1.) Caroline of Burgundy -- New Device, Name Registered 3/94
Unto Dame Elsbeth Anne Roth, Laurel Queen of Arms and the College of Arms, greetings from Lord Dagonell Collingwood.
Please note: NEW ADDRESS! David P. Salley, 5294 Webster Road, Fredonia N.Y. 14063. If you've sent anything to the old address, it's all right. I still own that house and swing by periodically to check the mail.
It is the intent of the AEthelmearc College of Arms to register the
following names and armory.
1.) Caroline of Burgundy -- New Device, Name Registered 3/94
"Argent, in saltire two epees sable between four roses gules,
barbed vert."
2.) Charles of Alden (M) -- New Name
Charles -- Withycombe, pg. 62 dates this name to 1273
Alden -- Alden is being submitted as a spelling variation of the
place-name Halden. Reaney and Wilson, pg. 5, identify numerous
instances of Alden, one as a surname to 1196. In the same entry, they
also identify Alden as a spelling variation of Haldane. On pg. 212,
under Haldane, they identify Halden
as a spelling variation of Haldane, among others. Immediately following
this entry, there is an entry for Halden. In this second entry, they
identify a John atte Haldon dated to 1317 and state that the name comes
from High Haldon which is located in Kent. Therefore Halden is a place
name, and it seems reasonable that Alden is a plausible spelling
variation of this name, especially given the demonstrated
interchangability of Halden, Alden and Haldane.
3.) Conrad Longespee the Blak Heart -- New Device, Name Registered 5/93
"Sable, two erminois lions dormant, chief embattled erminois."
4.) Iago Benitez -- New Badge, Name Registered 3/94

"Quarterly gules and or, a cross bottony within a bordure, all
counterchanged."
6.) Isabel de Santiago (F) -- New Name
Isabel -- Withycombe, pg.164, states that the name was very common in Spain. Also listed in Sixteenth Century Spanish Women's Names by Elspeth Anne Roth (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/spanish.html)

7.) Jolivette du Louvre (F) -- New Name and Device

du Louvre -- Ibid. Amigert du Louvre.
"Per pale argent and vert, three wolves teeth issuant from
sinister and in chief three frogs sejant all counterchanged."
8.) Kaithren Rowand (F) -- New Name
She wishes the name to be sixteenth century Scottish meaning "Katherine the Red-Haired"
Kaithren -- A List of Feminine Personal Names Found in Scottish Records: Post-1400 Names by Brian Scott (Master Talan Gwynek) (http://www.panix.com/~mittle/names/talan/scottishfem/scottishfemlate.html) dates this name to 1623 (the grey period, hence registerable).
Rowand -- Black (under Rowand) pg. 702 cites various spellings of
the name from 1439 to 1750. This spelling dates to 1509 and 1550. By
this time surnames are inherited so this wouldn't literally be taken to
be "red-haired", but it's still an acceptable surname.
9.) Margaret Acton (F) -- New Name and Device
Margaret -- Withycombe, pg. 206
Acton -- Reaney and Wilson, pg. 2, Richard Acton 1421 and Hugh de Acton 1194.

Elizabeth - Withycombe, pg. 99 (sn) is first found at the end of the 12th century and continues to be used through the end of period. Talan Gwynek's Index to Feminine Names in A Dictionary of English Surnames gives several dates for this spelling of Elizabeth including Elizabeth Ofchurch in 1437.
Clason -- Black, pg. 153, gives Clason as a header form and numerous spelling variations including Katherine Clason 1615 and Johannes Clayson in 1328.
"Azure, a horseshoe inverted, on a chief or, three round buckles
