The following results are from the September 2016 Wreath and Pelican meetings.

EAST acceptances

Alric the Younger. Name.

The byname the younger is found in the Oxford English Dictionary, dated to the 15th century.

Astriðr Sægeirsdottir. Name and device. Azure, two musical notes and a spool of thread Or.

Submitted as Astriðr Sægeirrsdottir, the genitive (possessive) form of Sægeirr is Sægeirs, so we have changed the byname to Sægeirsdottir to register this name.

Beatrice della Rocca. Name.

Nice 15th century Italian name!

Bella di Sicilia. Name.

Both elements are found in “Names of Jews in Rome In the 1550’s” by Yehoshua ben Haim haYerushalmi (http://heraldry.sca.org/names/Jewish/rome_article), making this a nice 16th century name for a Jewish woman living in Rome!

Brennan MacFergus. Badge. (Fieldless) On a wolf’s pawprint sable a ducal coronet Or.

There is a step from period practice for the use of a pawprint.

Bryniarr Ísólfsson. Name.

Nice 13th century Norse name!

Conn mac Branáin. Name and device. Ermine, six acorns azure.

Nice 12th century Irish Gaelic name!

The submitter has permission to conflict with the badge of Stephan of Silverforge: Quarterly per fess indented azure and argent, six acorns azure.

Nice device!

Endewearde, Barony of. Branch name change from Endeweard, Barony of.

The Old English wearde is only found prior to 1200, but is unattested in Old English place names. Ende was documented in the Letter of Intent as an Old English word, but all of the examples provided were as a Middle English deuterotheme (second element). Examples of “End” as a prototheme (first element) include Thendmoore (1586) and Endmoore (17th century), found in Watts, s.n. Endmoor, and Endegat (1201) and Endegate (1208) found in Ekwall, s.n. Ingate. The Old English -wearde cannot be combined with the Middle English Ende- in the same name phrase.

However, we can construct the barony’s preferred spelling entirely in Middle English. A place named le Wearde is found in the 13th century (‘Inquisitions Post Mortem, Edward I, File 98’, in Calendar of Inquisitions Post Mortem: Volume 3, Edward I; http://www.british-history.ac.uk/inquis-post-mortem/vol3/pp489-508). The family name Ende (derived from the toponym atte Ende) is found in the late 14th century (An Essay Towards A Topographical History of the County of Norfolk; http://www.british-history.ac.uk/topographical-hist-norfolk/vol1/pp345-359). Compound place names formed from the pattern family name + place name are found in Juliana de Luna’s “Compound Placenames in English” (http://medievalscotland.org/jes/EnglishCompoundPlacenames/). Therefore, we are able to register the barony’s preferred form.

The barony’s previous name, Barony of Endeweard, is released.

Endewearde, Barony of. Order name change to Order of the Beacon of Endewearde from Order of the Beacon of Endeweard.

The previous order name, Order of the Beacon of Endeweard, is released.

Endewearde, Barony of. Order name change to Order of the Keystone of Endewearde from Order of the Keystone of Endeweard.

The previous order name, Order of the Keystone of Endeweard, is released.

Endewearde, Barony of. Order name change to Order of the Portcullis of Endewearde from Order of the Portcullis of Endeweard.

The previous order name, Order of the Portcullis of Endeweard, is released.

Eowyn Eilonwy of Alewife Brook. Heraldic will.

Upon her demise, Eowyn grants blanket permission to conflict for any names and armory that are not identical to her own.

Erich Guter Muth. Name and device. Azure, a serpent in annulo vorant of its own tail and a chief rayonny argent.

Submitted as Erich Gutermuth, the byname was an undated header form found in Bahlow/Gentry. As commenters were unable to date this element, we have changed the byname to Guter Muth with the submitter’s permission in order to register this name.

Erich Guter Muth. Badge. (Fieldless) A goose volant to sinister gules.

Gyða Úlfsdóttir. Device. Per pale purpure and argent, a sword between two wolves combattant counterchanged.

Please advise the submitter to draw the sword wider so it is easier to identify.

Hedda Bonesetter. Device. Azure, a comet bendwise sinister inverted Or between in bend two bones fracted argent, on the head of the comet a mullet of six points gules.

Ile du Dragon Dormant, Baronnie de l’. Order name Award of Dragons Scale.

In commentary, Siren noted that escama (“scale”, as in scale mail) is used in a 15th century Spanish order name, named after its badge of a circle of scales.

Jean Michel le Vaud. Name and device. Per saltire sable and gules, a wolf rampant argent and in chief a crescent Or.

Leo MacCullan. Name and device. Sable, a lion’s head erased and on a chief argent a mullet of four points in dexter sable.

Leonora of Østgarðr. Holding name and device (see PENDS for name). Per chevron gules and Or, three lions couchant counterchanged.

Submitted under the name Leonora da Ferrara.

Mærhild æt Anestige. Name and device. Lozengy sable and argent, three fig leaves in pall stems conjoined vert, a bordure Or.

