Greetings unto Master Thorvald Redhair, Dragon, Lady Phebe Bonadeci, 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.

All comments are due by August 25th.


1) Bertrande Fresneau (F) -- New Name
(Winged Hills)

Client will *not* accept major changes and cares for sound and wants authentic 15th-16th century French

[Bertrande] -- "Late Period French Feminine Names," by Aryanhwy merch Catmael (http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/french/latefrench.html) lists [Bertrande 1504]

[Fresneau] -- According to an enclosed email to Dafydd Blaidd from Talan: "The surname is in origin a diminutive of Old French <fresne> 'ash-tree'; the original OFr diminutive would have been (Dauzat s.n. <Frêne>). Vocalization of <-el> to <-eau> occurred in the 12th century (M.K. Pope, From Latin to Modern French, Manchester Univ. Press, 1952, § § 539,664), though it wasn't always reflected in writing until later; you can see some early examples in Reaney & Wilson s.nn. <Beaufoy>, <Beaufront>."

 

 

2) Calyvorri Ine Kill (F) -- New Name
(Riviere Constelle)

Client will accept all changes and cares for sound and time period (however, she did not list one)

According to the paperwork:

"The documentation for this name is J.J. Kneen's 'The Personal Names of the Isle of Man," (Oxford University Press, 1937) as presented by Tangwystyl verch Morgant Glasvryn at (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/jonesmanx16.html) listing 'Ine Kill' as a Manx surname and Calyvorri as a Manx first name and Rev. Theophilus Talbot's"the Manorial Roll of the Isle of Man 1511-1515" (Oxford University Press 1924), pg. 65 that lists a More Ine Kill and pgs 67-72 that lists a Calyvorry Ine Comas.

5) Cleftlands, Barony of -- Order Resubmission "Order of the Burning River"
(Cleveland, OH)

"Order of the Burning River" was pended June '05 due to lack of documentation.

Client cares for meaning.

According to the paperwork:

"Burning River" refers to the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland (Cleftlands) which famously caught on fire on June 22, 1969 (ASIV). When Cleftlands was founded later that year, this astonishing event was still in the minds of the populace and was the inspiration for our Baronial arms, "Per bend sinister nebuly argent and azure, issuant from each projection of the line division a flame proper, in canton a laurel wreath vert."*

It is our position that "The Order of the Burning River" therefore follows the patterns specified in "Project Ordensnammen" (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/order/) -- Event, and Adjective + Thing.

The prior submission of this order generated some debate on the Herald commentary list regarding the fact that there is no documented instance of a river, burning or otherwise, having been used for an order. According to the Rules of Submission, Part III, item 2 Bii, "names of orders and awards must follow the patterns of the names of period orders and awards." It does not require that the name actually have been used. Should a similiar debate arise regarding this submission, it is our hope that the name will be passed onto Laurel for the final decision.

A copy of the required petition of support, signed by 12 of our 15 officers, is attached.
