'Ástríðr' - Norse given name. Geirr Bassi Haraldsson. The Old Norse Name. Studia Marklandica I. Olney, MD: Markland Medieval Militia. 1977. (Appendix H No Copy)

'Ylfva' - Swedish Descriptive Byname. Wilhelmina Stalberg. Antechningar om svenska qvinnor. Stockholm, P.G. Berg. 1864. Pg. 203. (Documentation Attached)

Additional Documentation and thoughts by Orle:

Ástríðr: Lena Peterson's Nordiskt Runnamnslexikon has runic inscriptions with the feminine given name <Ástríðr>, and cross referencing thorse against the Rundata database dates those inscriptions from c.990 all the way to c.1050. E.H. Lind s.n. <Ástríðr> cols. 87-89 tells us that this name was common in Norway throughout the entire medieval period and was found in Iceland from the Settlement onwards. SMP s.n. <Astridh> has spellings in <Astrid> from the late 14th c. and <Astridh> into the 15th c.

Ylva: The Administrative Handbook (https://heraldry.sca.org/admin.html) states, my emphasis: "Documenting evidence must be included for all name elements, constructions, and patterns, as well as any non-standard armorial elements or practices. Such documentation must include references to specific pages and/or entries in the source material and translations must be provided for any sources not in English."

The cited book can more easily be found at http://runeberg.org/sqvinnor/ -- it's a 19th c. work with short entries on women in Swedish History. The spellings are modern to the era in which the work was written.

<Ingrid Ylva> was the mother of the very famous Birger Jarl. She was born sometime in the late 1100s and died in the mid 1200s.

<Ylva> is an Old Swedish (c.1300s and after) derivation from Old Norse <ylgr>, <ylgja> "she-wolf"; the related verb <ýla> is "to howl". See: Lexicon Poëticum Antiquæ Linguæ Septentrionalis p. 900 s.v. <ylgja>, <ylgr>, <ýla>. (Sveinbjörn Egilsson. Copenhagen: J. D. Qvist & Co. 1860. http://books.google.com/books...) and Lexica Poetica Antiquæ Linguæ Septentrionalia p. 632 s.v. <ylgr>, p. 668 s.v. <ýla> (Finnur Jónsson. Copenhagen: S. L. Møllers. 1931. http://www.septentrionalia.net/lex/index2.php...)

Such a byname follows the well-established pattern of animal names used as bynames, for ex.: <kraka> "crow"; <lambi> "lamb"; <Hafr-> "Billygoat-"; <hestr> "horse"; <hœngr> "salmon"; <spǫrr> "sparrow"; <galti> "boar", etc.

Date and Time: During the Viking Age, I'd expect something like <Ástríðr ylgja>. If we're talking about the 13th c. and later, we might see something more like <Astrid ylva>.

Additional Documentation by Ragged Staff & Crampette:

Hardouin is a French masculine given name found in the Family Search Records as the baptism of Hardouin Dolarsianne, 9 April 1645, Côtes-du-Nord, France. No batch number, but an image (Image #1) shows the name recorded twice in the item. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6FQN-SFJ4

Submitter would prefer the given name spelled Harduin, if that can be documented.

of Herstal is a locative byname. Herstal is recorded in Latin in the Toponymical Dictionary of Belgium, the Netherlands, Northern France and West Germany (before 1226) in an online database. https://bouwstoffen.kantl.be/tw/lemma/...

Hardouin is found in a book dated to 1622 on Google Books (Image #2) - https://www.google.com/books/edition/Histoire_g%C......

Juetta Copin notes the following: I think we can make a case for -uin and -ouin being interchangeable. Familysearch has many results for both Balduin and Baldouin in France.

Originally submitted on the April 2023 LoP (https://oscar.sca.org/index.php?...) as Per pale sable and vert, a polypus argent. Conflict was found but Palimpsest noted no conflict with the reversed field tincture so Kingdom pended the device on the May 2023 LoR (http://rampart.outlandsheralds.org/2023-05-lop/2305-lor.html) to allow the submitter time to submit new art with the reversed tincture. The submitter also utilized a new polypus as commentors on the April 2023 LoP noted the original was 'kind of trian'.

The previous submission, Per fess gules and argent, a dragon sable bellied Or was returned on the January 2023 LoAR (http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2023/01/23-01lar.html#...) with the following: {This device is returned for conflict with the badge of Eric de Dragonslaire, (Fieldless) A dragon salient sable breathing flames gules.

Vagn is an Old Norse masculine given name found in Geir Bassi Haraldsson (GB) as one of the family saga names, p 15.

Egillsson is an Old Norse patronymic byname. The root given name, Egill, is found in GB p 9 and is noted as from the Landnamabok, which dates it to the 9th-11th centuries. The patronymic is formed according to rules in GB, pp 17-18.

Orle notes: <Egill> forms its genitive as <Egils>.

Better write up of the submitted documentation provided by Ragged Staff. (Thanks!)
