1 Aaron Peregrine (m) - New Name forwarded & New Device forwarded

Per fess azure and vert, six falcons argent.

Aaron is found on p. 1 of Withycombe (both 2nd and 3rd ed.); the header spelling is dated to 1199 from the Curia Regis Rolls. Peregrine is found in R&W p. 351 s.n. Pilgrim, dated to 1243 as a surname. Also, Bardsley p. 598 s.n. Peregrine has Peregrinus as a given name dated to the reign of Edward I.

This device is clear of Cigfran o Gaer Walch (Feb. 1997 East), Or, six ravens close sable, with one CD for the field and another for the tincture of the birds, and of Lyrel-Phillipa of Eden's Hall (Aug. 1978 Caid), Per fess azure and vert, two martlets voided argent, with one CD for the number of primary charges and another for the change of color of the primaries: the voided birds are essentially azure and vert, not argent. It's also clear of Adeliza de Saviniaco (Aug. 1999 Middle), Gules, an orle of martlets argent, with one CD for the field, and another for the arrangement of the charges, per the following precedent: "[Azure, an orle of oak leaves argent] This does not conflict with Catterina da Calabria, Azure, six leaves argent. There is one CD for changing the type of leaf. There is a second CD for changing the arrangement from three two and one to in orle. While six charges three two one could conceivably be misdrawn to leave a clear open space in the center, that is not the case with Catterina's emblazon, so there is no visual conflict problem between the two pieces of armory" (Jake de Twelfoaks, 10/02 A-East).

2 Apollonia Voss - Resub Device forwarded

Per bend sinister nebuly gules and Or, a sun Or and a brown vixen sejant ululant proper langued gules.

Her name was registered in Jan. 2003, via the East. Her device, blazoned nearly identically to this one (Per bend sinister nebuly gules and Or, a sun Or and a brown vixen sejant ululant proper), was returned at the same time for unregisterable use of 'proper': "The vixen drawn here is brown with black feet, white chest, and white tail-tip. This is not acceptable by ... precedent, which requires that the brown fox proper be all brown ..." This submission features an all-brown fox in order to fix this problem.

3 Apollonia Voss - New Badge redrawn and forwarded

(Fieldless) A brown vixen sejant ululant proper.

Her name was registered in Jan. 2003, via the East.

Commenters agreed that as submitted, this fox wasn't ululant: both the nose and lower jaw should point to chief. Also, the white tail tip violates the precedent quoted above for the resubmitted device. This has therefore been redrawn with the submitter's approval.

4 Apollonia Voss - New Badge forwarded

(Fieldless) A sun per bend sinister gules and Or.

Her name was registered in Jan. 2003, via the East.

This badge may conflict with Kragon of Land's End (06/2006 Outlands), (Fieldless) A sun per bend sinister bevilled fesswise gules and Or. There is one clear difference from the "fieldless bribe", but it is unclear whether there is a second CD for the change to per bend from per bend bevilled. Lacking any precedent addressing the question, I'm forwarding this for Wreath's delectation.

5 Bran ap Rees (m) - New Name forwarded

If his name must be changed, he cares most about Welsh language and/or culture. He requests authenticity for Welsh language and/or culture. Welsh Personal Names (Gruffudd, Heini) "Br{a^}n Form of Bendigeidfran, son of Ll{y^}r in the Mabinogi, and son of Beli according to tradition." Welsh Surnames (Morgan, T.J. & Morgan, Prys) s.n. Rhys (Rees, Reece, Preece). Rice, Price, Pryse, etc. 14th century: Rhis vach Walter. 1292: Res Kethin. 1303: Griffini ap Rys. 1556: Richard Aprece. 1538: Thomas ap Ryse Melyn.

Academy of St. Gabriel report 2098 (http://www.s-gabriel.org/2098) says: "<Bran> was a rare name. This is the only spelling we've found, and it appears in both Welsh and English contexts [12]." The footnote cites Tangwystyl verch Morgant Glasvryn, "Names and Naming Practices in the Merioneth Lay Subsidy Roll 1292-3" (Known World Heraldic Symposium Proceedings, 1991) and Bartrum, P.C., Early Welsh Genealogical Tracts (Cardiff, U. of Wales Press, 1966). Given this information and the fact that the cited documentation from Gruffudd has Br{a^}n rather than the submitted Brán, the name has been changed to Bran. The same S. Gabe report also says Rees is found in Welsh contexts, citing the Book of Llandav and Bartrum (op. cit.), so this looks like a fine Welsh name.

6 Brilliana de la Hay (f) - New Name forwarded & New Device returned

Vert, a mastiff sejant erect maintaining in its sinister forepaw a sword inverted, a bordure embattled Or.

