01.) Anwen ferch Morgaunt (F) -- change of name to Anna Malakina, new badgeUnto Dame Elspeth Anne Roth, Laurel Queen of Arms, Lord Pietari Pentinpoika, Pelican King of Arms and the members of the Society College of Arms and all unto whom these words come, greetings from Lord Dagonell Collingwood, Garnet Herald for the Sylvan Kingdom of Ćthelmearc.
Good gentles, it is our intent to register the following arms
01.) Anwen ferch Morgaunt (F) -- change of name to Anna Malakina, new badge
Personal Names of the Aristocracy in the Roman Empire During the Later Byzantine Era by Berret Chavez (SCA: Bardas Xiphias) (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/1aurel/names/byzantine) cites (pce):
Anna -- to 1057 under Feminine Given Names
Malakina -- Malakes to 13th century under Family Names, with "Malakina" as the feminized form under Feminizing Family Names
If her new name is accepted, her old name Anwen ferch Morgaunt will be released.
Badge: "(Fieldless) Three torteaux conjoined one and two."
02.) Brandubh &0acute; Donnghaile -- name registered April 2000, new device
"Per pale argent and sable, chapé ployé counterchanged."
03.) Caitlin Ruadh -- name registered April 1993, change of device
"Purpure, on a bend argent, three decrescents palewise gules."
If this is registered, her old device is to be released.
04.) Catherine O'Herlihy (F) -- name registered February 2000, re-submitted device
"Per fess wavy azure and vert, in pale an otter passant and a quill pen bendwise sinister argent."
The identical device was returned by Laurel in February 2000 for incomplete paperwork.
05.) Christofano Vecchione - name registered January 1992, new badge
"Or, a pear vert."
His previous submission, "[Fieldless] A pear vert." was returned in-Kingdom for conflict with Hector aus Pier, "Per chevron throughout azure and Or, in base a pear vert." This submission now has 1 CD for field, I CD for a non-forced change of position.
06.) Clement of Morrocco -- name registered March 1997, resubmitted device
"Pean, on a bend sinister Or, a hurst of three trees palewise sable."
His previous submission, with the field sable, was returned in-Kingdom for conflict with Paul of Bellatrix "Sable on a bend sinister or, three compass stars palewise gules." Yes, it's that Paul of Bellatrix. His submission before that, with the field purpure, was returned in-Kingdom for conflict against Gwynffd of Ogg "Purpure, on a bend sinister Or, a blackbird perching upon a log sable, holding in its beak an annulet gules." His submission before that, with the field gules, was returned in-Kingdom for conflict against Sebastian of Ventburr "Gules on a bend sinister Or, three wings palewise, each terminating in a hand brandishing a sword sable." His submission before that was completely different and returned at Laurel for conflict. The new field is appropriate, considering all the 'pean' he's gone through with the submission process.
07.) Cordelia Colton (F) -- new name
Cordelia -- Withycombe, pg. 73 identifies a Cordelia Harvey who died in 1636. An article on the Saint Gabriel website discusses the name in more detail, and comes to the conclusion that it is probably late period (pce) (http://www.medievalscot1and.org/problem/names/cordelia.shtml) Laurel has registered the name in the past and has ruled on its acceptability as recently as 1995. In the November 1995 LoAR, Laurel states the following in registering the name Cordelia Wynne: "Cordelia must be given the benefit of the doubt; according to Withycombe, it was in actual use in 1636 and close variants can be found in period, at least in literature."
Colton -- Reaney and Wilson, pg. 106 identifies a Roger Colton in 1371
08.) Daniel O'Ryan the Fletcher (M) -- new name and device
Daniel -- O'Corrain and Maguire, pg. 70, (s.n. Daniél) cites it as a Biblical name "borrowed by a number of early Irish clerics such as Daniél abbot of Roscrea (died 761) and Daniél abbot of Arbrackan (died 736)."
O'Ryan -- O'C&M, pg. 155, (s.n. Rián, Rian) "There is a St. Rián whose feast day is 13 April. From this name derives the modern surname O'Riain (0 Ryan)"
Originally submitted as Daniél O'Rian the Fletcher, a somewhat eclectic mixture of Gaelic and English orthographies and forms. The submitter allowed for changes and cared most about the sound, so the entire name was changed to Daniel O'Ryan the Fletcher, putting everything in standard modern English orthography.
"'Sable, on a bend sinister argent, between two arrows bendwise sinister Or, three estoiles of eight rays purpure.
09.) Emilia O'Madagáin (F) -- new name and device
Emilia -- The submitter originally documented it from The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice by William Shakespeare, one of the characters is "Emilia, wife to lago" (pce). Withycombe, pg. 103, (s.n. Emily, Emilia) cites "Boccaccio' s use of Emilia for the heroine of his Teseide helped to bring the name into use in the later Middle Ages, and Chaucer in his Knight's Tale anglicized it as Emelye."
