Rosa is an Italian form of the given name Rose dating to 1366 (https://dmnes.org/name/Rose).
von - SENA, Appendix A, Locatives based on place names use the forms von X.
Metten - Metten is the modern name of a place in which a Benedictine Abbey was founded in the 8th century. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metten) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metten_Abbey). Metten also appears as an unmarked surname in gray-period Germany in the FamilySearch Historical Records. As FamilySearch frequently omits prepositions, these surnames may be references to the city of Metten: Lambert Metten; Male; Marriage; 29 Nov 1636; Elten, Rees, Rheinprovinz, Preußen, Deutschland; Batch: M97278-1 (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JH4P-2HD) Steuen Metten; Male; Christening; 7 Jun 1637; Elten, Rees, Rhein, Preußen, Deutschland; Batch: J97278-1 (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N65W-Q6X) Margarita Metten; Female; Dec 1639; Elten, Rees, Rhein, Preußen, Deutschland; Batch: K97278-1 (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N654-JVD) M, J and K are valid batches per the January 2014 Cover Letter (https://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2014/01/14-01cl.html). Ælfyn æt þæm geate provided additional support for Metten from Reitzenstein's Lexikon bayerischer Ortsnamen (which is an Appendix H source). Under Metten dated forms include Mettemum in 850, Metemum in 886 (copy from 1305), and Meten in 1301. The first two show single and double t supporting a double -t based on the single -t Meten from 1301. Additional support for the double t is found under Mettenheim which dates Mettenheim and Mettenham to 1527, with Mettemheim in the 12th C.
The submitter wants a "Swiss/German/Italian" name. Appendix C shows High German as compatible with Italian. Appendix A documents that double given name and marked locative as patterns that do not need further documentation, along with the use of the preposition von with German town names.

des Prés is a byname dated 1499, found in Domhnall na Moicheirghe, "Names from Lallaing 1384 - 1600" (https://heraldry.sca.org/names/lallaing/lallaing_names_bynames.html). The submitter prefers to drop the accent, which appear relatively late in French.
Note: There was some concern at kingdom commentary whether a pattern of flower names would necessarily allow the borrowed Greek Crysanthemum, when the common English term in the period was 'marigold' or 'corne marigold.' We decided this was a question that was better suited for the College of Arms to decide on.

Quarterly argent and sable engrailed on the per fess line, in sinister chief a crow rising Or and in sinister base three gouttes de sang one and two, a bordure counter-compony gules and Or

Lokki is an Old Norse masculine given name from Peterson's Nordiskt runnamnslexikon http://www.isof.se/download/18.6dffb94c149794... : NR s.n. Lokki. Lokki is also found at the Viking Answer Lady Website (https://www.vikinganswerlady.com/ONMensNames.shtml#l). "Found in Old Danish as Lokki and in Old Swedish as the by-name Lokke. Derived from OW.Norse lokkr "curl, lock of hair." Runic examples include the nominative forms lki, [luki]." Her reference is to NR, s.n. Lokki.
'balli' is found in Geirr Bassi, p. 19 as a nickname, meaning 'strong, brave'

