Submission Requirements

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!

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.


Kingdom returns this month

Elspeth Jamieson

New Device: Azure vetu ploye argent, two serpents erect entwined respectant sable.

Submissions Forwarded to Laurel

Lochac LoI dated 2008-04-17

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 item be considered for registration:

1: Isobel Rosewell - Resub Name

Submitter desires a feminine name.
Sound most important.

Both elements are citied from p. 699 of Black, Surnames of Scotland. <Isobel Rosewell> appears in a 1602 register of marriages.

Her previous submission Isobel de la Rose was returned by Laurel on the July 2006 LoAR

"This name conflicts with Elizabeth de Rose, registered July, 2002. According to Withycombe, The Oxford English Dictionary of Christian Names, Elizabeth and Isabel are used interchangeably in the 15th C. This makes them equivalent for purposes of conflict. Because articles and prepositions are also transparent for conflict purposes, the bynames are essentially identical."


Here ends Lochac's April Letter of Intent.

Yours in Service,

Tamsyn Northover
