[REGISTERED]
ANSTEORRA
Alistair of Avalon. Device. Azure, a bear's head cabossed within a
mascle of four needles Or.
Almaith ingen Chormaic. Device. Azure, a schnecke issuant from dexter
base argent.
The device is clear of Genevi{'e}ve du Puits, Azure, a wave
reversed argent and in chief a sun sable, fimbriated argent.
There is a CD for the addition of the secondary charge and one for
the location of the schneke vs. the wave. A schneke is not a
peripheral charge: even though it issues from the side of the
field, it still fills the center of the field. Therefore, this is
also clear of the badge for Ariane of Greylyn, Azure, a bordure
fleury argent by X.1, Addition of Primary Charges.
Ansteorra, Kingdom of. Badge for the Kingdom Chiurgeon Emeritus.
(Fieldless) On an owl argent a fleam gules.
Arabella of the Plains. Name and device. Per bend sinister azure and
vert, a bend sinister wavy between a mistral contourny and a horse
passant contourny argent.
Please instruct the submitter to draw the bend sinister wider and
with deeper waves.
Brigit N{i'} Sheachnasaigh. Device. Per bend sable and argent, a pair
of barnacles counterchanged.
C{a'}elainn inghean u{i'} Chomhraidhe. Name.
Submitted as C{a'}elainn ingen u{i'} Comhraidhe, the byname mixed
early and late orthographies. We have changed the particle to a
post-1200 form and lenited the patronymic to make it grammatically
correct.
Clarissima di Niccolucci. Name.
{Cv}inoajin Uriangqadai. Name and device. Per bend sinister sable and
argent, two mullets counterchanged argent and azure.
Submitted as Uriangqadai {Cv}inoajin, no evidence was provided
that the byname should precede the given name in Mongol names. We
have therefore changed the order of the name elements. We have
also added the accent to the given name to match the
transliteration used in the submitted documentation.
Cunovinda ingen Choinnich. Name.
The submitter requested an authentic 13th century Scots
name. While this name is clearly registerable, we do not see how a
Pictish name element, documented from the Roman era, could
reasonably have been used in that time period.
D{o'}nal {O'} Dochartaigh. Name change from Donal mac Se{o'}irse and
device change. Per chevron sable and azure, an English panther
rampant reguardant argent pellety incensed Or, an orle argent.
Submitted on the LoI as Donal O Dochartaigh, the accents were
dropped in Kingdom. We have changed the name back to the
originally submitted form.
His former name is released. His former device, Per chevron sable
and azure, a panther rampant argent pellety incensed between three
mullets of four points argent, is retained as a badge.
Dunstan {ae}t Sancte Petroces Stow. Name and device. Gules, two
chevronels inverted, in chief a cross formy between two lions
combattant argent.
Submitted as Dunstan aet Petrokes Stowe, the name combined a Saxon
particle with a Norman spelling of the place name. Since the
submitter indicated he desired a Saxon name we have changed the
byname to a spelling dated to the Saxon era. We have also
corrected the spelling of the particle.
Please instruct the submitter to draw the chevronels with a
sharper angle.
Finnac{a'}n Dub. Name and device. Argent, in pale a sprig of three
holly leaves vert fructed gules conjoined to a chalice vert, a
bordure sable.
Submitted as Fionnag{a'}n Dubh, he requested an authentic 9th-11th
century Irish name. We have therefore changed the spelling to
match that time period.
Geanne M'Kiernan. Name.
Submitted on the LoI as Jeanne M'Kiernan, the submitter stated she
preferred to have the given name spelled with a G. Considering the
occurrences of Gennat in Krossa's "Early 16th Century Scottish
Town Women's Names" we find this spelling a plausible hypothetical
form.
Gwineth ferch Pyrs. Name.
Ihone MacEogan of Bannockburn. Name (see RETURNS for device).
Submitted as Ihone MacEogan, that name conflicted with Eoin mac
Eoghain, registered in September 1985. We have added a locative
byname as per the instructions of the submitter.
Jason MacPherson. Device. Per bend sinister rayonny sable and Or, a
cross of Jerusalem and a boar's head erased counterchanged.
Joanna of the Plains. Name (see RETURNS for device).
Kathleen Davis McReynald. Name.
Kezia Kiabarta. Name.
Submitted as Kiabarta Kezia, no evidence was given that the byname
preceded the given name in Khazar culture. While the documentation
for the byname itself is scanty, we are willing to accept it
considering the lack of easily accessible references for that
culture.
M{a'}ire ingen Chiar{a'}in. Name.
Marcus the Quiet. Name.
Matheus mac Domnaill. Name.
Submitted as Matheus mac Domnaill, the citation of the patronymic
was mistype. We have therefore corrected the patronymic to the
actual documented form.
Medb Liath. Device. Per saltire vert and azure, a Norse sun cross
within a bordure embattled Or.