18: Lokki balli bestill - New Badge (KLoI)
OSCAR is unable to find the name, either registered or submitted.
Vert, a snaptun stone face between three spiders, one and two, and a bordure Or
This submission is to be associated with Lokki balli bestill
Central charge represents the snaptun stone.
https://oscar.sca.org/s.php?u=12037 [ www.etsy.com ]
https://www.worldhistory.org/image/7640/the-snaptun-stone/
During kingdom commentary, concerns were raised that this device is presumptive of the Norse god Loki whose name is similar to the name submitted with this badge, Lokki. While precent states, "For names that are well documented as period human names, that also happen to be the names of gods, one armorial allusion to the god will no longer be considered excessive" (Aug 1992), there's reason to think this device has more than one allusion to the god Loki.
First, the Snaptun stone face is generally believed to represent the god Lokki.
Eldar Heide. "Loki, the Vätte, and the Ash Lad: A Study Combining Old Scandinavian and Late Material". Viking and Medieval Scandinavia 7 (2011). pp. 63-106. https://oscar.sca.org/s.php?u=49644 [ www.academia.edu ]
"Both the vätte Loki under the fireplace and his `echo' in the mythological Loki can probably be seen on the Viking-Age hearth stone from Snaptun, Denmark, shown in Figure 1, from a smithy. The bellows would blow the air into the hearth through the hole below the face on the stone, which would shield the bellows from the heat. The face has been identified with Loki in a myth in Skáldskaparmál 44: Loki has cut the hair off Þórr's wife, Sif, and is forced to replace it with golden hair from the dwarfs. They make him the hair, and the ship Skíðblaðnir and the spear Gungnir, with magical properties. Then Loki makes a bet, putting his head at stake, with the dwarf Brokkr, that Brokkr's brother Sindri will not be able to make three equally good objects. Sindri begins to make the objects, instructing Brokkr to pull the bellows without stopping because that would ruin the objects. Loki turns into a fly who bites Brokkr, but Brokkr keeps pulling except for during one second while the last object is being made, which is the hammer Mjo3llnir. The other objects are the gold boar Gullinbursti and the gold ring Draupnir. The gods declare that the hammer is the best object (although its handle is a bit short due to the interruption in blowing), and Loki has lost the bet. Brokkr tries to cut off his head, but Loki claims that he only lost his head and not his neck. Brokkr instead stitches up Loki's mouth. In this myth, Loki is associated with stitched-up lips, smithing, and blowing into the hearth with the help of bellows -- the elements of the Snaptun stone. Therefore, Gísli Gestsson (1961) suggests that the Snaptun face depicts Loki, which seems plausible because the lips clearly are stitched up -- as clearly as possible on a 2.5 cm wide mouth carved in stone. Glob (1959, 73) understood the lips as stitched before anyone mentioned Loki. In addition, `stitched-up lips combined with hearth bellows blowing' is an extremely specific motif. However, in this myth, Loki does not pull the bellows or blow into the hearth, as the face on the Snaptun stone does. On the contrary, Loki tries to stop the blowing, and the stitched-up mouth on the stone would not have been able to blow at all. Depicting Loki on a hearth stone is only natural as a reference to the Loki who is a variant of Vätten living under the fireplace, blowing on the ashes to make them flare up again, and manipulating the fire in other ways (§ 3.1, cf. § 4.1). Therefore, the Snaptun stone seems to anchor those sides of Loki in the Viking Age. The stitched-up lips, on the other hand, only match the mythological Loki's encounter with Brokkr. Accordingly, the Snaptun stone seems to refer simultaneously to the mythological Loki and the vätte Loki."
Second, spiders have often been associated with Loki.
Anna Birgitta Rooth's Loki in Scandinavian Mythology (Skrifter Utgivna av Kungl. Humanistika Vitenskapssamfundet i Lund 61: CWK Gleerups Förlag. 1961) first put forth the theory that Loki was related to spiders based on later Scandinavian variants of the name (such as Faroese Lokki, Danish Lokkemand, Norwegian Loke and Lokke, Swedish Luki and Luku) point to an origin in the Germanic root *luk-, which denoted things to do with loops (like knots, hooks, closed-off rooms, and locks). This corresponds with usages such as the Swedish lockanät and Faroese lokkanet ("cobweb", literally "Lokke's web") and Faroese lokki, grindalokki, grindalokkur, "daddy-long-legs" referring both to crane flies and harvestmen, modern Swedish lockespindlar ("Locke-spiders"). Modern paganism has run wild with this thought, since other trickster gods are associated with spiders in other cultures.
In addition, the color scheme of green and gold is often associated with the Marvel comics/movies representation of Loki, who is often depicted wearing green and gold.

Submitter would prefer the given name without the -id at the end (Seafra), if it can be documented.
Concenainn is a byname found in the Oxford Dictionary of Family Names p 114 dated to 1368 under the header Concannon. Submitter would prefer the spelling Quincannon if we can document it.
Note: Submitter was offered the bynames "Quin Canon" and decided to stay with "Concenainn"

(NP) & New Device (KLoI)
Azure, on a hexagon argent a folding fan pierced azure
Submitter desires a masculine name.
No holding name.
Spelling (wants as close to Thorsten as possible. Less committed to byname.) most important.
Thorsten is a Danish given name dated to 1401 in Diplomatarium Danicum (https://diplomatarium.dk/dokument/14011111003).
Steinheimer is a German toponymic byname dated 1415 found in Brechenmcher Etymologiches Worterbuch der Deutschen Familiennamen K-Z s.v. Steinhammer p.666
Scandinavian and German can be combined per Appendix C.
Submitter wants Thorsteinn, but will accept Thorsten.
Based on the Satake family kamon, mentioned on O-umajirushi page 164. Based on the accompanying text, it seems clear that the fan is supposed to be pierced, not charged with a roundel.
Per O-umajirushi:
"This white nobori features a mon of a folding fan with black tines and red paper with a white disc. This is an example of a mon in a three-color design. The story behind it is that at the Battle of Yashima, the Taira carried such a fan as a sacred talisman and dared the Genji to shoot at it. Nasu Munetaka took the challenge and hit it in one shot, striking a severe blow to the enemy morale. The Satake family is descended from him, and thus use this mon to recall their ancestor's deed.[24, p. 18]"

Cœur-de-lion: Uckelman, Sara L. 2013. Names in the 1292 census of Paris. Pg. 141 Online
(http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/french/1292paris.pdf)
Cuer-de-Lion (1) desc. from OFr cœur-de-lion `[with the] heart of a lion'. The article supports "Cuer-de-Lion" but not the client's chosen spelling. However, precedent allows the registration of this spelling. In the decision letter of March 2015 in the registration of the name for "Savaric Cœur-de-lion" via An Tir, Laurel said: "Commenters questioned if the byname Cœur-de-lion is too unique to be registered. Precedent states:
Commenters questioned whether this presumes on Richard the Lionheart. This byname is not unique to the king; it is found in 1292 Paris as well as in Bardsley (s.n. Quodling, citing multiple people with such a byname). As the byname is not unique, the use of only that element cannot be presumptuous of any individual. As such, it can be registered. [Beatrice von Staufen, Household name Lance du Coeur de Lyon, November 2011, A-Atlantia]
Although we would certainly protect Richard the Lionheart, we only protect him in names by which he is or has been known. As he was never known as Savaric, and we allow the use of forms of the byname, Cœur-de-lion, we are able to register this name."
