9.) Rhydderich Hael, Barony of -- (new order name, new badge)

"The Order of the Golden Bee".
The order name is correctly formed. However, my personal opinion has not changed. In _my opinion_ we have too many SCA orders which are "The Order of the Silver This" and "The Order of the Golden That". Yes, I know "The Order of the Golden Fleece" is a historical period honor. I know that "Golden" was overused as adjective in period. I just feel that it shows a lack of imagination in choosing order names. --Dagonell

10.) Rioghnach ni Rose -- (resubmitted name and device)

Rioghnach -- O'Corrain & Maguire, pg. 156, (under "Rignach, Rioghnach, Rionach")
"F., 'queenly'. There are two saints of the name: St. Rignach whose feast-day is 18 December and St. Rignach, sister of St. Finnen of Clonard, whose feast-day is 9 February. There was another Rignach who, according to tradition, was the mother of the early warriors Conall and Eogan and thus ancestress of the O'Neills, MacLoughlins, O'Donnells, O'Gallaghers, O'Gormleys and other Norman families. The name has apparently been anglicised 'Regina'."

Rose -- MacLysaght, pg. 260 (under "Rose")
"The name appears occasionally in Irish records as early as the fourteenth century. It has several derivations mainly from the shrub or flower."

Ros -- O'Corrain & Maguire, pg 156, (under "Rois, Roise, Ros")
"F., This name appears to derive from the Old German 'hros' 'horse' though at an early period it was identified with the flower of that name. It was brought into England by the Normans and reached Ireland much later. It was in use among the Ui Chathain (O'Kanes) of Ulster in the sixteenth century and was still common in Derry and Omeath, at the beginning of this century, among the O'Kanes and the O'Murrays."