Submitted as Mærhild of Anestig, a timely correction to the Letter of Intent noted that the submitter preferred the byname æt Anestige. We are happy to make this change.

Nishi’o Kageme. Name and device. Or, three hexagons gules each charged with a daisy argent and in chief a increscent azure.

Submitted as Nishi’o Kageme, the name inadvertently appeared in the Letter of Intent as Kagame. We have restored it to the submitted form.

There is a step from period practice for the use of hexagons.

Ragnarr bláskegg. Name.

Nice Old Icelandic name!

Simon Talbot. Name and device. Azure, a chevron Or mullety azure betwen three talbots passant Or.

The submitter requested authenticity for Elizabethan England. Both elements are found in London in 1582, so this name meets the submitter’s request.

Nice cant!

Ulf Jagenteufel. Name and device. Gules, a bend per bend nebuly argent and sable between five open books Or.

Ulf is the submitter’s legal given name.

Ulfgeirr Ragnarsson. Badge. (Fieldless) Within and conjoined to the attires of a stag’s head caboshed sable a mullet of four points elongated to base argent.

There is a step from period practice for the use of a mullet elongated to base.

Violet Hughes. Device change. Purpure, a punner argent.

Nice device!

 

EAST pends

Leonora da Ferrara. Name.

Following the Pelican decision meeting, the question was raised whether this name presumes upon that of Eleanor of Naples, also known as Leonora of Aragon, who was the first Duchess of Ferrara. Therefore, we are pending this name to allow a discussion on this issue.

Ferrara was documented in the Letter of Intent from Florentine Renaissance Resources: Online Tratte of Office Holders 1282-1532, which normalized the place names. The submitted spelling is also found in “Some Names From Giovanni Boccaccio’s Il Decameron” by Giata Magdalena Alberti (2013 KWHSS Proceedings).

Her device is registered under the holding name Leonora of Østgarðr.

This was item 20 on the East letter of June 30, 2016.

From the Brigantia Herald

brigantia, heraldric submissions, Tir Mara

badge HeraldGreetings from Ryan Brigantia, Principal Herald of the East.

Last year we announced that we would be able to accept Heraldic submissions from Tir Mara in Canadian dollars. We, at the time, were under the impression that a bank account for the Tir Mara College of Heralds would be an easy thing to have created and we could begin this process quickly.

Despite a year of trying to get this arranged, due to several complications both in the Canadian Banking system and the US and Canadian requirements for a 503(c) non-profit organization, we have been unable to open the required account. The Tir Maran regional heralds, the Kingdom, regional and Society Exchequers, and members of the Heraldic Senior Staff have poured weeks and months into this endeavor only to get stymied by the requirements of the Society and Canadian Banking system.

Unfortunately I have to suspend the Acceptance of cheques in Canadian Dollars starting now, and until further notice. Once a Tir Maran bank account is established we will revisit this endeavor. The submissions heralds of both the Kingdom and Tir Mara have worked around the problems, hand delivering checks to each other. To Mistress Alys and Baroness Jeanne, you have my continuing and eternal thanks for all the hours you have both sunk into this endeavor to try to make it work.

To the populace of Tir Mara, I can only say that we will continue to endeavor to make it as easy for you to make a heraldic submission as it is for the other three regions of the Kingdom. We will continue to work on this problem.

-Ryan Brigantia

Salutation de Ryan Brigantia, héraut principal du Royaume de l’Est.

L’an passé nous avions annoncé que nous allions accepter les soumissions héraldique des citoyens de Tir Mara en argent canadien. À ce moment nous étions sous l’impression que la création d’un compte de banque pour le Collège des Hérauts de Tir Mara allait être facile.

Après un an de travail acharné et dù à plusieurs complications avec les systèmes bancaire canadien et américain ainsi que les éléments requis pour les organismes à but non lucratif 503 (c) nous avons été dans l’incapacité d’ouvrir le compte requis. Le héraut régional, celui du Royaume, les échiquiers régional et de la SCA inc. ansi que les membre séniors du College des Hérauts ont travaillés d’arrache pied durant des semaines et des mois pour répondre au exigences des systèmes bancaires canadien ainsi que de la SCA inc., malheureusement ce fut un échec.

Malheureusement je me dois de suspendre l’acceptation de chèque en argent canadien à ce moment et ce jusqu’à avis contraire. Quand Tir Mara sera munis d’un compte de banque nous pourrons revisiter cette avenue. Les hérauts responsable des soumissions ont travaillé durant l’année en contournant le problème en délivrant les chèques en main propre. À Mistress Alys et à Baronne Jeanne, vous avez mes remerciements continue et éternel pour toute les heures que vous avez placés dans ce projet tentant de le faire fonctionner.

À la population de Tir Mara, nous continuerons de travailler pour faire que les soumissions héraldique soit le plus facile possible comme il en est pour les trois autres régions du Royaume. Nous continuons à travailler sur le problème

-Ryan Brigantia
