Unto the Sovereigns and members of the College of Arms of the Society, does Randal Carrick, Rampart Herald send his greetings. What follows is the December Letter of Intent for the Kingdom of the Outlands. I would like to thank the following heralds for providing commentary for this letter: Furukusu Masahide, Francesca di Pavia, Andrew von Otelingen, Gawain of Miskbridge, THL Jibra'il `Attar, Marie de Blois, Ines Alfon, Lonor Ruiz de Lison, Jethro Stille, and Ęšeluulf munuc.
It is my intent to register this March the following items from the Outlands College of Heralds:
![]() 1: Juliana de Vitri - New Name & New Device Vert, in bend a maple leaf and a candle enflamed in a candleholder, a bordure argent. Submitter desires a feminine name. Gender: Female. Submitter cares most about the sound and language/culture of the name. Submitter will not accept Major changes to the name, but desires authenticity for 13th C. France.
[Juliana] - Academy of St Gabriel report 3009 (http://www.panix.com/~gabriel/public-bin/showfinal.cgi/3009.txt) dates this name to the 12th Century France.
[de Vitri] - "Name from the 1292 Census of Paris" by Sara L. Uckelman (http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/french/1292paris.pdf), p. 103, lists the name as a locative byname: "de Vitri (19) loc. from any of various places named Vitry, Vitré, Vitrai, Vitrai, Vitrey, etc." The name was misspelled on the LoP as Juliana de Vitre, corrected at Rampart to match the paperwork and documentation. Commenters question whether the bordure was too thick (making the field look more like an escutcheon), but being evenly split between "Ok" and "Redraw", I am passing this on to Laurel for final determination. Originally blazoned as "Vert, in bend a maple leaf and a candlestick and candle enflamed within a bordure argent", Rampart changed the blazon to better describe the fact that the candle is in the candlestick |

2: Raes Marie Augustine - New Name Language (14th Century Flemish) most important. Gender: Female. Submitter cares most about the language/culture of the name, defined as 14th C. Flemish. Changes accepted.
[Raes] - "Flemish Names from Bruges" by Luana de Grood (Loveday Toddekyn) located at http://www.s-gabriel.org/docs/bruges states [Raes] is a given name dated to 1400-1550.
[Marie] - "Flemish Names from Bruges" by Luana de Grood (Loveday Toddekyn) located at http://www.s-gabriel.org/docs/bruges states [Marie] is a given name dated to 1400-1550.
[Augustine] - "Flemish Names from Bruges" by Luana de Grood (Loveday Toddekyn) located at http://www.s-gabriel.org/docs/bruges states [van den Augustine] is a by-name name dated to 1400-1550. Internal commenters did not know enough about Flemish naming conventions to judge whether the two given names are acceptable in practice. |
