Greetings unto Master Dafydd Blaidd, Dragon Herald, Barun Rory mac Feidhlimidh, Rouge Scarpe Herald, and the commenting members of the Midrealm
College of Heralds; from Brynn Herleifson, Escutcheon Herald.

Herein please find submissions received in July 2010. Unless noted, clients will accept minor changes and a holding name.

All comments are due to Rouge Scarpe and Dragon by September 25, 2010.

This is my first letter as Escutcheon and I would greatly appreciate a private e-mail with any commentary or feedback you may have for me.


1) Brigitta the Weaver (F) – New Name and Device – "Plain English" blazon given as "Left side: white background 3 green ivy leaves in a verticle row, right side: green background white fretty"

Cynnabar

Escut. Notes : Desired gender of the name is female.

A good amount of documentation was given, but the most significant and appropriate source (http://www.crowdog.net/webdiv3/d3four.html) details lists St. Brigid and other forms of the name. Source is a text online about the saint.

2) Isabel Inghean Gregor (F) – New Name and Device – Per pale vert and or, two ferrets salient respectant regardant counterchanged argent and sable

Escut. Notes : Cliente cares most about sound and language/culture (Scottish). Desired gender of the name is female. She also indicated she would ask for changes to be made to make the name authentic for the 1200-1300 Scottish Highlands

Isabel:

4) Mary Coleta Rose (F) – Resubmitted Device – A semy of roses gules, on a chief embattled sable three owls argent

Fenix

Escut. notes:

Name registered in March of 2010 via the Middle

Client enclosed a letter from Rouge Scarpe detailing the earlier rejection based on her use of rosebuds, which have not been registerable since LoAR 11/94 and suggesting the use of roses, as she has done.

5) Ulrich Rickher and Christoph Rickher (M) – Resubmitted Household name and Badge – "Haus zum Rickher" and "Argent, a sea unicorn azure within a bordure purpure mullety argent"

Cleftlands

Escut. notes:

The badge is to be associated with Ulrich or Haus zum Rickher with Christoph as the co-owner. Ulrich's name was registered in February of 2003 via the Middle. Christoph's name was registered August 2007 via the Middle.

From the August 2007 LoAR, they attempted to register the household name "Haus Rickher zu dem Walde" which was rejected. Laurel indicated in the letter that "Haus zum Ricker" was acceptable and would have been registered except the clients indicated they would not accept major changes. Clients are resubmitting with this version and accepting changes, noting that the intended meaning is "The House of Rickher" and is desired to be "14th century Germanic"

References:

Ricker:
[Bahlow/Gentry]

Client also named a new source with the resubmission that they could not include (and which I could not find). This source was provided by Laurel in the LoAR and, since this name was registerable without this documentation, its absence didn't seem to be worth rejecting the submission. The reference is:
Karl Schmidt, Die Hausnamen und Hauszeichen im mittelalterlichen Freiburg (pg. 15)

6) Christoph Rickher (M) – Resubmitted Device – Paly wavy or and azure, a unicorn's head erased purpure

Cleftlands

Escut. notes:

Name registered in August 2007 via the Middle

The badge was previously submitted with the same blazon. Laurel said:
"While the field is neutral and technically has sufficient contrast for a purpure charge, in this case - in conjunction with the particular rendition of the unicorn's head - the unicorn's head is unidentifiable and must be returned. " The resubmission is a correction in the appearance of the unicorn's head.
