Escut. Notes: Clients name registered Feb 2009 as Rydderch ap Morgan. This resubmission was given as Rydderach ap Morgan. Escut. has changed spelling to match registered name. Device returned Feb 2009 for the following reason:
This device is returned for being unblazonable. Precedent says: "This is not a lozenge throughout because it touches only two sides. We were unable to derive a blazon that would reproduce this emblazon." [Joscelin d'Outremer, R-Atlantia, 09/2005].

15) Rydderch ap Morgan (M) – Badge Resubmission – On a bezant a lozenge sable throughout and a bordure vert.

Cleftlands


Escut. Notes: Clients name registered Feb 2009 as Rydderch ap Morgan. Badge returned Feb 2009 for the following reason:
This device is returned for being unblazonable. Precedent says: "This is not a lozenge throughout because it touches only two sides. We were unable to derive a blazon that would reproduce this emblazon." [Joscelin d'Outremer, R-Atlantia, 09/2005].
Submitted as (Fieldless) On a bezant a lozenge sable throughout and a bordure vert, by precedent, "we do not register fieldless badges which appear to be independent forms of armorial display. Charges such as lozenges, billets, and roundels are all both standard heraldic charges and "shield shapes" for armorial display." [LoAR January 1998]. This is also sufficient grounds for return.
