Atenveldt Submissions (excerpted from the S.C.A. College of Arms' Letters of Acceptance and Return)

The following submissions were registered by the SCA College of Arms, April 2019:


Aoife inghean Oisín. Badge. Per saltire vert and azure, in pale two triquetras and in fess two triskeles, a bordure Or.


Aoife inghean Oisín. Device reblazon. Per bend wavy vert and azure, a triquetra and a triskele Or. Blazoned when registered in July 2012 as Per bend wavy vert and azure, a triquetra and a triskelion Or, the charge in base is more properly a triskelion arrondi, otherwise known as a triskele.


Arthur of Lockehaven. Reblazon of device. Azure, a lantern Or.
Blazoned when registered in January 1973 as Azure a lanthorn Or, this device is reblazoned to clarify the identity of the primary charge. This change was requested by the College of Heralds in the Outlands, who missed a potential conflict due to this spelling.


Ascelin Fleur MacAlister. Name and device. Purpure, an ounce rampant contourny, on a chief wavy Or five sprigs of heather palewise purpure slipped and leaved vert.
Submitted as Aislinn Fleur MacAlister, we have no evidence that Aislinn was a name used in period. The submitter specifically permitted the given name to be changed to Ascelin, an attested Scots name; we have made that change for registration.
This name combines a Scots given name and byname and a French second given name, an acceptable lingual mix under Appendix C.


Crystal of Twin Moons. Holding name and device. Purpure, in pale a roundel and a gout argent, a bordure argent semy of domestic cats sejant purpure.
Submitted under the name Hadda Modirfoeda Snorrisdottir.


Elissa Nova. Name and device. Per fess azure and gules, a fess wavy between three gillyflowers Or slipped and leaved vert and a drum Or.
Elissa is the submitter's legal given name. Nova is an attested gray-period Spanish surname.


Erin of Windale. Holding name and device (see RETURNS for name). Per pale argent and sable, two serpents erect addorsed and entwined tails conjoined gules, a bordure per pale sable and argent crusilly fitchy counterchanged argent and gules.
Submitted under the name Lachlann MacAlister.


Euphemia Kathrine Marie filia Dougall. Name and device. Argent, three roses purpure barbed and seeded proper, a mountain of three peaks vert.
Submitted as Euphemia Kathrine Marie filia Dougal_, we could not find evidence of the spelling Dougal with one l in period. Dougall is found in Scots records, including the Records of the Parliaments of Scotland to 1707 with two ls; we have made that change for registration.
Although the header on the submission form has the second given name spelled Kathrin_, the submitter clarified that the spelling Kathrine, which appeared on the Letter of Intent, is correct.
Marie is found in late period English as both a given name and a surname. Thus, this name uses the rare, but attested, pattern of two given names plus a surname, with an added marked patronymic. Additionally, in later period English and Scots, Latinized patronymics sometimes used the nominative form of the father's given name, rather than the genitive form. Therefore, the patronymic filia Dougall can be registered.


Loren MacChlurain. Reblazon of device. Per pale azure and argent, a lion's head erased argent and a lantern gules, all within a bordure engrailed counterchanged.
Blazoned when registered in June 1973 as Per pale azure and argent, a lion's head erased argent and a lanthorn gules, all within a bordure engrailed counterchanged, we are clarifying the identity of the primary charge.


Mary Margaret of Derby. Reblazon of badge. Sable, a lantern and in base three barrulets wavy Or. Blazoned when registered in July 1974 as Sable, a lanthorne and in base three barrulets wavy Or, we are clarifying the identity of the primary charge.


William Somme de Ville. Reblazon of device. Per pale wavy argent and azure, a tower sable charged with a cross bottony and in pale three swans naiant argent.
Blazoned when registered in June 1987 as Per pale wavy argent and azure, a watchtower sable charged with a cross bottony and in pale three swans naiant argent, this is simply a tower.


The following submissions were returned for further work, April 2019:


Hadda Modirfoeda Snorrisdottir. Name.
For several reasons, this name must be returned. First, there is no evidence of Hadda as a given name in any Scandinavian language or any language compatible with Scandinavian under Appendix C. The Old Norse male name Haddr cannot be made feminine by changing the terminal letter to an -a.
Second, the constructed byname Modirfoeda was not correctly documented or formed. Commenters were unable to find the necessary three examples of Old Norse bynames constructed using the pattern móðir + verb. The only attested bynames using the element móðir ("mother") use it as the second element after a noun referring to a person. Finally, the patronymic was incorrectly formed. The correct genitive form of the male name Snorri is Snorra, meaning that the patronymic byname should be Snorradottir. The submitter's device is registered under the holding name Crystal of Twin Moons.
Lachlann MacAlister. Name.
Unfortunately, this name directly conflicts with the registered Laughlan MacAlister. The given names sound the same and the bynames are actually identical. Although the submitter indicated that he was amenable to additions to the name to clear this conflict, he did not indicate what sorts of elements could be added. We are unwilling to add an element without the submitter's input and consent, in case he does not like what we choose to add. A return will allow the submitter to select what he wishes to add and resubmit without incurring additional fees. The submitter's device is registered under the holding name Erin of Windale.
