(Fieldless) On a flame argent a heart azure.

His name was registered in Mar. 2005, via the East. He also has a device, Vert, three flames argent each charged with a heart azure, registered in Dec. 2006 via the East. His previous badge submission of (Fieldless) A heart azure was returned on the Aug. 2007 LoD for conflict with Clarissa Wykeham (Jul. 2000 Middle): Or, a seeblatt azure. This submission changes the primary charge to clear this conflict.

2 Catte of Lennox (f) - New Name
Herald of Record: Lyanna of Kerneough

She cares most about 'Scottish' language and/or culture.

Catte is a form of Katherine, found in "Early 16th Century Scottish Lowland Names" by Sharon Krossa (http://www.medievalscotland.org/scotnames/lowland16/womenalpha.shtml) with four instances, dated 1531 (twice), 1540, and 1548.

Lennox is a territorial name derived from levenach 'smooth stream', according to The Book of Scottish Clans by Iain Zaczek (Cico Books Ltd, London, 2001). "In the Middle Ages, this province was transmuted into the earldom of Lennox. Malcolm, the 5th Earl, supported Robert the Bruce..."

3 Duncan de Montdragon (m) - New Name & New Device
Herald of Record: Brunissende / Lillia

Per pale Or and gules, two bears combattant counterchanged, on a chief sable a sword fesswise Or.

He cares most about the meaning 'Duncan + Dragon'.

Duncan: Black p. 130 s.n. Campbell lists a Duncan Campbell dominus de Gaunan dated to about 1390.

de Montdragon: Dauzat & Rostaing p. 467 s.n. Mons has Mondragon, Vaucl. (de Montedraconis, 1137); Montdragon, Tarn (lat. draco, dragon; peut-etre nom de personne). Morlet p. 703 s.n. Mondragon, var. orthographique de Montdragon, n. de lieu d'origine (Tarn) canton de Lautrec. [Bruni, I know you can read all this, but I can't...]

4 Estela du Frayse (f) - New Name & New Device
Herald of Record: Esperanza Razzolini d'Asolo

Per fess azure and Or, two oak sprigs fructed and leaved and a talbot counterchanged.

No major changes.

She cares most about sound.

Estela: Academy of S. Gabriel report 2227 ((http://www.s-gabriel.org/2227) identifies this as an Occitan name in use in the 13th through 15th centuries, citing Brenon: Le petit livre aventureux des prenoms occitans au temps du Catharisme (Tolosa: Loubatieres, 1992) and Aryanhwy's "Jewish Given Names Found in Les Noms Des Israelites en France" (http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/levy/).

S. Gabriel report 2261 gives Du Fraysse as a likely late 16th century spelling of the modern southern French surname Dufraysse, citing Aryanhwy and Talan's "Names Found in Commercial Documents from Bordeaux, 1470-1520" (http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/bordeaux.html), R&W s.n. Dufrayne, and Dauzat Les Noms de Famille de France (Librairie Guenagaud, Paris, 1988). [No documentation supplied for dropping one 's'.]

5 Estela du Frayse and William Lancton - New Joint Household Name & New Joint Household Badge

Submitted Name: Golden Oak Inn

6 Hartshorn-dale, Shire of - Resub Heraldic Title
Herald of Record: Lillia de Vaux
Submitted Name: Attire Pursuivant

The branch's name was registered in Aug. 1988, via the East. The shire's arms, Or, a stag's attire and on a chief azure three laurel wreaths Or, were registered in Oct. 1988 via the East. The previously submitted heraldic title, Massacre Pursuivant, was returned on the Mar. 2007 LoD for using a post-period (and possibly offensive) blazon term. [My apologies for the awkward avoidance of pronouns: I didn't want to use third person, because I live in Hartshorn-dale, but first person plural looks ever weirder.]

This title follows the pattern "names of heraldic charges". Parker defines Attire as "a single horn of a stag. Both the horns are commonly called a stag's attires."

7 Jennette Elizabeth Colquhoun - Resub Device
Herald of Record: Lillia de Vaux

Quarterly vert and azure, on an open book argent a rose azure, seeded Or and barbed vert.

Her name was registered in Aug. 2003, via the East. This identical device submission was pended on the 2002-02 decisions letter, because her name was being returned. The name was subsequently resubmitted and registered, but the device stayed in limbo. It is hereby rescued (we hope).

