Warmest greetings unto the College of Heralds of the Kingdom of Lochac, and unto any others who may read this missive from Wakeline de Foxley, Crux Australis Principal Herald
This month saw another Crown run and won. All in all, it was a great event, though it would have been better had someone thought to turn the sun down a touch! My thanks go to Hrothgar, to Katje and Massaria for their field work and to Leonie for handling evening court so that I could enjoy the food and the company. I am sure that I speak for all of us in adding my thanks to Countess Yolande for taking pity on us all and lending us her umbrella.
As most of you will know, the Queen has asked that I run a poll to determine the level of support for changing the Consort's device. Recently Laurel ruled that we can "upgrade" our currently registered Princess' device to that for a Consort. However, to change the device to that suggested by Her Majesty (with help from the Ladies of the Rose) requires a poll. I know that some of you will not be thrilled by this development, but ther it is. Let's run this poll and see what happens. Poll forms have appeared in the November Pegasus and are available from the College's web site. I have asked that completed poll forms be sent either to me or handed to local heralds. If you do collect any, then please send them on to me at your convenience.

Cost: $20 per new submission (name, device or badge). No cost for resubmissions (within the permitted time limit) or branch submissions. Note: a new name and device costs a total of $40. Make cheques or money orders payable to "SCA Inc. College of Heralds". Do not send cash through the post!
NAMES: Two (2) copies of both the form and ALL documentation, including title page of each book NB: The title page is not the same as the book cover! Essays about a submitter's persona may be entertaining, but do NOT constitute documentation. When citing web sites as documentation, you must include a printout of the pages used. Please don't staple your forms, paperclips are fine and loose is ok too.
DEVICES AND BADGES: Four (4) colour copies and one (1) black & white OUTLINE copy. The colour copies should be accurately coloured, preferably in felt tip pen. Colour printers or faint coloured pencil is not acceptable. The colours must be visible across a crowded Herald's meeting. Laurel has requested that gold pen NOT be used, as it deteriorates in files and turns to glue. Please don't staple your forms, assuming that all goes well at kingdom level they are separated and go to four different homes. Paperclips are fine and loose is ok too.
Please include ALL necessary documentation to support each submission. It is the responsibility of the submitter to present their submission in a way that makes registration easy. Name documentation should be as accurate as possible. Failure to provide sufficient documentation is a cause for return of your submission. If you are having trouble with your documentation then speak to your local herald. If they can't answer your specific question, consider writing to Blazons, or contacting me. If I don't know the answer but I will at least be able to point you in the direction of someone who will.
The November meeting was held on Tuesday 1st November 2005.
Present at the meeting were Wakeline de Foxley, Crux Australis Herald and
Massaria da Cortona; Baryl Herald.

1. Bartholomew Baskin Blanket Permission to Conflict with Name and Device
The submitter has provided a letter of permission to conflict with
both his registered name and his registered device. The condition for
the permission to conflict with the registered device as that any new
armory be at least one countable difference from the registered form.
The form of the letter follows that suggested in appendix D of the
Administrative Handbook. |
|
|
2. Diarmait ó Riagáin New name (see Returns for device). The submitter seeks a name authentic for a 12 to
13th century Irish male. He will allow minor changes and in the event
of such changes cares most about language/culture. |
|
|
3. Seraphina le Dauncer Name and device Resubmission. Per chevron gules and azure, two eastern dragons passant respectant chevronwise and in base a griffin passant Or. This submission was previously considered by Crux
in March 2005. Both name and device were returned at that time, the name
because it did not comply with the request for authenticity made by the
submitter and the device because it was on a shield of the wrong shape.
The submitter as since relax the request for authenticity and rectified
the device forms. |
|
|
1. Diarmait ó Riagáin Device Resubmission (see Acceptances for name). Vert a pall inverted Or and a harp, an anvil and a shamrock argent. This is being returned for being "slot machine"
heraldry because it has three different charges in the secondary charge
group. |
|
|
2. Saint Basil the Great, College of Device Resubmission. Per pale indented sable and argent, a tower counterchanged withi a laurel wreath vert. The college's previous attempt "Per pale sable and
argent, a tower broken counterchanged and on a base Or two laurel
sprigs bases crossed in saltire vert" was returned by Laurel in April
2004 for having an unregisterable motif of a "broken tower" in addition
to several stylistic problems. However, the name was registered at that
time. |
|
|
1. Catalina de Gata Device Resubmission. Gules, on a bend Or three lions' heads palewise gules. This device was returned by Crux in October 2001
for conflict with Sebastian de Ventbarré "Gules, on a bend sinister Or,
three wings palewise, each terminating in a hand brandishing a sword
sable". |
|
Acceptances
Caterina Sansovino. Name.
Eleanor of Caithness. Badge. Per pale sable and argent, a quiver holding two arrows overall two swords in saltire all per pale argent and sable.
Hrothgar æt Gytingbroce. Name change from holding name Hrothgar of Rowany.
Kjartan Stafngrimsson. Name and device. Argent, an octopus azure.
Ulfrikr inn Hrafn. Reblazon of device. Paly bendy argent and sable, a sword bendwise sinister sustained by a hand issuant from an eagle's sinister wing fesswise gules.
Originally registered 08/1999 and blazoned as Paly bendy argent and sable, an eagle's wing fesswise terminating on the dexter side in a hand sustaining a sword gules, this follows the exemplar of the Marques of Villena (as discussed in the Cover Letter) and should use the preferred blazon. In addition, the wing is a sinister wing and the sword is bendwise. This item was added by Laurel staff.
Returns
None!
