   7. Hildegardis quae et Berthegund: new name and new device
      Name: clear.
      Device: not a pile as depicted; looks like a chevron inverted indented, and therefore device as submitted is not blazoned correctly.

      Name: very complex, but appears clear.

   9. Marian of Blackwood: new name and new device

   11. Sionn the Lost: new name and new device
       Name: prefer that he change form of name to make it more consistent-- "Fox the Lost", "Sean the Lost", "Sionn...(Corresponding Irish phrase)".
       Device: Slot machine!  High complexity (5 tinctures, 4 charges) exceeds rule of numbers.  The question mark in period not a charge, an abstract symbol.
