And now, ON WITH THE SHOW! 

 

1) Angharad Rhos Tewdwr of Pembroke. (F) Device Change. Azure, a rogacina przekrzyzowana i rozdata argent.

(Greyhope)

{Name reg’d:12/95}

Unusual charge is unique to Polish heraldry. Documentation for charge:

Polish Nobility and Its Heraldry: An Introduction by Piotr Pawel Bajer online at http://www.szlachta.org/heraldry.htm#18 Illustration #18.7 (link way down at the bottom)

Example of charge found in An Armorial of Knights of the Golden Fleece and 15th Century Europe, by R. Pinches &A. Wood, London, 1971 online at http://www.szlachta.org/baj1_22.htm  

specifically, the oldest form of the arms of the Silesian Wierzbno clan and arms of the Kosciesza clan.

If device change is passed client would like her prior device (Or, on a chevron dovetailed counter-dovetailed between three roundels azure three trident heads Or. reg’d 12/95) changed to a badge.

[Esct. Comment: Yes this is mine. I don’t believe this charge has been registered before hence the documentation. It makes a really nifty maker’s mark J]

 

Reblazon: Azure, a rogacina forked in base crossed fesswise argent. 

 

Device Commentary:

Aelfreda & Mikhail: Device: Although it is a unique charge, the primary resembles an arrow inverted. As such, there is possible conflict with Sten av Norden (reg 9/73) "Azure, an arrow inverted demi-barbed to sinister argent". 

Knute: Although reminiscent of cypher heraldry, the evidence of it's armorial existence should make this symbol acceptable. Since this does have an independent heraldic identity, it can appear alone on a field, despite the fact that does look like a symbol.

Clear 

Konrad: Looks like great period armory. As long I never have to read the blazon aloud I like it. 

Fenix: POSSIBLE CONFLICTS - PROBABLY A LAUREL DECISION

We considered that this charge may resemble an arrow under RfS X.5: 

Name: Gad Waldbär

Type of Registration: Badge/Misc. Armory

Kingdom of Registration: West Date of Registration: 02/91

Blazon/Notes: Azure, a winged arrow fesswise, point to dexter, wings elevated and addorsed, argent.

1 diffence for orientation X.4.h

1 diff for adding wings per precedent "[winged boars vs. boars] There is one CD for the number of boars and another for removing the wings: [A winged wolf]

Conflict with ... a wolf ... there is only one CVD for adding the wings (LoAR October 1991 p.16). [Ruaidhri ua Ceallaigh, 09/01, A-Calontir]" 

Name: Caid, Kingdom of

Type of Registration: Badge/Misc. Armory

Kingdom of Registration: Caid Date of Registration: 07/89

Blazon/Notes: Azure, an arrow between in fess two crescents argent.

Notes: (For the Order of the Argent Arrow) 

If we say that Angharad's charge is not significantly different from an arrow, then this badge has only one difference, the addition of the crescents. The blazon sounds like the crescents are secondaries, not part of the primary group. 

Name: Sten av Norden

Type of Registration: Badge/Misc. Armory

Kingdom of Registration: Date of Registration: 09/73

Blazon/Notes: Azure, an arrow inverted demi-barbed to sinister argent. 

If we say that Angharad's charge is not significantly different from an arrow, are you up to giving a second difference for "demi-barbed" vs. "with a cross-bar?" 

Escutcheon notes that the charge has not previously been used in registered armory. Regretfully, we note that the text of the document at http://www.szlachta.org/heraldry.htm#18 indicates that the rogacina przekrzyzowana i rozdarta is a uniquely Polish charge. 

Barring registration under RfS VIII.6.B, we fear that the device may be returnable under RfS VII.7.B. One might conceivably call it "an arrow with a cross-bar," however it is worthy of note that the author of the referenced paper

suggests that proper reproduction of the emblazon from the blazon requires expansion of the heraldic dictionary. We presume that the submittor has explicitly requested an exception under RfS VIII.6.B. 

Angharad: I would like to add some additional information on this charge. The main charge name is "rogacina" it resembles an "up" pointing arrow. There are several variants on the basic rogacina, a rogacina przekrzyzowana has a single cross bar on the lower portion of the arrow (a rogacina crossed fesswise), a rogacina dwukrotnie przekrzyzowana has two crossbars (a rogacina crossed fesswise twice), and my variant, a rogacina przekrzyzowana i rozdata, can also be described as: a rogacina forked in base crossed fesswise. In the interest of poor scribes who don't speak Polish, a better blazon would be: Azure, a rogacina forked in base crossed fesswise argent.

 

{) Artemas de Grimsby. (M) Device Resubmission. Chequy sable and gules, three lion heads erased contourny Or.

(Terre Haute)

{Name reg’d:09/01}

This design is exactly the same as his previous ones, which were returned by Rouge Scarpe on 8/00 and 05/01 for poor contrast.  

