ANSTHRLD - Ansteorra items from LoAR 08/2000

[Kathleen O'Brien]

The August 2000 LoAR has been sent out to the LoAR e-mail list.  I've
pulled the Ansteorran items from it and pasted them at the bottom of this
message.

FYI, the device for Michael Silverhand (noted under Returns below) was
withdrawn and replaced with a different device in LoI 07/2000 which can be
seen at:

ACCEPTANCES:

ANSTEORRA

Adalulfa von der Helle. Name.
     Submitted as Adalwolfa von der Helle, the question was raised
     whether there was a pattern of feminizing Germanic masculine
     names. A quick browse through Morlet's Les noms de personne sur le
     territoire de l'ancienne Gaule du VIe au XIIe si{'e}cle, vol. I -
     les noms issus du germanique continental et les cr{e'}ations
     gallo-germaniques does reveal enough pairs of the type Adalsada -
     Adalsadus to suggest such a pattern. However, Morlet only provides
     us this kind of evidence for Latinized Germanic names, so we can't
     get to the Germanic form. We have therefore changed the given name
     to a Latinized spelling.

Anastasia de Maris. Badge. (Fieldless) A dragon passant contourny azure.
     Submitted under the name Aaron Ashennan of Clan MacKenzie, the
     name change was returned in May 2000.

Arabella Mackinnon. Name.

Bianca Mantegna. Name.

Bran Feda Dorcha. Name.
     Submitted as Bran Cille n-Dorcha, the submitter originally
     requested an authentic 9th-11th century Irish name but, in
     consultation with the Kingdom College of Heralds, stated he was
     really more interested in the meaning of the name. First of all,
     in this time period, essentially all known names of the format
     <given name> <locative> are for people in religious life; secular
     names normally have a patronymic byname.

     In this time period the locative byname is simply the place name
     in the genitive case, without a connecting preposition. We would,
     therefore, have changed the name to Bran Caille Dorcha. However,
     the submitter did show interest in having an authentic name,
     although this consideration is secondary to his wish in retaining
     the meaning. This has prompted us to make another change as well.

     There is an existing place-name Fid nDorcha, mentioned in Hogan's
     Onomasticon Goedelicum, that has the meaning 'dark wood'. We could
     not find a place name Coill Dorcha, as used in the
     submission. Moreover, we didn't find any clear examples of Caille
     X being used as locative bynames. In the interests of making the
     name as authentic as possible, we have changed the hypothetical
     locative to an actual one with the same meaning.

Catherine de Lance. Device. Per chevron argent and azure, three
  fleurs-de-lys counterchanged, a chief azure.

Cicilia Rosa. Name.
     Listed in the LoI as Cicilia di Rosa, the name was changed into
     that form in Kingdom. However Rosa is a header spelling in De
     Felice's Dizionario dei cognomi italiani, so we were able to
     change the name back to the form originally submitted.

D{a'}ire de Haya. Name.

Daniel McNeil. Name.

Elewys Luscomb. Device. Purpure, on a pile argent a boar rampant
  purpure, a bordure Or.

Etienette de Bitche. Name.

Gavin Stuart. Name.

Genevi{'e}ve del Gamba. Name (see RETURNS for device).
     Submitted as Genevi{'e}ve de la Gamba, we have changed the byname
     to match the documentation provided on the LoI.

Giovanna Lena Caronna. Name and device. Per pale argent and Or, a pale
  bretessed purpure between in chief two wolf's heads erased respectant
  sable.

Gwenhuyvar verch Morgant Dedwydd. Name.

Helen Shiercliffe. Name.

Ihon Vinson MacFergus. Name.

John of Severn. Badge. (Fieldless) A lion passant argent charged on
  the shoulder with a rose vert.

Kenewi ap Owain. Name (see RETURNS for device).
     Submitted as Kenway ap Owain, we have changed the given name to a
     documented spelling.

Mahee of Acre. Device. Purpure, a Latin cross throughout Or, in
  sinister canton a decrescent argent.

Medb Liath. Name.

Melody MacGregor. Name.

Morgan Ellisse. Name.

Rufus Duzeper. Name and device. Per pale invected azure and argent, a
  natural dolphin urinant argent and three escallops one and two azure.
     The invected line should be drawn with fewer and larger
     invections.  The SCA default for per pale lines is that invected
     lines have the points facing to sinister and engrailed lines have
     the points facing to dexter.

Tessa da Rimini. Device. Azure, two keys in saltire wards to base and
  a chief embattled argent.

Thorvald the Bald. Name.

Ulrich der Haveke. Name.


RETURNS:

ANSTEORRA

Genevi{'e}ve del Gamba. Device. Azure, a decrescent within an orle of
  fleurs-de-lys argent.
     Conflict with Diana de Savigny, Azure, a decrescent within seven
     trees in orle argent. There is only a single CD for the change in
     type of the secondary charges.

Ive Rathbourn. Device. Quarterly gules and sable, on a sun Or a wheel
  proper.
     Conflict with the badge for the Compagnie du Dindon d'Or
     (Kriemhild of Stonecroft), Vert, a mullet of nine points
     throughout Or, thereon a turkeycock's head [Gallopavo meleagris]
     erased proper. There is a CD for the field, but nothing for the
     difference between a mullet of nine points and a sun, and nothing
     for changing the type only the tertiary charges. An examination of
     Kriemhild's emblazon shows that the head is primarily brown.

Kenewi ap Owain. Device. Per pale azure and vert, a pale bretessed
  argent.
     Conflict with Nicolette Bonhomme, Per pale gules and sable, a pale
     embattled argent. There is no heraldic difference between
     embattled and bretessed on a pale therefore there is only a single
     CD for the difference of the field.

Maria Elena de los Santos. Device. Azure, on a bend between two angels
  contourny blowing trumpets argent three roses proper.
     The angels are depicted with their faces and part of their upper
     torso turned away from the viewer.  They should be redrawn either
     facing to the side or facing forward.  The standard heraldic
     depiction is facing forward.

Michael Silverhand. Device. Quarterly per fess embattled azure and argent.
     Withdrawn by the submitter.