8 Leofcwen of Endeweard (f) - New Name & New Device
Herald of Record: Brita Mairi Svensdottir

Azure, a chevron cotised and in base a bow Or, string to base.

No major changes.

She requests authenticity for, and cares most about the language and/or culture of, 'pre-conquest Anglo-Saxon England'.

Leofcwen is found in "Anglo-Saxon Women's Names from Royal Charters" by Marieke van de Dal (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/marieke/anglosaxonfem/). The source document is an 11th c. will which grants to Lefquene fifteen acres of land; Leofcwen is the standardized form. The name is also found in Talan Gwynek's "Feminine Given Names in A Dictionary of English Surnames", under Lefquen.

10 Magnus Wolfhunte - Resub Device
Herald of Record: Mark Vier

Counter-ermine, a fer-a-loup inverted and issuant from both dexter and sinister three wolf's teeth argent.

His name was registered in Sep. 2004, via the East. His previous device submission, Counter-ermine, issuant from both dexter and sinister three wolf's teeth argent, was returned on the Oct. 2007 LoD for conflict with Isolde de Ely (Dec. 2001 Atlantia): Per pale vert and sable, three wolf's teeth issuant from dexter and three wolf's teeth issuant from sinister argent, with just one CD for the field. This submission adds a fer-a-loup to clear this conflict. The return noted that there is an example of arms using wolf's teeth issuant from both sides in Siebmacher, plate 135.

11 Margaret of Highbridge - Resub Device
Herald of Record: Evan, originally

Gules, a fess embattled enarched on the lower edge Or masoned sable.

Her name was registered in Jan. 2004, via the East. Her previous device, identical to this one, appeared on the Oct. 2003 Letter of Report, marked as 'forwarded'. It somehow never made it onto a letter of intent to Laurel, however. It has been long enough since the initial decision to forward this that it seemed prudent to put it through the kingdom process again. The previous submission was a resubmission: her first try, Sable, a "double arched bridge" Or masoned sable, was returned on the Nov. 2002 LoR for conflict with William of Hoghton (Nov. 1981 West): Sable, two towers joined by a bridge Or, and for being not really a heraldic bridge, but more like a fess couped with two arched holes cut in it. This submission changes the field and the details of the primary charge to clear this conflict.

12 Roland de Endeweard - Resub Badge
Herald of Record: Brita Mairi Svensdottir

Per bend sinister wavy azure and argent, a loon naiant to sinister and a loon naiant, counterchanged.

This is to be associated with House of the Two Loons, registered in Dec. 2006 via the East (under his holding name). His name was registered in Oct. 2007, via the East. His previous badge submission, Azure, a bend sinister argent between two loons naiant proper, was returned on the June 2006 LoD because the loons lacked sufficient contrast with the field. This submission features counterchanged loons to fix this problem.

13 Rychyld de Lochabre (f) - New Name
Herald of Record: Scolastica la souriete

No major changes.

She cares most about meaning: 'Rychyld being variation of Rachel'.

Rychyld is found as a matronymic in R&W p. 377 s.n. Richell: Walter Rychyld 1297, Willelmus filius Richild 1212.

Lochabre is dated to 1309 in Johnston p. 203 s.n. Lochaber.

14 Scolastica la souriete - Resub Badge
Herald of Record: Palotzi Marti

(Fieldless) A drop spindle sable, threaded ermine.

Her name was registered in Oct. 2006, via the East. Her previous badge submission of (Fieldless) A drop spindle sable, threaded argent was returned on the Nov. 2007 LoAR for conflict with Helva of Saxony (Nov. 1982 Middle): Vert, a full drop spindle argent. This submission changes the tincture of the thread (which has been ruled to be the primary tincture of a threaded drop spindle) to clear this conflict.

15 Wenthelen of Drakelow (f) - New Name & New Device
Herald of Record: Scolastica / Lillia

Gules, a dragon segreant between in chief two drinking horns Or, a chief Or goutty de sang.

She cares most about sound.

Wenthelen is a feminine name dated to 1411 in R&W p. 475 under Wantling.

Drakelow: Robert Drakelowe is dated to 1397 in R&W p. 141 s.n. Drakeley. Watts p. 194 under Drakelow dates Drakelow(e) to 1310x1330, so the submitted spelling (without the final 'e') should be fine.

16 William Lancton (m) - New Name & New Device
Herald of Record: Esperanza Razzolini d'Asolo

Per pale azure and gules, a pale wavy between two lightning bolts argent.

No major changes.

He cares most about sound.