Murdoc McDuncan. Name and device. Gules, a sword inverted proper,
overall on a chevron Or three mullets of five greater and five lesser
points sable.
Submitted as Merdock McDuncan, no evidence was given for this
spelling of the given name; the citation in the LoI was
incorrect. We have changed the name to a close documentable
spelling.
P{a'}draig R{u'}ad {O'} Maolag{a'}in. Name and device. Per bend argent
and vert, a shamrock and a Celtic cross counterchanged.
Rebekah of Newcastle. Name.
Reynald of Northkeep. Name.
Romanius Vesperianus. Name and device. Per chevron sable and argent,
two crosses formy fitchy argent and a scorpion gules.
Rowan Quirke. Name.
Submitted on the LoI as R{u'}adnat ni Corcc, the submitter
indicated she preferred Rowan for the given name. She also
indicated that she would prefer the spelling Quirke if the byname
had to be Anglicized. We have made these changes.
Saereid Sigmundsdottir. Name and device. Per pale Or and gules, six
Thor's hammers in annulo handles to center counterchanged.
Sib{e'}al inghean u{i'} Ruairc. Name.
Sigerith d'Aiencort. Name.
Siobh{a'}n inghean u{i'} Dhomnaill. Name and device. Per chevron
argent and vert, three trefoils one and two vert.
The question was raised in commentary whether this name conflicts
with Siobhan MacDonald, registered in 1985. However, in September
1999 Elsbeth Ann Roth made a ruling which is relevant here:
Mac "son of" and O "descendant (grandson) of/of clan" refer to
significantly different relationships and are therefore clear.
It seems natural to apply this ruling to the corresponding
feminine forms inghean and inghean u{i'} as well.
The device is clear of Fiona of Annandale, Per bend embowed azure
and argent, in dexter base three shamrocks vert. The shamrocks on
Fiona's device are in bend, so there is a CD for the changes to
the field and a second for the difference in arrangement of the
shamrocks.
Tamara de Montoya. Name and device. Gules, a snow leopard sejant
guardant argent spotted sable and on a chief argent three lozenges
gules.
Tatiana Kamenska. Name.
Taya Fitzphilip. Name.
Terence Daniel. Name.
Threebridges, College of. Branch name (see PENDS for device).
Nice name.
Trahaearn ap Gruffudd. Name.
Venanza da Verona. Name change from holding name Valerie of Elfsea.
William MacAllen the Lapidary. Name.
...
THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN RETURNED FOR FURTHER WORK
AN TIR
Mu-Man Dkon-Mch{o-}g N{a:}m. Name.
Tibetan names were ruled unacceptable by Talan Gwynek in November
1995:
...
Her device has been registered under the holding name Melody of An
Tir.
[I just wanted to leave in that one.]
ANSTEORRA
Gwenafwy Sinclaire. Badge. Azure, a seahorse and a base rayonny
argent.
Conflict with Eilonwy Andereth, reblazoned elsewhere in this
letter, Azure, a unicornate sea-horse erect reguardant
argent. There is only a single CD for the addition of the
peripheral charge.
Ihone MacEogan of Bannockburn. Device. Azure, a bend sinister fusilly
argent.
Conflict with the badge for the Canton of Elvegast, Gules a bend
sinister of five lozenges conjoined argent, registered in this
letter. There is only a single CD for the change to the field.
As Elvegast's submission was made earlier in the month, its
registration takes precedence.
The device, however, is clear of Caitlin Morgana ferch Llywellyn,
Azure, a bend sinister dancetty between a decrescent and a pegasus
segreant argent. Evidence taken from the Dictionary of British
Arms strongly indicates that bends dancetty were not used
interchangeably with bends fusilly; in fact, they were used by
different people and in different ways. Thus there is a CD for
changing the line of division on the bend and a second for the
removal of the secondary charges.
Joanna of the Plains. Device. Sable, four horseshoes bendwise sinister
one two and one Or.
The device forms showed a different arrangement of charges than
appeared on the mini-emblazon. This difference was enough that the
College needs to see and comment on the emblazon; however, as the
kingdom did not send a corrected emblazon, we must return the
device.
Siobh{a'}n inghean Eoghain u{i'} Neill. Name.
Unfortunately, this name is presumptuous under section VI.3 of the
Rules for Submissions: "Names that unmistakably imply identity
with or close relationship to a protected person or literary
character will generally not be registered." We cannot therefore
register it without permission from Eoghan O'Neill, whose name was
registered in An Tir in 1992. Dropping either of the bynames does
not help either, as the name would then conflict with either
Siobhan O'Neill, registered in 1984, or aurally with Siobhan nic
Eoin, registered in 1994.
...
THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN PENDED UNTIL THE SEPTEMBER 2001 LAUREL MEETING
ANSTEORRA
Threebridges, College of. Device. Argent, in pale three bridges
between flaunches azure each flaunch charged with a laurel wreath
argent.
The letter of intent listed the field as azure.
