These two entries can be combined into one: Brickbat Herald
  1. This heraldic title was registered to Society for Creative Anachronism at some point and transferred to Marta as-tu Mika-Mysliwy in June of 2007 (via Laurel).
  2. This heraldic title was registered to Society for Creative Anachronism in December of 1991 (via Laurel).

The May 2006 LoAR has:

Vatavia, Barony of. Badge. Per bend sinister Or and azure, a harp and a dragonfly inverted counterchanged.

    Per precedent (q.v. George Anne, 05/2002), a dragonfly inverted is one step from period practice. This badge is for local bards.

The forms also have the note about this being a badge for local bards. Can this note get added to the OandA? entry for this badge?

Got it...


Under: http://oanda.sca.org/oanda_desc.cgi?p=PALE%3avert%3aplain%20line%3acharged%3a1 is:
  1. Michael von Fulda

    * The following device associated with this name was registered in May of 2007 (via Atlantia):
      Azure, on a pale argent between two lightning bolts palewise Or a gauntlet clenched sable.

This isn't a pale vert; it needs to be moved to be with the other pales argent. :-)

This one has no features on any of the descriptions. The pale has no tincture specified, so it matches any tincture. There are items with incomplete or inadequate indexing. This one shouldn't have been one.


Under: http://oanda.sca.org/oanda_desc.cgi?p=BIRD%3aazure%3aclose%20to%20dexter%3a1 is:
  1. Anthony fitz Robert

    * The following device associated with this name was registered in September of 1991 (via the West):
      Per fess Or and vert, on a pale counterchanged, between in chief two martlets, in base a martlet vert.

The marlets are vert; this needs to be moved. :-)

...and they were not marked with any tincture, so they would show up under any tincture, including vert.


The OandA? index has Hippocampus - see Monster - Sea - Horse but it should really be cross-referenced to Fish - Seahorse.

...it shoudl go both places, as Hippocampus is ambiguous


There's something wonky going on here:
  1. James Blackhawk

    * This name was registered in February of 1985 (via An Tir).
    * The following device associated with this name was registered in July of 1983 (via An Tir):
      Per bend argent and sable, two falcon's heads erased counterchanged.
    * This name, registered in July of 1983 (via An Tir), was changed to James the Blackhawk in September of 1983 (via An Tir).

...and it was changed back to James Blackhawk in February of 1985. Yeah, it's weird, but, well, it's weird.


This shows up under TORCH, but there's no torch in it -- a flamberge is a wavy-bladed sword:

  1. Hrothgar Rogan
    * The following device associated with this name was registered in November of 1991 (via the East):
      Per bend sinister engrailed argent and gules, a flamberge and a lion rampant counterchanged.

Fixed -- Herveus


This shows up under BEND:argent:plain line:charged:1, but as far as I can tell, the bend is Or.

  1. Fearghus mac Domhnaill
    * The following device associated with this name was registered in July of 2006 (via Atlantia):
      Azure, on a bend Or between two bears rampant argent three sheaves of arrows palewise sable.

Fixed -- Herveus


JML (12/30/08): The O&A shows:
  1. Egil Nöckl the Redhand

    * The following device associated with this name was registered in August of 2006 (via Atlantia):
      Or, a goat rampant between in fess two roundels gules.
    * The following device associated with this name was registered at some point and reblazoned in August of 2006 (via Atlantia):
      Or, a goat rampant between two roundels gules.
    * The following device associated with this name was registered in February of 1991 (via Atlantia):
      Or, a goat rampant between two roundels gules.
The middle bullet should go away - this was a reblazon of the Feb. 1991 registration, and as far as I can tell there is no difference in the blazons that would require errata to correct.

Fixed -- Herveus


Doing a search for my own name gets all my registrations, plus:

  1. Aryanhwy merch Catmael
    * An unknown record (type=`W') was found in the database.

Is this my heraldic will?

Yes. W indicates an heraldic will as called out on an LoAR.


