Regarding:
"Guy d'Aigles - The following device associated with
this name was registered in May of 1984 (via Atlantia):
Vert, a chevron between a mullet of eight points, an
Arabic oil lamp enflamed and a sword between two
swords in chevron Or."
Lord Seanán mac Tighearnáin asked:

RfS -- http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/rfs.html -- VIII.1.a does not
cover merely primary charges; the "slot-machine" rule of thumb proscribes
*any* single charge group from having more than two types of charges.
I suspect the correct answer to Seanán's question is: "By being
registered nigh unto two decades ago." *Today* it would run afoul of RfS
VIII.1.a.
Your honours in dutie.
