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, September 2019:

Celeste of Atenveldt. Holding name and device (see PENDS for name). Azure, a Coptic cross Or and in dexter chief a sprig of coffee bendwise fructed argent.
This is the defining instance of a coffee plant, introduced to Europe via the Paduan botanist Prospero Alpini and documented in his work, De Plantis Aegypti Liber, 1592. Thanks to Mistress Raziya bint Rusa for this documentation.
Submitted under the name Ibsittu Dawid.


Flavia Valeriana. Name change from Rosamund Sanburne.
Nice name for the first three centuries of the Roman Empire! The submitter's previous name,Rosamund Sanburne, is retained as an alternate name.


Flóki rauð-hárr. Badge. (Fieldless) On a fleshpot argent a fireball gules flammant proper.


Gabriella Salvi da Rosa. Device. Per pale argent and purpure, a horse salient, a bordure embattled counterchanged.


Hlaðgerðr Arnfriðardóttir. Device. Per chevron inverted vert and argent, a titmouse contourny Or and an iris azure slipped vert.


Kenadie Mac Uilliam. Name (see RETURNS for device).
Submitted as Kenadie MacUlliam, the byname was not correctly constructed. First, Gaelic puts a space between Mac and the father's name. Second, the spelling Ulliam could not be documented. The attested spelling is Uilliam. We have corrected the name to Kenadie Mac_Uilliam for registration. This name combines an English given name with a Gaelic byname, an acceptable lingual mix under Appendix C.


Kendall MacBhroc. Device change. Purpure, a brock rampant regardant, on a chief embattled Or three thistles proper.
The submitter's previous device, Purpure, a brock passant and on a chief embattled Or three thistles proper, is released.


Loþin Ormsson. Name.
Both Loþin and OrmR are forms of Old Norse names found in Peterson's Nordiskt runnamnslexikon. The submitter may be interested to know that the standard Old Norse form of the same name is Loðinn Ormsson or Lothinn Ormsson. If he prefers one of these forms, he may make a request for reconsideration.


Moire Prytyan. Name and device (see RETURNS for badge). Per fess Or and azure, a sun counterchanged, on a chief azure three delfs Or.
Submitted as Moire Pritani, this name violated PN2C2b, which governs names that combine elements from two regional naming groups. For such names, the elements must be dated within 300 years of each other. In this name, Moire is a late 16th century Anglicized Irish element. Anglicized Irish is part of the English regional naming group. Pritani is reconstruction of a Pictish tribal name (part of the Gaelic regional naming group), from around the 6th century. With at least one thousand years between these elements, the name cannot be registered as submitted. With the submitter's permission, we have changed the surname to Prytyan, a 16th century English surname found in the FamilySearch Historical Records.
Artist's note: Please draw the delfs larger to fill the available space.


Mons Tonitrus, Barony of. Badge. Per chevron inverted throughout vert and argent, a harp argent and two fleurs-de-lys sable.


Mons Tonitrus, Barony of. Badge. Per pale sable and argent, a chaplet of ivy, a bordure counterchanged.


Mons Tonitrus, Barony of. Badge. Quarterly argent and sable, two lightning bolts in saltire counterchanged, a bordure vert.
There is a step from period practice for the use of lightning bolts outside of the context of a thunderbolt.


Mons Tonitrus, Barony of. Badge (see PENDS for other badges). Quarterly vert and argent, two lightning bolts in saltire and a bordure all counterchanged.
There is a step from period practice for the use of lightning bolts outside of the context of a thunderbolt.


Murphy of Ered Sûl. Name and device. Argent, a dragon contourny vert between in chief three mullets one and two gules and on a ford proper a mullet gules.
Submitted as Murphy of Ered Sul, the actual registered name of the branch is Barony of Ered Sûl with an accent on the u. PN1B2f requires the registered form of the branch name, unless a grammatical change is required to take advantage of the lingua Societatis allowance, which is not the case here. Although the submitter allowed no changes, they specifically allowed the necessary change to Murphy of Ered Sûl for registration.
Artist's note: Please draw the dexter and sinister mullets lower on the field, and draw the tertiary mullet larger to fill the available space.


Paisley Porter. Name and device. Argent, a fox's head erased gules, on a chief vert an arrow argent.


Runa rauðfeldr. Badge. (Fieldless) A threaded needle azure winged argent.



The following were returned by the College of Arms for further work, September 2019:

Kenadie Mac Uilliam. Device. Argent, three "Saint Florian crosses" in bend sinister between two scarpes, all between six hearts gules.

This device is returned for lack of documentation of the "Saint Florian crosses." No evidence was provided, and none could be found, that the "Saint Florian" cross is a period charge.


Moire Prytyan. Badge. Or, a heart voided interlaced with a triquetra vert.
This device is returned for lack of identifiability. In the August 2005 return of the badge of Alessandra da Montefeltro, (Fieldless) A triquetra interlaced with a heart voided Or, it was ruled:
“This is being returned for lack of identifiability. It has the same problem as her device, Azure, a triquetra interlaced with a heart voided and on a chief Or an open book between two lozenges gules, which was returned on the May 2005 LoAR with the comment: 'The opinion of the College is that the primary charge on this device is unidentifiable. RfS VIII.3 states, "Elements must be used in a design so as to preserve their individual identifiability. Identifiable elements may be rendered unidentifiable by significant reduction in size, marginal contrast, excessive counterchanging, voiding, or fimbriation, or by being obscured by other elements of the design." In this case, the heart, a charge not usually seen voided, loses its identifiability when voided and interlaced with the triquetra.'
“This design is nearly identical, with the additional issue of the parts of the charges being disjoint, which further hinders identifiability.”

The following submissions are pended:

Ibsittu Dawid. Name.
The submitter has requested an Ethiopian name. Given the small number of Ethiopian resources available, we are pending this name to allow time for additional research and commentary, rather than returning it for lack of documentation of the given name.
The submitter's device is registered under the holding name Celeste of Atenveldt.

Mons Tonitrus, Barony of. Badge. Per chevron inverted throughout vert and argent, a harp argent and two jester's caps sable.

Mons Tonitrus, Barony of. Badge. Per chevron throughout argent and vert, two harps sable and a jester's cap argent.

Mons Tonitrus, Barony of. Badge. Sable, two axes in saltire between flaunches argent, overall a bordure counterchanged.

This was item 17 on the Atenveldt letter of June 25, 2019.


Russell Rusli Marteinnson. Device. Sable, a calamarie inverted Or, a bordure parted bordurewise embattled Or and gules.
