Sable, a bell Or.

Badge for the Award of the Chime.

From the consulting herald: "The initial registration was rejected since Laurel felt the church bell conflicted with a hand bell. Since they were both fieldless, this may be so. The new submission attempts to correct this by including a field of black — the inversion of the Baronial Arms. This should clear the conflict."

This is apparently in reference to a conflict with An Tir (Sep 1997), (Fieldless) A hand bell Or. If Laurel judged that there was no CD for the bell type, then there is only one CD for the field. Changing the field to sable does not clear the conflict, and may introduce other conflicts as well. Please check for new conflicts, so that we can provide as much conflict information as possible for Carillion's next badge submission for this award.

Quarterly vert and sable, on a tower argent a fret gules.

According to the submitter:

'Because of the vast varieties of cultures that made up the Scots, there was no real standardization with naming practices in Scotland (Grimble, pg. 11). It has also been noted that variations in the use of the prefix "Mac" (Mac, Mc, M') has very little significance towards the identity of a person (Munro, pg. 6).

'The name "Iain" was and still is used extensively through Scotland. Since I still haven't decided on an exact time for my persona, I searched for references to the name "Iain" between the 13th and 16th Centuries in Scotland.

'In my references, the names "Iain", "Eoin", and "John" are all used, which indicates to me the books are not just Anglicized or use whatever name looks best, and should be considered good references.

'The capitalization of the "q" is not really important, as I have seen "Macquarrie" spelled at least a dozen different ways during the Period. This is the way I wish to spell it (lowercase "q") as that seems to be the most common.

'According to the Academy of St. Gabriel, place-names were almost never used in Scotland, "Iain Macquarrie of Ulva" being a good example. My research has indicated that this is not necessarily true. On nearly every page of my resources, there is a reference to "Name of Place", with given names a swell as surnames. If the College desires, I will be happy to send copies of these references as well.'

Note: there is an extensive bibliography included with this submission, as well as several pages of photocopies.

Previous device submission, Argent, two talbots sejant reguardant respectant gules, was returned by Laurel in June 1999, for conflict with Sigrun Magnusdottir, Argent, a red fox sejant to sinister reguardant proper. There was no difference between a dog and a fox, so there is was one CD for the addition of the second dog. This submission adds a second CD for the ermine.

[I'd like some opinions on this submission. Can anyone provide documentation for an Italian feminine name constructed of three parts? Does anyone know anything about Norman's "A World of Baby Names"? Does anyone have other documentation for the names "Marina", "Francesca", and/or "Giovanna"? Note: The submitter will not allow any changes (major or minor) to the name as submitted. If we cannot support all of it, we cannot support any of it.]
