31 October, AS XXXVIII

Greetings from Myfanwy!

Herein pray find commentary on LoI #72 (whew!). I tried to be as thorough as possible when conflict-checking, but some of it may be a little clunky -- I actually tried to *read* the RfS on simple armory, and some of the stuff seems to contradict itself!

Hopefully, by the time the next LoI comes due, we will have the new Mac hooked up to the DSL line so I will:

1. no longer have to keep bouncing back and forth between floors
2. will no longer have the AOL account (so only the Nauticom email address will be good)
3. 3. can get the old computer and monitor off my desk and out of the sewing room entirely.

I remain your servant and the Society's.

PS -- It appears that IE doesn't like *any* of my formatting and I can't figure out how to add stuff like italics back in. Ignore all the [sic]s, cause that's what they generally mean.

1. Aburgha Chaghadai -- Gules, on a sun argent a decrescent gules and in base an Oriental dragon passant argent.
The docs for the byname are as given [URL: http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/baras-aghur/mngolian.html].
I tried to come up with a better blazon but couldn't get one that wasn't really clunky. The best I came up with is Gules, in pale a sun argent charged with a decrescent gules and an Oriental dragon passant argent.
Artist's note: The oriental dragon is as found in the PIC-DIC (fig. 249).
clear of: Conroy der Rote (6/76 ??) -- Gules, on a sun argent, a falcon's leg couped a-la-quise proper.
There is a CD for adding the dragon, and one for type and tincture of the tertiary charge.

2. Adam Enstone on Tyne -- Argent, a monster consisting of the upper half of a moor and the lower half of a tree stump eradicated proper maintaining in its dexter hand a hammer sable, a ford proper.
The Withycombe docs are as cited (p. 3).
There is a typo in the Reaney and Wilson docs as cited: the correct header (p. 156) is "Enston", with the subsidiary header form "Enstone".
Is this type of monster allowable? (I presume that it's supposed to be an ent, and is as close as you can get.)
clear of conflict

3. Aíbell Shúlglas -- Azure, two barrulets wavy between three herons argent.
Nice armory!
Name registered 9/01 (Æthelmearc).
clear of: Cecily Clervaus (7/02 Atlantia) -- Azure, two bars wavy argent between three sea serpents glissant palewise Or.
There are CDs for changing the type and tincture of the secondaries.

4. Ailis Linne (alternate name Pagan Daysterre)
Primary name registered 1/00 (Æthelmearc).
Withycombe (p. 237, s.n. Pagan) dates the submitted spelling to 1165 and 1273. Reaney and Wilson (pp. 335-36, s.n. Pain) gives Pagan as a subsidiary header form, and cites Radulfus filius Pagani [sic] who "is also called Radulfus Paganus [sic] ...already in 1086, that is, as son of Paganus he had adopted his father's christian [sic] as his surname.... [p. 336] The surname is probably always patronymic."

5. Aine ingean Ruaidri -- Purpure, a swan naiant and on a chief argent three trees vert.
The cites for both the given name and the patronymic are as given. However, it should be noted that "Ruaidr" was not "equated with Richard [sic]" until the 19th century, according to C&M. Although the submitter only permits minor changes, if she wants her name to mean "daughter of Richard", a better suggestion might be for "Risderd" (C&M p. 155, s.n. Ricard). I don't know whether either that or Ruaidri need to be lenited to make the genitive form.
probably clear of: Cailean Aindrea Stewart (5/94 An Tir) -- Per saltire sable and gules, a falcon close and on a chief argent three thistles proper.
There is a CD for changing the field tincture, and probably one for the posture of the bird.
probably clear of: Catherine Owain of Porth Ceri (10/90 Atenveldt) -- Purpure, a crane volant, wings addorsed to base, and on a chief argent, three mullets purpure.
There is a CD for changing the type and tincture of the tertiary charges; there is probably one for changing the posture of the bird, but it may have to be a visual call.
possibly clear of: Elaine de Montgris (5/92 An Tir) -- Purpure, a dove volant wings addorsed, on a chief argent three violets purpure, slipped and leaved vert.
There may be a CD for changing the posture of the bird. There may or may not be enough of a change on the type and tinctures of tertiaries -- they may be more green than purple.

