ANSTHRLD - Semy of Mullets

[Amy & Bill Morris]

I've seen this before...

Since the semy is a field treatment and not a true charge, this is
period but rather rare (France ancient, Brittany, de Ferrers, Albret,
etc.)  Most, but not all, examples are territorial arms, not personal.

Despite this chargeless blazons have in the past been 'boinged' for "not
compatible with period practice."

In the past most of the plain arms submissions were simply bounced for
conflict with mundane heraldry.  this avoided long involved technical
discussions about how to conflict chargless devices.  The other option
was to ask for two differences.    

The most straight-forward interpretation of the rules would be to
consider the mullety as the primary charge.    

Actually I like this.  If you want help with period examples, see me.
