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
Greetings all,
As most of you know, Karl has decided to move on from his role as Canon. My
thanks to Karl for all of his hard work, in what is undoubtedly the most
thankless role in the College. We all know that CanonLore is very spiffy; I am
quite sure that it will serve the Kingdom well for years to come.
CanonLore is not yet complete; it needs some more work done on the data-entry
system before it can be considered fully operational. We are working on that,
although the help of anyone who knows all those web-programmy acronyms will be
most welcome!
I don't think it is wise for us to wait for CanonLore to be "finished" before
attempting to update the gentry list. Apart form any other considerations, it
makes it very hard for the Royalty to give out the appropriate awards. In the
next Pegasus (April as I write this) I will be asking people to contact their
group heralds if they have awards that are not listed in the database. I don't
think that this will be a huge amount of work for each of you (many hands and
all that!), but if anyone has any problem then let me know.
What we need to know: what awards people have, when they got them, the SCA name
they were using at the time and their real name. Real names are used
in the database only for cross-referencing; they will never be publicly
accessible. If people do give your information, could you please collate it in
and we will collect it all in a month or so.

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 March meeting was held on Monday 6th March 2006.
Present at the meeting were Wakeline de Foxley, Crux Australis Herald;
Massaria da Cortona, Baryl Herald; Hrolf Herjolfssen Herald Extraordinary,
Snorri Bldhdrekkr ar dhinslundi Pursuivant Extraordinary and interested
onlookers Beatrix Aetholsdotter of Jelling, Anselm, Wendacia, Drustinn and
Aidan Brock.
|
1. Anselm de Calabria New name and device. Per pale Or and vert a cross crosslet counterchanged.
The submitter requests an authentic masculine name but does not
specify for which time period or culture. He will allow minor changes.
|
|
|
2. Alyenora Brodier New name and device submission. Or on a fess gules between three fleur-de-lys gules a falcon close Or.
The submitter requests a feminine name and will allow any changes.
|
|
|
3. Isobel de la Rose New name and device submission. Azure on a bend argent three roses azure barbed and seeded argent.
The submitter requests a feminine name of unspecified time period and
culture but would like the name to mean "Isobel of the Rose". She
will allow any changes. |
|
|
4. Prospero ab Aqua New name and device submission. Per pale vert and purpure an elephant statant argent.
The submitter requests an authentic 14th to 15th century Italian
masculine name with meaning "Propero from the Water". He will allow
any changes. |
|
|
5. Rudiger Adler New name and device submission. Per pale gules and argent a double-headed eagle displayed with a double tressure counter-changed.
The submitter requests an authentic masculine German name of
unspecified period. He will allow any changes and in the event of such
cares most about the language. |
|
|
6. Snorri Blódhdrekkr ór Ódhinslundi Change of device. Per chevron Sable and Or three boars statant counterchanged. The submitter's name was registered in June 1993 via the West. If successful his currently registered device "Per chevron throughout Or and sable, two oak leaves and a dragon passant counterchanged" would be released. |
|
|
7. Zanobia Adimari New name and device submission. Argent a cross bottony sable and on a chief azure three mullets argent.
The submitter requests an authentic 14th to 15th century Italian
feminine name. She will allow minor changes and in the event of such
cares most about the language and sound. |
|
|
1. Avery the Seeker New name and device submission. Gyronny sable and vet a dragon's eye Or.
The submitter requests an authentic 13th century English masculine
name and will allow only minor changes. |
|
|
2. Ayla die Pferd Bogenshütze New device submission (see Pends for name). Argent, on a chevron between a bow fesswise strung to base and a quiver with three arrows purpure, four horse shoes inverted argent. The device is being returned as the position of the chevron is far too low, presumably to accommodate the bow. To be registerable the chevron must be moved much higher in the device. We note this will squash the bow and suggest that the submitter consider two bows placed palewise in fess instead. We also note this is not the bow one would use from horse back and so she might prefer to consider two horse bows instead. |
|
|
3. Lowry ferch Gwenwynwyn ap Llewelyn New device. Per bend Or and Vert two grabs issuant from the line of division counterchanged. This device was developed at herald's
point at Pennsic -possibly a first for Lochac? It is unclear that
emblazon is reproducable from the blazon due to the offset of the garbs.
