5: Cora Sforza di Portoferraio - New Name Change (KLoI)
(NP) OSCAR NOTE: the old name was registered in November of 2006, via Ansteorra as Caitilín inghean Fheichín. Old Item: Caitilin inghean Fheichin, to be retained as an alternate name. Documentation for "Cora": Cora is an Italian feminization of the given masculine name Coro, found in Juliana de Luna's A Listing of all Men's Given Names from the Condado Section of the Florence Catasto of 1427 https://www.s-gabriel.org/names/juliana/condado/mens.... Changing an o for an a to feminize names occurs frequently - in just this list we have Benedetto/Benedetta, Giuliano/Giuliana, and Serafino/Serafina. Each feminine name can be found in other documents in the College of Arms articles. Cora is also found in the article "Italian Names from Imola, 1312." https://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/italian/imola... Sforza is an Italian family surname. It is found in Juliana de Luna's Late Period Italian Women's Names: Florence. The byname list shows Sforza/Sfortia. https://medievalscotland.org/jes/Nuns/Florence.shtml#... Relevant precedent: Submitted as Orlando Sforza, precedent states: The surname Sforza is one of those names such as Hohenstaufen which are so closely associated with a single sovereign royal family as to be presumptuous in their use. Indeed, in times past it was one of those that were used as an exemplar for that category of restricted names. (The name of the dynasty was derived from the nickname of its founder and in period was associated closely with the immediate family of the sovereign Dukes of Milan.) The use of the Sforza surname is tantamount to a claim to being from the immediate family of the sovereign Dukes of Milan and is not allowed under RFS VI.1.[Elizabetta Sforza, July 1997, R-Atenveldt] After the Pelican decision meeting, the consulting herald indicated that the submitter would accept the name Orlando di Sforza. The use of a marked patronym is not presumptuous, so we have changed the name and registered this form. di Portoferraio is a locative Italian byname. The town of Portoferraio is found in a book published in 1583 in Italy. See attached image. https://www.google.com/books/edition/Istoria_de_s...?...... Construction of this name - given + surname + locative is found in the Italian section of SENA Appendix A. No Conflicts Found The above submission has images. To view them, see the URLs below: |

 7: Hallbjorn Eyvindarson - Resub Device (KLoI)
OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in April of 2020, via Atlantia. Per chevron Or and argent, a calamari issuant from base azure, in chief two domestic cats combatant sable The submitter's previous device, Per chevron Or and argent, a chevron azure, in chief two cats sejant erect respectant sable, overall a calamarie gules was returned on the April 2020 LOAR "for violation of multiple rules within SENA regarding core armory style, primarily SENA A.3.D.1, A.3.E.1 and A.3.F.5." This is a redesign. Reason for return: "This device is returned for violation of multiple rules within SENA regarding core armory style, primarily SENA A.3.D.1, A.3.E.1 and A.3.F.5. SENA A.3.D.1 says in part, "Depictions of charges that blur the distinction between charge groups will not be allowed." As submitted, the entire body of the calamarie is shown beneath the chevron, where one might normally expect a charge in base. An overall charge should be centered on the field, which this one is not. There is an entire chief's worth of space left at the top of the shield. This blurs the line between identifying the calamarie as a secondary charge or an overall charge. This could be remedied by simply blazoning the calamarie as overall in base but this solution creates another problem. SENA A.3.E.1 requires that "Charge groups must be arranged upon the field in a period fashion." We have no evidence that an overall charge in base as drawn is a period arrangement of overall charges. Finally, SENA A.3.F.5 tells us that "Designs must be able to be described in standard heraldic terms to be registerable." The precise way that the tentacles of the calamarie are arranged on the upper half of the shield cannot be explained in blazonry terms. Other arrangements of the tentacles obscure the identifiability of the underlying cats. Any one of these issues could have been remedied by a redraw, but the combination of all three of them makes the design as a whole unregisterable." No Conflicts |
