[ANSTHRLD] [Fwd: Heraldry announcement for Commentary]

[Bob Wade]

The earliest Period symbol of Knighthood was a spur-rowell.  The elder Bassett brother used it (Three on the chief) at the Siege of Clavederock (sp?) as a cadency difference to his father's Arms.  His younger brother, also a knight, used three escallops.
 
There are, of course, no examples of Pelicans and Laurels doing the same.

...What this call is about: they want general public's opinion not just that
of
the colleges. So it is for every (wo)man so to speak, to ... speak up and
say yea or nay. Discussing it on this list is one thing, it matters not who
you are, sending in your comments to the office asking for this is still
much better. :)

At Lists at Castleton, I went off looking for my baron and baroness.

For one thing, most of the large pavillions around the field were from
SCA branches, so the laurel wreaths not only gave no help at all --
they were visual clutter.

For another, I wasn't looking for some random group, any group would
do -- I wanted a specific group.  I scanned for a halberd and stars,
not for a laurel wreath.  If I need to find Sara, I might scan for
black-and-white with a counterchanged castle and funky stars.  If I
have a message for Oakenwald Pursuivant, I'm looking for a dark and
muddy banner with a yellow staircase and a color-on-color tree.  And
if I'm looking for the armed men of Bryn Gwlad, there's no laurel on
their tabards at all.
