I present the following items for your consideration:

1. Anna Katherine von Telgte. Name and device resubmission. Vert, a bear rampant between three mullets argent.
(Fontaine dans Sable) Gender: Female. Submitter cares most about the language/culture of the name, cited as 13th-15th Century German. No major changes accepted.
The previously submitted name, Anna Katherine Spinner, was returned on the April 2006 LoR for lack of documentation and incorrect formation of the German byname. The device, Vert, a bear rampant and in chief two mullets argent, was returned for lack of a name.
Anna:  "Medieval German Names from Silesia" by Talan Gwynek (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/bahlow/bahlowFem.html), documents Anna in this spelling to 1383.
Katherine:  "Medieval German Names from Silesia" by Talan Gwynek (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/bahlow/bahlowFem.html), documents Katherine in this spelling to 1366.
Anna Katherine is also the submitter's legal name; driver's license copy included .
Telgte is a German town in Westphalia near Münster. It received town privileges in 1238, and has been a Pilgrimage destination since the 14th Century. It was a member of the Hanseatic League dating to 1470. Sources: Wikipedia entry on Telgte (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telgte); UCESM - site of the European Catholic Church (http://www.ucesm.net/ucesm_en/marie_%20en_europe_1_en.htm), in discussing the veneration of Mary, states: "Another ancient Marian 'Mecca' in Germany is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sorrows in Telgte near Münster (Westphalia): 14th century." The town is mentioned on the Hanse Portal of Gdansk (Hanseatic League) website, in a chronology of the Hanseatic League (http://www.hanza.gdansk.pl/kronika_a.html).

2. Heinricus Landœse Device resubmission. Sable, in pale two swords in saltire and a stag couchant argent.
(Dúthaich Beinne Áird) 
The name was registered in March 2005.  The previous device submission, Per fess sable and argent, a horse courant argent and three gouttes two and one gules, was returned on the November 2004 Outlands Letter of Response: "This device is returned for conflict with Elaina de Sinistre, Per fess sable and argent, in chief a needle bendwise sinister argent and in dexter base in bend three gouttes-de-sang, with a single CD for arrangement. There is no CD for any changes to only of one of four charges (horse vs. needle)." The current submission is a complete redesign.

3. Tiberius Acilius Brutus. Device resubmission. Gules, a natural leopard couchant guardant, in chief two gladius swords crossed, Or.
(Dragonsspine).
The name was registered in March 2006. On that same LoAR, the previously submitted device, Gules, in fess a natural leopard couchant guardant between two Ionic columns Or, was returned: "This is returned for conflict with Randall of Willowrock, Gules, in fess a mullet inverted between two Doric columns argent, reblazoned elsewhere in this letter. There is a CD for changing the tincture of the primary charges, but no difference for changing the type only of one of three charges in fess."

This item was submitted on the old forms. Your call, Lord Rampart.


Thus ends the November 2006 Letter of Presentation.

Your servant,

Francesca, Castle Herald
