On behalf of Master Balthazar Tigrerro, White Stag Principal Herald,
I present the following items for your consideration:

1. Aziza al-Kashani. New Badge. (Fieldless) A double rose Or charged with a horse passant sable.

al-Barran, Barony of Her name was registered in November of 1989 via the Outlands.
2. Brigit Kelly. New Name and Device. Or, a fillet cross sable interlaced with a cross parted and fretted all between four aspen leaves points to center vert.

al-Barran, Barony of "Brigit" is found in Withycombe, page 17, under the heading Bridget, where it is listed as the "old Irish" form of the name. "Kelly" is found in Woulfe, Irish Names and Surnames under MacCeallaig. This is the standard modern form. She will accept changes and gave no indication that she wanted the name to be authentic.
3. Chendra Rudd ferch Arianwen. New Badge. (Fieldless) Two lions rampant addorsed tails intertwined gules and Or.

Caer Galen, Shire of Her name was registered in July of 1989 via Calontir.
4. Citadel of the Southern Pass, Barony of the Order name Resubmission (L) for the Order of Poitiers.

This order name is intended to replace the Order of the Archers of Agincourt which was sent to Laurel on the May 2002 Special Letter of Intent. Laurel will rule on it officially in September. This resub will pass kingdom in October. I will be asking the Laurel team for early notice regarding the Agincourt order name so that this name can be sent up in a timely manner if it passes Kingdom. I am assuming, for now, that the Agincourt order name will be returned based on commentary I have received so far and my own doubts regarding the name.
5. Hákon Refr. New Name and Device. Gules, a fox salient Or.

Caerthe, Barony of Both elements are documented from Geirr Bassi. "Hákon" is found on page 11 as a masculine given name. "Refr" is found on page 26 as a nickname meaning "fox". He will not accept major changes, cares most about the language/culture, the desired gender is male, and he is interested in having his name be made authentic for "Norse/Viking" language and/or culture. He will not allow the creation of a holding name.
6. James MacLeister. New Name.

Caerthe, Barony of (notes from Aspen): James is in Withycombe, 3rd Ed. p. 171, header James, dated to 1240 in this form. Withycombe also says, "The acession of James Stuart to the English throne in 1603 marks the beginning of the period in which it became a common English name." MacLeister is a header in Black, Surnames of Scotland, p. 537. It dates McInleister to 1613 as a surname. Client will not accept major changes, cares most about the language/culture, desires the gender to be male, and wishes his name to be authentic for 15-16th C "Scottish" time period, language and/or culture. It was explained to the client that indicating this desire may prevent the desired spelling of the surname, as it is not dated in Black. Client indicates that he will accept McInleister if he cannot get MacLeister.
7. Thorgrim van de Křbenhavn. Device Resubmission (K). Per chevron sable and checky argent and sable, a chevron gules fimbriated Or and in chief a hanging balance argent.

al-Barran, Baron of His name is currently in submission on the July 2002 Outlands internal Letter of Presentation. The device that went into submission on that same letter, "Per chevron sable and checky argent and sable, a chevron gules and in chief a hanging balance argent." will be returned in September for having a red chevron on a field that is 2/3 black, thus violating RfS VIII.2. The client was made aware of this and made changes that should make the device passable.

Anyone who wants to may send me a letter of comment by e-mail regarding this Letter of Presentation.
