7: Yrsa Ketilsdottir - New Badge (KLoI)

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in May of 2005, via An Tir.

(Fieldless) A hippo argent spotted of diverse colours.

Submitter is from Seagirt.

Submitter and their consulting herald are aware that "spotted of diverse colours" is currently limited to heraldic panthers but submitter is willing to take on the test case to get herself a Pride Hippo.

Questions were raised in the Internal as to whether "spotted of diverse tinctures" was worth a DC vs a plain tinctured charge; it is this herald's opinion that it does but if it does not, there is a conflict:

Sylvanus Perrin, February of 2002 (via Atlantia): (Fieldless) A rhinoceros statant argent.

In addition, Tibor Moonbeam found a Nov 2006 CL item that may be relevant:

(https://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2006/11/06-11cl.html):

We are therefore overturning the 1994 precedent, and ruling as follows:

The unmodified term panther refers to the English monster: a maneless lion, incensed and colorfully spotted. Both the spots and flames are part of the definition; but the spots' tincture doesn't count for difference.

This precedent appears to concern the tincture(s) of diverse spots, not their existence, but we wrap this all up and present it to Wreath as neatly as possible for his consideration.

Our thanks to Tibor Moonbeam for very nice precedent diving and writeups in the Internal discussion of this time.
