Greetings unto Master Rory mac Feidhlimidh, Dragon, Mistress Elena de Vexin, Rouge Scarpe, and the commenting members of the Midrealm College of Heralds; from Lady Ana Linch, Escutcheon Herald.
Unless noted, clients will accept minor changes and a holding
name. This letter has the second batch of submissions that were

Herald, who was in charged of the Point this year. She graciously
did the ILOI for them. All Pennsic Submissions will have a # by
the number. The Pennsic Fee Letter will be separate from regular
fee letter as they paid at the Point. Elsbeth sent one check to
cover all the fees. Laurel has requested that the Pennsic work
sheets not be included in the documentation.
All comments are due by Dec. 25th.

Burning River
(Cleveland, OH)

According to the paperwork: “-- in reference to the times the Cuyahoga River has caught fire, most notably on June 22, 1969.” This is all the documentation that came with the submission.
Client *will not* accept major changes and cares more for meaning.

of the River
(Cleveland, OH)
(name reg’d Aug. ‘79)
According to the paperwork: “-- in reference to the Cuyahoga River." This is all the documentation that came with the submission.
Client *will not* accept major changes and cares more for meaning.
| 3) Dafydd Arth (M) -- Device Change -- Per
saltire purpure and gules, a mullet of eight points
voided Or (Bloomington, IN) (name reg'd 'Sept '95) Client wishes to released: "Quarterly azure and purpure, two recorders crossed in saltire, on a chief argent a bear statant contourny between two fleur-de-lys sable," reg'd Sept '95 |
|
| 4) Elizabella Marchant (F) -- Device
Resubmission -- Per bend sinister argent and azure, a
rose proper and a garb Or. (Shaker Hts, OH) (name reg'd Aug '96) Her original device: Per chevron ployé azure and argent, two roses argent and a Lacy knot purpure was returned by Laurel, May '98 was returned for using a charged chape, which isn’t allowed. |
|
| #5) Erick Maxskelly (M) New name
and device -- Gyronny gules and Or, a ship's wheel, on
a chief sable three bezants (Foxvale) The submitter will allow all changes, cares most about language/culture, and asks for an authentic name for the time of "Hundred Years' War" in Scotland. |
|
[Erick]: Black, pg. 256, s.n. Erikson, notes a Laurence Erickson in 1613. Given the way patronymics are formed, this implies that Erick in some form existed in period and that Erick is a possible late period spelling.
[Maxskelly]: Black, pg. 564, s.n .Macskelly lists a Alexandre Maxskelly in 1489.
The device, unfortunately, fall afoul of the following precedent: The ship's wheel is apparently not a period charge. Barring documentation to the contrary this must be returned. (Hans Van Hoorn, 3/98 p. 18)
Alternate suggestions would be appreciated.
| 6) Etienne Saintier (M) -- New Name and Device
-- Per fess Or and azure, in chief an open book
inscribed "ES VERUS IPSO" in base three bells
on the first. (Cynnabar) I found the blazon very confusing and I’m sure someone will fix it. I did correct the escutcheon as it was too small for the form. The client originally had “Per pale” when it was clearly “Per fess.” I contacted the client and fixed his form but the “three bells on the first” is how it appears on the form. |

#21) Miklós Magdolna (F) Name change from Caitlin of

[Miklós]: Régi Magyar Családnevek Szótára, pg. 734, s.n. Miklós, is dated to 1589 in this form and as a surname (Miklós Istuan).
Current precedent requires that names with unmarked patronymic bynames (such as Miklós) to be used in the last name position. According to the article "And the Last Shall Be First" (in the latest KWHS proceedings), Magdolna Miklós would be interpreted as meaning "Miklós son of Magdolna."

|
The form of the quaver is based on the follow precedent (and the research that supported it):
[a quaver] The musical note drawn here is a lozenge with a vertical stem rising from the sinister end. While this is the standard SCA form in the Pictorial Dictionary, further research has not been able to show this form of musical note as a period musical note. It continues to be registerable, but submitters should be advised that the standard form of such a note would have the stem rising from the top point of the lozenge. To quote from previous precedent:
According to the PicDic, 2nd ed., # 520, "A musical note is ... commonly represented as a lozenge or an ovoid roundel with a vertical stem at one end." The 'musical note' here is not a period form, but a modern (post-period) one. This one neither matches the semiminim note in the Pictorial Dictionary (a lozenge shape with a vertical line from the sinister corner; this version has been superseded by newer research) nor the form the newer research has shown (a lozenge shape with a vertical line from the top corner). (LoAR 3/98 p. 16)
For those interested in the "newer research" mentioned in this LoAR, the documentation for that submission's form of musical note was from Willi Apel's The Notation of Polyphonic Music 900-1600, fifth edition. The analysis indicating that the current standard form of SCA musical note is not found in period musical notation was provided by Magister Klement St. Christoph. [Alicia of Granite Mountain, 01/02, A-Atenveldt]
31) Ulf Des Vandrer (M) -- New Name
(Marche of Three Towers)
[Ulf] "The Vikings" by Ian Heath, pp. 26-27 "Ulf - Stone Carving of the story of Ulf" "The inscription reads: 'Karsi and Gerbjorn had this stone raised in memory of Ulf their father, God and God's Mother help his soul.' "
[Des] "the" "Berlitz Danish Eng. Dictionary," c. 1974 by Berlitz Pub. Co., pg. 121
[Vandrer] "Wanderer" "Berlitz Danish Eng. Dictionary," c. 1974 by Berlitz Pub. Co., pg. 307
According to the submitted paperwork: "Descriptive names were used for the Norse/Viking cultures ie "Erik the Red." Brian/Ulf has never lived in one place for more than 5 years so wanderer is a description of him. His surname Spenst in Norse as is his ancestry -- the Skoljd family from Denmark. A Danish viking that wanders named 'Ulf'. "
