Atenveldt Submissions (excerpted from the S.C.A. College of Arms' Letters of Acceptance and Return)
The following submissions were registered by the S.C.A. College of Arms, May 2012:
Adelaide is dated to 16th century France in the Letter of Intent. The name is also plausible in medieval English. The Latin spellings Adalhaidis and Adalheidis are both used, as is the vernacular spelling Adaleide. This is sufficient to give the submitter the benefit of the doubt regarding the plausibility of this spelling at an earlier time.
Aida Ysabella Lacarra de Navarra. Name. Aida is the submitter's legal given name.
Caoilfhionn inghean ui Mhaoil Ruanaidh. Device. Azure, a half-moon knife argent handled of wood proper and a chief engrailed Or.
Catharine O Cahane of Renfrewshire. Name.
Dalfina Lacarra de Navarra. Name. This name mixes a Catalan given name with Spanish bynames. Under the Rules for Submissions this is a step from period practice. Under the Standards for Evaluation, this is an allowable lingual mix under the standards of Appendix C (in fact, all elements come from a single regional naming group).
Eilina Elfska. Name and device. Per bend sinister argent and gules, a rose gules barbed vert seeded and three hearts argent. Appearing on the Letter of Intent as Eilina elfska, the name was submitted as Eilina Elfski. When kingdom feminized the byname, they made it lowercase, which was not necessary. First, last month, we ruled that it was not necessary to change Norse descriptive bynames to be completely lowercase. Second, this byname is a locative byname; even older precedent allowed bynames derived from proper names to be uppercase. We have restored the capitalization to the byname. Under the Rules for Submissions, this device may be in conflict with the device of Torquil McLeod, Per bend sinister argent and gules, a bull's head cabossed and a heart counterchanged. There is certainly one CD for changing the number of primary charges. There may or may not be a CD for changing the type of the chiefmost charge from a bull's head to a rose, but fortunately we needn't debate the conflict. Under the Standards for Evaluation, this device is not in conflict with Torquil's device, as there is a substantial difference for changing the number of primary charges from two to four, per A5E3.
Hopkyn Blaidd Du. Badge. (Fieldless) A cross formy sable winged Or.
Huweyn ap Deiniol. Name and device. Quarterly vert and argent, a cross of chain of square links between in bend sinister two millrinds fesswise sable. Deiniol is a header form in Morgan and Morgan, who make it clear that it is a period borrowing of Daniel. The more common spelling in period is Deinioel; however, either is registerable.
Irene Murdoch Fockxworth. Reblazon of device. Per chevron azure and Or, two fox's heads erased addorsed argent and a fleur-de-lys vert. Blazoned when registered in September 1984 as Per chevron azure and Or, two foxes' heads erased and addorsed argent, in base a fleur-de-lis vert, we are clarifying that this is a group of co-primary charges.
James O Callan. Release of name.
James O Callan. Transfer of device to Milana Lancia. Per pale vert and Or, a vol and in chief a tricune counterchanged.
Jasper Kopec. Name and device. Sable, a serpent erect tail nowed and on a chief Or a lightning bolt sable. Kopec was documented as part of the submitter's (hyphenated) legal surname. Normally, we require the entire name phrase to be used in the legal name allowance. Hyphenated surnames are a special case, as they inevitably represent two distinct family names rather than a single name phrase. Thus, the name phrase on either side of a hyphenated surname is eligible for the legal name allowance. The byname Kopec is also constructable as a late period Polish byname. Jasper was justified as a late period German given name. Under the Rules for Submissions, this combination is a step from period practice. Under the Standards for Evaluation, this is an allowable lingual mix under the standards in Appendix C. There is a step from period practice for the use of a lightning bolt not as part of a thunderbolt.
Jonat Kerr. Name and badge (see RETURNS for device). (Fieldless) A winged turtle sable. Nice late period Scots name! Please advise the submitter to draw internal detailing on the winged turtle, to aid in its identification.
Justin du Roc. Reblazon of device. Per bend sinister azure and counter-ermine, in dexter chief an Arabian roc volant to sinister, wings addorsed argent, maintaining in its talons an elephant proper. Blazoned when registered in August 1980 as Per bend sinister azure and counter-ermine, in dexter chief an Arabian roc counter-volant, wings addorssed, argent grasping in its talons an elephant statant proper, we are updating the blazon to current terminology.
Justin du Roc. Reblazon of augmentation. Per bend sinister azure and counter-ermine, in dexter chief an Arabian roc volant to sinister, wings addorsed argent, maintaining in its talons an elephant proper and for augmentation, on an escutcheon per pale argent and azure a sun in splendor Or. Blazoned when corrected in February 1997 as Per bend sinister azure and counter-ermine, in dexter chief an Arabian roc volant to sinister, wings addorsed argent grasping in its talons an elephant statant proper, in augmentation on an escutcheon per pale argent and azure a sun in splendor Or, we are specifying the elephant as a maintained charge.