Once again this submission is going to be returned under RfS XIII.2.b.iv, for poor contrast. Perhaps a third letter of return will convince the client that he needs to make some changes. 

 

Device Commentary:

A & M: Device: Comparing the mini with the previous submission's mini, the checks have been drawn larger. The submitter, however, has not resolved the issue with poor contrast of the field (checky of two colors not allowed). Return it again. 

Ary: Boing again... *sigh* 

Fenix: DEVICE RETURNABLE 

Yup, this is poor contrast under RfS XIII.2.b.iv. This will need to be returned.

Perhaps we could recommend Chequy gules and argent, three lion heads erased contourny Or.

I'm not showing a conflict for this. 

Knute: RfS VIII.2.b.iv. Elements evenly divided into multiple parts of two different tinctures must have good contrast between their parts. For example, checky argent and gules is acceptable, but checky azure and gules is not.  

Sable and gules do not have good contrast.

Clear for any legal fields except azure, erminois, and per chevron sable and gules.

Return for violating RfS VIII.2.b.iv. 

Konrad: From it's last return: 5/01

{This design is exactly the same as his previous one, which was returned by Rouge Scarpe on 8/00 for poor contrast. To quote RfS VIII.2.b.iv Good Contrast: "Elements divided into multiple parts of two different tinctures must have good contrast between their parts. For example, checky argent and gules is acceptable, but checky azure and gules is not." By parity of reasoning, 'Checky sable and gules' is also poor contrast.} 

This is still a problem. It makes me wonder if the client understands why it is being returned (other than heralds are all evil and don't like him) or is just stubborn.} 

 

3) Deirdre inghen ui Bardáin. (F) New Name {and Device. Purpure, a harp Or, surrounded by three acorns argent.}

(Starleaf Gate)

[Deirdre]~ E.G. Withycombe-Dictionary of English Christian Names.

[Bardáin]~Donnchadh O Corráin, Fidelma Maguire-Irish Names-2nd Ed.,1997 p.29 s.n. [Barddán, Barddéne: Bardán]

[inghen ui]~ “daughter of”

The “daughter of” is most important to the client. She does not wish to be “Deirdre the Bard” but “Deirdre daughter of the Bard”. As she only cares about the meaning, she will accept any spelling variant of [Bardáin]. 

 

This lovely Device is being returned for conflict with the SCA Ministry of Arts, Purpure, an Irish harp Or. There is only 1CD for the addition of the acorns. 

Name Commentary:

Ary: There is no evidence that <Deirdre> was used by real people any time before 1600. However, it is SCA-compatible, per the 03/98 LoAR. I'm *very* glad she was articulate about what meaning she wants, because she doesn't have it right now! <inghen uí Bardáin> (which should actually be <inghean>...) means "female member of the Ó Bardáin clan". <Bardán> per OCM s.n. Barddán does derive from the same word as <bard>, but when used as a personal name, that meaning would have had no bearer on the person's actual characteristics. For a byname meaning "daughter of a bard," she'll want <inghean an Bháird>. MacLysaght s.n. (Mac) Ward says that "<Ward> is a common ENglish name, but nearly all Irish Wards are <mac an Bháird> 'son of the bard', the name of two noted bardic septs." 

Fenix: "Dierdre" is SCA-compatible. See Deirdre inghean Dhomhnaill mhic Maidecc,

December, 2000. 

Name: Deirdre O'Bardon

Type of Registration: Primary Personal Name

Kingdom of Registration: East Date of Registration: 02/92 

This name is different in sound and appearance, RfS V.1.a, with the addition of "inghen." We discussed the applicability of RfS V.1.a.ii.a. It appears that O'Bardon is a surname in this englished name and not a byname of

relationship. 

 

Device Commentary:

A&M Device: Conflict with SCA Ministry of Arts (reg 1/73) "Purpure, an Irish harp Or." There is one CD for addition of the secondaries. 

Ary: The arms conflict with Society for Creative Anachronism, Arts, Ministry of (reg. 01/73), "Purpure, an Irish harp Or." There is one CD for adding the acorns. Blazon-fu: "Purpure, a harp Or between three acorns argent." Conflict also with Gwenhwyvar Telynores (reg. 01/99 via the East), "Purpure, in pall a harp between three increscents argent," with one CD for changing the crescents to acorns.

Badge Commentary:

Ary: This conflicts with Tearlach na Drochaide (reg. 09/97 via AEthelmearc), "(Fieldless) An acorn argent." There is one CD for the field. "Purpure, an acorn inverted argent" looks to be clear.

References taken from “A Dictionary of Period Russian Names” by Paul Wickenden of Thanet online at http://www.sca.org/heraldry/paul/

Client wants a Russian name and cares most about language/culture.  

