Unto to East Kingdom College of Heralds, upon the Feast of Saint Romanus, greetings and every good thing! Here is the Letter of Decisions for the September 1, 2012 Internal Letter of Intent. The original text from the iLoI is bolded, and is followed by my comments in unbolded text. Note that the submissions are being evaluated under the new Standards for Evaluation of Names and Armory (SENA).

Thank you to the following commenters: Abdullah ibn Harun, Aryanhwy merch Catmael, Brunissende Dragonette, Gawain of Miskbridge, Gisela vom Kreuzbach, Gunnvor silfraharr, Joscelin le esqurel, Konrad Mailander, Lillia de Vaux, Magnus von Lübeck, Mari ingen Briain meic Donnchada, Marie de Blois, Solveig Throndardottir, Tanczos Istvan, Ursula Georges and Yehuda ben Moshe.

Your servant,
Alys Mackyntoich

1: Aban Cerr - New Name Change Forwarded

Old Item: Gaius Annaeus Maso, to be released.
Sound (Ay-ben) most important.

Cerr is the Old Irish Gaelic form of a descriptive byname meaning "crooked, wry-mouthed" found in Mari's "Index" (http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/DescriptiveBynames/Cerr.shtml) with Annals dates of 591, 595, 624, 627, 629, 721.

The submitter is not correct in how he thinks the given name is pronounced; it is closer to AH-bon or AH-ben, with the emphasis on the AH, which sounds like the vowel sound in "cat". Commenters felt that the name did not conflict with Alden Kerr, registered in Sept. 2001 via Æthelmearc. Although Cerr is pronounced exactly like Kerr, it was felt that there was sufficient difference in the given names to warrant sending this up for further review.

2: Adriana Cooper - New Name Forwarded and New Device Forwarded

Argent, a Chinese dragon passant and on a chief invected gules three annulets Or.

Both elements are found in the IGI Parish Records (extracted) for England:

Adriana Arnold Female 19 Sep 1588 Glatton, Huntingdon, England Batch: C16864-1
William Cooper Male Christening 06 Jan 1594 Hurstbourne Tarrant, Hampshire, England Batch: C14667-1

3: Æsa feilinn Jóssursdóttir - New Name Forwarded and New Device Forwarded

Per chevron inverted azure and sable, in pale a sun and a wolf statant argent.

The submitter desires a female name.
Sound (feilinn (fay-linn)) most important.

Jóssursdóttir - The masculine given name Jósurr, which appears on page 12 of Geirr Bassi. The patronym is constructed according rules for formation of patronymic on page 17 of the same.

4: Agapios Cargos - New Name Forwarded

Agapios - Found in search on Lexicon of Greek Personal Names Volume IIa and IIIa. The Greek spelling is in the forward index. The Greek characters were not able to be pasted into OSCAR (http://www.lgpn.ox.ac.uk/online/downloads/index.html).

Cargos - Legal surname as per Connecticut Driver License, a copy of which is provided.

The Greek letters for the given name are alpha-gamma-alpha-pi-iota-omicron-sigma (http://www.lgpn.ox.ac.uk/database/lgpn.php).

5: Alcuin of Arundel - New Name Forwarded and New Device Forwarded

Azure, a chevron between two fleurs de lys and an open scroll Or charged with a quill pen bendwise azure.

Alcuin is found in the Middle English Dictionary s.n. bishinen in the Latin form "Alcuinus" dated to a1387. (http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/m/mec/med-idx?type=byte&byte=16137077&egdisplay=compact&egs=16142764&e gs=16139806&egs=16143794), and s.n. mencioun dated to 1470. (http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/m/mec/med-idx?type=byte&byte=111590978&egdisplay=compact&egs=111602336 &egs=111603955). The submitted form should be a plausible vernacular form.

The entries in the Middle English Dictionary refer to the historical Alcuinus, who was a luminary of Charlemagne's court and ultimately cannonized as a saint (http://saints.sqpn.com/blessed-alcuin/) . Alcuin is a plausible vernacular form of the saint's name.

