[ANSTHRLD] Conflict check please, 3rd round

[Thorn]

There you go.  All that research to find something simple enough for even me
to reproduce - as well as trying to create a much better lineage than the
free I fell out of - caused my frequent moments of heraldic sanity.  Just
goes to show what you will inadvertently absorb when reading modern text
about historic pageantry.

It appears to be (at least) modern practice of the English College of
Arms to Capitalize Charges and Tinctures.  E.g., a recent (and
stupendously stupid) grant at
<http://www.college-of-arms.gov.uk/Frayling.htm> is blazoned

    Arms: Or between three Owls volant affronty bendwise sinister two
    Bendlets sinister Sable thereon square Billets in bend sinister
    Argent.

    Crest: On a helm with a wreath Or and Sable: A Dodo Sable beaked
    and legged Or grasping in the dexter foot a Goblet Argent enflamed
    Or.

    Motto: PERGE SCELUS MIHI DIEM PERFICIAS.

    Badge: A Saquaro Cactus couped Sable ribbed Or.

You might have picked up the habit from English heraldry books, then.