Name Commentary:

Ary: <Elizaveta> is found in Predslava Vydrina's "Russian Personal Names: Name Frequency in the Novgorod Birch-Bark Letters" (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/predslava/bbl/), which gives evidence that <Elisaveta> was used in Russia outside of the Biblical example cited in Paul's dictionary. 

Fenix: The documentation for the first two elements indeed says what the submitter says it does. The third element is correctly formed. We found no conflicts. 

 

 

6) Engelbert the Pious. (M) New Name and Device. Azure, a sword argent, overall a crescent Or.

(Greyhope)

[Engelbert]~name of Catholic saint, [Engelbert of Cologne] born 1185. Found in Patron Saints Index: Saint Engelbert of Cologne online at http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/sainte83.htm Also listed in the Catholic Encyclopedia: Saint Engelbert of Cologne, online at http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05429c.htm b 1250, d 1331.

{This name is also client’s mundane surname.}

Client will NOT accept MAJOR changes. 

 

The fact that Engelbert is the client's surname is of no consequence with this submission. The temporal difference is not as great as it appears - There were several Engelbert's who served as Archbishop of Cologne in period: Engelbert I von Berg 1216-1225, Engelbert II von Falkenstein 1261-1274, and Engelbert III von der Marck 1364-1369. (http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archbishop_of_Cologne) Just post-period Englebert Kaemfer was a noted author who lived 1651-1716 (http://www.rc.kyushu-u.ac.jp/~michel/serv/ek/). (And let's not forget Englebert Humperdinck, the great singing sensation…) It is safe to assume, therefore, that the name was used throughout period. This leaves us with only the lingual weirdness of the German/English combination.  

We are concerned with the presumptuousness of the submitted arms, and feel they may cross the line with the standard representation of St. Engelbert (an "archbishop with a crozier in one hand and an upraised sword, piercing a crescent moon, in the other"). However, not knowing exactly where to draw that line, we will forward the device on for Wreath to make a ruling on. 

 

Name Commentary:

A&M: Name: From the OED 2 online: 

"Pious:

1. 'Careful of the duties owed by created beings to God' (J.); characterized by or showing reverence and obedience to God (or the gods); faithful to religious duties and observances; devout, godly, religious. a. Of persons.

pious founder, the founder of a college or other endowment for the glory of God and the good of his fellow-men. 

1603 SHAKES. Meas. for M. I. iii. 16 Now (pious Sir) You will demand of me, why I do this. 1605 Macb. III. vi. 27. 1616 BULLOKAR Eng. Expos., Pious, godly, vertuous. 1627 BALCANQUAL Stat. Heriot's Hosp. Edinb. ii, The bountiefull mantenance which they living thair receave from the charitie of thair pious founder. 1628 WITHER Brit. Rememb. 8 For we doe reade, that Kings who pioust were Had wicked subjects." 

Ary: You cannot invoke the modern name allowance except to use an element in the same position that it is in the modern name - e.g., this gentleman could have <Engelbert> as a byname, but not as a given name, without further documentation. Happily, such further documentation is forthcoming: Morlet (I:37b) has <Engelbertus> a917-42,

a.1018, and <Engelbreht> a.899. <Engelbert> is a likely vernacular form. Funnily enough, the name does not appear to have been used in England, unless it was in such a corrupted form that I can't find it easily in either

Withycombe or Reaney & Wilson. 

The earliest date that the OED online edition has for <Pious> is 1602, from Shakespeare: "'Tis too much prou'd, that with Deuotions visage, And pious Action, we do sugre o're The diuell himselfe." 

Without evidence for this word being used earlier, <Engelbert the Pious> is not registerable, as there is a temporal difference of over 300 years (one weirdness) and another weirdness for the lingual disparity. This will have to be returned for further work unless evidence can be found for either <Engelbert> later or <the Pious> earlier. (This is completely ignoring the fact that <the Pious> _cannot_ have been even an English byname, as by the time the word came into use, descriptive, literal bynames had long since become history in England). 

Fenix: "Engelbert" can be found in Reaney & Wilson, Dictionary of English Surnames, corrected 3rd ed., under the header name "Inglebright". The citation includes uses as a given name dated to 1066, Engelbricus, and includes the

preferred spelling as an Old German form. 

Per RfS II.4, if Engelbert is the submittor's mundane surname, it does not help this name since it is being used as a given name and not a surname. 

"Pious" is in the Shorter OED, 5th ed., as late Middle English and in the sense of "loyal" is archaic by the early 17th cen. It certainly fits the general form of epithets as bynames. 

Device Commentary:

A&M Device: From the documentation at http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/sainte83.htm , St. Engelbert's representation is an "archbishop with a crozier in one hand and an upraised sword, piercing a crescent moon, in the other " We feel the device, in combination with the name "Engelbert" and the byname "the Pious" is too evocative of the saint, and therefore violates RfS XI.2 - Presumptuous - Charge and Name Combinations. "Armory that asserts a strong claim of identity in the context of the submitters name is considered presumptuous." 