6: Alexander Makcristyne - New Household Name Forwarded and New Badge Forwarded

House of Archers Ford

Azure, a fess checky Or and gules between two sheaves of arrows and a throwing axe Or.

House is a designator for household names, as found in Sharon Krossa, "A Brief, Incomplete, and Rather Stopgap Article about European Household and Other Group Names Before 1600" (http://medievalscotland.org/names/eurohouseholds/index.shtml), cited in Appendix E of SENA.
Archers Ford is intended here as a constructed placename, following the pattern of fords named after people, such as Ashford (possibly Eccel's ford), Alford (the one in Somerset is Ealdgyþ's ford), Aylesford (Ægel's ford), and Otford (Otta's ford), which are all headers in Ekwall. The pattern of surname/family name + generic toponym as the basis for a place name is found in Juliana de Luna's "Compound Placenames in English" (http://www.medievalscotland.org/jes/EnglishCompoundPlacenames/).

The pattern [designator] + [surname] + Ford appears to be supported by the registration of the household name Marshalls Ford Tavern on the July 2010 LoAR (A-East), which used the same documentation for the pattern of [surname] + Ford for a place name.

Commenters raised questions about the documentation for Archers Ford as a place name. Given the registration of Marshalls Ford Tavern based on the same documentation for the place name pattern, the submitted name appears plausible enough to send to Pelican.

With respect to the device, commenters raised questions about how the Unity of Posture rule of SENA A.3.D.2.c applies when dealing with charges in sheaves. Under the Rules for Submissions, "a sheaf of charges [was] considered as three charges in a specific arrangement, not a single charge." [From Wreath: On Sheaves, February 2008, Cover Letter]. I am sending this badge up to Wreath for guidance on the treatment of sheaves of charges under SENA.

7: Alke von Ossenheim - New Name Forwarded

Alke is a 14th century German name found in Talan Gwynek, "Medieval German Given Names from Silesia" (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/bahlow/bahlowFem.html).
von Ossenheim is part of her mother's registered name, Maria Erika von Ossenheim (Sept. 1991, East). A letter attesting the relationship has been provided.

8: Alleken Lüdeke - New Name Forwarded and New Device Forwarded

Azure, two narwhals haurient respectant horns in saltire and on a chief wavy argent a willow tree azure.

Alleken is found in Aryanhwy merch Catmael's "Women's Surnames in 15th- and 16th-Century Germany" (http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/german/womenssurnames.html) as a Low German women's given name.

Lüdeke is found in Bahlow (Gentry translation) on page 312 under the header Lüde(c)ke, Lüdemann, with this spelling dated to 1504 in Friesland.

Given + Byname is a listed pattern for German names in Appendix A of SENA.

As submitted, the posture of the narwhals was not blazoned; "haurient" has been added to the blazon.

9: Alys Attewater - New Name Forwarded and New Device Forwarded

Azure, an arrow inverted, a bordure embattled Or.

Alys appears in Talan Gwynek's "Feminine Given Names in A Dictionary of English Surnames" (http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/reaneyAG.html) s.n. Alice dated to 1525.

Despite multiple pieces of armory two DCs away, commenters found no conflicts for this device. While the arrow could be fatter, I believe it is sufficiently identifiable not to require a redraw.

10: Ameline Bernaerds - New Name Forwarded

Client requests authenticity for French/Dutch
Culture (French) most important

French and Dutch are listed as combinable regional naming groups in Appendix C of SENA (http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/sena.html#AppendixC)

Commenters made various suggestions for making the name more authentic, either as wholly Dutch or wholly French. I have reached out for the submitter to confirm her wishes, but meanwhile, since this name is registerable, I am forwarding it unchanged.

11: Andrew Blake of Edinburgh - New Name Forwarded and New Device Forwarded

Per saltire sable and gules, a saltire within a bordure Or.

Andrew - Black, Surnames of Scotland, p. 23 s.n. Andrew lists "Duncan fiz Andrew" dated to 1296.

Blake appears in Black p. 81 s.n. Blake with this spelling dated to c. 1266 and c. 1340.

