Almost all my real mail has at least a text part and an HTML part, and
almost all the spam mail I get is pure HTML, so I filter out HTML.
So Bridget, would you please post in plain text, or at worst
text+HTML, rather than "pure" HTML?

Dieu et mon droit! (That's French for "My God! It's right!")
Born 10 November 1480, died 1517. OK, rare in England.

1560, but using period words from a dictionary doesn't make a byname
authentic, plausible, or even registerable ("of the Purple Ideas Sleep
Furiously"). Literal descriptive bynames were, I believe, out of
use in England well before 1560. Others will have to comment on the
plausibility of the byname itself.

BLESS you for giving a plain English description! It's
Per bend sinister argent and purpure, a compass star counterchanged.

"Untrained eyes" may be a problem. A mullet of eight greater and
lesser points is going to conflict with a sun, a mullet of 10 points,
a mullet of four points (long rays in the same places), and other
mullet-like objects with >= six points. So
Eleanor Leonard|8207Q|b|(Tinctureless) A mullet of four points
distilling a goutte.
would be a conflict, except that she gave permission to conflict if
the mullet and/or field is not a solid plain tincture.

When citing existing armory, please give the name, in case we want to
look it up or the circumstances around its registration. It's
Rashid al-Rashidum ibn Yaakov b'Hup b'l Salaam|8201M|d|Per bend
sinister, sable and argent a mullet of seven points
counterchanged.
(Note that we spell out digits.)
One CD for the field, one CD for the tincture of the charge, so
they're clear. No CD for 7 points versus 8.
