Submission Requirements

Cost: $17.50AU / $20.00NZ 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!

Copies required:

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.


Returns:

Eilis Ó Cuinn

Name:

This name was pended in December 2007 to allow for consulation with the submitter. As we have not heard from the submitter regarding her wishes, we are now formally returning the name.




Letter of Intent

Lochac LoI dated 2008-02-28

Unto Elisabeth de Rossingnol, Laurel Queen of Arms; Margaret MacDubhshithe, Pelican Queen of Arms; Jeanne Marie Lacroix, Wreath Queen of Arms, and the members of the College of Arms does Tamsyn Northover, Rocket Herald, send greetings!

The Lochac College of Heralds requests that the following items be considered for registration:

1: Genevieve de Montfleur - New Name

Submitter desires a feminine name.
No major changes.
Authenticity NOT requested.
Language (French) most important.
Meaning (Flower mountain) most important.

<Genevieve> can be found in Colm Dubh, An index to the given names in the 1292 census of Paris, http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/paris.html

The wording "s. curia montis florum" appears on a seal dated 1403, an image can be found at http://www.mantin.info/montfleur/histoire/default.aspx

Loyall advises that this translates as 'of the mountain of flowers', and Albion that the nominative form would be <Mons Florum>.

The elements <Mont-> and <Fleur> have numberous examples dated to the fifteen century. <de Fleur>, <Fleuriet>, <Fleuriot>, <Fleury>, <de Montfort>, <de Montigny>, <du Mont Saint Eloy>, and <Montfault> are all found in Aryanhwy's French surnames from Paris, 1421, 1423 & 1438 http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/french/paris1423surnames.html

Given these examples we believe the submitted <Montfleur> to be an acceptable vernacular rendering of the 1403 Latin placename.

The submitter would prefer that the preposition 'du' be used if anyone can document it.


2: Madelina of Duneheve - New Name & New Device

Sable, two unicorns passant and a bordure argent

Submitter desires a feminine name.
Authenticity NOT requested.

Madelina - this spelling dated 1221 in Withycombe s.n. Madeline

Duneheve - is dated 1086 in Gover, Mawer, Stenton, Place names of Wiltshire, (English place name society; survey of Enlgish place names, v. 16) s.n. Donhead St Andrew and St Mary.


Here ends Lochac's February letter of intent.

Particular Thanks are due to Loyall and Albion for their assistance this month.

Yours in Service,

Tamsyn Northover
