FROM LIONS BLOOD HERALD
Greetings from Teceangl.
As this is a rather large IL this month, I'm not going to be as verbose
as usual. I can hear you sighing already (yeah, right).
To start, another common misconception of heraldry addressed in a Laurel
precedent, or why "an increscent, a roundel, and a decrescent" isn't slot
machine heraldry:
Turning a charge to sinister does not change its type, either technically or visually. These [charges] are identical charges for the purposes of Rule X.4.j.ii. (Briana Morgan of the Valley, July, 1992, pg. 3)
On documentation of submissions:
Lions Blood is receiving too many submissions without documentation in
the packet which are then supplemented, by the submitter or his herald,
after having been placed on the IL. This does not allow the College
of Heralds time to review this documentation before the decision is made
to send the submission to Laurel or not. If this trend continues I
will begin pending submissions which receive additional documentation after
submission for another two months to give the College a chance to see all
the relevant information in order to present informed commentary.
I would much prefer that submissions be received with all appropriate
documentation instead. Take an extra couple of weeks and do all of
the research before submitting and save your clients another two month delay
out of the already minimum 7 month submission process.
Summarized from the Cover Letter to the December 2001 LoAR:
From Pelican: Changes to the Registerability of the name Briana
(Read the Cover Letter for the whole story, or ask me for a copy and
I'll supply it. - Teceangl)
So, the summary of changes to the registerability status of the name
Briana is:
Results from the LoAR dated December 2001 (see the LoAR for full
text):

the wingtips of a vol a roundel argent.
Kateryn Lishman. Name and device. Gules, on a bend invected

to make this name authentic.

The following names and armory have been sent to
Laurel (February LoI)--
| Ariadne Leonida |
Name and Device, New
|
| Argent, a Greek sphinx rampant azure
winged sable. |
|
| The wings were non-standard, but we
didn't consider them unregisterable. |
|
| Brynach ap Rhys |
Name and Device, New
|
| Argent, a dragon salient gules and
on a chief engrailed sable a comet argent. |
|
| Johannes Vagus |
Device, Resubmission to Kingdom
|
| Gyronny of sixteen argent and sable,
a salamander statant regardant gules enflamed Or and a bordure counterchanged
sable and Or. |
|
| While X.2. isn't precisely clear on
whether maintained charges count against the "two types of charge", a salamander's
flames are part of its defining traits, so this was an X.2.-qualified armory.
It was asked if all the flames were Or, and if so did this violate the Rule
of Tincture. They were, and it does not, as the half argent and half
sable field is neutral, and may hold charges of either tincture class so
long as the charges do not match either of the field tinctures. As
every flame is Or and half fall on the high-contrast sable traits of the
gyronny field, this is legal. |
|
| Pariselle Chouet |
Device, New
|
| Bendy sinister and per bend azure
and ermine counterchanged. |
|
| Someone asked if field-only armory is
legal. It is. Single-tincture armory (including furs) is what
is not allowed for registration. Once a field is divided, it ceases
to be single-tincture. |
|
| Richard Falconer |
Name and Device, New
|
| Quarterly azure and vert, a cross
gules fimbriated and in canton a falcon Or. |
|
| It was asked if this has the appearance
of marshalling. Since there are identical charges on the field, the
cross throughout and a falcon, it does not. Had there been a second
type of charge in the secondary charge group, this would have had problems
with XI., but a single charge in canton counts as "identical charges over
the entire field". |
|
| Roscelin Silversmith-doghter |
Device, New
|
| Azure, on a pale between two annulets
argent a carnation gules slipped and leaved vert. |
|
| The submitter's name was registered
in March 2000. This is clear of Giant's Gate, Canton of, April of
1984 (via the East): Azure, on a pale endorsed between two annulets argent,
a laurel wreath proper, with 1 CD for the addition of the endorsing
and a second for the changes to the tertiary charge. |
|
| Tressach mac Domnaill |
Name New
|
| Domnaill isn't lenited, it's in the
genitive. Lions Blood gets those mixed up. |
|
| Wilrich von Hessen |
Name and Device, New
|
| Per chevron Or and azure, two tau
crosses and a horse rampant counterchanged. |
|
| Submitted as Wilrich von Hesse, the
byname was changed to the correct German spelling of the region's name.
The per chevron line was drawn a bit too high, but not fatally so, therefore
we shall inform the submitter to draw the field division further down on
the shield in future. |
|
| Wulfgang von Bremen |
Name and Device, New
|
| Sable goutty argent, on a chief embattled
Or a dragon couchant gules. |
|
| Commenters were concerned about blazoning
the exact number of gouttes, or that the arrangement on this device wasn't
acceptably semy. Heralds don't count like the rest of society.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, semy. Any number over 5 can be semy. There are
two different schools of semy arrangement, as well. One is what I
call "gift wrap" or "wallpaper" where the design is regular throughout the
armory and overlain by all the other charges, often cutting off under the
edge of other charges and at the edge of the field. The other is lain
down after the other charges, so that random parts of the semy group appear
in opportune spaces on the field. Either is equally valid. The
semy of gouttes on Wulfgang's field can be considered to be a slight variant
on the wallpaper style, but without and gouttes at the edge of the field.
Ten charges in western European heraldry default to four, three, two and
one arrangement, but semy is an equally valid way of blazoning the same thing,
and as the submitter blazoned his gouttes semy Lions Blood feels most comfortable
leaving things as the submitter wishes. |
|
The following have been returned for further work-
| Meryld Godewyn of Kent | Device, New |
| Argent, a columbine gules slipped and leaved vert. | |
| This had a few problems. First, it wasn't the
standard heraldic columbine (please try to convince submitters to use heraldic
flora forms for clarity if at all possible), though that wasn't fatal.
Conflicts were found with Frances la Rouge - October of 1981
(via Atenveldt): Argent, a meadow-beauty, blossom pendant, gules, slipped
and leaved, within a bordure sable, and Susanna Fairfax, December of
1971 (via the West): Argent, a sprig of three copihues proper
[Lapageria rosea]. Against Frances there is a CD for the removal of the bordure, but a meadow-beauty pendant is very much link this rendition of a columbine, so not enough difference exists for a type CD. Against Susanna there is a CD for number of blossoms, but a copihue has almost no visual difference from a columbine. A good picture exists at http://www.lapageria.com for the curious. Slipping and leaving on a flower is usually not worth difference. If the slip is large enough to be worth difference from just a flower, it'll be blazoned as a slip or sprig which is flowered. The question was raised on how ermine fares against argent for purposes of difference. Laurel has ruled that the ermine furs (including nonstandard variants such as azure ermined argent) are single tinctures, and therefore completely different from all other tinctures. |
|
| Tressach mac Domnaill | Device, New |
| Per bend sable and gules a bend wavy Or and in sinister chief a dogwood blossom argent. | |
| There were artistic problems with this. First
off, the miniature and line drawing emblazons did not match the full-sized
color emblazons. Lions Blood insists that there be no variations between
the renditions because the College of Heralds and the College of Arms only
see the line drawing miniature, the Lions Blood meeting attendees may see
all three, but Laurel meetings only see the full-color full size, so it
is imperative that they all match down to the smallest detail. Secondly,
the bend was too narrow and the dogwood blossom appeared to some as four
hearts in cross rather than a single charge. Because a complex field
division line cannot be covered by a charge, this is per bend rather than
per bend wavy, and therefore the bend needed to be wide enough to totally
cover the division line. It wasn't, particularly in the deeper waves. [Note from Lions Blood - the submitter has already resubmitted and the device you will see on the April IL is a perfect rendition of the design. Compare the two when you get your IL to see what I'm talking about here.] |
|
NEW SUBMISSIONS:
| 1. Alexander of Maldon |
(Aquaterra) |
Name and Device, New |
| Quarterly gules and sable,

