>From AICC 0400:

19. Zacaria Ines Balzan (Bryn Gwlad)

New name, new device. Gules, a peacock displayed Or.

Da'ud ibn Auda 

[Device] The peacock is not "displayed" (think, "spread-eagled"); it is in his pride. Unfortunately, this very simple device conflicts with an equally simple badge: Barony of One Thousand Eyes,(Fieldless) A peacock in his pride head to sinister Or. There's a CD for the fieldless/field difference, but the way the head is facing is insufficient for the second necessary CD.


Magnus von Lübeck 

[Name] Feminine Given Names in Chesham, 1538-1600/1 by Mari Elspeth nic Bryan http://www.panix.com/~mittle/names/mari/chesham/chesham-feminine.html lists Zecharia from April 18, 1586. Melcon, Apellidos Castellano-Leoneses, page 105 under Zacharias gives Dominico Zancarias from 1097 and page 265 under Baba gives Zach Baua from 1187. This name should be fine for 12th to 15th century Spain.

[Device] This submission gets left out of the pecking order because of conflict with September 1997 (via Artemisia): "(Fieldless) A peacock in his pride head to sinister Or" for Order of the Peacock's Pride of One Thousand Eyes. There is only a CD for the field. That peacock has pecked several submitters lately. It looks like purpure and argent peacocks in their pride have been used. Shire of Mooneschadowe registered January 1996: "(Fieldless) A peacock in its pride proper." A peacock proper is vert and azure ruling out those two choices as well. Bordures have also been used with many of these. The submitter is advised to get any redesign carefully checked for conflicts.


Northkeep 

[Name] The documentation shows a 400 year span between the name elements. There is no documentation for the given name as being period in Spain.

[Device] Will be surprised if this gets past a conflict check.

Bryn Gwlad 

[Name] Says Salvador: We have no dates on Zacaria. The source given is unreliable. She could actually register the spelling given from England, "Zecharia", since it is at most one weirdness in the name. The second name and surname are fine. Although multiple names are not common in Iberia, they are documentable, therefore registerable.

[Device] Conflict with Constantinople, Emperor of, "Gules, a double-headed eagle Or". There's probably a CD for type for very different-looking birds, but not X.2 substantial difference of type (birds are birds for that rule).

 

19. COLLEGE ACTION:

Name: Forwarded to Laurel as Zecharia Ines Balzan.

Device: Returned for multiple conflicts. See Magnus and Bryn Gwlad.

This would put the submission being decided on in October of last year (or so) and we do not have any LoAR from Laurel since September.
