Letter of Intent #65
Malcolm FitzWilliam, Fleur Herald



Unto my colleagues Ailis, Garnet; Roana, Cornelian; and Cadell, Jewel, Greetings!

Follows my commentary on February's Letter:

Numbers 1-10 and 13, I have no comments.

# 11. Robert of Worcester -- Device

As drawn, I would Blazon this: Purpure, a bendlet argent between two crosses Or within a bordure argent (of the second?).

a. This is definitely a "bendlet"; especially when compared to the other bends in this Letter. Have we asked submitter which he desires?
b. Also isn't "Cross Couped" redundant in this case? I've always considered a Cross to default to four arms of equal length unless specifically designated as a Latin Cross.

# 12. Thomas Von Hessen -- New Name

I believe Von Hessen would be the German form translatable into English as "of Hesse" or "from Hesse", Hessen being the German for Hesse.
