Per chevron azure and sable, a chevron embattled argent between three roses counterchanged Or and argent.

This is a resubmission of a device Returned on the July 2021 LoAR, redesigned at addressed the reasons for the return:

Per chevron embattled azure and sable, three roses counterchanged Or and argent.

This device is returned per SENA Appendix H, for use of a low-contrast complex line of division. For example, in the December 2018 return of the armory of Lucius Domitius Anatolius, Per bend sinister potenty azure and sable, three wolves courant in annulo argent, we said in part:

In some cases, even if there is no overlying charge, a low-contrast complex line of division may be unidentifiable and thus unregisterable. Similarly, in some cases, the specific shades used in a submission may render a low-contrast complex line of division unidentifiable and thus unregisterable, even if the combination has previously been registered.[...]

Appendix H specifically cites the combination of azure and sable in a complex line of division as unregisterable even without an overlying charge. [...]

Old Item: Ghislaine d'Auxerre, to be retained as an alternate name.

This submission was processed through the mid-year Virtual Heralds Point.

(Fieldless) A fox rampant contourny sable marked argent ravishing a goose argent.

This submission is to be associated with the name Fox Run Manor.

The household name was submitted as Foxrun Manor on West's 4/2021 LoI and the result should be on the 7/2021 LoAR. A badge with the same blazon was returned 4/1996: Conflict with Conrad Stronghand, Or, a wolf salient to sinister sable maintaining a rose gules barbed and seeded proper. There is a CD for fieldless v. fielded, but nothing for the type of canid, for the difference between rampant and salient, or for the type and/or tincture of the maintained charge. Conrad's badge was reblazoned in August 2002 as Or, a wolf counter-salient sable, maintaining in its mouth a rose gules, barbed and seeded proper. The O&A notes "Per ruling on June 2017 LoAR, the maintained rose is too small to be recognizable and does not count for difference"; however, the submitted badge is clear with a DC for fieldlessness and another for adding the maintained goose. This is technically new to Laurel even though the same badge was previously returned as the badge (Fieldless) A fox rampant contourney sable estencely and marked argent ravishing a goose argent was registered Feb 1997 using the free resubmission. It was released in Sept 1998.

Submitter desires a feminine name. Spelling (double L in the middle of Lillias) most important.

Lillias - a female given name found in "Dictionary of Tudor London Names" by Aryanhwy merch Catmael [https://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/english/tudorlondon.pdf] at p. 30 s.n. Lillias dated to 1582

Potter - an English surname found in "Name Distribution in King's Stanley Marriages: 1573-1600" by Mari ingen Briain meic Donnchada [http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/KingsStanley/SurnamesAlpha.shtml] dated to 1594 and 1598.

The submitter is aware of the possibility that this name might be considered to presume on the fictional character of Lily Potter from the Harry Potter book and movie series. The submitter believes her name should not presume because the fictional character was always known as Lily, not Lillias. Lillias also has one more syllable than Lily. However, if Pelican finds that this name presumes, the submitter consents to add the element "of Folkstone" to this name.

Folkstone - a period spelling of the modern English place name Folkestone, found at pp. 167-171 of A Perambulation of Kent: Conteining the Description, Hystorie, and Customes of that Shyre by William Lambarde, published in 1596 [https://books.google.com/books?id=oMVh6xLUsSoC].

Company of the Green Gryphon

Company - a designator used for household names per Appendix E of SENA. The spelling company is dated to 1450 in the Middle English Dictionary s.v. compaignie n.

This household name follows the pattern of names derived from inn signs in the form color + heraldic charge, as set out in "Alys's Simple Guide to Household Names" by Alys Mackyntoich [http://heraldry.sca.org/names/households.html].

Green - found in the MED s.v. senten v.(2) dated to 1460

The spelling gryffon for the heraldic charge is found in the Middle English Dictionary s.v. bek n.(3) dated to circa 1460: "Gryffon of goulys, armyd, with aseure bek and fet." This name conflicts with "Green Griffin, House of the," registered to Anna Moren in May of 2020 (via Caid). As the designator is different, this name would be registerable with permission to conflict under NPN3E.

The submitter would like to pursue permission to conflict from Anna Moren and the consulting herald has begun that process.

In the event that the submitter is not able to obtain permission to conflict, she consents to the addition of the element "of Folkstone" to clear the conflict.

Folkstone is a period spelling of the modern English place name Folkestone, found at pp. 167-171 of A Perambulation of Kent: Conteining the Description, Hystorie, and Customes of that Shyre by William Lambarde, published in 1596 [https://books.google.com/books?id=oMVh6xLUsSoC].

The pattern of adding place names to inn sign names was recognized in precedent in the September 2018 LoAR: "Heralds at the Pelican decision meetings found multiple examples of inn names that included place names, including Anker in East Smithfield, the syne of the Angell in Chepe, the Angel Taverne at Tower Hill, the Ship Taverne at Waping Wall, and the Bare Taverne in Greenwich." [Maximillian Elgin. Household name Black Sheep House of the North, 9/2018 LoAR, A-East]

Sable, three eyes in pale Or between flaunches plumetty argent and azure.

This is a Resubmission to Laurel, device returned Oct 2018:

Vert, an acanthus leaf issuant from base argent between flaunches plumetty azure and Or.

This device is returned for conflict with the device of Ioseph of Locksley, Vert, a tree eradicated argent. There is a DC for adding the flaunches. The acanthus leaf as depicted on the emblazon is indistinguishable from some period heraldic renditions of trees, and having the leaf issuant from base is worth no DC.

Old Item: Maryam bint Husam al Din, to be retained as an alternate name.

The submitter will NOT accept MAJOR changes and cares about the gender (female) of the name.

Sable, a flame proper, in chief five mullets in chevron, a bordure argent.

Originally submitted this month as Sable, a flame proper between in chief five mullets in chevron and in base a chain ? argent. The submitter is a Knight, as of Sept. 2021 via the West [http://heralds.westkingdom.org/Awards/individual.php?namecode=7638], and is thus allowed the use of a chain.

But this has the same conflict as the July return, so the submitter updated it again, changing the chain to an argent bordure.

Previously submitted in March 2019 and July 2021, this is a redesign to clear the conflict found at that time:

Sable, a flame proper and in chief five mullets in chevron argent. This device is returned for conflict: William of Sark: Sable, a flame proper, registered January 1973.

There is one difference given for the addition of the secondary charge groups (the mullets), but two DCs are required to clear this conflict.

(Fieldless) A winged monkey segreant bendy argent and sable.
