Æthelmearc Letter of Report Æ126
May 1, 2010 (AS 45)


Greetings from Fridrikr Garnet and Alheydis Cornelian,
We would very much like to thank those who commented on this month's letter!
The items accepted on this letter have been forwarded to Laurel for further consideration, where we expect they will be decided on in August 2010.

1: Æthelmearc, Kingdom of - New Order Name Returned
Order of the Silver Stirrup

This Order name conflicts with the Order of the Silver Stirrup, which is registered to the Outlands in 1999.

2: Æthelmearc, Kingdom of - New Transfer of Heraldic Title Accepted
Comet Pursuivant

3: Aileisabaiþ Hlasa - New Name Accepted

4: Alessandra Grazzini - New Name & New Device Accepted
Gules, a decrescent argent and in chief three mullets Or

5: Alethea Cowle - New Name Accepted

6: Cristiano Martelli - New Name Accepted 

7: Debatable Lands, Barony-Marche of the - New Acceptance of Transfer of Heraldic Title Accepted
Comet Pursuivant

8: Egill the Dane - Resub Badge Accepted
[Fieldless] An acorn bendwise Or

9: Maeve ni Siurtain - New Badge Returned
[Fieldless] A chamfron azure charged on the forehead with a crescent argent

Conflict with Constancia Tattersall, September of 2002 (via An Tir): Argent goutty, on a chamfron azure a cross patonce argent. While there is a CD for fieldlessness, I cannot see one between the cross & the crescent. The RfS X.4.j. requires either two changes to the charge on a charge. This has one for type only. X.4.j.2 cannot be applied here as the charge is not simple enough to be voided nor does it have "an interior substantial enough to display easily recognizable charges."

10: Ottilige von Rappoltsweiler - New Name Accepted

11: Petr Kotok - New Badge Accepted
Quarterly gules and sable, a sickle within a bordure Or

We believe that this is close to but clear of: Davan inn Spaki, April 1992 (via Atenveldt): Sable, a sickle bendwise Or within a bordure argent. 1 CD for field, another for tincture of the bordure. Also close to but clear of: Rorik Gunnulfsson, October of 1976: Sable, a sickle fesswise, blade to chief, within a bordure, all Or. Again, 1 cd for the field, another for the orientation of the sickle.


12: Raven Whitehart - Resub Device Accepted
Per chevron embowed argent and vert, two ravens purpure and a stag salient argent

This is close to but clear of: Volradus Tammius (12/00 Atlantia) -- Per chevron argent and vert, three birds volant contourny wings addorsed one and two purpure and a plate. There is a CD for changing the number of charges; there may be a CD for cumulative changes to the charge group (changing just the type of bottom-most charge alone is not sufficient, as it is less than half of the charge group, but the change of posture of the birds may push it to the clear side.
Also clear of: Einarr inn spaki (2/07 Calontir) -- Per chevron argent and vert, two ravens addorsed sable and a bear rampant argent.; Gwalchmai Wynber vap Bran (11/88 An Tir) -- Per chevron argent and vert, two ravens rising addorsed, wings displayed, sable, and a fir tree argent.; Kian hrafn af Dyrnesi (8/93 Atenveldt) -- Per chevron throughout argent and vert, two ravens respectant sable and a reindeer's head erased argent, collared sable and chained Or.; Gwyn Chwith ap Llyr (11/96 West) Per chevron argent and vert, three owls contourny counterchanged. In each case, there is a CD for changes to the birds (either tincture or posture) and one for changing type of the bottom-most charge; there may or may not be one for changing the orientation of some of the birds.
Also clear of: Lillias Collingbourne (8/01 Meridies) -- Per chevron argent and purpure, two hummingbirds rising respectant wings addorsed and a lotus in profile counterchanged. There is a CD for changing half the field. There is a CD for changing the posture of the birds and there should be one for changing the type of the bottom-most charge; there may or may not be one for changing the orientation of some of the birds. Finally, clear of: Victoria Pringle (5/08 Atlantia) -- (Fieldless) Three birds close conjoined in annulo purpure. There is a CD for field vs. fieldless and one for arrangement of the charges.

13: Ullrych Sturm - New Device Accepted
Paly bendy azure and argent, three chevronels sable