Edinburgh is a place name appearing in Black p. 238 s.n. Edinburgh with the dated spellings "of Edynburgh" (1233-1255), "de Edinburgh" (1328) and "de Edynburgh" (1446).

This device is clear of that of Chlothar Bructerus (June 2002 via Trimaris): Per saltire sable and gules, a saltire gringolé voided humetty Or and a bordure argent. There is one DC for the tincture of the bordure. There should be a second DC for a plain saltire vs. a saltire gringolé voided humetty, which has snake heads and is voided.

12: Anelida Falconbridge - New Name Forwarded and New Device Forwarded

Argent, a winged snail contourny vert and on a chief embattled sable three mullets of four points extended to base argent.

Anelida is a character in Chaucer's The story of Queen Anelida and the false Artcie by Geoffrey Chaucer, printed at Westminster by William Caxton about the year 1477 (1905) p. 13 with the exact spelling of "Anelida" (http://archive.org/details/storyofqueenanel00chauuoft). The spelling does not appear to be modernized.

In addition to the above, the Chaucer Name Dictionary, by J. de Weever, has an entry for "Anelida, Anelyda" on p.25.

Commentary was divided on the identifiability of the winged snail. I believe this issue is best addressed through an artist's note and am opting to send it up.

13: Azumi Nariko - New Device Forwarded

Azure, three crescents conjoined in pall inverted points outward, a roundel argent within each crescent.

14: Bianca di Firenze - New Name Forwarded and New Device Forwarded

Per chevron azure and argent, in cross three passion nails argent and a pomegranate gules.

Bianca is found in "Fourteenth Century Venetian Personal Names," by Arval Benicoeur and Talan Gwynek (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/arval/venice14/venice14given.html#table). The accent mark is per De Felice Dizionario Dei Nomi Italiani s.n. Biànca. Eastern Crown notes that the accents used in De Felice do not reflect period spelling; they are used to indicate pronunciation. By precedent, the accent will have to be removed for registration. [Callista Teresa di Bella 03/2000 LoAR A-Caid].

Appendix A of SENA states that, for Italian names, "[l]ocative bynames in the northern and central areas normally take the form da X, but de X and di X are rarely found." di Firenze therefore is a valid form.

The given name was submitted as Biànca. As I noted in the documentation summary, the accents used in De Felice do not reflect period spelling, and the accent mark must be removed for registration. [Callista Teresa di Bella 03/2000 LoAR A-Caid]. The removal of an accent mark is not a major change.

15: Bj{o,}rn bogsveigir - New Name Forwarded and New Device Forwarded

Sable, on a bend Or between two bear's pawprints argent, three arrows palewise inverted sable.

Bj{o,}rn is a masucline given name appearing in Geirr Bassi at p. 8.

bogsveigir is a descriptive byname meaning "bow-swayer, archer" appearing in Geirr Bassi at p. 20.

Under Appendix G of SENA, the use of paw prints is a step from period practice (SFPP).

16: Bronwyn of the Kings Field - New Badge Forwarded

(Fieldless) On a mastiff statant Or marked sable an escarbuncle sable.

The submitter has a device, Vert, an eagle and on a chief indented argent three escarbuncles azure, registered in March of 2012 (via the East).

Some question was raised in commentary about whether the description "marked sable" adequately described the coloring of the mastiff. Looking at images of mastiffs, the only logical place to have a marking is on the face precisely as this is drawn. I did not, therefore, change the blazon.

17: Cacht Mhór inghean Mhic an Mhadaidh - New Name Forwarded and New Device Returned

Purpure, three oak leaves in pall argent.

Cacht is a Middle and Early Modern Irish Gaelic feminine given name appearing in Mari ingen Briain's "Index of Names in Irish Annals" (http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Feminine/Cacht.shtml) with an Annals date of 1054 and 1231.

While prior registration is no guarantee, Eastern Crown notes that Cellach Dhonn inghean Mhic an Mhadaidh and Síle Dhubh inghean Mhic an Mhadaidh, both using the identical documentation for the byname, were registered on the April 2012 LoAR (A-East).