6. Alan the Strong -- Or, a plow vert and on a chief embattled sable 3 [sic] garbs Or.
The docs for both name elements are as cited.
Parker (p.465, s.n. Plough) says "the form of this bearing varies in different ex [sic] samples" but an illustration for the specific charge "antique plough" is not given. There is a depiction of a charge called a "ploughshare" but it is very different from the submission. Woodward is no help, merely mentioning that tools and implements including ploughshares are found as charges. Fox-Davies (p. 298) says: "The arms of Crawshay supply an instance of a Plough [sic] -- a charge which also occurs in the arms of Waterlow and the crest of Provand, but is otherwise of very infrequent occurrence [sic]." Like Parker, however, there is no actual depiction. Additionally, my guess is that these may be non-period, because neither name is found in Foster; and while Crawshay is listed in Papworth (p 1032, s.n. Plough) -- along with two other blazons containing ploughs or parts of ploughs as charges -- there is no actual dated citation source (or, for that matter, for the other two coats listed).
clear of conflict

7. Annanias Fenne (badge) -- [Fieldless] In pale a moth displayed argent conjoined to a mount vert.
This is a fieldless badge. Should the mount be blazoned as being couped (i.e., as opposed to the emblazon, in which it appears to be issuant from base)?
probably clear of: Sean Vuibhearn (badge, 7/92 Caid) -- (Fieldless) A wyvern statant reguardant argent atop a three-peaked mountain couped vert. (jointly held with Elyramere of Tymberlyne Heyghts, for Wyvern Heyghts)
There is a CD for fieldless vs. fieldless, and one for changing the moth displayed to a wyvern statant.

8. Aurenca Mouly (alternate name Scolace de Broune)
Withycombe (p. 264, s.n. Scholastica) gives the forms "Scholace", dated to the 14th century, and "Scholast", dated to 1450. The Reaney and Wilson docs don't really seem to support the submitted spelling except as a byname, but does give the dated citations "Scolacia", dated to 1261-2 and 1327. These spelling variants might be suggested to the submitter.
The docs for the byname are as cited [URL: http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/mari/LincLSR/BynB2.html]. Additionally, Reaney and Wilson (p. 68, s.n. Brown) gives "Broune" as a subsidiary header form. It does not give a dated citation for the specific submitted spelling, but does cite Agnes Broun [sic], dated to 1296. However, in none of the citations is "de" ("of"/'from") used, but rather "le" ("the"), being a descriptive byname rather than a toponymic.

9. Aurenca Mouly (badge) -- [Fieldless] A horseshoe sable.
This is the default orientation for a horseshoe (c.f. PIC-DIC, fig. 396).
clear of: Haniya bat Baruch (6/85 Atenveldt) -- Argent, mulletty azure, a horseshoe sable.
There is a CD for field vs. fieldless and one for adding the semy.
probably clear of: Conrad Breakring (2/96 An Tir) -- Argent, an annulet fracted on the dexter side sable.
This is a possible visual, but there is a CD for field vs. fieldless, and there should be one for the orientation of the opening on the annulet.

10. Beatrice de Winter
The docs for both name elements are as cited [URLs: http://www.panix.com/~gabriel/public-bin/archive/cgi and http://www.s-gabriel.org/docs/bruges/].
Withycombe (pp. 44-5, s.n. Beatrix) gives "Beatrice" as a subsidiary header form, and cites "Dante's Beatrice [sic] Portinari"; dated spellings include "Beatricia" dated to 1273, and "Beautrice", dated to 1487.

11. Bevis of Sunderoak
The Withycombe docs are as cited.

12. Brian of Leichester (badge) -- Per fess sable and argent, in chief a house and in base three roundels counterchanged.
Name registered 8/02 (East).
Artist's note: The house is as depicted in von Volborth (p. 54, fig. 442). The roundels are in fess.
Possible reblazon: Per fess sable and argent, in chief a house argent and in base three pellets in fess.
clear of conflict

