Unto her cousins in the AEthelmearc College of Heralds and throughout the
Known World does Aurenca Mouly offer greetings.

1. Alicia Hennenberg - New name

Alicia can be documented as English (and Occitan).  I suspect this may be
perceived as a weirdness, but hey, so long as it's only one.   :) 

2. Aurenca Mouly - New badge
(Fieldless) A horseshoe Or.

Nothing controversial about horseshoes, right?  Yes, I know that in modern
times this is the bad luck orientation.   :) 

In October 1982 Harald Bodvarson registered "Gules, a boar's hoofprint Or"
as a badge.  The pictorial dictionary states that there is a single
example of German hoofprints in heraldry, but does not indicate which
animal the hoofprints were "made" by.  (I rather doubt it was a boar.)

However, since the boar has a cloven hoof, depending on depiction I
suspect that there would be at least a CD between the boar's hoof and the
horseshoe.  Some pictures of boar hoofprints can be found at the link
given below.

3. Eumathios Bempetziotes – New name

I understand that the submitter did the research on this himself - nice work!

4. Henry Clarence - New name and device

Very good!

Checked under Heinrich and all names beginning with "Henr" as well as
names with "Clarence" as a byname; nothing found in the ordinary or the
LoARs since November 2002.  There was an English ducal family that was "of
Clarence"; there were no individuals named Henry from this family that I
could locate.

There are apparently a couple of individuals whose names contained "Henry
Clarence", specifically Henry Clarence Kendall (1839-1882), a poet and the
artist Henry Clarence Pitz (1895-1976).  (The musician Henry Clarence
Eddy, 1851-?, later legally changed his name to drop the Henry.)  There is
also the modern R&B musician Clarence "Frogman" Henry, who released a
greatest hits album in 1994.)

I do not feel that the first two individuals are sufficiently familiar to
the general populace to warrant protection, or to cause an average person
to think of them were they introduced.  The third individual is (in my
opinion) equally obscure, and his name change increases the likelihood
that the submitted name is not overly evocative.

The reversal of the name elements in all likelihood eliminates the
possibility that this name is too evocative of Clarence Henry's.  However,
while the name is only vaguely familiar to me, it might be more familiar
to someone of a prior generation (and who isn't habitually insulated from
pop culture  ;) .  As this individual is much more likely to be known to SCA
members of an appropriate generation than the other individuals, I feel it
would be best to raise the possibility.

I realize that none of the names conflict under the Rules for Submission;
I am more concerned with obtrusive modernity.  I don't think "Clarence
Henry" is so bad as to get bounced based on what the current Laurel Clerk
has termed the "willy nilly scruff of the neck test", but I figured I'd
bring it up anyway.

5. James Irvin - New name and device
Azure, a sheave of three swords points to base Or, bound with a riband
argent all within a bordure Or.

As milady Aryanhwy said, a dated byname would be better, but there are
several dated 16th century instances of "James" in the article cited.

Barring evidence that this bynane is not one of the ones (as the letter
states) datable to between 1450 and 1650, this should be registerable. 
(Not maximally authentic, but registerable.)

The blazon should be "a sheaf".  "Sheaves" is plural.  As for "riband", it
appears in http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=riband as a Middle
English variant of (and possibly a precursor to) "ribbon". 
http://www.etymonline.com/r5etym.htm dates "ribbon" to about 1325, though.

Parker gives "banded"
( http://www002.upp.so-net.ne.jp/saitou/parker/jpglossb.htm#Banded ); it
is "used when two or more objects (e.g. a garb or branches of a tree) are
bound together with a band of a different tincture."  This is also used in
Foster to refer to garbs with central bands of a different tincture.

Banded does not seem to include the small bow or knot at the right in this
emblazon.  That might be considered artistic license, though.  I believe
this is "a sheaf of swords inverted".

In the early history of the College, a sheaf-like arrangement in which not
all swords pointed in the same direction seems to have been used.

A similar circumlocutory blazon seems to have been used to denote sheaves.
 The closest registered item I found is the device of Reigar von Rostock,
"Azure, two swords in saltire surmounted by a sword inverted Or, each
blade surmounted at the tip by a wolf's head cabossed argent."  I believe
there should be a CD for inverting half of the primary charge group, as
well as a CD for adding the bordure.  The wolves' heads may or may not be
considered maintained charges.

Other items with similar blazons are registered to Andra of Northeton,
Randal Avery of the Mease, the March of Three Swords, Hagen Silverskull,
and Deaton Claymore; I believe these are clear owing to tincture changes,
posture changes, the addition of other charges, etc.

The other items in the ordinary seem to be clear.

Checking for swords, daggers, rapiers, claymores, kindjals, and cinquedeas
in the letters since November 2002, this is clear.

6. Riversedge, Shire of – New name

http://etymonline.com dates river to c. 1225. The documentation would seem
to suggest that Riveredge (or better yet, Riveregge, great likelihood of
mispronunciation and all) would be a more authentic formation (as the only
possessive form given appears to be of a personal name), but this is
probably close enough for SCAdian work.  This name is clear in the
ordinary and in the LoARs since November 2002.

7. Wynterset, Stronghold of – New device
Argent, a winged stag's head erased and affronty azure surrounded by a
laurel wreath vert and on a chief sable three mullets of eight argent.

The arrangement of the elements makes them difficult to make out.  Giving
the laurel wreath the chow (fertilizer?) it needs will make the winged
stag's head (which is more in the nature of a stag's head with wings
issuant from, or perhaps conjoined to, the neck) smaller, making it less
identifiable and reducing its visual impact.

This device has a complexity count of 8, which is the upper bound of the
generally acceptable maximum.  Either of the alternatives below reduce the
complexity count, and seem to be clear in the ordinary.

Argent, on a winged stag's head erased and affronty azure a mullet of
eight argent, and on a chief sable n laurel wreaths argent.

Argent, on a winged stag's head erased and affronty azure a mullet of
eight argent, in chief n laurel wreaths vert.

If, however, this is what they would like, it should at least be re-drawn.

These arms are similar to those of Orion's Gate, this group's former
incarnation.  Past precedent indicates that registration of a similar
design is permitted.  (Re-registration/reclamation of identical items has
been ruled against by the BoD, but this precedent seems to have been
forgotten.  However, as it is not pertinent in this case, and as it
appears this issue will be tested by submissions from several other
kingdoms, there seems to be no reason to raise it concerning this
submission.)

8. Wynterset, Stronghold of – New badge
Sable, upon a mullet of eight argent a winged stag's head erased and
affronty azure.

I feel that this conflicts with:

Lind Rachael Fessel of the Falconshield (July 1981, via the East)
Vert, on a mullet of six points argent a falcon displayed, wings inverted,
azure.

There is one CD for the field change.  There is no different given between
a mullet of six points and a mullet of eight points.  There is only one
change made to the tertiary (type), so there is no second CD for charges
to the tertiary.  (Unless the position of the wings counts for a second
CD, which I doubt.  Inverted vs. elevated was ruled to be an artistic
distinction concerning eagles' wings in August 2001 (submission of Robert
Michael McPharlan).)  The RfS state that the interior of a mullet of six
points is too small for it to qualify for X.4.j.ii.a; I believe this is
even more true of a mullet of eight points.

9. Wynterset, Stronghold of – New badge
Argent, a stag's head erased and affronty azure and in base two swords in
saltire sable.

Shouldn't the blazon read "winged stag's head" to agree with the emblazon?
 This is clear in the ordinary.  I think that maybe the swords in saltire
should be redrawn; I'm not sure that's an accurate depiction of swords.

That's all folks!
