[ANSTHRLD] Conflict question

[Bob Wade]

Lady Juliana,
 
All of Lord Bordure's suggestions will work.  Some other possibilities to consider:
(5) Changing the number of charges -- such as a bend to two bendlets or three triquetras and three decrescents.
(6) Changing the tincture of the field -- such as from azure to gules or to per bend azure and gules.
 
BTW, us local pursuivants have roughly a 50% chance of being correct in conflict checking.  Individual Kingdom Commenters are between 2/3 and 3/4 and individual Laurel Commenters between 3/4 and 9/10.  That's why the submission process takes so long and why everyone is encouraged to comment over an extended period of time.  There's safety in numbers.  If an individual consulting herald "guarentees" something is free of conflict, smile and thank them, and get at least a second opinion.  Even then it's not a sure thing.

Greetings.  

Just to clarify (and to save soem lookign up) The device you were tryign to
register was "Azure, a bend between a triquetra and a decrescent
argent."  The device it conflicted with is registered to Ian MacAngus,
"Azure, a bend
between a mullet of eight points and a tree eradicated argent."

When comparing the 2 you did get one difference for the change in the type of
secondaries (yours were the triquetra and the decrescent and his were the mullet
and the tree).  Even though you changed both charges, you only got one
difference.  

Now on to what can be done to clear them, which is your primary concern.  Note
that these COULD be ways to clear the conflict and I am not guaranteeing that
one of these changes might not introduce a different conflict.  Nor am I saying
that this is necessarily my order of recommendation. :-)  I am sure I will
rapidly get corrected if I am giving you mistaken information.  I also am
equally sure others will add options I am missing.

1.  Change tinctures.  Either changing the bend or the secondaries to gold
should clear it.
2.  Adding a chief, bordure, or something else along those lines.
3.  Adding a charge to the bend.  This will require you to widen teh bend
significantly (which is something that would need to be done anyway).
4.  This one I am unsure of so I am asking for others to comment.  I am unsure
if changing the bend to say a bend wavy grant an additional difference.  Though
I do believe that changing it form a bend to a bend sinister would give you a
difference.

Those are just a  couple thoughts off the top of my head.  Please wait to take
them to heart till the more knowledgeable weigh in on this.

Alasdair
