Atenveldt Submissions (excerpted from the S.C.A. College of Arms' Letters of Acceptance and Return)

ATENVELDT REGISTRATIONS by the College of Arms, May 2006:

 

Amy Marie MacCormack. Device change. Per chevron inverted vert and purpure, a chevron inverted embattled on the upper edge and in base a spaniel statant Or.

While a chevron embattled is embattled only on the upper edge, it is unclear which edge is embattled with a chevron inverted embattled. The fact that the chevron inverted is embattled only on the upper edge should be specified. Please advise the submitter to draw the line of division so that the field is more evenly divided.

Her previous device, Per chevron inverted vert and purpure, a chevron inverted embattled-counterembattled Or between a harp argent and a spaniel statant Or, is released

Annalies Katerina Schneider. Device. Per pale azure and argent, a tree blasted and eradicated and a chief dovetailed counterchanged.

Aron von Reichenstein. Name and device. Per pale azure and gules, a griffin Or between three Maltese crosses argent.

Clea de Húnedoara. Reblazon of badge. Argent, a brunette sirin harpy statant guardant to sinister proper within a bordure engrailed purpure.

Registered in June 1987 with the blazon Argent, a sirin harpy statant guardant to sinister proper within a bordure engrailed purpure, this is being reblazoned to more accurately represent the sirin harpy's tinctures. The Pictorial Dictionary defines a sirin harpy as "a benign creature from Russian legend, with the body of a partridge; its proper coloration is brownish grey, with the human parts pink." The plumage of the sirin harpy in this badge isn't really brownish-grey; it is a mixture of brown, grey and purple with none predominating. As this cannot be properly blazoned, Morsulus is asked to note the tinctures with the O&A entry.

Edward de Foxton. Name (see RETURNS for device).

Elaria filia Robert. Name.

Finbarr Mathgamain mac Conchobair. Badge. (Fieldless) A claymore inverted proper, the blade surmounted by a tower sable.

Johann Wolfgang von Hesse. Badge. Per bend sinister vert and Or, a bend sinister counterchanged between a tower argent and a fox sejant sable.

The badge form indicates that this is a jointly held badge but does not indicate a co-owner. The form also indicates that the badge is to be associated with Rogue Haven; however, that household name is not registered. We have registered this as a personal badge.

Katharina von Marburg. Name.

Marta as-tu Mika-Mysliwy. Reblazon of badge. Or, a brunette sirin harpy statant guardant to sinister proper within a bordure engrailed vert.

Registered in August 1982 to Clea de Húnedoara with the blazon Or, a sirin harpy statant guardant to sinister proper within a bordure engrailed vert, this was transferred to Marta in June 1987. It is being reblazoned to more accurately represent the sirin harpy's tinctures. The Pictorial Dictionary defines a sirin harpy as "a benign creature from Russian legend, with the body of a partridge; its proper coloration is brownish grey, with the human parts pink." The plumage of the sirin harpy in this badge isn't brownish-grey; it is a mixture of brown and sable with neither predominating. As this cannot be properly blazoned, Morsulus is asked to note the tinctures with the O&A entry.

Mary Rose de Burgon. Device. Argent, two peacock feathers in pile, tips crossed, proper and a chief vert.

Romanos Koresses. Name and device. Or, a Latin cross flory azure charged with a cross couped argent.

Romanus Rodrigo. Name.

 

 

ATENVELDT RETURNS by the College of Arms, May 2006:

 

Edward de Foxton. Device. Per bend sinister vert and purpure, a bend sinister argent cotised with chains throughout Or between a sheaf of three swords, the center one inverted, and a fox rampant contourny argent.

This device is returned for non-period style. No evidence was presented, nor were we able to find any, that cotising with chains is a period heraldic practice. There are period examples of saltires of chains and escarbuncles of chains, thus cotises of chain are a step from period practice. This has a complexity count of eight, with four types of charges and four tinctures. With the inversion of only one of the swords in the sheaf of swords, the complexity count and cotises of chain push this over the boundary of acceptable style. This is returned under RfS VIII, "All elements of a piece of armory must be arranged into a design that is compatible with period armorial style, as is required by General Principle 1b of these rules." Fixing any one of these problems - by removing the chains, reducing the complexity count, or having all of the swords either inverted or not inverted - would allow this armory to be registered (barring other style problems or conflict).

Hrefna Gandalfsdottir. Device. Per saltire vert and argent, a raven close sable.

This device is returned for conflict with Serlo of Litchfield, Gyronny gules and Or, a vulture close sable. There is a single CD for changes to the field. Precedent states "Until such time as it can be demonstrated that there is 'some visual difference' between a vulture and a raven when used in heraldry, no difference will be given between these charges. [Brand Björnsson, 11/02, R-Meridies]". There is thus not a CD for changing the primary charge.

This does not conflict with Dafydd Wallraven, Per fess argent and purpure masoned argent, in chief a raven close sable. There is a CD for changes to the field. As Dafydd's raven is not forced to chief, there is another CD for arrangement.
