Mālik ibn Jinnī raised some questions regarding the beveilled precedent. Please refer to Kingdom commentary as it is rather long and I am unsure how to condense it.

5: Koðrán de Greystoke - New Name (NP) & New Device

Per bend sinister gules and vert, a stag's head caboshed argent

Submitter desires a masculine name.
Sound most important.

After speaking with the submitter he is willing to go with Orle's idea and so I am moving this forward.

Koðrán is a Celtic given name recorded in Old Norse and found in both the Viking Answer Lady's website http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/ONMensNames.shtml... and in Geir Bassi, p 12. It is marked as from the Landnamabok, so we can date the name to between the 9th and 11th centuries

de Greystok is an English locative byname found in Reaney & Wilson, sn Graystoke, with Thomas de Greystok dated to 1251. Per Watts, sn Greystoke, the place was called Creistoch in 1167.

Suggested by Orle and approved by submitter is:

Lind gives <Koðran> from Diplomaticum Islandicum in 1226, also Sturlunga saga, which would be 1200s. We get <Kodran> (with a d instead of edth) in the genitive in Íslenzkir Annálar 1189 and 1343. Lind says the name was "quite common in Iceland throughout the Middle Ages."

Oluf Rygh's Norwegian Farm Names (https://www.dokpro.uio.no/perl/navnegransking/rygh_n...?...) under the headword <Grostok> has a 1585 <Graastoch>. The first element is probably <gróf> f., "brook". The second element is <stokkr> m., "tree-trunk, timber-log". Here it probably indicates a timber bridge over a river.

Giving a plausible name of Kodran Graastoch

Blazon updated from commentary


6: Toyotomi Katsumoto - Resub Device

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in September of 2022, via Gleann Abhann.

Purpure, on a roundel sable fimbriated three paulownia flowers slipped and leaved argent

Item was returned due to no PTC.

This device conflicts with the device of Róise inghean Aibhne, Purpure, on a plate a domestic cat sejant sable. Under SENA A5C1 we have to consider the sable roundel fimbriated as a plate charged with a pellet (which is charged with a quaternary plant worth no difference). Under that interpretation, there is a DC for changing the type of tertiary from a cat to a roundel, but no other DCs are available.

Permission to conflict attached.


In Service to the Society and the Dream,

I remain,

THL Neave inghean ui Fhathaigh
