12: Saint Swithin's Bog, Barony of - New Badge Accepted with Reblazon
Sable, a stalk of three cattails sustained in pale by a foi Or, and a ford

Originally blazoned as Sable, two hands couped conjoined in fees supporting a stand of cattails slipped and leaved Or, in base a ford. We have altered the blazon based on Precedent:

[A foi] The charge in chief was blazoned on the LOI as two hands conjoined in fess. This would have had two default hands --- i.e. apaumy --- rather than the clasped hands shown. According to Lord Crescent, the motif of two hands clasped has an heraldic name: a foi, used in French blazons and possibly some English canting arms (Parker 305) (Lothar Freund, July, 1993, pg. 10)

13: Silva Vulcani, Shire of - Resub Branch Name & New Device Accepted
Argent, an anvil sable and on a chief gules three laurel wreaths Or

14: Uilliam Mac an tSaoir - New Name Changed & New Device Accepted

Originally submitted as Uilliam Mac an t-saoir. We have made a small change based on commentary we received.

15: Úrsúla de Rouen - New Name Change & New Device Accepted
Per chevron sable and azure, a chevon inverted Or between two dogwood blossoms argent seeded Or

Originally submitted at Kingdom as Úrsúla of Rouen. We have changed the pronoun to de per the documentation in French. We note that Old Norse-French is one SFPP.

This concludes our Letter of Report Æ133 dated January 27, 2011.