Unfortunately, this device conflicts with that of Ki no Kotori (Dec. 2005 via Calontir): Gules, three holly leaves conjoined in pall and fructed argent. Although there is a single DC for the field, by precedent, there is no DC between oak leaves and holly leaves. [Kynda of Hollyoak, April 1994, R-East] There is no additional DC to be gained from the fact that Cacht's leaves are not conjoined or fructed.

18: Cailin Macsalny - New Name Forwarded and New Device Forwarded

Gules, on a pale argent between in chief two flames Or in chief a pheon inverted gules, the pale surmounted in base by a boar's head couped Or.

Cailin is found as a male given name in Sharon Krossa's "Scottish Gaelic Given Names" (http://medievalscotland.org/scotnames/gaelicgiven/men/cailin.shtml) with dated citations around 1467.

Gaelic and Scots combinations are permitted under Appendix C of SENA.

Commenters did a fair amount of tinkering with the original blazon, which I agree more accurately reflects the submitted image.

19: Caitilin inghean mhic Ruadhain - New Name Forwarded and New Device Forwarded

Or, on a bend between two annulets vert three eggs palewise Or.

Caitilin is found as an Early Modern Irish Gaelic feminine given name in "Index of Names in Irish Annals" by Mari ingen Briain (http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Feminine/Caitilin.shtml), with Annals dates from 1411 to 1592.

Accents may be omitted from Gaelic names as long as they are done consistently.

The term palewise was added to the blazon to describe the orientation of the eggs.

20: Christence Clare Blackmoore - New Name Change Forwarded and New Device Change Forwarded

Per pale Or and gules, on a flame a six-petaled rose all counterchanged and on a chief triangular sable a ducal coronet Or.

Christence is grandfathered to the submitter; it was submitted as a constructed name based on patterns in English and French. (see 01/26/1994 East LoI in OSCAR at https://oscar.sca.org/dis-loiloc.php?W=LoI/East/1994_01_26/ pp 4 & 5).

The submitter is a Duchess (4/1/1995 via the East) and is entitled to bear a ducal coronet on her arms.

The blazon was corrected to describe the rose as a six-petaled rose rather than a 6 petal rose. A question was raised in commentary about six-petaled roses. Istvan Wreath Emeritus provided evidence that six-petaled roses were found in period heraldry:

Stemmario Trivulziano. Page 243: (https://oscar.sca.org/showimage.php?I=1/2012-01-31/20-24-30_rose5.jpg)
The blazon for the bottom center, de Rostis, is: "D'argento, allo schidione posto in banda d'azzurro con un taglio de carne per arrosto infilzato di rosso; l'insieme accpagnato da due rose del medesimo, bottonate d'oro, i sepali di verde, poste 'una nel cantone sinistro del capo, l'altra nell'angolo destro della punta. Stemma parlante." SCA blazon translation: "Argent, a roasting skewer in bend azure impaling a roast gules all between two roses in bend sinister gules barbed vert seeded Or. Canting arms."

Parker, A Dictionary of Heraldry, s.n. Rose (http://www.heraldsnet.org/saitou/parker/Jpglossr.htm#Rose): "The heraldic rose should consist of five foils as drawn in the example; though examples are to be found with six foils, and perhaps with four."

21: Dalla meyla - New Name Forwarded and New Device Forwarded

Gyronny vert and Or, a bee sable.

Dalla is a feminine given name found in Geirr Bassi, p. 9.

meyla is a descriptive byname found in Geirr Bassi, p. 25 and is stated to mean 'little maid.'

Commentary identified a potential conflict with Alicia Vespasiana (Aug. 1995 via the East): (Fieldless) A fly sable winged argent. There is one DC for fielded vs. fieldless. There is no DC for the difference between a fly and a bee. [Hannibal Beman, April 2008 LoAR, R-Ansteorra]. However, there is a second DC for the change in tincture of the wings of the insect, which are considered to be half the charge. [Hannibal Beman, April 2008 LoAR, R-Ansteorra].

22: Eadgyth æt Stæningum - New Alternate Name Forwarded

Edith Steyning

Edith is found in Talan Gwynek's "Feminine Given Names in A Dictionary of English Surnames," s.n Edith, with this form dated in 13th and 14th centuries.

