin cross formy argent, a fleur-de-lys sable.
Madrone, Barony of. Badge. (Fieldless) A madrone tree eradicated gules, leaved vert, overall a bow fesswise Or.
Morin Kytte Lauman. Name and device. Argent, a unicorn rampant sable and on a chief azure a plate between an increscent and a decrescent argent.
Found on the LoI as Morren Lauman, it had been submitted as Morren Kytte Lauman, and the middle element was dropped in kingdom because it was felt to be inappropriate. The LoI attempted to document Morren as a given name, based on its usage as a period byname. However, we do not see any evidence in the cited documentation to show that Morren could be a variant of Morin. The suffix -in does not seem to appear in documents as -en. And, on p. 187 of Reaney and Wilson under the name Geffen is a discussion of the suffix -en. "The suffix is added to pet-forms of French personal names common among the peasants . . ." Examples given are Jacken, Kytten, Nicken, Tommen, Watten. More is of French origin, according to Reaney and Wilson p. 313 under Moor. It is not clear that it was common among the peasants, but there is certainly no pet-form shorter than More. This allows a hypothetical Moren, possibly a hypothetical Morren, but with the documented name Morin already in existence, it seems unlikely. Kytte can be found on p. 267 under Kitt with Kytte the Soper dated to 1286, Roger son of Kytt dated 1297. Kytte documented as a pet form of Christopher and Katharine and also as an occupational name. Lauman can be documented as a personal name or an occupational name. Therefore, this could be either Morin son of Kytte, lawman or Morin son of Kytte son of Lauman.
Rhonwen McBride. Badge. (Fieldless) A hawk’s lure argent.
Richard Armistead. Name.
Seamus Ruadh. Name (see RETURNS for device).
Seumas Camshronach an Lochabair. Badge. Sable, a chamfron Or enflamed proper.
Síle nic Chionaodha. Name and device. Vert, two chevronels and in chief a cat’s face Or, a bordure counter-compony Or and azure.
Simon von der Eisenhandlung. Household name and badge for Haus zur Roten Wage. (Fieldless) A hanging balance gules.
Simon von der Eisenhandlung. Device reblazon. Paly bendy argent and sable a hanging balance gules.
We have reblazoned his device which was registered July 1992 in order to have a more accurate blazon.
Sterling de Seincler. Name and device. Vert goutty d’eau, a winged unicorn passant argent.
Thomas Bowyer of Whiteparish. Name and device. Or, a bull passant sable, on a chief gules an arrow reversed Or.
THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN RETURNED FOR FURTHER WORK:
AN TIR
Catriona Stiubhard. Device. Per pale embowed counterembowed argent and sable, two natural dolphins naiant in annulo counterchanged.
This is being returned for a redraw. As drawn the embowing-counterembowing is barely noticeable. It needs to be far more pronounced.
Kathern Thomas Gyelle Spence. Device change. Per chevron pointed with a Linden leaf sable and vert.
The submitter has provided examples from Siedmacher’s 1605 Wappenbuch of armory that could be blazoned Per chevron ployé pointed with a linden leaf argent and gules., and Per bend Or and sable with trefoils counterposed and issuant from the center of the line., thereby showing period evidence for this motif. However, all exemplars provided used difference tincture classes for each half of the field.
This design motif is essentially a divided field with leaves as counterchanged charges. Therefore, this submission violates the Rule of Tincture. Barring period evidence of this motif using two tinctures from the same class, it can only be used in the SCA with tinctures from the different classes.
Rhiannon Makreury. Name.
This conflicts with Rhiannon ny Rory. The change in the format of the patronymic is not worth any difference.
Sarasi Candrah. Device. Per fess and per bend sinister wavy azure and ermine, on a roundel counterchanged an increscent double enarched sable.
While both the field (because she has it on her currently registered device) and the increscent double enarched (because there is one on her mother's badge) are grandfathered to the submitter, the combination is not necessarily grandfathered. While it is true her original submission has a tertiary charge that overlies the line of division, the mullet in that case is quite small, and the increscent in this submission is very large. The combination of the unusual field with the unusual charge overlying the line of division, means this must be returned for unidentifiability.
Seamus Ruadh. Device. Gules, ermined Or.
This is being returned because Gules, ermined Or. is a plain tincture, and we do not register plain tinctures. RfS X.4.a.ii(b) says "The ermine furs and their variants are considered to be different tinctures..."
