[ANSTHRLD] Tierces

[Bob Wade]

"On and after June 1, 1991, the College will no longer register charged sides or tierces." (CL 3/8/91 p.1). 

"Based on the consensus of those commenting on this issue, the College will ban the use of charged gores and charged gussets, matching the ban on charged tierces. Uncharged gores, gussets and tierces will continue to be registerable. Any charged gores or gussets currently pending at Laurel will be processed as having been 'in the pipeline' before the ban went into effect. Therefore, after March 1, 1992, we will no longer register charged gores or gussets." (CL 12/21/91 p.2).

Have a submitter who wants a device that can best be described as:

Sable, on a sinister tierce azure, a tower Or.

I'm under the impression that this violates RfS XI.3 - Marshaling

Also from the West Kingdom Heraldic Templates Page:
http://heralds.westkingdom.org/Templates/Ordinaries/index.htm

The tierce does not appear to have been used in period heraldry; it is
permitted in Society heraldry. However, because a charged tierce looks
like impaled armory, and is unbalanced, tierces may no longer be
charged in Society armory.

Does anybody happen to know of a citation for that, or a precedent? I
have google searched the SCA site and haven't come back with a hit
yet, just a precedent from Alison Metron Ariston back in 88 that
stated a charged tierce was poor style.

Would like to be able to back up my opinion with some precedent for
the submitter.