No major changes. If her name must be changed, she cares most about sound. Brilliana is after Brilliana Conway (later Brilliana Lady Harley), baptized in 1598, found in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (http://www.oxforddnb.com/index/101012334). A transcription of one of her letters (dated 1642) at http://www.arts.gla.ac.uk/sesll/englang/ugrad/readings/EMod/brilliana.htm shows her name as BRILLIANA HARLEY. de la Hay is after Richard de la Hay (d. 1185), found on a page titled "Ancestors of Paul Bailey MCBRIDE" at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~pmcbride/rfc/gw40.htm.

Brilliana is a header in Withycombe, p. 55, dated to c. 1600. De La Haye (with that capitalization) is found on p. xl of F.K. & S. Hitching: References to English Surnames in 1601 and 1602. In addition, Bardsley p. 368 s.n. Hay has de la Hay 1273 and temp. Edw. III (1327-1377) and del Haye 1379. The name should therefore be registerable as submitted, so I've made no changes. (If the submitter had requested changes for authenticity, I would've gone with Brilliana De La Haye as the most temporally consistent form.)

Unfortunately, this device conflicts with Lughaidh Mac Sheóinín (Nov. 2002 Ansteorra), Vert, a wolf rampant and a chief raguly Or. There is a single CD for the change from a chief to a bordure, but nothing for rampant versus sejant erect, and nothing for the maintained charge. (And of course nothing for mastiff versus wolf: dogs is dogs.) Note that some commenters found the maintained sword hard to identify, because the dog's paw obscures the most characteristic feature (the guard) of the sword.

7 Eadric Wiglafes sunu - New Device forwarded

Vert, two axes addorsed and on a chief argent three crosses potent vert.

His name was registered in Oct. 2006, via the East.

8 Eva Woderose (f) - New Name forwarded & New Device returned

Gules, on a bend between two wolves couchant argent, three roses proper.

Eva is dated to 1154-89, 1199, 1201, 1206, 1211, 1249, 1277, 1278, 1303, 1346, 1359, and 1450 in Talan Gwynek's "Feminine Given Names in A Dictionary of English Surnames" (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/reaneyAG.html). Specific examples from R&W include Eva Carpe 1359 (p. 84 s.n. Carp), Eva Purveys 1450 (p. 366 s.n. Purvis), and Eva le Seckere 1277 (p. 389 s.n. Sacker). Eva also appears in "Given Names from Early 13th Century England" by Talan Gwynek (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/eng13/eng13f.html). Woderose is a byname meaning 'wild rose', dated to 1332 in R&W p. 375 s.n. Redrose.

Unfortunately, this device conflicts with Nicola Angelini (June 2006 East), Gules, on a bend between two standing seraphs argent three quatrefoils palewise gules, with just one CD for the change in type of secondary charges, but nothing for the quatrefoils versus roses (see Kristin Leifsdottir, 11/06 R-Northshield), and nothing for a posture change between a quadruped and a biped.

9 Juana Maria de la Fuente (f) - New Name forwarded

If her name must be changed, she cares most about an unspecified language and/or culture. Juana and Maria are found under Women's Given Names, and de la Fuente is found in the locative surnames section of Juliana de Luna's "Spanish Names from the Late 15th Century" (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/isabella/index.html). All three elements are also found in "16th Century Spanish Names" by Elsbeth Anne Roth (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/spanish/index.html). Academy of St. Gabriel reports 2500 (http://www.s-gabriel.org/2500) and 2703 (http://www.s-gabriel.org/2703) note that in later-period Spain, double given names were rare but not unknown.

10 Njall Randvesson - Resub Device returned

Gyronny arrondy argent and vert, a raven close proper within a bordure sable.

His name was registered in April 2003, via the East; his original device submission was returned at the same time for conflict. His previous resubmission, Gyronny arrondy argent and vert, a raven close proper, was returned on the June 2006 LoD, for conflict with Serlo of Litchfield (Dec. 1985 via Atenveldt): Gyronny gules and Or, a vulture close sable, with just one CD for the field. This submission adds a bordure to clear this conflict.

Unfortunately, this device now conflicts with Isabeau Cranach (Oct. 1995 Atlantia), Lozengy gules and Or, a raven within a bordure sable, with just one CD for the field. It is just clear of Susannah Makejoy (Apr. 2000 Meridies), Argent, a cock close within a bordure sable, with one CD for the field, and one for the change from a poultry-shaped bird to a "regular-shaped" bird.

