2: Ascelyn of Ben Dunfirth -New Badge

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

Sable, a stag's attire palewise gules

This is an IAP. In Siebmacher we can demonstrate a pattern of gules charges on sable fields:

Pg 75/Plate 55 V:Kesslitz Per bend gules and sable, a bend argent between two estoiles argent and gules.

Pg 141/Plate 121 Die Themar Per chevron throughout Or and sable, three roses two and one gules.

Pg 178/Plate 158 Die Thomshirn Quarterly barry argent and azure and sable, the sable quarters charged with a Caucasian male argent vested gules.

P181/plate 161 Die Zimmer Per pale sable and gules, two horns counterchanged.

P202/plate 182 V Radenhavesen Per pale gules and sable, an eagle counterchanged.

P226/plate 206 Die Grolandt Sable, a rose gules slipped vert.

As can be seen, all types of charges, animate and inanimate, geometric and non-geometric were placed gules on sable fields. These charges were placed solo or with other charges. In addition, low contrast gules on sable can be seen with tertiary charges:

P166/plate 146 Flanse Argent, on an eagle sable, a crescent gules.

P179/plate 159 V Breidenbach Argent, on a wing sable a Z gules.

P185/plate 165 V Ossa Argent, on a bend sinister sable, three roundels gules.

A stag's attire can be found on P145/Plate 125 Hirschberg.


3: Elias Forester -New Name (NP)

Submitter desires a gender-neutral name.
Sound (Elias) most important.

Elias: found in Bardsley, p. 67, sn Atwater: Elias Atewater, co Camb, 1273 CE.

Forester: Rebecka Forester (female), christened 4 Mar 1594 in London, England. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JQ17-2ZQ

4: Elsebeth Farberyn -New Badge

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in September of 2016, via Ealdormere.

(Fieldless) In saltire a thistle slipped and leaved vert and a thistle slipped and leaved purpure


5: Magdalena de l'appetit -New Name (NP) & New Device

Magdalena de l'appetit

Per pall gules and argent and Or, a stag's head affronty sable

No holding name.
No major changes.
Sound (Submitter would like the play on words with Appetite and Petite in the last name) most important.

Magdalena - "Italian Renaissance Women's Names" by Rhian Lyth of Blackmoor Vale http://heraldry.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/ital... lists this name as a feminine name from Florence dated to the 14th and 15th C.

appetit is a French noun for 'appetite' found in Trésor de la Langue Française informatisé, s.v. appétit, dated c1180 in the spelling apetit and 1370-2 in the spelling appetit (http://stella.atilf.fr/Dendien/scripts/tlfiv5/aff...?...).

Per SENA Appendix C, we can mix late period French and Italian Per SENA Appendix A, the French descriptive bynames do not need further documentation.

de l'appetit I believe follows this pattern. The College is requesting assistance documenting the name de l'appetit and the pattern.


6: Sibylle Katterina Holloway -New Name (NP) & New Device

Vert, three butterflies argent within an orle Or

Submitter desires a feminine name.
No holding name.
No major changes.
Spelling (spelling of Sibylle) most important.

Sibylle- female first name, French (Latin) 1310/11 Sibilla (nom) GasReg-A p. 100; 1579 Sibilla (nom) FlorLyon p. 40, Sibillam (acc) ibid. p. 40 Client would like to trade out second "i" for a "y". Additional documentation for the given name from findmypast with attached image: Sibylle Murrell was married 1639, Great Cressingham, Norfolk, England. Late period English given names can be borrowed into German per the February 2015 Cover Letter., eliminating the lingual mix. Katterina- female name, 14th to 15th century High German,found St. Gabriel report 3164. Double given names are allowed in both French and German as per appendix A, SENA. Holloway- Herald personally attests that client mundane family name is "Holloway", Canadian Drivers License, issued 2020-2025. Wynne Ap Rhodri and Lillia Crampette.
