Purpure, a horse's head bendwise couped, in a canton a

|
Purpure, a horse's head couped and in dexter chief a mullet argent was returned by Laurel Aug. '04 for "The two color copies of this form do not match. On one the field is clearly purpure (if a bit on the reddish side). On the other, the field is unmistakably azure. (This appears to be the result of color printing and color photocopying.) The discrepancy between the forms requires an administrative return, as a complete set of paperwork has not been received by Laurel. AH IV.C states "No submission, including any resubmission, appeal, change or release of a protected item, etc., shall be considered for registration until a complete set of paperwork is provided to the appropriate heraldic officer." This submission cannot be considered as it stands, and is likewise not eligible for the Grandfather Clause."
(Esct. Note: I'm not sure this still falls the one year time limit or not. She didn't send a check.)
8) Minicea, wife of Vahram -- New Name

[Wife of] "Academy of saint Gabriel Report 1928," (http://www.panix.com/~gabriel/public-bin/showfinal.cgi/1928.txt) "In almost all records, Goths are identified by single given names alone, with any surname [2]. That would probably by the most typical way for a woman of that culture to identify herself, especially before the Muslim invasion. After 900 or so, some women were identified in formal records as "wife of" or "daughter of" a man.
Dr. Timothy W. Greenwood, (http://users.ox.ac.uk/~orie0442/) "Entry 6. [A.D. 936] I lady Sop'i, wife of Smbat. . ."

According to the paperwork:
"During my first submission, I took a 9th century Saxon
given name and a 15th century surname, which was a no-no. . . .
"
He sites his rejection letter from Phebe Bonadeci, Incunabula Pursuivant: "An Old English Osric Eadweardes sunu would be fairly unremarkable,but usage changed after the Conquest, and usual form of patronymic was then simply the father's name unmodified. . . . RW s.n. Edwardson have William Edwardson in 1518. . . "
Then he continues with: "So I decide to change the period andsurname to match the givenname. So my submission now is supposed to be 9th century, Saxon. I found mention of some Osrics in Northumbria in the 800's, I have found both Osric and Eadweard on Kate Monk's website (linked below), and I am taking Phebe Bonadeci's suggestion on how to form the patronym. Phebe also, as quoted above suggested that these names would be acceptable. (http://www.gaminggeeks.org/Resources/KateMonk/England-Saxon/Dithematic.htm)"
| 10) Ruthardus Hruga --Device resubmission -- Per
pale sable and Or, a bird displayed and in base a sun
between two crescents, all counterchanged. (Belleville, IL) (Name reg'd May '04) |
|
Per pale sable and or, a raven displayed, in base a sun between two crescents with points to chief, all counterchanged was returned by Laurel, May '04 for "Blazoned on the LoI as "sable", the dark colored parts of the field and charges are very much Crayola brown. This appears to be the result of a color printout, color photocopy, or combination of both."
| 11) Vahram Basean (M) -- New Name and Device
-- Or, three boar's heads erased closed one and two,
and on a point pointed gules a rose Or (Sternfeld) Client will *not* accept major changes and wants 500-700 Armenia. |

"In five hundred and twenty-sixth year of this Armenian era, in the kingship of the Greeks of Mixayl son of Tukic, emperor of the Romans, in the offive of curopalat of Marem, pious and powerful, son the kat'olikoi of Armenia, lord Grigoris and lord G org (sic), I Smbat patrik son of [Vahram]. . ."

[Basean] -- "Tubinger Atlas des Vorderen Orients (TAVO) der Universitat Tubingen," Dr. Reichert Verlag. According to the paperwork: "The map's legend provides a list of Armenian episcopal sees (sic) known to exist during the early middle ages. . . Basean is included under the heading "Known by 450."

According to the paperwork: ". . . Lord Basen is mentioned in an event occuring after 652. . .Because the see (sic) and the lord have the same name, a person might suppose that the"Basenats'ik" represents a group of free men or a levy from Basen. . ."
