2: Emrys of Cambion -New Name (NP) & New Device

Argent, a baton sinister between four furisons in bend sinister two and two sable

No holding name.

Emrys is the Welsh version of Ambrose https://dmnes.org/name/Ambrose and can be dated to throughout our period The name of Clan Cambion was registered to Rorik Fredericsson in November, 1979 and has been used in forming a fair number of registered Society names: Barbara of Cambion, Gunnild of Cambion, James Ingram of Cambion, Leannan of Cambion/Lerben of Cambion, Myfanwy o'Mwyle ni Cambion, Nessa Dunna of Cambion, Stefan of Cambion and Volodomir of Cambion. However, while registered territorial names can be used fairly freely in formation of personal names, current precedent may restrict the use of household names as Society-compatible personal name components unless the personal relationships required for the ERA apply. As a result, the Pennsic Consult Table opted to document the byname as a "constructed variant" of the byname Campion, although little supporting documentation was provided. However, Black (Surnames of Scotland, s.n. Campion) dates Simon Campion to 1500, though that is in original an occupational surname (= "champion"). Reaney and Wilson (Dictionary of English Surnames, s.n. Champion) cite Herbert campion dated to 1148 and Roger le Campion 1197 and note an alternative locative derivation "Champion may sometimes be a corruption of CHAMPAIN. Champion Wood (PN K 287 [i.e., Place Names of Kent by Wallenberg, pg 287]) owes its name to a family variously called de Chaumpayne or Champeyneys (1278) and de Campayne (1332)." It should be noted that the alternation of the two bilabial plosives "p" and "b" in English names is well-documented with Reaney and Wilson showing dozens of examples including de Camp Arnulfi (1172), de Cambernof (1189) and de Chaumbernum (1230) for Champernowne (op. cit., s.n. Champernowne), Campbell (1282), Cambel (1296), Camble (1513) and Campell (1524) for Campbell (op.cit, s.n. Campbell). Indeed, the alternation is even documented in the Oxford English Dictionary for champion: from line 1007 of the Havelok from around 1300 "With hem com mani chanbioun."

3: John le Mailur -New Name (NP) & New Badge

(Fieldless) A spur fracted and conjoined in chevron argent

No holding name.

Spur is a heraldic charge, cited in the Pictorial Dictionary (http://mistholme.com/dictionary/spur/) as being found in Italian heraldry, and the same object is found in the MED (s.n. spore). The spelling spur is found in Shakespeare, Henry V, Act IV, scene 6: "From helmet to the spur all blood he was." Henry V was first performed in 1599. (http://www.britannica.com/topic/Henry-V-by-Shakespeare). Cracked is a descriptive byname referring to a spur fracted. Fracted charges do happen in the SCA (such as sword fracted list in Pictorial Dictionary (example limited to intermittent internet). Cracked is closed to the vernacular. Cracked is not in the MED, so we still need to date the word. Visual changes should be registrable as adjectives, such as Croskeyes (keys crossed) found in English Sign Names, (http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/inn/), dated to James I. Company is a standard designator. (More examples would be appreciated.)

Purpure, a calamarie argent maintaining in base two rapiers Or and on a chief invected argent three quavers vert

No holding name.
Spelling ('Ríoghnach') most important.

'Ríoghnach' is attested in the Martyrology of Donegal as <Rioghnach inghen Fheradhaigh> as a saint (Feast day 18 Dec), and in the Martyrology of Tallaght as <Rignaige inghen Feradhaigh>. nEachach is found in Adrian Room "A Dictionary of Irish Place-Names" Revised Ed. 1994: s.n. Neagh, Lough: "Neagh, Lough (Antrim) Loch nEathach, 'Eochaid's lake'. Eochaid (Eochaidh) was a legendary kin of Munster who was said to have drowned in the lough when it suddenly flooded in the 1st century AD." From Alys: "A locative byname based on this place name has to be the WHOLE place name in the genitive form [Mór Cille Caindigh, 2/2016 LoAR, A-East]. So I think it would be Rioghnach Locha nEchaigh" If the spelling of "nEachach" is judged unregisterable, submitter would accept the documented spelling "nEathach". FIXME: gaelic locative
