Ealdormere ILoI dated 2023-08-24

Unto the most honourable members of the Ealdormere College of Heralds, and to its most distinguished external commenters, from Dietrich von Sachsen, Acting Green Mantle Herald, greetings.

These are the submissions for consideration this month from the Kingdom of Ealdormere.

1: Adnar Dionadair and Tamsin Kitto -New Badge

OSCAR finds the name (Adnar Dionadair) registered exactly as it appears in October of 1992, via the Middle.
OSCAR finds the name (Tamsin Kitto) registered exactly as it appears in November of 2004, via Ealdormere.

(Fieldless) Within and conjoined to a vol, two reed pens in saltire sable


2: Ascelyn of Ben Dunfirth -New Name (NP) & New Device

Vert semé lozenges Or, a bend ermine between two ash trees eradicated Or

The following changes are allowed: All
Spelling (Ascelyn) most important.

"Ascelyn" - E.G. Withycombe, "The Oxford Dictionary of English Christian Names", Second Edition. Oxford University Press. 1950. page 2.

"Ben Dunfirth" - Byname constructed from branch name, registered in January of 1996 (via the Middle).


3: Ascelyn of Ben Dunfirth -New Badge

OSCAR is unable to find the name, either registered or submitted.

(Fieldless) A sprig of ash inverted vert


4: Claire de Lyon -Resub Device

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in December of 2022, via Ealdormere.

(Fieldless) A serpent in annulo vert maintaining in its mouth and tail an annulet Or

The original submission (Fieldless) A serpent in annulo vorant of its own tail vert, was returned on the June 2023 LoAR.

"This badge is returned for conflict with the Barony of Loch Soilleir's badge, (Fieldless) A sea-serpent in annulo head to chief and vorant of its own tail vert. By precedent, reaffirmed as recently as August 2014, there is no difference between a serpent and a sea-serpent:

[Argent, a serpent erect contourny, a chief gules] This conflicts with Robert de la Tor-Fraisse, Argent, a sea-serpent haurient reguardant gules. There is only one CD for the addition of the chief. An examination of the emblazon shows that Conall's sea-serpent is in essentially the same posture as Robert's. [Conall Ruadh Mag Fhionnain, July 1999, R-Atlantia]"

This is a redesign that should clear the conflict.

Correction to Device (2023-Sep-18 18:09:39): This should be a badge, not a device.


5: Ganjin Suren -New Badge

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in July of 2020, via Ealdormere.

Per fess Or and sable, a lozenge counterchanged


6: Hrvoje Mihajlovic -New Badge