11 Roland de Endeweard (m) - New Change of Holding Name forwarded
Holding name: Roland of Endeweard

If his name must be changed, he cares most about the meaning 'Roland of Endeweard'. His name Roland d'Endeweard was returned on the Dec. 2006 LoAR: "this byname combines French and English in a single name phrase in violation of RfS III.1.a, Linguistic Consistency. We would change it to Roland de Endeweard; because de is found in English names, this would put the name into a fully English form. However, this would change the language of the preposition from French to English or Latin; as the submitter will not accept major changes, we cannot change the language of this element. His household name was registered under the holding name Roland of Endeweard." This submission changes the name to the form suggested in the return.

12 Sara of Stonley (f) - New Name forwarded

If her name must be changed, she cares most about the language and/or culture of 14th century England. She requests authenticity for the time period '14th century England'. Sara is found in Talan Gwynek's "Feminine Given Names in A Dictionary of English Surnames" (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/reaneyHZ.html), dated in this spelling to 1311 s.n. Reading, 1330 s.n. Southey, and to 1379 in Withycombe. Stoneleigh is a town in Warwickshire, found in John Trevor: Warwickshire Hundred Rolls of 1279-80, Stoneleigh and Kineton Hundreds: Records of Social and Economic History, complete text of royal survey (British Academy, 1993; ISBN 0 197261221).

Submitted as Sara of Stoneleigh, this appears to be a standardized, modern or late-period spelling of the placename. Ekwall p. 447 s.n. Stoneleigh (Warwickshire) has Stanlei DB, Stanleia 1153, and Stonle 1285, and R&W p. 429 s.n. Stoneley has Stonle 1275, de Stonley 1330-31, and Stonley 1340-1450. Neither the place in Warwickshire nor any of the other "Stanley" variations elsewhere in England appear in either Ekwall or R&W with the submitted spelling, and in fact, of the placenames listed under 'leah' in Ekwall (p. 292), Rawleigh 1509 (R&W p. 371 s.n. Raleigh) is the only -leigh spelling that isn't a header (modern) form. I have therefore changed the submitted Stoneleigh to the attested 14th century spelling Stonley, in order to comply with her request for authenticity.

13 Tat'iana Negoshka Danilova - Resub Device forwarded

Quarterly Or and gules, a cross of Jerusalem within a bordure embattled, all counterchanged.

Her name was registered in Apr. 2006, via the East. Her previous device submission, Sable, a rapier inverted within a vol argent, was returned on the July 2005 LoD for conflict and artistic issues. This is a complete redesign.

One commenter felt this may be a RfS X.5 (visual) call against Edward FitzRanulf (Feb. 1987 Middle), Quarterly Or and gules, four crosses couped counterchanged. It is clear of Stephan of Monmouth (Oct. 2000 Ansteorra), Per pale Or and sable, a cross of Jerusalem counterchanged, with one CD for the field and another for the change in tincture of the primary charge.

14 Tat'iana Negoshka Danilova - New Badge returned

Gules, a cross of Jerusalem Or.

Her name was registered in Apr. 2006, via the East.

This badge conflicts with Jerusalem (reg. Dec. 1994 via Laurel), Argent, a cross potent between four crosses couped Or (which is where the cross of Jerusalem gets its name). There is only a single CD for the tincture of the field.

15 Ysabeau de Nantes (f) - New Name forwarded & New Device forwarded

Vert, a cat sejant guardant Or and a chief invected ermine.

No major changes. If her name must be changed, she cares most about sound. Ysabeau is dated to 1537 as a form of Isabelle in Tangwystyl verch Morgant Glasvryn's "Given Names from Brittany, 1384-1600" (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/latebreton.html). Nantes is a city currently located in modern Pays de la Loire, France. Historicallly, it was part of Brittany. It is mentioned in the Chroniques de Froissart, for example in book 4 (written between 1389-1400), section XXVIII (http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/chroniq/froiss/F0.htm).

Additional documentation: Dauzat & Rostaing p. 489 s.n. Nantes indicates that Nantes was the first capital of the dukes of Britanny, with some form (possibly Namnetes?) dating back to the 4th century.

This device is clear of Dianna of the Silver Shore (Nov. 1995 An Tir), Vert, a lion sejant Or holding in its dexter paw a rose argent, on a chief Or three ermine spots fesswise sable, with one CD for the line of division and at least another for the tincture of the chief (be it Or with tertiaries or some sort of erminois).

16 Ysabeau de Nantes - New Badge returned

(Fieldless) On a mullet of four points azure a cross argent.

Her name and device are submitted above.

Unfortunately, this badge conflicts with Astra Christiana Benedict (June 1982 Caid), (Tinctureless) On a mullet a cross crosslet, with a single CD for the field(lessness) but nothing for the type only of the tertiary charge (the interior of a mullet being not large enough for RfS X.4.j.ii to apply). Per RfS X.4.f, four and five are not significantly different, so there is no CD for the number of points on the mullets.
