The following items were sent to Laurel for final determination:

  1. Art the Scot. New Name and New Device. Or, upon a roundel vert four pheons arrayed crosswise, points outward Or.
    Originally submitted as "Airt the Scot," "Airt" is the genitive form of "Art," and the spelling has been changed to correct the grammar.
  2. Alianora de la Forest. New Name and New Device. Azure, a demi-maiden proper crined issuant from a base wavy Or.
  3. Anton von Strassburg. New Name and New Device. Azure, on a fess wavy argent a bridge sable, in chief three mullets of eight points Or.
    Strassburger is the header in Dauzat, so we have added an "s" to the byname originally submitted as "von Strasburg."
  4. Briana du Bois. Change of Holding Name from Briana of Nahrun Kabirun.
  5. Caíreach inghean uí Giolla Phádraig. New Name and New Device. Purpure, two natural panthers rampant addorsed, tails nowed, on a chief argent three falcon's heads erased vert.
  6. Caer Galen, Barony of. New Order Name. Order of the Arch.
  7. Caer Galen, Barony of. New Order Name. Order of the Foal.
  8. Caerthe, Barony of. New Badge Fieldless, on an aspen leaf Or, a frame saw sable. for the Woodworkers Guild
    Originally blazoned as a "fret saw," commentary indicates that this is a "frame saw."
  9. Ceara inghean Rónáin. New Device. Argent, a dragon rampant vert and on a chief purpure two mascles fesswise argent.
    This submission somehow missed being included on the July 2005 Letter of Intent - my apologies to the submitter.
  10. Einarr Skallagrmsson. New Name and New Device. Per bend sinister wavy sable and vert, a triskelion of dragon's heads Or.
  11. Elijah Tynker. New Name and New Device. Per Pale sable and argent, a sickle and roundel counter changed
  12. Jannah al-Ghazaliyyah. New Name and New Device. Per fess indented gules and argent, a gazelle courant Or and a lotus blossom in profile gules.
  13. Kathryn Brian Chevreuil. Change of Device. Per pale sable and ermine, two swans rousant respectant counterchanged.
  14. Kymma Godric. Change of Name from Ceolwyn aet Axanbrycge.
  15. Lyonnete du Soliel. Change of Name from Lyonnete la Rousse.
  16. Magdalene de Saint Benoit-sur-Loire. New Name and New Device. Per bend sinister vert and gules, a dragon displayed rampant, in chief two compass stars elongated to base Or.
  17. Mari the Far Travelled. New Device. Per bend azure and vert, a winged horse's head couped at the shoulder reversed betwen three compass stars Or.
  18. Michael MacQuillan. New Name and New Device. Per pale sable and argent, two natural seahorses, respectant counterchanged.
  19. Ramon the Chronologer. New Badge. Fieldless, an hourglass gules between four compass stars saltirewise in saltire azure.
  20. Ulrik Skytte. New Name and New Device. Per pale chevronny counterchanged Or and gules a bull's head couped and a bear's head couped respectant within a bordure sable.


The following items were returned for further work:

  1. Caer Galen, Barony of. New Order Name. Order of the Bards Militant.
    This order name does not follow any known period construction. The closest construction pattern which would apply would be Order of the <group> (as in Order of the Bards). However, the submitter will not accept major changes and, in any event "Order of the Bards" would be returned for direct conflict with the SCA registration of the same name (March 1982, via Laurel). Further...even assuming that the name construction was acceptable, the actual Order name elements were not documented in any matter. This would, of course, also be grounds for return.
  2. Randal Carrick. New Badge. Argent, a sword purpure and overall a roundel sable charged with a pallet wavy argent.
    This badge is returned for use of a single diminutive ordinary, which is unregisterable in SCA armory. Commentary indicated that this was in violation of the layer limit (not more than three), but overall charges are considered to lie on the field, so this should not run afoul of that rule if it is redrawn with a full pale or with two or more pallets.

Thus ends my Letter of Response.

In service and duty,
Sorcha, White Stag
