It would assist Castle Herald greatly in the future if you would e-mail a copy of the documentation summary for name submissions along with the paper copies;  It saves having to re-type everything again.  Also, please be sure that you include dates of registration and return for armory for previously registered names and resubmissions of any kind.  If Castle can't find where an item was returned, it may be pended until the information is provided or payment is made for a new submission.

Here follows the Kingdom of the Outlands Letter of Presentation for April 2011. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome. Errors found herein are my sole responsibility.  Anyone may comment upon the items found herein, and e-mail commentary to the herald's commentary list is encouraged.

1. Editha filia Rolandi - New Name and Device. Vert, on a bend sinister wavy between two linnets close to sinister argent, three twinflowers purpure, slipped and leaved vert.

(Caer Galen) Gender:Female. Submitter cares most about the language/culture of the name (Late 12th/early 13th century lowland Scotts-Narman).

Changes accepted.

[Editha] -  "Feminine Given Names in A Dictionary of English Surnames" by Talan Gwynek http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/reaneyAG.html, header Edith, cites several examples of this spelling to the 12th to 14th centuries.

[filia Rolandi] -  Latinized name - "daughter of Roland (Rolandus)". Withycombe, "Oxford Dictionary of English Christian Names", header Roland, states that the name was introduced into England with the Norman Conquest, is found in the Domesday Book, and was popular throughout the Middle Ages. The Latinized form, "Rolandus", is dated in Withycombe to the Curia Regis Rolls, 1186-1220. "Rolandi” is the genitive form of this name. "Filia" is Latin for "daughter of". This was a common naming form in the desired time period, at least in written records.


Submitting Herald's note - Regarding the device: this submission appears to be the first use of the twinflower as a charge. The plant is found in moist, cool woodland areas throughout the Northern Hemisphere, including England and Scotland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linnaea. I have no idea what it might have been called in period.

2. Katherine Mattingley - New Name and Badge. Per pale gules and sable two chevronels braced Or.

(Hawks Hollow) Alternate Name for Katelin de Irlande, which was registered in May 2008, via Artemisia http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2008/05/08-05lar.html  Gender: Female. No changes accepted.

[Katherine] - Reaney and Wilson, header "Katerin"

[Mattingley] - Reaney and Wilson, header "Mattingley"

Thus ends the April 2011 Letter of Presentation.