13. Bridget Walker -- Per fess enarched azure and argent, in base issuant from base a tree sable and a chief wavy argent.
The Withycombe docs are as cited; however, there are no dated citations for this spelling, the closest being "Brighid" (the 5th-6th century saint), which may be the modern form of the Old Irish "Brigit" or "Brigid"; and the Old French form "Brigette". C&M (pp. 36-7, s.n. Brigit) says:
"The name has been generally angli- [sic] sised Bridget [sic] (which is properly the name of the Swedish St [sic] Brigitta, or Birgitta, who died in 1373, was canonised [sic] Reaney in 1391 and whose feast-day [sic] falls on 1 February."
Reaney and Wilson (p. 473, s.n. Walker) cites "Robert le Walker [sic], dated to 1260.
The other docs are as cited for both name elements [URLs: http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/late16.html and http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/mari/chesham-surnames-4.html].
This brings a new meaning to the term "landscape heraldry", but I think it's technically legal. It is not, however, especially good style.
Possible reblazon: Per fess enarched azure and argent, a tree issuant from base sable, [and] a chief wavy argent.
clear of conflict

14. Carlo Garlucci (badge) -- [Fieldless] A rooster vert.
The name Carlo Gallucci was registered 8/02 (Æthelmearc). Since the registered armory has roosters as charges, I presume that this is the same person, and that there is a typo on the LoI.
possibly clear of: Brian of Leichester (badge, 1/93 East) -- (Fieldless) A dodo close vert, armed Or.
possibly clear of: Raven Jade vom Schwartzwald (badge, 7/00 Atlantia) -- (Fieldless) A raven vert.
In each case, there is a CD for fieldless vs. fieldless; I presume that there would be CDs for the type of bird as well.

15. Ceara inghean Dubhin u Mhille (change of holding name Ceara of Æthelmearc)
"Ceara" is a subsidiary header form in C&M; it is after the colon, making it, IIRC, post-1200.
C&M (p. 78, s.n. Dubn: Dubhn) says:
St [sic] Dubn was a saintly priest of Hook Point, Co [sic] Wexford, whose feast-day [sic] is 11 February. In Munster, it gave the surname Dubhin (O Dwane, Kidney).

16. Dafydd MacNab -- Per fess embattled Or and vert, a tent vert and a dragon segreant Or armed and langued gules.
I can't find my copy of CA #66. Morgan and Morgan (pp. 80-5, s. n. Dafydd, David, Dewi) says:
Dafydd [sic] was borrowed at a later stage, and the later date probably explains why the -a- [sic] is not affected. This form of name was very widely adopted in the medieval period, whereas the use of Dewi [sic] is rare....Dafydd [sic] remained as a standard version, i.e. with no loss of final -dd- [sic], but this did happen colloquially, to produce Dafy' (Davy). There was always an awareness that Dafydd [sic] was the Welsh for David [sic], and scribes generally use Dauid [sic] or David [sic] in the med. [sic] period....
Official documents, on the whole, use the abbreviation Dd [sic] or dd [sic] which textual editors generally fill out; or they have the standard form David [sic], but one can safely assume that these represent Dafydd [sic]: e. g. B6. 256, Lleyn, Ministers' Accounts, 1350, Davith ap hona (leg. houa) [sic]; there are four other instances on the same page, all David [sic]; in the Conway PR 1586, ap David and Davies are seen together, but one must assume that 'ap David" [sic] was in fact 'ap Dafydd" [sic]. One naturally finds examples of Dafydd [sic] in texts which are the result of editing, such as the pedigrees of Bartrum, but in texts which reproduce the original, examples which show 'Dafydd' [sic] clearly are rare.
On page 82, Morgan and Morgan cite "Dai ap Ieuan ap Dafydd Goch", which appears to be dated to 1215-1350, and Gruffudd ap Dafydd, which appears to be dated to 1350-1415 [although these both seem to be cited from Bartrum.
Reaney and Wilson (p. 292) gives "MacNab" as a header form, and gives the citation Matthew M'Nab, dated to 1376 (from Black).
The armed and langued parts are so insignificant as to perhaps not be worth blazoning. Additionally, the dragon seems really tilted -- more like passant bendwise than segreant.
Both the PIC-DIC (fig. 553) and von Volborth (p. 52, fig. 423) show pavilions/tents with conical roofs; however, in the commentary, the PIC-DIC says "sometimes the roof is onion-domed." Therefore this is probably an acceptable emblazon. Incidentally, the caption for the von Volborth illustration says "Tent, ensigned with a pennon"; although this is not mentioned one way or the other in the PIC-DIC, it might be noted.
clear of: Lothair von Drachenstein (9/90 East) -- Vert, a dragon passant coward and on a chief embattled Or three Latin crosses fleury sable.
This might be considered a possible visual conflict. However, there is a CD for changing the posture of the dragon and one for changing the black crosses to a single green tent.