name. If the name must be changed, he cares more about the sound of
the name. The submitter desires a male name, but specifies no time
period, language, and/or culture for which he desires the name be authentic.
He will allow the creation of a holding name. Alexander is cited from Withycombe's Oxford Dictionary of English Christian Names, 3rd edition, as a header spelling. The spelling submitted is dated to 1189, 1273, 1284, and 1316. Maldon is cited from Ekwall's Oxford Dictionary of English Place Names under the subheading "Malden".

||
| 2. Andreu Recheles |

Device, Resubmission to Kingdom |
| Per fess Or and gules,
a winged rat couchant and a wagon wheel counterchanged.
|
||
| The submitter's name was registered in March 2000.

(Glymm Mere) |
Name and Device, Resubmission to
Kingdom |

and she will allow the creation of a holding name. The submitter's
previously submitted name, Anneke Valfridsdotter, was returned because
there was no documentation for Anneke in period, and the construction of
the byname was problematic. The device, identical to this one, was
otherwise clear, but had to be returned for lack of a name. Anna is documented using a printed copy of the website "Swedish Feminine Names from ca. 1300" by Lindorm Eriksson (Christer Romson) found online at http://www.sca.org/heraldry/names/swedish1300female.htm .

Starfish is "found as a header on pg. 532 of Vol XVI of the O.E.D. dated to 1538 Elyot Dict. stella 'Sterre also a sterrefyshe' and to 1611 Cotgr Abre Marih' the greatest of Starre-fishes." |

(Aquaterra) |
Alternate Name, New |

Elsbet is documented as a form of Elizabeth found in Germany. "Forms of Elizabeth were found through Germany in your period… In High German dialects, the name is Elizabeth, Elisabeth , Elsebeth, or Elsbet… Some instances of the first two forms may be documentary, i.e. they were conventional Latin forms rather than vernacular forms." The report cites several references with names and dates.

Jahrhunderts (Basel: Helbing and Lichtenhan, 1903). Brunnen is documented as a form of Attewell in High German. "…in the late 15th and 16th century, we would expect to see the simpler surname Brunnen, Brunner, and Borne."

The reference states "Gabriel was used as a woman's name as well as a man's name in the Middle Ages." Méricourt is cited from Dauzat's Dictionnaire étymologique des noms de lieux en France, p. 451. The submitter indicates it is a header spelling, but provides no date. |
||
| 17. Geneviève de Bretagne | (Aquaterra) | Name and Device, New |
| Per fess vert and gules,
three leaves and a moon in her compliment argent
. |
||
| The submitter will only accept minor changes to the