Steyning appears as a header form in Ekwall, s.n. Steyning, which lists several dated Old English forms. The submitter would like her byname to be as close to the modern spelling as possible. She allows adding/deleting a word like "de," "of" or "the" or changing language when the change is small.

Steyning appears in the gray area in the IGI Parish Records:

Richard Steyning Male Christening 07 Sep 1623 Rudgwick, Sussex, England Batch: C070971
Jane Steyning Female Christening 18 Mar 1621 Rudgwick, Sussex, England Batch: C070971
William Steyning Male Christening 06 Nov 1621 Rudgwick, Sussex, England Batch: C070971

23: Eadgyth æt Stæningum - New Name Forwarded and New Badge Forwarded

(Fieldless) On a broken-back seax argent a flax stem vert flowered azure.

Eadgyth is found in Searle, s.n. Eadgyth as the name as an abbess in 984, wife of an earl in 1010, and the wife of Henry I.

The submitter will accept changes to fix the grammar of the byname as long as no changes are made to the given name.

In addition to the documentation provided, Withycombe dates "Eadgyth" from the 10th C.

Konrad Rouge Scarpe, who consulted on this badge at Pennsic, provided the following:

Another typical form of the seax is the so-called broken-back style seax. These seaxes have a sharp angled transition between the back section of the blade and the point, the latter generally forming 1/3 to 3/5 of the blade length. These seaxes exist both in long seax variety (edge and back parallel) and in smaller blades of various lengths (blade expanding first, then narrowing towards the tip after the kink). They occurred mostly in the UK and Ireland, with some examples in Germany around 8th-11th century. Some examples have patternwelded blades, while others have inlays of silver, copper, brass, etc. from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seax.

24: Eckehart Kaltenbrun - New Name Forwarded and New Device Forwarded

Counter-ermine, a plate and a base rayonny Or.

Eckehart - "Medieval German Given Names from Silesia" by Talan Gwynek (http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/names/bahlow_v.htm), s.n. Eckehard, lists Eckehart as a male given name in 1351.

Kaltenborn - Brechenmacher, s.n. Kaltenborn dates Kaltenbrunner in 1383.

Submitted as Eckehart Kaltenborn, the submitted form was not documented. Istvan Wreath Emeritus found evidence of Kaltenbrun on p. 347 of "Acta publica inter invictissimos Gloriossimosque &c. Matthiam Felicissimae Recordationis, et Ferdninandvm II..." published in 1621. (http://books.google.com/books?id=WN9CAAAAcAAJ). In addition, the IGI Parish Records (extracts) have:

Wolffgang Kaltenbrunn Male Christening 12 May 1616 Evangelisch, Esslingen, Neckarkeis, Wuerttemberg Batch: C94136-3

25: Eldrich Gaiman - New Badge Returned

(Fieldless) A caltrop sable.

Unfortunately, this badge conflicts with Eskalya, Barony of (March 1987 via the West): Per chevron sable and Or, a caltrap sable and must be returned.

26: Eldrich Gaiman - New Badge Forwarded

(Fieldless) A gonfanon counter-ermine.

This badge may be a resubmission from a February 2008 return of a badge by Laurel. I will follow up with the submitter about the fees, but whether this is a resubmission does not affect the disposition of the badge. Question was raised in commentary about whether a gonfanon was an indepedent form of armorial display. Even charges that are independent forms of armorial display are registerable if they are a single tincture and uncharged. [Solveig Throndardottir, April 2002 LoAR, A-Æthelmearc].

27: Elena Rosa da Venezia - New Name Forwarded and New Device Forwarded

Per fess wavy purpure and barry wavy azure and argent, a demi-sun Or issuant from the line of division and a bordure Or semy of roundels purpure.

Elena is a feminine given name found in "Names from Sixteenth Century Venice" by Juliana de Luna (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/juliana/16thcvenice.html).

The submitter allows adding/deleting a word like "de" or "the" or changing language when the change is small.

