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

The following submissions were registered by the S.C.A. College of Arms, November 2014:

Alexander Smyth and Flore de le Court. Joint badge. (Fieldless) On a gauntleted fist argent within and conjoined to an annulet argent semy of ladybugs proper a musical note azure.


Angelika von Schwaben. Reblazon of device. Azure, a frauenadler and on a chief embattled argent three nesselblätter vert.

Blazoned when registered in July 2008 as Azure, a harpy displayed and on a chief embattled argent three nesselblätter vert, this is a frauenadler. Please see this month's Cover Letter for a discussion of this charge.

Atenveldt, Kingdom of. Order name Order of the Golden Sun of Atenveldt and badge association. Azure, a demi-sun issuant from base Or and a bordure embattled argent.


Baldwin of Acre. Name and device. Argent crusilly formy Latin sable, a bull's head cabossed gules armed and ringed Or, a bordure dovetailed per saltire sable and gules.

This name does not presume identity with any of the rulers of the kingdom of Jerusalem named Baldwin. The kingdom of Jerusalem existed in two iterations; the various Baldwins ruled over the first one, which fell in 1187. The second, founded in 1192, was the one also known as the Kingdom of Acre. Thus, none of the historical Baldwins would have been known as Baldwin of Acre.

Bébinn ingen Domnaill. Badge. Per pale argent and azure, a heart counterchanged vert and argent.


Ciaran Colquhoun. Name and device. Or, an open book and on a chief purpure an increscent and a decrescent Or.

Submitted as Ciaran Colquhoun, the name was changed at kingdom to Ciarán Colquhoun to match the documentation. This change was unnecessary; Gaelic names may be registered either with or without accents. We have therefore restored the name to the submitted form.

This name mixes a Gaelic given name and a Scots byname; this is an allowable lingual mix under the standards of Appendix C of SENA.

Demetrios of Crete. Name and device. Argent, on a roundel gules a bull's head cabossed argent, a bordure gules.

The byname of Crete is the lingua Anglica form of a Greek locative byname.

Douglas Rowan MacCallum. Name and device. Or, on a bend sinister cotised between two roundels vert three dice argent spotted sable.

The most likely way to interpret this name is as a double given name followed by a single byname. This name combines two English given names and a Scots byname; this structure is registerable in a mixed English/Scots context.

Eyv{o,}r Halldórsdóttir and Domnall mac Faíltigeirn. Joint badge. (Fieldless) Two serpents glissant erect respectant sable maintaining between them in their mouths a hexagonal gemstone azure.


Giles Chadwik Richardson. Badge. (Fieldless) On a tower per pale azure and argent three bezants in pale.


Ivar of Elsinore. Device. Per pale gules and argent, a cross couped fitchy counterchanged and a chief sable.


Jennifer de Trethewy. Name change from Jeneuer de Trethewy.

Jennifer was documented as the submitter's legal given name; Eastern Crown also dated it as a given name to 1602 from the FamilySearch Historical Records. The submitter's previous name, Jeneuer de Trethewy, is retained as an alternate name.


Leonore Aid-an. Badge. (Fieldless) In pale a rose Or slipped vert issuant from a cauldron sable.

This depiction of a natural rose is grandfathered to the submitter.


Pelleas of Crete. Name (see RETURNS for device).

The byname of Crete is the lingua Anglica form of a Greek locative byname.


Rodney Jean Dozier. Blanket permission to conflict with device. Per pale dovetailed Or and gules, a wood axe bendwise sinister argent, hafted sable.

Rodney grants permission to conflict for all armory at least one countable step (DC) from his device.

Siobhan Eibhlin ni Mhathghamhna. Blanket permission to conflict with badge. Azure, a bear's head erased within a bordure Or.

Siobhan grants permission to conflict for all armory at least one countable step (DC) from her badge.

Siobhan Eibhlin ni Mhathghamhna. Blanket permission to conflict with device. Per bend sinister Or and azure, a brown bear statant erect proper and an Irish harp Or. [Ursus arctos].

Siobhan grants permission to conflict for all armory at least one countable step (DC) from her device.

Vanora O'Davoren. Name and device. Per pall inverted Or, gules and sable, two bears combattant counterchanged and an artist's paint brush Or.

Submitted as Vanora O'Davorean, the documented form of the byname (and the one registered to her mother) is O'Davoren. We have changed the name to that form in order to register it.

Orle was able to document Vanora as a form of Guinevere: "George Buchanan. Rerum Scoticarum Historia. Arbuthnetus. 1583. p. 27. http://books.google.com/books?id=tohSAAAAcAAJ has: Vanora uxor Arcturi. This is clearly discussing Arthurian legend." There is a pattern of creating new names from Arthurian names. Thus the given name can be registered in English context.

Zoe of Alexandria. Name (see RETURNS for device).

The byname of Alexandria is the lingua Anglica form of a Greek locative byname.


The following submissions were returned for further work, November 2013:

Pelleas of Crete. Device. Sable, on a fess ermine a ram's head cabossed gules.

This device is returned for conflict with the device of William de Cameron, Sable, a fess ermine. There is a DC for the addition of the ram's head, but nothing else.

The fess as depicted here is also drawn far too wide, blurring the distinction between a charged ermine fess and an ermine field with a chief and a base. Blurring the distinction between charge groups and having a design that could be interpreted as combining a chief and a base are also both causes for return.

Zoe of Alexandria. Device. Lozengy sable and argent, a phoenix gules.

This device is returned for conflict with the device of Morgan Morfydd Gwilym, Pean, a phoenix displayed gules, issuant from flames, maintaining in its beak a dexter hand couped proper. There is a DC for the change in field, but nothing for the maintained hand or tincture of the phoenix. As flames proper are considered to be half Or and half gules, Morgan's phoenix is therefore considered entirely gules for purposes of difference.
