ACCEPTANCES

>ANSTEORRA
>
>Adriana Margherita di Betto. Name and device. Per fess vert and pean,
> in chief a lion dormant Or.
>    Please instruct the submitter to make the line of division lower
>    and the pean spots smaller.
>
>Amerinda da Praga. Name and device. Argent chauss{e'} wavy, a crescent
> vert.
>    This is clear of Morgana Bro Morgannwg, Or, seven stalks of wheat
>    sable issuant from a crescent vert.  The stalks are large enough
>    to be counted as co-primaries, therefore there is one CD for
>    changes to the field and one for addition of the wheat.
>
>Ansteorra, Kingdom of. Heraldic title Argent Panth{'e}re Herald.
>    While heraldic titles of the type <tincture> <charge> are no
>    longer acceptable where the tincture is specified with the usual
>    terminology of English blazon, titles where the tincture is
>    specified with an everyday word are. Changing panther to the
>    French panth{'e}re was a minor change, which the submitters
>    allowed; it also made the title follow such known English examples
>    as Rouge Croix Pursuivant and Rouge Dragon Pursuivant. We were
>    thus able to register this.
>
>Ansteorra, Kingdom of. Heraldic title Gullinkambi Herald. 
>    As noted, Gullinkambi is Old Norse for 'Golden Comb'. While names
>    of deities are not as such appropriate for heraldic titles, names
>    of the type <tincture> <charge> are, when both tincture and charge
>    are specified in everyday language. We also allow heraldic titles
>    in languages where such titles were not used.
>
>Ansteorra, Kingdom of. Heraldic title Sable Roundel Herald.
>    While heraldic titles of the type <tincture> <charge> are no
>    longer generally acceptable unless the tincture is specified with
>    an everyday word, Ansteorra has already several heralds' titles of
>    the type Sable <charge>.
>
>Barnabas Thorns. Name and device. Per bend sinister sable and argent,
> a hawk displayed fesswise reversed and a peacock feather bendwise
> sinister vert.
>
>Brian Aaron Cameron. Device. Per bend sinister rayonny vert and
> ermine.
>
>Cassandra vom Rhein. Name and device. Per bend sinister Or and vert, a
> stag's head erased contourny proper and a grapevine fructed argent.
>    As the submitter requested an authentic German name, the given
>    name was changed in Kingdom to Kassandra. However, considering the
>    variation in period spelling, the originally submitted Cassandra
>    is equally acceptable, so we have changed the name back. The name
>    may not be entirely authentic, though, since we did not find
>    evidence that Cassandra with any spelling was used in Germany. The
>    byname most likely means 'of the Canal' and does not refer to the
>    river Rhine.
>
>Frances vom Gr{u:}nwald. Device. Azure, on a plate a heart gules, a
> bordure embattled argent.
>
>Giulietta di Giacomo. Name and device. Per bend sinister purpure and
> argent, a wing argent and a griffin segreant sable.
>
>Lavina del Bakhous. Device. Azure, a chevron gules fimbriated argent,
> overall three stalks of wheat conjoined in pile Or.
>    Listed on the LoI as a badge, this is actually a device.
>
>Philip White. Device. Azure semy of oak leaves inverted Or, a bend
> wavy argent.
>
>Rayya al-Kurtubiyya. Name and device. Azure, three hawks displayed, a
> bordure engrailed argent.
>    This is clear of Karl Habicht von Ammergau Azure, three swallows
>    migrant within a bordure argent.  There is one CD for the change
>    in line of the bordure, and a second for change in type of the
>    primary charge.  The swallows have a very pronounced forked tail,
>    which makes them visually quite distinct from hawks.
>
>Stephen Hawkins of Eforde. Name and device. Per bend argent and
> counter-ermine, a hawk rising sable, a bordure counterchanged.
>    Please inform the submitter to make the bordure wider and the
>    ermine spots smaller.  There should be at least one full ermine
>    spot on the bordure.
>
>Thorvald Egilsson. Device. Sable, in pale two spears in saltire and a
> ram's head contourny bendwise sinister erased Or.
>
>Wynfrith of Mooneschadowe. Device. Or, a chevron azure, overall a
> pithon erect gules.

>THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN RETURNED FOR FURTHER WORK
>
>ANSTEORRA
>
>Aislynn Crystyn. Badge. (Fieldless) A card-pique inverted Or. 
>    Conflict with the badge for the Gilded Leaf of Caerthe (Barony of
>    Caerthe), Sable, an aspen leaf inverted Or.  There is no
>    difference between an aspen leaf and a card pique inverted, as
>    there is no evidence that the charges were considered different in
>    period (in particular, there is no evidence that the aspen leaf
>    was used as a charge in period), and visually the two charges are
>    almost identical.  Therefore, there is only 1 CD for
>    fieldlessness.  This is clear of Constance le Royer de la Tour,
>    Azure, a tower argent issuant from a heart Or, because the tower
>    and the heart are clearly co-primaries.
>
>Etienne de Saint Amaranth. Device. Per bend enhanced purpure and
> argent, a lit candle argent and a love-lies-bleeding flower gules,
> slipped and leaved vert.
>    There is insufficient evidence for the period use of per bend
>    enhanced to register it.  The documentation listed a single
>    example in Foster's Dictionary of Heraldry, and that was a case of
>    per bend sinister enhanced with only one charge in base, not two
>    charges.  Other examples provided were all examples of displaced
>    bends We also need to see documentation for the
>    loves-lies-bleeding as a period plant because it is the first
>    registration of the charge.
>
>Stephen macThomas. Badge. (Fieldless) Three towers conjoined in pall,
> bases to center, azure.
>    The towers were not conjoined in a standard fashion (with the
>    bases slightly touching), but instead were each touching a large
>    central area.  As they also lacked internal detailing, the overall
>    effect looked more like a pall (nowy) couped, the ends
>    embattled. While it is not clear that the charge is inherently
>    unidentifiable, this depiction is definitely unidentifiable,
>    requiring at least a redraw.
>
>Stephen macThomas. Badge. (Fieldless) A compass star pierced within
> and conjoined to an annulet azure.
>    A compass star cannot be pierced on a fieldless badge. The
>    precedent was set in January 2000:
>
>        Current precedent is that we only allow the piercing of
>        charges on fieldless badges when those charges were found
>        pierced in period armory (thus disallowing omni-tinctured
>        tertiary charges). While a compass star is closely related to
>        a mullet, it is nevertheless a different charge, one not found
>        in period armory. Therefore we are not inclined to give it the
>        benefit of the doubt and allow it to be pierced as we would a
>        mullet or spur rowel.
>
>    Without the piercing, the badge conflicts with Kendrick Wayfarer,
>    A compass-rose azure.  There is no difference given between a
>    compass rose and a compass star within an annulet.