The blazon has been corrected to indicate that the lower portion of the field is barry wavy argent and azure.

28: Elena Rose Greenwood - New Name Forwarded and New Device Returned

Azure, in bend a drop spindle inverted and a sprig of heather bendwise sinister argent.

Elena is a feminine given name found in Withycombe p. 101 s.n. Ellen with this spelling dated to 1213-15 and 1346.

The white sprig of heather is intended to be a cant on her modern name.

Appendix A of SENA states that double given names in English are found "late." Commenters questioned whether the given names here were sufficiently "late." Both Elena and Rose are found in the 16th century: Elena is a Latinized form found s.n. Ellen in Aryanhwy merch Catmael's "English Given Names from 16th and Early 17th C Marriage Records" (http://heraldry.sca.org/names/english/parishes/parishes.html), dated to 1593, 1598 and 1611. Rose is found in "English Names found in Brass Enscriptions" by Julian Goodwyn (http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/names/brasses/women.html) dated to 1537.

With respect to the device, it must be returned because it violates the Unity of Posture rule of SENA A.3.D.2.c: "The charges within a charge group should be in either identical postures/orientations or an arrangement that includes posture/orientation (in cross, combatant, or in pall points outward, for example). A charge group in which postures for different charges must be blazoned individually will not be allowed without period examples of that combination of postures." The drop spindle and sprig of heather are co-primary charges in different postures, which is not permitted.

29: Evelyn la Fleur - New Name Forwarded and New Device Forwarded

Per pale argent and vert, two gazelles passant respectant and in chief three torses in chevron counterchanged.

Evelyn is found in "English Names found in Brass Enscriptions" by Julian Goodwyn (http://heraldry.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/brasses/women.html) dated to 1393.

la Fleur appears in the IGI Parish Records (extracts) as follows:
Anne La Fleur Female Christening 30 Aug 1625 Saint-Medard, Verdun-Sur-Meuse, France Batch: C826021
Claude La Fleur Male Christening 13 Dec 1593 St-Pierre-l'Angelé, Verdun-sur-Meuse, Meuse, France Batch: C826041

English and French can be combined under Appendix C of SENA.

30: Gertrudis Kornman - New Name Forwarded and New Device Forwarded

Per fess purpure and argent, a dandelion slipped and leaved proper its blossom pierced by an arrow bendwise sinister argent.

Gertrudis is a feminine given name found in Talan Gwynek's "German Given Names 1200-1250" (http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/names/germ13.html). She wants no changes be made to the given name.

Kornmenyn is found in Brechenmacher (volume K-Z), p. 96 s.n. Kornmann, which says "1363 Hilta dicta Kornmenyn". The submitter would prefer the spelling Kornman (or Kornmann) if a dated citation for it can be found.

The submitter's desired surname of Kornman can be found in the IGI Parish Records (extracts): Anna Kornman Female Christening 04 Nov 1642 Evangelisch, Reichelsheim Friedberg, Oberhessen, Hesse-Darmstadt Batch: C93888-1
Barbara Kornman Female Christening Dec 1560 Evangelisch, Bopfingen, Jagstkreis, Wuerttemberg Batch: C92388-1
Ursula Kornman Female Christening 14 Nov 1619 Stadtkirche Evangelish, Pforzheim, Karlsruhe, Baden Batch: C93543-1 I therefore changed the surname from the submitted Kornmenyn to the requested Kornman.

Gertrudis continued to be found in German records contemporaneous with the requested spelling of the byname:

Gertrudis Ackhermans Female Christening 14 May 1600 Roemisch-Katholische, Bingen Stadt, Rheinhessen, Hesse-Darmstadt Batch: C99470-5

31: Giacomo di Bernardo - New Name Forwarded

Giacomo is a masculine given name that occurs 12 times in Aryanhwy merch Catmael, "Italian Names from the Online Tratte of Office Holders 1282-1532" (http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/italian/tratte/). It also appears once in Juliana de Luna, "Names in 15th Century Florence and her Dominions: the Condado" (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/juliana/condado/mansalpha.html).