Kane du Roc. Name and device. Per bend sinister azure and counter-ermine, in dexter chief an Arabian roc volant to sinister, wings addorsed argent, maintaining in its talons an elephant proper, overall a label Or. Kane is the submitter's legal given name; it is also justifiable as a late period English masculine given name, as the family name Kane is dated to the 16th century and there is a pattern of creating given names from family names. The byname was documented as his father's registered byname, but no evidence for the grandfather clause was included. Luckily Dolphin was able to date the byname to 1636, and Green Staff was able to date it in some spelling to the 15th century. Therefore, this name can be registered as submitted. Kane has permission to conflict with the device of Justin du Roc, reblazoned elsewhere on this letter as Per bend sinister azure and counter-ermine, in dexter chief an Arabian roc volant to sinister, wings addorsed argent, maintaining in its talons an elephant proper. Please advise the submitter to draw the elephant a bit larger, so it can be more easily identified.
Katherine Maniske a' Nynetails. Reblazon of device. Per pale sable and gules, a thunderbolt and on a chief embattled Or a cat statant contourny defamed reguardant sable. Blazoned when registered in May 1997 as Per pale sable and gules, a thunderbolt and on a chief embattled Or a cat statant contourny reguardant sable, the fact that the cat has no tail is important to the submitter.
Submitted as Leonora de l'étoile, the byname de l'Estoile appears in the 1292 Paris census. The form Etoile is a documented (though uncommon) late period spelling, but we have not found evidence that the spelling étoile was used in period. We have therefore changed the byname to the documented etoile in order to register it. This name mixes an Italian given name and a French byname. This is a step from period practice under the Rules for submissions. It is an allowable lingual mix under Appendix C of the Standards for Evaluation.
Milana Lancia. Acceptance of device transfer from James O Callan. Per pale vert and Or, a vol and in chief a tricune counterchanged.
Portia Lacarra de Navarra. Name. Portia is the submitter's legal given name. Aryanhwy merch Catmael was able to date the element as a feminine given name in Italy in 1621. The bynames are late period Spanish. The combination of Italian and Spanish is a step from period practice under the Rules for Submissions and an allowable lingual mix under Appendix C of the Standards for Evaluation.
Renzo di Ilario di Federigo Venturius. Name change from Reynier de Vriere. Appearing on the Letter of Intent as Renzo di Ilario di Rederigo Venturius, the forms and documentation give the second patronymic as Federigo. We have changed the name to match the submitted form.The submitter requested authenticity for 16th century Italy. The Latinized family name in an otherwise vernacular name is not the most likely form, but commenters were able to find shorter names with equivalent combinations of vernacular and Latinized forms.The submitter's previous name, Reynier de Vriere, is retained as an alternate name.
Tetinka Ribbing. Device. Or goutty de sang, on a point pointed azure a linden leaf Or.
Úlfr vafri. Name (see RETURNS for device). The byname vafri is a constructed Old Norse byname meaning something like "wanderer." It can be justified by the identical slightly later Old Swedish byname and the Old Norse given name that takes that form.
William of Lochridge. Name and device. Argent, a bear dormant contourny gules and a ford proper.
The following submissions were returned by the College of Arms May 2012 for further work:
Jonat Kerr. Device. Or, a chevron disjoint gules between two spur rowels and a winged turtle sable. This device is returned for using a chevron disjoint, a charge no longer registerable in the SCA: “Given only two prior SCA registrations, and the fact that the earliest documentary evidence outside the SCA for the charge dates from the last half of the Seventeenth Century, we feel that we need more support for the chevron disjoint as a period or at least SCA-compatible charge before we register it again. [Cecille Marie Gabryell Geneviève du Mont, R-Atenveldt, Oct 1995 LoAR]” Please advise the submitter, upon resubmission, to draw internal detailing on the winged turtle, to aid in its identification.
Morgan Donner. Device. Gules ermined, a threaded needle and a bordure, all argent. This device is returned for conflict with the device of Ursula Johanna Silbernagel, Purpure, a needle argent threaded Or, a bordure argent. There is one difference for the change of field, but the thread is considered a maintained charge and does not count for difference under either the Rules for Submissions or the Standards for Evaluation.
Úlfr vafri. Device. Sable, a wolf passant contourny sustaining in its mouth a sword argent. This device is returned for conflict with the device of Guillaume, le Chien Blanc, Sable, a Samoyed dog counter-statant proper and a chief argent. Under both the Rules for Submissions and the Standards for Evaluation, there is one CD/DC for changing the type of the secondary charge, but nothing else. |