However, if they were to be centered they would loose their identifiability.
As it was similar to Germanic lines of division based on plants, it
was pended by Crux in October 2005 to see if this avenue would allow
registration. However, as we could not find anything similar this must
be returned for a redraw for the reasons stated above. |
|
|
1. Ayla die Pferd Bogenschütze New name (see returns for device).
The submitter requests an authentic 15th century German feminine
name meaning "Ayla the horse archer" and will allow only minor changes. |
|
1. Ysabeau Surez de Challon Name changed from holding name.
The submitter previously submitted the name Ysabeau de
Challon, which was returned on the February 2005 LoAR for aural
conflict with "Isabeau Charron". At that time the holding name
Isabeau of Stowe on the Wold was registered by Laurel.
This version of the name, submitted to Crux in August 2005, aimed to
clear the previous conflict through the addition of a name element. |
Acceptances
Álfgeirr Agnarsson. Name and device. Azure, on a chevron Or three pheons sable, in base a horse rampant Or
Axel van Rügen. Name (see Returns for device).
Submitted as Axel von Rügen, the submitter requested an authentic German name. The island of Rügen is in the Baltic, and therefore the northern German van is the appropriate preposition. We have changed the name to Axel van Rügen to partially comply with his request for authenticity. No examples of Axel have been found born by Germans before the 17th C. Therefore, we are unable to make this a fully authentic German name.
Beatriz de Santiago. Blanket Permission to Conflict.
The letter of permission to conflict is for armory that is "one countable step" (one CD) from the registered armory
Benedict Stonhewer of Askerigg. Blanket Permission to Conflict.
The letter of permission to conflict is for armory that is "one countable step" (one CD) from the registered armory
Dragon Demonskyi. Device. Per chevron embattled Or and azure, three dragon's heads couped azure and a flame Or.
Please advise this submitter that the embattlements should be drawn deeper
Emrys Tudur. Blanket Permission to Conflict.
The letter of permission to conflict is for armory that is "one countable step" (one CD) from the registered armory
Inigo Missaglia. Blanket Permission to Conflict.
The letter of permission to conflict is for armory that is "one countable step" (one CD) from the registered armory
Kaðlin mj{o,}ksiglandi. Name and device. Gyronny gules and argent, on a chief Or three lozenges sable.
Submitted as Kaðlin mj{o,}ksiglanda the descriptive byname is a noun and, therefore, does not need to agree in gender with the given name. Orle quoting Gunnvor silfraharr notes: "It is neither a weak nor a strong adjective. It's a gerund, 'much-sailing'. Gerunds, though formed as the present participle of a verb, are used as nouns. As such, this mj{o,}ksiglandi is the correct form regardless of gender of the bearer." We have changed the name to mj{o,}ksiglandi to correct the grammar.
Randall of Willoughby Vale. Device. Azure, a saltire and on a chief argent three oak leaves bendwise vert.
William of Waterford. Blanket Permission to Conflict.
The letter of permission to conflict is for armory that is "one countable step" (one CD) from the registered armory
Returns
Axel van Rgen. Device. Sable, on a six fingred hand argent a butterfly sable.
This device is returned for conflict with Markus Hammerhand, "(Fieldless) a hand argent charged with a hammer sable" with only a singel CD for adding the field. There is no difference for the number of fingers on the hand nor is there a CD for changing the type only of the tertiary charge per RfS X.4.j.ii, since a hand does not qualify as a "suitable charge" as it is too complex to void. This is also returned for obtrusive modernity due to the combination of name and armory. A siginificant number of commenters immediately associated this with Count von Rugen, the six-fingered man in The Princess Bride.
Willehelm von Tannenberg. Blanket Permission to Conflict.
This blanket permission to conflict is refused due to the condition that it apply to armory registered "outside Lochac only". Due to the mobility of those in the Society, armory registered in one kingdom is frequently displayed in another kingdom either for a single event (such as Pennsic or Rowany Festival) or long-term due to relocation of the owner. Given this, we decline to accept any geographically-restricted blanket letters of permission to conflict.