17. Dafydd MacNab (badge) -- [Fieldless] A dragon per bend sinister Or and vert armed and langued gules.
The armed and langued parts are so insignificant as to perhaps not be worth blazoning. Additionally, the dragon seems really tilted -- more like passant bendwise than segreant -- and the posture should probably be blazoned.
Possible reblazon: A dragon segreant per bend sinister Or and vert, armed and langued gules.
clear of: Seth of Wyvern's Tooth (7/90 Calontir) -- Per bend sinister vert and argent, a wyvern passant to sinister counterchanged. There is a CD for field vs. fieldless, and one for the posture of the dragon.

18. Donnan the Solitary (badge) -- Azure, two rapiers in saltire Or, overall a dogwood blossom argent seeded Or.
Name registered 2/86 (East).
possibly clear of: Vitz Tatiana (7/94 West) -- Azure, two scimitars inverted in saltire Or, overall a wolf's head cabossed argent.
There is a CD for changing the overall charge. I'm not sure how much you get for the sword type, but there is probably a CD for the orientation of them (i.e., inverting them).
possibly clear of: Elizabetta Maria Calabria (5/99 Meridies) -- Per pale gules and sable, two rapiers crossed in saltire Or, overall a rose argent barbed and seeded proper.
There is a CD for changing the field tincture; there may be a CD for changing the type of flower from a five-petaled variety to a four-petaled variety.

19. Elizabeth Musard -- Ermine, three tygers purpure.
The docs for both name elements are as cited.
The tygers are awfully small. They could easily be a third again as large, if not half again. Otherwise, this is very nice.
clear of conflict

20. Elizabeth Musard (badge) -- [Fieldless] A fret couped sable.
Nice badge!
probably clear of: Conrad von Graz (10/82 An Tir) -- Argent, a fret couped of six two-pronged forks sable.
There is a CD for field vs. fieldless; there may be a possible visual conflict, but I'm guessing that the forks are identifiable as distinct and separate from each other.

21. Franz Belgrand die Mus -- Argent, a brown mouse rampant proper maintaining a sword sable and on a chief purpure a longbow fesswise argent.
Name registered 10/02 (thelmearc).
According to the PIC-DIC (s.n. BOW) tis is the default [SCA] orientation for a bow fesswise.
clear of: Elva Mac Askil (5/99 Caid) -- Argent, a brown mouse rampant proper and in chief an oak branch fesswise vert.
There are CDs for changing a green branch to a purple chief, and for adding the tertiary charge.

22. Ghalib al-Sami -- Or chauss purpure, a natural tiger's head cabossed sable marked argent and a falcon's head erased sable.
The name docs are as given {URL: http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/arabic-naming2.htm]. I do have a question though; the submitter wants a Persian name, but the documentation is for Arabic. Do we have any specifically Persian name sources? It's a different language, so I don't know whether or not the naming practices are the same.
This is not particularly good style.
Possible reblazon: Or chaussé purpure, in pale a natural tiger's head cabossed sable marked argent and a falcon's head erased sable.
clear of conflict

