Sable, a bear rampant contourny and on a chief engrailed argent, three bear's pawprints purpure.

The name is intended to be feminine. The submitter will accept any changes and cares most about sound. The submitter is requesting authenticity for Viking language / culture.

Arnþóra – Geirr Bassi Haraldsson, p. 7, lists <Arnþóra> as a feminine given name (orthographic variant) from the Landnámabók.

Grímarr - Geirr Bassi Haraldsson, p. 10, lists <Grímarr> from the “Family Sagas”

NOTE!! The emblazon originally published here erroneously depicted the cheif as invected. The submitter wants the chief to be engrailed. The image was changed accordingly on 6/11/06.

Per pale argent and sable, two griffins sejant respectant, forepaws raised, counterchanged.

The name is intended to be feminine. The submitter will accept any changes and cares most about Manx language/culture. The submitter is not requesting authenticity.

The submitter’s previous name submission, Myghin Ine Skylycorne, was retuned at kingdom on Letter of Report AE81 dated October 1, 2004. Her previous armory submission, Per pale argent and sable, two griffins sejant respectant, forepaws raised, counterchanged, was returned on the same Letter of Report for lack of an accompanying registerable name.

Calylvorr – Talbot, Rev. Theophilus, “The Manorial Roll of the Isle of Man: 1511-1515” (WWW: F.Coakley , 2000) [URL: http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/fulltext/manroll/index.htm], appendix E [URL: http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/fulltext/manroll/adxe.htm] lists <Calylvorr> as a women’s Christian name.

Ine Skylycorne - – Talbot, Rev. Theophilus, “The Manorial Roll of the Isle of Man: 1511-1515” (WWW: F.Coakley , 2000) [URL: http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/fulltext/manroll/index.htm], appendix E [URL: http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/fulltext/manroll/adxe.htm] lists <Ine Skylycorne> as a surname.

In addition, we find, Tangwystyl verch Morgant Glasvryn, “Manx Names in the Early 16th Century” (WWW: Heather Rose Jones, 1998) [URL: http://www.medievalscotland.org/manxnames/jonesmanx16.shtml] states:

Two of the "Ine" names, however, are rather startling: "Ine Goldesmyth" and "Ine Skylycorne", the first based on an English occupational name and the second on a name of locative origin. The first could be considered in the same class as Gaelic patronyms based on borrowed occupational terms, e.g., "MacPhearson" (from "parson"), however the second is without precedent that I am aware of. If we are not simply dealing with a scribal error or misinterpretation (which cannot be ruled out, given the small sample involved), this may suggest that "Ine" had been generalized as a feminine surname-prefix for names of all types, not simply patronyms (since neither of these elements ever appears prefixed by "Mac") or that the women are being identified as "daughter of <surname>" rather than it being considered appropriate to use the surname proper.

The name is intended to be masculine. The submitter will accept minor changes only and does not indicate a preference for meaning, sound or language/culture. The submitter is not requesting authenticity.

The submitter’s current name, Duncan of Wessex, was registered in May of 1992 via the East. If his new name passes, <Duncan of Wessex> is to be retained as an alternate name.

Von Halstern was registered in the East Kingdom and passed September 2004 with this documentation.

“Halstern appears to be a suburb of Löhn. A web page mentions the Municipality of Mennighüffen as existing in a Church register in 1347, and one of the included towns in this municipality is Halstern (http://www.mennighueffen.de/gesch1024.htm) A translation of the relevant paragraph is:

One suspects that Mennighüffer existed long before it was mentioned in an official record. The construction of the first church of the settlement was done in the 9th century. However, a Mennighüffer priest is only mentioned in church writings in 1300. In 1347 according to church reports, the dedication of the new Monichufler Church occurred. The congregation of the Mennighüffer formed rapidly and thus it happened that Mennighüffer was mentioned in the Synodal register as "Kirchspiel Mennekhusen" which included the land grants for Beck Ober and Niederbeck (Upper and Lower Beck), West and Ostschied (West and East), Grimminghausen and Halstern are included.

Regrettably, the web page referenced is no longer available, and Google search yields no hits indicating that the page has been published at a different URL.

His name was registered in November 2004 via AEthelmearc. His old device is to be released.

The name is intended to be masculine. The submitter will accept any changes and cares most about sound. The submitter is requesting authenticity for Viking language/culture.

Grímarr - Geirr Bassi Haraldsson, p. 10, lists this <Grímarr> from the “Family Sagas”

Bjarnarson - Geirr Bassi Haraldsson, p. 8, lists <Bj{o,}rn> with 42 occurances in the Landnámabók. The same work, p. 18, gives the genitive as <Bjarnar>

Purpure, on a pile embattled argent, a raven Volant bendwise sinister head to base sable.

The submitter’s previous badge submission, Purpure, on a pile argent a raven volant wings displayed bendwise sinister sable, was returned at kingdom on Letter of Report Æ88 dated October 25, 2005, for conflict with Julian of the Purple Must: Purpure, on a pile argent, two sprigs of laurel in fess proper
