College of Arms Letters of Acceptances and Returns for December 2025
The Mural Herald of the East Kingdom College of Heralds shares the following results of the December 2025 heraldic decisions from the SCA College of Arms.
This month there were no returns, and the following submissions have been approved.
• Bran Bjarnarson. Name.
This name combines an Irish Gaelic given name and an Old Norse byname, an acceptable lingual mix per SENA Appendix C.
• Galienne la Bourgoingne. Alternate name Galiena the Small.
• Galienne la Bourgoingne. Alternate name H{oe}na in litla.
• Galienne la Bourgoingne. Device. Purpure, a hen contourny and a base argent.
Nice cant on the Middle French word geline, meaning “chicken”!
• Guntram Strobel. Name.
• Guntram Strobel. Device. Per fess vert and argent, an acorn Or and a flame gules.
• Rúni Jameson. Name.
This name combines an Old Norse given name and an English byname, an acceptable lingual mix per SENA Appendix C.
• Rúni Jameson. Device. Per chevron inverted argent and gules, a mullet of seven points gules.
This device does not conflict with the device of Ucko D’Aosta, Per chevron inverted argent and azure, in chief a caltrop gules. There is a DC for changing the tincture of half the field. We have previously ruled that there is a DC between a caltrop and a mullet of five points [Stargate, Barony of, 06/2025, R-Ansteorra]. We now extend that decision to grant a DC between a caltrop and a mullet of five or more points, giving us a second DC.
