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, September 2014:

Alexander Throckmorton. Name.

The submitter requested authenticity for 16th century England. Commenters documented both elements to Lincolnshire in 1592, so this name meets the submitter's request.

Alfrún Sigþórsdóttir. Name and device. Per fess embattled Or and vert, two musimons combattant sable and a plate.

Aramis Charbonneau. Name.

The Letter of Intent stated that Aramis is the submitter's legal given name, but a copy of the submitter's driver's license or other identification was not provided. In the absence of a copy, two witnesses are needed to confirm the information [July 2012 Cover Letter]. However, the submitter's legal identification was only verified by the local herald.

As the given name was also documented as a period name in the Letter of Intent, we are able to register this name without relying on the legal name allowance.

Candice Libel. Name and device. Azure, a dragonfly argent within an orle of compass stars Or.

The Letter of Intent stated that Candice is the submitter's legal given name, but a copy of the submitter's driver's license or other identification was not provided initially. In the absence of a copy, two witnesses are needed to confirm the information [July 2012 Cover Letter]. However, the submitter's legal identification was only verified by the local herald.

The spelling Candice could not be documented as a period name in a language compatible with the German byname Libel. Luckily, kingdom obtained a copy of the submitter's driver's license after the Pelican decision meeting, so we are able to register this name using the legal name allowance.

There is a step from period practice for the use of compass stars.

Dianne Buble Blowere. Device. Purpure, a spiked mace bendwise sinister and an orle of roundels argent.

Grigor Montgomery. Name and device. Quarterly sable and gules, in bend two alphyns rampant Or.

The submitter requested authenticity for Welsh. This name can be documented to early 17th century Wales, so it meets the submitter's request.

Gwen Eleri. Name and device. Per pale and per chevron vert and Or, two cinquefoils and a linden tree eradicated counterchanged.

Juliane de Grey. Device. Purpure, an altar argent enflamed Or and on a chief argent a roundel between an increscent and a decrescent purpure.

Kýlan Ragnarsson. Name and device. Per chevron throughout gules and vert, two gauntleted fists and a Thor's hammer Or.

Merrick Dowling. Device. Sable, on a bend cotised between two death's heads argent the Roman numeral II azure.

Merrick Dowling. Badge. Sable, on a bend cotised between two death's heads argent, a chain throughout azure.

Nâr Gul `At.t.âr. Name and device. Vert, a cobra erect tail nowed Or and in canton a six-petaled rose argent.

Submitted as Nâr Gul `At.t.âr, the name appeared on the Letter of Intent as Nâr Gul Attar. As diacritical marks/accents must be used consistently throughout a name, we have restored the name to the submitted form.

There is a step from period practice for the use of a cobra.

Seonaid McDaid. Name change from Seonaid inghean Mhuireadhaigh.

The given name is grandfathered to the submitter.

McDaid is the registered byname of the submitter's husband, and is grandfathered to the submitter. Therefore, we are able to register this name as submitted instead of expanding the scribal abbreviation to Mac-.

The submitter's previous name, Seonaid inghean Mhuireadhaigh, is retained as an alternate name.

Seonaid McDaid and Seamus McDaid. Joint badge. Per pale purpure and argent, a tower counterchanged and on a chief per pale argent and azure, a shamrock counterchanged.

Uliana Iosefova. Device. Quarterly argent and azure, two double-bitted axes in saltire between three roses counterchanged.

Wade Greenwall. Badge (see RETURNS for other badge). (Fieldless) On a flame gules a die argent.


The following submissions were returned for further work, September 2014:


`Izza al-Zarqa'. Badge. (Fieldless) A horse's head erased purpure, crined Or.

This device is returned for redraw, because the horse's head is neither erased nor couped. Please instruct the submitter on the proper way to draw erasing: fewer, ampler and pointed jags on the erasing, as described on the Cover Letter to the November 2001 LoAR:

Therefore, for purposes of recreating period armorial style for erasing, the erasing should (1) have between three and eight jags; (2) have jags that are approximately one-sixth to one-third the total height of the charge being erased; and (3) have jags that are not straight but rather are wavy or curved.

Alternatively, the submitter could decide to resubmit the primary charge as a horse's head couped.

Wade Greenwall. Badge. (Fieldless) An annulet beviled eight times Or.

This badge is returned for redesign. No documentation was provided by the submitter or in commentary to justify complex lines applied to annulets. Additionally, we have no evidence of the beviled division applied multiple times, even to charges where this division is appropriate, like bends.
