Originally returned on the September 2019 Outlands LoI

<Brigid> - AStG Report 1716 - Saint Brigid was venerated throughout the Gaelic world. Apnd-H Doc Brigid is a feminine given name documentable as a Saint's name from Catholic Encyclopedia Online. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02784b.htm, which references her relics being (re)discovered and venerated in 1185 as well as her inclusion in the Stowe Missal of the 8th or 9th century. Spellings of the name from the Annals Index include forms with -t- and -d-: sancte Brigide/sancte Brigite. It also includes a form with -t: S. Brighit. These suggest an early Brigid.

Per pale angled argent and azure, a griffin and a dog combatant counterchanged

The original device [Per pale wavy argent and azure, a griffin and a Norwegian elkhound combatant counterchanged] was returned at Laurel in October 2019 with the following commentary:

This device is returned due to lack of documentation for the breed of dog depicted (Norwegian elkhound). The submitter should consider a period breed of dog, especially one used in heraldry (e.g. a talbot, greyhound, mastiff, etc.)

Consultation with the submitter provides two examples of registered elkhound devices: Miriam of Bristol (Jan 1998, Ansteorra) and Aurora of Dragonship Haven (June 2008; http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2008/06/08-06lar.html#72). In the documentation for the accecptance in 2008:

The submitter requested that the dog be blazoned as an Elghund, the Danish and Norwegian name for the breed known in English as the elkhound. There is evidence that dogs resembling the modern elkhound existed throughout period, so the depiction of this dog is registerable. The earliest use of the term elkhound is 1835, well outside of even our gray area. Had it been shown that the term "Elghund" was period, we would have used the English translation of that term so that the blazon was more easily understood; however, no evidence was found that the term Elghund was a period term for the dog. Until such evidence is found, we will simply identify the charge as a generic dog.

The new submbmission retains the Elkhound image, with the blazon "dog" per this previous return.

The documentation in that submittal states: Phaedra was also documented as a name from Greek literature. Since "[t]he story of Phaedra was very well known in period, particularly in Renaissance France" (as noted by Metron Ariston), Phaedra is registerable in this name under the guidelines for use of literary names (see Cover Letter for the February 1999 LoAR for more details). The Greek spelling for Phaedra would be Phaidra. Additionally, "Phaidra" is already registered to this submitter on the 10-2015 LOaR.

20: Ulric de Gothia -Resub Device

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in August of 2021, via the Outlands.

Sable, a wyvern displayed and in chief a crescent Or

This submission is to be associated with Ulric de Gothia

Returned at Laurel on the August 2021 LoAR (http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2021/08/21-08lar.html#209)

On resubmission, the chest and body should squarely face the viewer, or squarely face to the side, rather than be rotated partway in between. In other words, the head and body of a wyvern displayed should be in the same posture as the head and body of an eagle displayed.

The emblazon of this submission is identical to that of the previous submission.

Correction to Device (2023-Apr-19 22:04:21): The full text of the return on the August 2021 LoAR (http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2021/08/21-08lar.html#209) Sable, a wyvern displayed and in chief a crescent Or

This device is returned for the lack of documentation to support the trian aspect of the wyvern: "Absent documentation, we will cease to register any depictions of animate charges displayed with the torso twisted to dexter or sinister as of the January 2018 decision meeting." [July 2017 Cover Letter] and [Irene MacKenny, July 2017, R-An Tir]

On resubmission, the chest and body should squarely face the viewer, or squarely face to the side, rather than be rotated partway in between. In other words, the head and body of a wyvern displayed should be in the same posture as the head and body of an eagle displayed.

The use of a wyvern displayed is a step from core practice. Per the September 2018 Cover Letter: "While it's been long-standing policy that [dragons and wyverns] have no difference between them, the recent ruling on quadrupeds affronty draws a stark contrast between dragons (which can no longer be depicted as displayed) and wyverns (which, following the pattern of cockatrices from Guillim, can be displayed, albeit a step from period practice)."

https://oscar.sca.org/images/emblazons/Laurel/2021-03/Ulric_de_Gothia-Device-5156-C-EMBLAZON.jpg

The only difference between the two emblazons is the size of the crescent.