23. Gideon Lydiard (resub) -- Vert, a cross moline and on a chief argent three torteaux.
Name registered 4/02 (Æthelmearc).
Nice armory!
probably clear of: John Theophilus (12/87 West) -- Azure, a cross formy throughout and on a chief argent, three hearts gules.
probably clear of: Taliesin d'Acre (11/83 Caid) -- Sable, a cross of Jerusalem and on a chief argent three Maltese crosses gules.
In each case, there is a CD for changing the field tincture, and probably one for changing the type of cross.
probably clear of: Adam of Erin (12/91 Atlantia) -- Vert, a celtic [sic] cross and on a chief argent three quatrefoils vert.
There is a CD for changing the type and tincture of the charges on the chief, and probably one for changing the type of cross.
clear of: Muirgel Camshron (6/95 East) -- Vert, a Celtic cross and on a chief dovetailed argent a harp azure.
There is a CD for adding the complex line to the chief, and one for significantly changing the tertiary charge group. There is probably also one for changing the type of cross.
probably clear of: Michael FitzGeoffrey (7/92 West) -- Vert, a Latin cross and on a chief potenty argent, three mullets of eight points pierced gules.
probably clear of: Hussein Stefan Halaby (7/85 East) -- Vert, a cross Jerusalem and on a chief wavy argent, three fleams gules.
In each case, there is a CD for changing to a complex line of division on the chief; there may be a CD for changing the type of cross.
possibly clear of: Francis Burnell of Selkirk (10/98 Caid) -- Vert, in saltire a hammer and a quill pen, and on a chief argent three mullets of six points gules.
There is a CD for changing the primary charge group, but this is not simple armory, so I'm not sure if you get a CD for only changing the type of the tertiaries.

24. Gwenllian o'r Beddgelert
Morgan and Morgan (p. 111, s.n. Gwenllan) appears to date the submitted spelling to 1293 (sometimes the discussions get a little confusing as to what's a date and what's some other type of citation).

25. Jean-Philippe Firmin d'Amiens -- Azure, a base Or.
Name registered 10/91 (Outlands).
Nice armory!
clear of: Seamus O'Fagan (8/89 Caid) -- Azure, a tankard bendwise sinister inverted, distilling gouttes, and a base Or.
There is X.2 for addition of primary charge.

26. Jenneca de Navarra
The docs for the byname are as given [URL: http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/juliana/isabella/locative.html].

27. Jochen Blitzger -- Azure, a helmet argent between and conjoined to 3 lightning bolts in pall throughout Or.
I don't have the cited sources. Talan's article "Late Period German Masculine Given Names" [http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/germmasc/] gives "Joachim" for both 15th century Arnsburg and 16th century Plauen. This is not particularly good style.
This appears to actually be a change of holding name and new change of arms, not a completely new submission, because I found the following:
Jochen of Nithgard (holding name, 2/00 thelmearc) -- Azure, a helm argent between three lightning bolts in pall Or.
Since he obviously would not conflict against himself, apparently he did not get the word that the armory passed even though the name (whatever it originally was) did not. (I *thought* the armory seemed kinda familiar -- I may have drawn the original submission.)

28. John Ignaiszack
The Reaney and Wilson docs are as cited. Additionally, there is a cross-reference to the separate header form "Jan" (p. 252) with the citations William Jan [sic], dated to 1327, and Robert Jans, Jance [sic], dated to 1530-40; the commentary says "Jan [sic] from Johan [sic] v. JOHN." The Walraven article [URL below] gives the forms "Jan", "Iwan", and "Wan" as forms of John, as well as "Han", "Hans", and "Hanz" as forms of Johann, but none of these appear to be dated.
The name docs for Ignaiszack are as cited [URLs: http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/walraven/polish/#masc and http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/latvian.html].

29. Katherine Loch Duibh -- Vert, in pale a trident issuing from a flame argent.
The Withycombe docs are as cited.
probably clear of: Michael Bjrnsson (2/86 Calontir) -- Vert, a Viking longship sable upon flames of fire argent.
It isn't clear from the blazon whether the ship is a co-primary or a tertiary. If the former, this is simple enough armory for X.2; if the latter, there are CDs for removing the co-primary (the trident) and for adding the tertiary charge to the flame.
probably clear of: Jane Ascham (8/89 West) -- Vert, three gouttes of flame conjoined in pall, surmounted by an estoile, all argent.
There is a CD for changing the trident to an estoile, and probably one for the arrangement (number?) of the flame(s).

