Correction (2009-Sep-23 08:09:57): This submittor will allow major changes, and appreciates the advice regarding the locative 'von Sachen'

The submittor wishes to apply for regional variation to allow for an argent cross on a field of Or. The sources show that Jerusalem had metal on metal, but I am not sure if this is sufficient support to the College of Arms.

"The rule of tincture states that they should not appear in contrast with each other, although there are a few examples of arms that flout this rule. The best known example is that of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem, which had a gold cross (with four small crosses) on silver." (Oette, Mike, "Armoria ABC: Metals", http://www.geocites.com/armoria/metals.html

"Many writers have gone so far as to say that the only case of an infraction of this rule [of tincture] will be found in the arms of Jerusalem: Argent, a cross potent between four crosslets or/" (Fox-Davies, The Wordsworth Guide to Heraldry, 1996, page 85)

"However, Matthew Paris, the compiler of England's first roll of arms, shows Count Eustace's sons as kings of Jerusalem bearing the famous arms of Or a Cross Argent [sic] when he records the death of 1100 of the elder son, Godfrey de Bouillon, and the coronation of his brother Baldwin I in the same year. Also the banner carried by Count Eustace in the Bayeaux Tapestry is usually identified as the Papal banner granted to William, and the device of a cross and four smaller crosses is not associated with the kingdom of Jerusalem till the mid-thirteenth century, when Hugh de Lusignan, whose descent from the Counts of Boulogne was remote, took the title." (The Oxford Guide to Heraldry, Thomas Woodcock, and John Matrin RObinson, Oxford University Press 1988, page 7.