Ary: I'm a little worried about the drawing of the crescent, but it's still identifiable as such, so it's up to Wreath to make a fuss about it, in my opinion. 

Fenix: Device is clear of conflict. 

Knute: Michael Städtler Zweihänder - September of 1989 (via Caid):

Azure, a sword proper, overall a lion's head cabossed Or.

Single CD for type of overall charge.

Return for conflict. 

Konrad: Did not find a conflict with device. 

 

7) Greylond Dowglaß de Galloway. (M) Device Resubmission. Sable, on a bend cotised Or, three hearts gules, in base a point Or.

(Plain City)

Original submission (Sable, on a bend cotised Or, three hearts gules) returned 9/02 by rouge Scarpe for conflict with Richard Ericksson (Sable, on a bend cotised Or, a castle palewise and a hurst of three pine trees palewise sable) [reg’ 10/82]. Client has added a point in base to clear conflict. 

Reblazon: Sable, on a bend cotised Or, three hearts palewise gules, a point pointed Or. 

 

Device Commentary:

Ary: His name was registered on the 01/03 LoAR. Blazon-fu: "...three hearts _palewise_ gules...a point _pointed_..." It's awfully small, but it's probably okay. 

Fenix: Device is clear of conflict.

Device is ok as drawn, but Signy recommends drawing the point bigger. 

Knute: Clear 

 

8) Hraefnhild Mikklesdottir. (F) New Name {and Device. Argent, a raven rising wings addorsed and inverted proper, and a chief rayonny gules.}

(Sternfeld)

No documentation for name. Client wants a name meaning “raven” authentic to 8th century Wessex (Anglo-Saxon).  

{Device is being returned for conflict with Stephen Grimfalcon de Norfolkd (reg 12/87), Argent, a falcon striking sable within a bordure gules. }

Name changed to Hrafnhildr Mikaelsdóttir 

Name Commentary:

Ary: Geirr Bassi has <Hrafnhildr>; this name appeared twice in the Landnamabok. He doesn't have <Mikkle>, but he does have <Mikael> and <Mikjáll>, as borrowings of the Christian name <Michael>. Insley's _Scandinavian Personal Names in Norfolk_ doesn't have either name; this is my best source for Norse names in England at the moment. I can't say whether <Hrafnhildr Mikaelsdóttir> or <Hrafnhildr Mikjállsdóttir> are appropriate for 8th C Wessex (I _can_ say that it's certainly not Anglo-Saxon!), but these are fine Old Norse names. 

Fenix: "Hrafnhildr" can be found in Reaney & Wilson, under the header name "Ravenhall" as a feminine given name in Old Norse. 

Geir Bassi has "Hrafnhildr" on page 11, second column. "Mikkelsdottir" would seem to be similar to "Mitchelson" a header name in Reaney & Wilson dated to 1383. 

Taking the given name from Geir Bassi "Mikael" (p. 13) and forming a patronymic from it would seem to give "Mikaelsdottir", although we are not certain of the genitive form of Mikael since Geir Bassi does not specify the formation for names ending in a single "l". 

Konrad: From: http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/ONNames_and_Gods.htm

Feminine: Hrafn-.

Hrafnhildr, Rafnhildr, Hrefna 

I'll ask our Anglo Saxon expert tonight about the name if he is at the meeting. 

 

Device Commentary:

Ary: According to the Glossary of Terms, a raven proper is sable, beaked and legged gules. This raven is simply sable, and should be blazoned as such. This conflicts with Stephen Grimfalcon de Norfolk (reg. 12/87 via Calontir), "Argent, a falcon striking sable within a bordure gules." There is one CD for changing the bordure to a chief rayonny. 

Fenix: Blazon change: The raven does not appear to be rising but instead is just standing there, thus we recommend changing the blazon to: Argent, a raven wings addorsed and inverted proper, and a chief rayonny gules. (Since the

default posture for a raven is close.) 

Device is clear of conflict. 

Knute: Argent, a raven rising wings addorsed and inverted sable and a chief rayonny gules 

Cigfran Myddrael Joserlin, the Raven - August of 1976: Argent, a raven rising reguardant, wings disclosed, proper, in the dexter claw a sword gules. 

CD chief, possible CD sword (maintained/sustained) 

Rohlfe Ravenson - July of 1974: Argent, a raven surgerant sable, perching upon a dexter hand in pale, couped at the wrist proper, gauntleted azure. 

CD chief, possible CD hand. 

Stephen Grimfalcon de Norfolk - December of 1987 (via Calontir): Argent, a falcon striking sable within a bordure gules.