30. Khadel Kober

31. Khadel Kober (badge) -- [Fieldless] A mascle ploy and overall a bow reversed and a bow sable.
I'm not sure that, at a distance, the bows will be identifiable, since they are the same tincture as the mascle. Everything is sort of thin-line as it is.
The orientation of the bow reversed and the bow are as described in the PIC-DIC (s.n. BOW): "The default posture for the longbow is palewise and strung; the placement of the string (dexter or sinister) has changed over time. Society practice puts the string to sinister by default...."
clear of conflict

32. Konstantinos Akropolites -- Vert, a griffon [sic] sejant argent within an orle of fleurs-de-lys Or.
The name docs are as cited [URLs: http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names.byzantine/masc_given_names.html and http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names.byzantine/family_names.html#family_name s].
This is exactly two points away from #53 on this letter (the tinctures of the fleurs-de-lys and the griffin are swapped).
Nice armory!
possible visual conflict: Mathilde des Pyrenees (5/91 East) -- Vert, a Great Pyrenees dog sejant guardant, dexter forepaw raised, argent within an orle of fleurs-de-lys Or.
The dog is effectively the same posture as the griffin, and the same tincture; everything else is the same.

33. Lothar Hugelman -- Sable, three crampons argent.
Name registered 1/03 (thelmearc).
Nice armory!
clear of conflict

34. Mailagnas Maqqas Dunaidonas -- Azure, a boar's head couped close and a chief argent.
The name docs appear to be more or less as cited [URL: http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/tangwystyl/ogham], although you have to sift through the article to some extent to find all the name elements.
The couping on the head should be straight, not curved. Other than that, this is nice armory.
clear of conflict

35. May Wynn -- Azure, on a fess embattled between thee [sic] mullets of eight points argent, a badger statant azure.
Name registered 2/03 (Æthelmearc).
Nice armory!
clear of: Fiona ní Chiardubhin (6/96 Middle) -- Azure, a fess wavy between three compass stars argent.
There is a CD for changing the type of complex line on the fess, and one for adding the tertiary charge.
clear of: Emma de Lastone (12/01 Lochac) -- azure, a fess argent fretty vert between three mullets pierced argent.
There is a CD for adding the complex line to the fess, and one for the type and tincture of the tertiary.
clear of: Corwyn O'Domhnaill (2/88 Atlantia) -- Azure, on a fess embattled-counterembattled between two pairs of swords crossed in saltire and a mullet argent, a barrulet azure.
There is a CD for changing the bottom of the fess to a complex line (normally, embattled fesses have a plain bottom, and only the upper side is embattled) and one for changing the type of at least half the secondary charges.
clear of: Frosted Hills, Shire of (2/94 East) -- Azure, on a fess invected on the upper edge between two mullets of eight points and a sturgeon argent, a laurel wreath vert.
There is a CD for changing the type of complex line on the fess, and one for the type and tincture of the tertiary charge. I don't remember if changing only one of the secondaries is enough for a CD, but the other two CDs are enough to clear it by themselves.

36. Michelina da Trento -- Azure, 3 cups and on a chief argent three fleurs-de-lys azure.
Name registered 9/01 (Æthelmearc).
Artist's note: The more than ordinarily ornate style of fleurs-de-lys can be found in von Volborth (fig. 392).
Nice armory!
clear of: Alejandro del Aguila (12/92 Trimaris) -- Azure, three goblets and on a chief urdy argent, two annulets conjoined sable.
There is a CD for changing the chief to a complex line, and one for significantly changing the tertiary charges.
probably clear of: Fearghus Slnaighear (9/98 An Tir) -- Azure, three mazers argent.
There is a CD for adding the chief, and one for charging it. I'm not sure I would give a CD between a mazer and a cup.
probably clear of: Caterina Amiranda della Quercia (7/02 Atenveldt) -- Azure, three tankards and on a chief argent a dragon passant sable.
There is a CD for significantly changing the tertiary charges. There is probably a CD between a tankard (unlike a mazer) and a cup.

37. Miguel Flores -- Argent crusily flory gules, a heron statant azure maintaining in its beak a fish gules.
Nice armory!
clear of conflict

38. Odriana vander Brugghe (name change from Fiona Harpar)
The names docs are as given [URLs: http://www.geocitites.com/Athens/1336/name1100vr.html and http://www.s-gabriel.org/docs/bruges/byname-list1.html]. It's too bad that we can't find name elements that are more temporally compatible.

39. Odriana vander Brugghe (badge) -- [Fieldless] A furison sable.
Nice badge!
clear of: Harvey the Blind (badge) -- (Fieldless) A furison sable charged with three hawk's bells in fess Or.
There is a CD for fieldless vs. fieldless, and one for adding the tertiaries.

