     ANSTEORRA acceptances

Alaric Cain. Device. Sable, a scorpion between in cross four mullets
of four points and on a chief embattled argent
a roundel between an increscent and a decrescent sable.


Brigitta von Eisenach. Name and device. Or semy of dragonflies
bendwise vert, a frog purpure.


Cecily Grace MacBean. Name and device. Per chevron inverted argent and
vert, a bean plant leaved and fructed and
a fish skeleton fesswise counterchanged.

Commenters noted that the pattern of using double given names in Scots
is not found in Appendix A of SENA. The
use of double given names in Scotland is found occasionally in the
16th and early 17th centuries (FamilySearch Historical Records). As
this pattern is uncommon, we decline to add it to Appendix C at this time.

Blue Tyger was able to document the byname Mcbean, also in the
FamilySearch Historical Records. Therefore, we
can expand the scribal abbreviation and register the byname as MacBean.

Celeste Marie Beraud. Name and device. Azure, a spider inverted argent
charged on the abdomen with a rose azure.

The given name Celeste can be registered as a feminized form of a
9th-11th century French masculine name, Celestus
[Celeste d'Arezzo, September 2008, A-Gleann Abhann].

Beraud is a French byname found in a Latin document dated to 1242
[Calendar of Close Rolls, Henry III: Volume 4:
1237-1242 (1911), pp. 448-456;
http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=92874].
Therefore, it is compatible with the 11th century constructed Celeste.

 Eirik Halfdanarson. Badge. Quarterly embattled gules and azure.

This complex low-contrast line of division is identifiable here and
thus registerable.


Fortuné Stykewynd. Badge. Azure, a trimount vert issuant from a ford
proper, in dexter chief an increscent argent.

This design was documented as an Individually Attested Pattern in late
period Italian armory. Orle provided more
than sufficient evidence of both vert trimounts on azure fields, as
well as trimounts issuant from bases.

Johanna van Leydan. Badge. (Fieldless) On a daffodil blossom bell to
chief Or a capital letter J sable.

 Laura Synger. Device. Gules, in bend three roses between two bendlets Or.

 Liam Gordon. Name change from William Gordon.

This name does not conflict with the registered Ian Gordon. Both
syllables in the given name have changed.

The submitter's previous name, William Gordon, is released.

 Mairghread Maire Draigdaimhalachd. Reblazon of device. Per saltire
azure and vert, a dragonfly argent.

Blazoned when registered as Per saltire azure and vert, a dragonfly
tergiant displayed argent, orbed Or, the
dragonfly is in its default posture.

 René Damours. Device. Per pale embattled azure and argent, a quill
pen and a rapier counterchanged.

 ANSTEORRA returns

Coenred æt Rauenesdale. Badge. (Fieldless) A lion's head erased gules
charged at the neck with an Anglo-Saxon cen
rune argent.

This badge is returned for redraw. As depicted, the rune appears to be
some sort of internal detailing and, as such,
this badge conflicts with the badge of Lorcán Ó Fearghail: Argent, a
lion's head erased gules.

On resubmission, the submitter should draw the rune larger and better
centered on the lion's head. Additionally, the
erasing needs to be depicted with fewer and larger jags.

 Tót Derega. Device. Per bend sinister vairy argent and vert, and
argent, a bend sinister raguly on the lower edge purpure
between a bird volant bendwise sable and a trefoil vert.

This submission is returned for a redraw. No documentation was
provided by the submitter or in
commentary for such a depiction of a trefoil, with a long stem forked
at the end. On
resubmission, the submitter should draw more indentations on the
raguly portion of the bend.
We note that Non Scripta provided documentation from Siebmacher for a
bend raguly on the lower edge.