O'Madagáin -- The submitter originally documented it from Dictionary of Surnames by Hanks and Hodges, pg 340, (s.n. Madden), which cites 0 Madagáin as the Gaelic form. We can do slightly better, "O'Madagain is cited in Woulfe as 'an offshoot of O'Madden of Co. Galway who settled in the 16th century in Clare and Limerick.' MacLysaught, pg. 204, (s.n. (O)Madigan) gives an almost identical citation.
"Quarterly argent and azure, in saltire five crosses fleury counterchanged."
10.) Giovanni Albanese -- name registered January 2000, new device
"Gules, on a chevron inverted enhanced argent, four annulets sable, in base three spear heads inverted argent."
His previous submission, blazoned identically, was returned in-Kingdom for redrawing. The new emblazon is clear of the original problem
11.) Hartstone, Incipient Shire of (G) -- resubmitted name and device
Originally submitted as The Shire of Hearthstone, the name was returned by Laurel as being an unlikely place name.
Hartstone is a proposed place name meaning stone or stony place frequented by deer, such as a salt lick. The elements are documented thusly:
Hart - Ekwall identifies many places with this as a beginning element, including Hartanger (stag slope), Hartburn (stag stream), Hartfield (open land frequented by stags), Hartford (stag ford), Harthill (hill frequented by stags), and Hartwell (stags spring or stream). (Ekwall, pp. 211-212 in the second edition)
-stone - Ekwall also identifies a number of places with -stone, including Hawkstone on p. 216, Whitestone on p. 490, Wigston (meaning Wicgs stone or logan-stone) on p. 494, Blackstone Edge (the edge or ridge with the black stone) on p. 45, and Copplestone (the logan-stone, the rocking stone) on p. 116.
Here are some dated ones for
The Shire is particularly eager to keep the name spelled as submitted. While Ekwall identifies some places with the first element spelled Hert- in period, the OED documents the spelling Hart in period in volume 6, on p. 1134 (copy attached).
'"Argent, on a pall sable between three maple leaves vert, a laurel wreath Or."
A petition signed by the membership accompanied the submission.
12.) Hilderun Hugelmann -- name registered April 2000, new badge
"(Fieldless), A crampon sable."
13.) Ian Campbell of Saint Swithin's Bog (M) -- resubmitted name as Ian Campbell of Glen Mňr
His name was originally submitted as Ian Campbell of Glenlyon, however Laurel registered Ian Campbell of Saint Swithin's Bog as a holding name because Glenlyon is one of the seats of the Campbell clan and the name as submitted was considered presumptous.
Ian -- Withycombe, pg. 178 (s.n. John) states it's Gaelic for John (pce) It has been previously ruled SCA compatible.
Campbell -- Hanks and Hodges, pg. 91, (s.n. Campbell) states that the Campbell clan was founded in the early 13th century (pce)
Glen Mňr -- Urquhart Castle by Chris Tabraham and Fiona Stewart state that the castle was built in Glen Mňr (The Great Glen) (pce)
There does not seem to be any connection (i.e. suggestions of presumption) between Urquhart Castle/Glen Mňr and any of the Campbell branches, other than the fact that both the Campbells and Urquhart clans were supports of Robert the Bruce [source: Grimble (pg. 39-46; pg. 263-4)]
14.) Katerina de la Mane -- name registered May 1994, new device
"Azure, in bend four horseshoes inverted between in bend sinister two four-leaf clovers, slipped, within a bordure all Or."
PIC-DIC, fig. 298b, shows a shamrock as a variant of a trefoil, so I suppose these could be considered a variant of a quatrefoil. The slipping should be blazoned according to the accompanying text: 'The trefoil is the only foil-flower that is shown slipped by default; the others have no slips unless specifically blazoned.'
15.) Uther of Southolt (M) -- new name
Uther -- Names for the Cornish by Truran, pg. 36. "occurs in 16th and 17th cent. parish registers"
Southolt -- Originally submitted as Southold, the submitter stated it was a proposed Anglicized form of "Sudholda" Dictionary of English Place Names, A.D. Mills, pg. 319 Southolt - Sudholda OE Several internal commentators have convinced me that Southolt is more accurate.
16.) Verica filia Virnini (F) -- new name
The First Thousand Years of British Names by Heather Rose Jones (SCA: Tangwystyl verch Morgant Glasvryn)
Verica -- Appendix II "Some British Names in Roman Inscriptions" (pce) (http:/www.s-gabriel.org/names/tangwystyl/british1000/appendixl_2.html)
Virnin -- Appendix III "5th to 10th Century Names from Jackson's Language and history in Early Britain" (pce) (http:/www.s-gabriel.org/names/tangwystyl/british1000/appendix3 .html) Genitive form used.