40. Úlfr Thorvardarson -- Vert, a wolf statant ululant and on a chief embattled argent three dolphins azure.
Artist's note: According to the PIC-DIC (s.n. DOLPHIN) the default posture is naiant. While these are, they might more correctly be blazoned as "naiant embowed" (c.f., von Volborth, p. 34, fig. 253).
Possible reblazon: Vert, a wolf statant ululant and on a chief embattled argent three dolphins azure.
probably clear of: Everard Gein (4/98 Middle) -- Vert, a bear statant and on a chief argent three Latin crosses fleury azure.
There is a CD for giving the chief a complex line, and probably one for the type of beast, although there may be visual similarity (both being statant). Because the tertiary charges are both the same tincture, and both sort of have frou-frou, I'm not sure that there would be a CD for them.
clear of: Wulf Gray Wind (9/02 East) -- Vert, a wolf passant and on a chief argent two birds displayed sable.
There is a CD for changing the line on the chief to a complex one, and one for significantly changing the tertiaries.
clear of: Connor MacLean 912/93 East) -- Vert, a wolf statant contourny and on a chief indented argent three caltrops vert.
There is a CD for changing the orientation of the wolf (i.e., from facing dexter to facing sinister) and one for changing the type of complex line on the chief. There is also one for changing the the type and tincture of the tertiaries.
clear of: Faolan MacNeill (8/99 East) -- Vert, a wolf rampant argent and on a chief embattled argent three crosses formy quadrate sable.
There is a CD for changing the posture of the critter, and one for the type and tincture of the tertiary charges.

41. Otelia d'Alsace (badge resub) -- [Fieldless] On a cross patonce Or a heart gules.
clear of: Bizek the Tyne (badge, ??/??) -- (Fieldless) -- A cross crosslet fitchy Or surmounted by a bull's head couped gules, armed and ringed sable.
There is a CD for fieldless vs. fieldless, and one for changing the changing the tertiary to a co-primary. There is probably also a CD for changing the type of cross.
possibly clear of: Eibhlin ní Chaoimh (badge, 4/00 thelmearc) -- (Fieldless) On four demi-fleurs conjoined in cross Or, a torteau.
There is a CD for fieldless vs. fieldless, and possibly one for changing the type of cross.
probably clear of: Ottokar von dem Schwartzwald (8/97 Middle) -- Azure, on a cross formy Or a chalice gules.
There is a CD for field vs. fieldless, and possibly one for changing the type of cross. I'm not sure changing only the type of tertiary charge is a CD.
probably clear of: Geoffrey MacInnes (2/86 East) -- Chequy purpure and argent, a cross formy Or surmounted by a heart gules.
There is a CD for field vs. fieldless; there is probably one for changing the tertiary charge into a co-primary, although they are both red hearts. There may also be one for changing the type of cross.

42. Paul Spyke
The Withycombe cite is more or less as given (except that the 1240 date seems to actually be 1210).
The Reaney and wilson cites for both name elements are as given.

43. Rhydderch ap Erwin -- Per pale azure and vert, a sword inverted argent between a caravel sails furled and a triple towered castle Or.
The Morgan and Morgan cite is as given (note that it is the header form: undated citations from "early and modern texts" include: Treharn ab Retherech and Rederych ap David).
Reaney and Wilson (p. 157, s.n. Erwin) Augustinus filius Erwin [sic], dated 1255.

44. Roana d'Evreux (alternate name Sexi Lovechild)
Primary name registered 9/01 (Æthelmearc).
The docs for both name elements are as given.

45. Seth Mac Michael (badge) -- [Fieldless] A gorilla statant argent.
IIRC, this is the guy who previously submitted armory with a gorilla on it.
Name registered as Seth MacMichael 8/02 (thelmearc).

46. Seth Mac Michael (badge) -- [Fieldless] A gorilla statant contourny argent.
Name registered as Seth MacMichael 8/02 (Æthelmearc).

