Unless noted, clients will accept minor changes and a holding name.

From St. Gabriel Report 2659: "We believe
that the particular spelling, <Allissaid>,
though found at the end of your period, is
plausible for about the last half, i.e.,
throughout the 15th century, but only in a
document using the Lismore-style spelling.

[Cunningham] -- Surnames in Durham and Northumberland 1521-1615 (http://www.yucs.org/~jules/names/parish/surnames_c.html) lists c. Cunningham 1615
http://clancunningham.us/CunninghamHistory.html sites Alexander Cunningham 1462
(Esct Note: The Client isn't sure about "Neyn" in the cover letter she states: "In studying my name more, I have come across one question that I cannot find a conclusive answer for. That is whether I should add the "neyn" before the surname or not. I put a parenthesis around it on the form with a question mark. In previous research it appeared that this should be part of my name, ... it appears that for my time period and area of Scotland in the late 15th century, early 16th century the "Neyn" is not needed.")
No documentation was submitted for "Neyn" and client wishes for the spelling of Allissaid as her persona is Lowland Scots.
| 2) Anton du Marais (M) New Name and Device -- Azure,
two falcons combatant argent, beaked and membered Or, on
a chief Or, three fleur-de lis sable. (Ravenslake) "Diet of Period Russian Names," by Paul Wickenden of Thanet c. Anton Sholukha 1552 [Marais] -- French for

| 5) Matheus MacEoin (M) Device Resubmission -- Per
saltire argent and sable, a cross crosslet Or (Cleveland Hgts, OH) (Name reg'd Mar. '04) Quarterly sable and argent semé-de-lys sable, in bend two cross crosslets Or was returned by Rouge Scarpe, Nov '03. |
|
(Esct. Note: I looked in all of '03's ILOAR and I couldn't find the reason for it's return. I checked with Ary and she think the reason for its return was a violation of Rule XI.3.b marshalling.)
| 6) Wilhelm von Wolfsburg (M) -- Device
Resubmission -- Sable, a trident Or between two
flaunches argent (Henderson, KY) (Name reg'd Mar '03) This device was returned by Laurel Dec. '03 to be redrawn. According to Laurel: "Per the LoAR of September 2001, Please advise the submitter to draw the flaunches issuing from the top corners of the shield rather than from the chief. ... Please advise the submitter that the flaunches must be drawn from the top corners of the shield in order to be registered." |

de Rodez (F) New Name and Device-- Azure, in bend
three fleurs de lys argent (Shattered Crystal) (Esct. Note: Caitriona Mac Dhonnachaidh emailed me the following summary and asked if I would use it.) |

[De
Rodez]-- http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jamesdow/s020/f510091.htm

Rodez

(page 9 of 27)
The pages sites French nobility which were known
as patrons of troubadours, specifically Henry I,
count of Rodez; Hugh IV, Count of Rodez
1222-1274; Henry II, Count of Rodez 1274-1302
Client wishes name to be authentic for later period (14th to
16th century) France. She does not consent to major changes.
However, changes to the spelling of de Rodez are just fine.
In Service to the Dream,
Lady Ana Linch
