UNTO François La Flamme, Laurel King of Arms, Margaret MacDuibhshithe, Pelican Queen of Arms, Evan da Colleuro, Armory King of Arms, and the College of Arms, upon this 27th day of December, A.S. XXXVII (2004 CE),

DOES Lady Alia Marie de Blois, Rampart Herald, send greetings and fond thoughts.

On behalf of Lady Sorcha MacLeod, White Stag Principal Herald, I offer the following submissions for registration:

  1. Ashi'al Külüjin. Device (New). Gyronny vert and argent, a horse rampant Or within a bordure gyronny argent and vert.
    His name is on the November 2004 Outlands Letter of Intent.
  2. Boleslav Ragnarsson. Primary Name (New) and Device (New). Per chevron checky sable and argent and sable, a chevron Or and in base a fox head couped argent.
    Boleslav is found in Paul Goldschmidt's Dictionary of Period Russian Names in the Bl section (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/paul/bl.html), where it is dated in this spelling to 1569 and in several variants all the way back to 933. Ragnarsson is a patronymic formed from the male given name Ragnarr, which is mentioned on the Viking Answer Lady's website (http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/ONMensNames.htm), which cites Geirr Bassi's The Old Norse Name, page 14, Ragnarr.
    He will not allow major changes, cares most about the language/culture, and requests authenticity for "Slavic of Viking Descent" language/culture.
  3. Caerthe, Barony of. Order Name (New). Order of the Sojourners of Evan Mawr.
    This order has been around for some time, but this is the first attempt at registration. The order is named after Evan Mawr, whose name was registered August of 1982.
  4. Elisant le Chevaler. Primary Name (New).
    Elisant is documented from Academy of St. Gabriel report 2893 (http://www.s-gabriel.org/2893), which says in part "The root of [Elisande] is the Continental Germanic name [Elisind], which is found in Latin records from France as [Elissindis] a. 965 and a. 984. [2] These names gave rise to the Old French or , which is recorded in England as in 1190 and in 1221." le Chevaler is dcumented from Academy of St. Gabriel report 2749 (http://www.s-gabriel.org/2749), which says in part, "The Norman French equivalent appears in the names [Geoffrey le Chevanchur] 1226 and [Robert le Chevaler] 1205 [3]."
    She cares most about the (unspecified) meaning and requests authenticity for "Anglo/Norman" language/culture.
  5. Elyenora Danyel de La Roche. Primary Name (New).
    Elyenora is found in "Feminine Given Names in A Dictionary of English Surnames" by Talan Gwynek (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/reaneyAG.html), where this spelling is dated to 1273 under the header Eleanor. Danyel is found in "An Index to the Given Names in the 1292 Census of Paris" by Lord Colm Dubh (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/paris.html) in the name of Danyel le Breton. de La Roche is found in "Sixteenth Century Norman Names" by Cateline de la Mor (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/cateline/norman16.html), which lists the surname de La Roche.
    She will not allow major changes.
  6. Halla in heppna Kn{o,}rsdóttìr. Device (Withdrawn). (Fieldless) a serpent nowed purpure.
    Originally sent to Laurel on the September 2004 Letter of Intent, the submitter wishes to withdraw this submission in favor of the new device, Purpure, in fess three straight trumpets Or, appearing on this Letter of Intent.
  7. Halla in heppna Kn{o,}rsdóttìr. Device (Resubmission). Purpure, in fess three straight trumpets Or.
    Her name was registered on the March 2004 LoAR. She wishes to withdraw her current device submission (on the September 2004 LoI), Argent, a serpent nowed purpure.
  8. Halla in heppna Kn{o,}rsdóttìr. Badge (Withdrawn). (Fieldless) a serpent nowed purpure.
    Originally sent to Laurel on the September 2004 Letter of Intent, the submitter wishes to withdraw this submission in favor of the new badge, (Fieldless) A pair of barnacles inverted purpure surmounted by a straight trumpet Or, appearing on this Letter of Intent.
  9. Halla in heppna Kn{o,}rsdóttìr. Badge (Resubmission). (Fieldless) A pair of barnacles inverted purpure surmounted by a straight trumpet Or.
    Her name was registered on the March 2004 LoAR. She wishes to withdraw her current badge submission (on the September 2004 LoI), (Fieldless) a serpent nowed purpure.
  10. Ian Lindsay Macrae. Device (Resubmission). Gyronny sable and argent, a wyvern passant gules winged Or maintaining a sheaf of arrows inverted and a bow Or within a bordure gules.
    His name was registered in August of 1998, and his previous device submission, Gyronny sable and argent, a wyvern erect maintaining a sheaf of arrows inverted and a bow within a bordure gules was returned by Laurel in February 2002 for conflict with Bela of Eastmarch, Gyronny sable and argent, a dragon rampant gules, armed and webbed vert, with only one CD for the addition of the bordure. This resubmission changes the tincture of the wings to Or, which should give a second CD.
  11. Kristana Tancz. Device (New). Purpure, on a chevron between three crescents Or, a spider sable.
    Her name was registered by Laurel in January 2004.
  12. Rowland McCain. Primary Name (New).
    Rowland is found in "English Names found in Brass Enscriptions" by Julian Goodwyn (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/brasses/men.html), where Rowland is dated to 1580. The Manx Note Book (http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/), specifically the section on Manx Family Names (http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/manxnb/v05p020.htm), under the header Cain, dates the following spellings: McKane [1408], Mac Cann [1430], Mac Cane [1511], Cain [1586], Cane [1601], Caine [1609], Cayne [1610]. The constructed spelling McCain does not seem completely implausible, given these citations.
    He cares most about the sound.
  13. Stefnir Kolfiğarson. Primary Name (New).
    All parts of this name are found in Geirr Bassi's The Old Norse Name. Stefnir is found on page 15. Kolfiğr is found on page 12, and is formed into a patronymic according to the rules found on page 17.
    He cares most about the language/culture and is interested in authenticity for "Norse/Swedish" language/culture.
  14. Theresa Yolanda Cabeza de Vaca. Device (New). Argent, two chevronels braced and on a chief rayonny sable three eight-cut gemstones affronty argent.
    Her name was registered by Laurel in December 1993. This particular cut of gemstone is documented using Gems and Jewels: Uncut Stones and Objets d'Art by Henri-Jean Schubnel (english translation from French, Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 74-167718). In the text on page 5, it also says "About 1380 a true cutting technique was practised in France: a large flat face (the table) was made by cutting across one of the apexes of the octahedron; then the 'ribs' of this table and those on the back of the stone were cut to give eight supplimentary facets". On page 4-5, the illustrations are captioned "The development of the brilliant cut for diamonds. Left to right: the original 'eight cut' introduced during the fourteenth century ...". The emblazon shows an outline nearly identical to the 'side view' given for the 'eight cut'.
  15. Ulrik Halvarson. Device (New). Per pale Or and azure, a reremouse counterchanged.
    This name was registered by Laurel in December 2003.