47. Sophie Davenport (resub) -- Sable, a bend sinister gules fimbriated Or between two scorpions argent.
This is the default posture for scorpions (c.f., PIC-DIC, fig. 413).
probably clear of: Elaine of Wogen Cavern (8/77 ??) -- Sable, a bend sinister gules fimbriated Or, between a mullet and a pegasus rampant to sinister Or.
There are CDs for type and tincture of the secondaries.

48. Taileshithe of the Greenwood -- Per pale sable and vert, a pall between two owls close respectant and crescent argent.
The OC&M docs are as given. I don't have Woulfe, but there is in OC&M (p. 166) the name "Sthmaith: Sodhmhaith, Somha"; the commentary says: "Derived from sth [sic] 'peace'. Sthmaith was abbess of Clonbrren and died in 778." Possibly "Tailesth" could be considered as well. (I'm just reaching here -- I'm not a names person).
The Reaney and Wilson docs are as cited. However, since the C&M docs are all very early citations, one might be tempted to consider the post-1200 spellings (i.e., after the colon in the header forms) to make the name elements more temporally compatible, especially since the submitter will accept changes.
The pall is inverted (a regular pall would be like a "Y" -- c.f. PIC-DIC, fig. 544).
This is not particularly good style.
Reblazon: Per pale sable and vert, a pall inverted between two owls close respectant and crescent argent.

49. Tat'iana Kionova
The Wickenden docs are as given. I don't know if, in fact, a late 15th century given name would go with a 4th century byname; that's for someone else to decide.

50. Tiarnach mac Cathail
The OC&M docs for both name elements are as cited. It should be noted, however, that the submitted spelling for the given name is the second one after the colon in the header. I don't know how modern that makes it.

51. Torella Salviati
The name docs are as given [URLs: http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/florence1282-1532.html and http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/ferrante/catasto/family_names.html].

52. Vlksha Iakovleva -- Gyronny argent and gules, a cross of Toulouse sable.
The name docs for both elements are more or less as given, except that I have absolutely no idea where the page numbers came from (I'm working from the 3rd edition of Wickenden, and I'm getting p. 397, s.n. Vlksha and p. 113, s.n. Iakov, respectively).
That being said, I question the validity of having an obviously masculine name with a matronymic byname. I went through Wickenden, trying to find feminine names that give close to what the submitter wants and found the following:
(p. 389, s.n. Velislava) Welislawa, dated to 1200;
(p. 394, s.n. Vila) dated to 1233;
(p. 396, s.n. Vlada) dated to 1618, with the diminutive form Vladka dated to 1499;
(p. 396, s.n. Vladaia) dated to 1610;
(p. 396, s.n. Vladisava) dated to 1461;
(p. 396, s.n. Vladyka) Wladyka, dated to 1418);
(p. 396, s.n. Vlaikha) dated to 1234;
(p. 397, s.n. Vlastika) dated to 1135;
(p. 397, s.n. Vlcena) dated to1247, with the form Vlschet dated to 1247 as well.
I'm afraid I couldn't find anything closer than these. I did try. Woodward (pp. 83-6) gives a *long* discussion on how gyronny fields should be tinctured -- apparently even the English and Scottish heraldic authorities couldn't agree! Woodward himself, in discussing the arms of the Clan Campbell (blazoned in the text as "Gyronny Or and sable") says:
On the other hand the opinion of the late LYON [sic], who made the sketch for Plate VI. [sic], is sufficiently indicated by it. In that opinion I most unreservedly agree; and I am fortified in my adhesion by the fact that the French and German heralds are unanimous in counting the first giron [sic] to be that which occupies the first and most honourable [sic] position, depending from the dexter half of the uppermost edge of the shield, and bounded by it, by the upper half of the palar line, and the upper half of the bend.
In other words, the "first-most" gyron would be here, at the "X":

                             \x| /
                           ___\|/___
                              /|\
                             / | \

53. Zoe Akropolitina -- Vert, a griffon [sic] sejant Or within an orle of fleurs-de-lys argent.
The name docs are as given [URLs: http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/byzantine/fem_given_names.html, http://www.sca.org.heraldry/laurel/names/byzantine/family_names .html#family_names and http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/byzantine/feminizing .html#feminizing_family_names].
This is exactly two points away from #32 on this letter (the tinctures of the fleurs-de-lys and the griffin are swapped).
Nice armory!