According to Appendix A of SENA di B is the standard form for a patronymic byname in Italian. (http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/sena.html#AppendixA). Commenters are asked to find support for capitalizing Di.

Commenters were unable to find support for capitalizing the first letter of the preposition di. The name has been changed to the usual capitalization for Italian names.

32: Gianetta Lucia Allegretta - New Badge Forwarded

(Fieldless) On an escallop inverted azure a pomegranate Or seeded gules.

33: Gwenlliana Vachan - New Name Forwarded

Gwenlliana appears as a female given name in "A Simple Guide to Constructing 16th Century Welsh Names (in English Contexts)" by by Tangwystyl verch Morgant Glasvryn (http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/welsh16.html). In addition, Academy of St. Gabriel Report 2260 (http://www.s-gabriel.org/2260) discusses Gwenlliana as a Latinized form or semi-Latinized Welsh form, with the following footnotes:
[1] Pierce, T. Jones "Lay Subsidy Account 242/50 [A.D. 1293]" in BBCS vol.5 part 2 (May 1930) p.142-8. (manor of Nevyn)
[2] Williams-Jones, Keith. The Merioneth Lay Subsidy Roll 1292-3. Cardiff: University of Wales Press, 1976.

Vachan is the feminine form of a descriptive byname meaning "small, junior" found in "A Simple Guide to Constructing 13th Century Welsh Names" by Tangwystyl verch Morgant Glasvryn (http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/welsh13.html).

34: Helena Lundonie - New Name Forwarded and New Device Forwarded

Argent, on a chevron inverted vert between a chalice gules and a brown dog rampant to sinister proper, three escallops argent.

Helena appears in Talan Gwynek's "Feminine Given Names in A Dictionary of English Surnames" (http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/reaneyHZ.html) s.n. Helen with this spelling dated to 1210.

The submitter will accept the given name Elena if needed for registration.

Lillia Diademe identified instances of the byname contemporaneous with the given name:

Henricus dei gratia Rex Anglorum et Dux Normannorum et Aquitannorum et Comes Andegavorum Archiepiscopis Episcopis Abbatibus Comitibus Baronibus Iusticiariis Vicecomitibus et omnibus ministris et fidelibus totius Anglie salutem Sciatis me concessisse et presenti carta confirmasse ecclesie Sancti Bartholomei de Lundonie...

'Henry by the grace of God, King of the English Duke of the Normans and the Angevins to the archbishops, bishops, abbots, earls, barons, and of Aquitaine and Count of Justices, sheriffs, and all his officials and to the faithful of the whole of England, greeting Know ye that I have granted and by this present charter have confirmed to the church of St Bartholomew the of London...'

35: Helena Lundonie - New Badge Forwarded

Per chevron inverted argent and azure, on a chevron inverted vert between a chalice gules and a Paschal Lamb argent, three escallops argent.

A Paschal lamb is considered a single charge. [Sebastian of Ventbarré, Jan. 2004 LoAR. R-Lochac]. Thus, while complex, this badge is not returnable as overly complex. The term inverted was inserted in the blazon to describe more accurately the submitted image.

(Fieldless) A schnechke couped maintaining three schneckes on its back sable.

All parts of this name are grandfathered to the submitter.
While under the RfS, this name was a likely conflict with the registered Marie du Bois, commenters are asked to re-evaluate this conflict under SENA. In addition, commenters are asked to consider whether the historic Marie de Blois, Countess of Provence and Regent of Naples, is sufficiently significant to protect. Eastern Crown notes that the historic Marie de Blois does not have a separate article in the on-line Encyclopedia Britannica.

Marie du Bois was registered in January 1985 (via Calontir). Commentary was divided on whether this was a conflict. Therefore, I am sending the matter up to Pelican to decide. I received no commentary on whether the historic Marie de Blois was significant enough to protect.

Commenters also suggested a possible conflict with Mariel du Bois, registered in July 2008 (via Gleann Abhann). SENA: PN.3.C.2 states: "The addition or removal of a syllable makes two names substantially different in sound." I have concluded, therefore, that Mariel is not a conflict.

The badge was withdrawn by the submitter.