Catteden, Canton of The following device associated with this name was registered in July of 2005 (via the Middle): Argent, a demi-cat sable issuant from a base azure, in dexter chief a laurel wreath vert.

This seems to be indexed under CAT:azure:1, not CAT:sable:1

oops. Fixed -- Herveus


Theo the Pilose (reg. 1/1976), Argent, a bicorporate dragon, tails in chief, azure, bellied vert, armed and langued gules.

is listed under Monster - Dragon - 1. Precedent indicates that a bi- or tri-corporate create is considered to count as two or three, not one:

"Emer ingen Meic Aedain. Name and badge. Argent, three foxes courant in annulo conjoined at the feet gules. This badge is returned for conflict with Richard Blackbury's device, Argent, a tricorporate fox gules, marked proper. [Vulpes vulpes]. A tricorporate fox has three bodies with a single head. We typically do not grant a CD for conjoined versus not conjoined, therefore there is only a single CD for the postures of the foxes (courant versus erect). [LoAR 09/2006]"

So shouldn't Theo's be under Monster - Dragon - 2?

Yep...moved - Herveus


  1. Custance nic Raibert Macconnachie
     * The following badge associated with this name was registered in December of 1990 (via Ansteorra):
     (Fieldless) A lily-of-the-valley [Muset de Bois] slipped and leaved proper.
     ? same person as Custance nic Ralbert Macconnachie
  1. Custance nic Ralbert Macconnachie
     * This name was registered in October of 1987 (via Ansteorra).
     The following device associated with this name was registered in October of 1987 (via Ansteorra):
     Purpure, on a pale Or three frets conjoined gules, all within a bordure Or.

These are the same person. The LoAR of October 1987 lists the Raibert spelling, not the Ralbert typo; error in the database, not on the LoAR.

Fixed -- Herveus


Godfrey of Inwood's device was registered in the April 1991 LoAR as Vert, a bat-winged mantyger sejant guardant within a bordure sable, which is what appears in Oanda. However, there is an errata note in June 1991 which states "The tincture of the mantyger and bordure are argent, not sable as stated in the LoAR." which requires an update in Oanda. Nicholas of Estleche

Herveus: fixed


JML 10/23/2009: The O&A has:

  1. Sylwein Tarianlas Ysginydd

    * This name was registered in October of 1998 (via Drachenwald).
    * The following device associated with this name was registered in February of 2007 (via Drachenwald):
      Argent, a triskelion of arms in armor brandishing swords vert, a bordure engrailed purpure.
    * The following device associated with this name was registered in March of 1999 (via Drachenwald):
      Argent, a trisklion of arms in armor brandishing swords vert, a bordure engrailed purpure.
      ? blazon typo for "triskelion"
    * The following badge associated with this name was registered at some point and corrected blazon in February of 2007 (via Drachenwald):
      Argent, a trisklion of arms in armor brandishing swords vert, a bordure engrailed purpure.

The last bullet can go away, it was the March 1999 device that was being reblazoned - this was clearly indicated in the errata letter and there don't appear to be any blazon differences to cause a mismatch. The sole reason for the reblazon was to fix the spelling of trisklion.

Herveus: fixed


JML 10/23/2009: For some reason the following is coded as having a lozenge; it doesn't. Even if passion nails are considered to be lozenges (and I don't think they are) there's more than one.

Oskar den Frivillige Ungkarlen

    * The following device associated with this name was registered in June of 1989 (via Meridies):
      Gules, a claw hammer argent, handled Or, within an orle of passion nails argent, a chief per fess azure and argent.

JML 10/23/2009: This has two lozenges, not one.

Aktay of Grey Niche

    * The following device associated with this name was registered in November of 2008 (via Gleann Abhann):

EdC? 02 Feb 2010: Items appearing in errata letters (in the LoAR) should be backdated to the LoAR they affect, right?

Morsulus: errata actions normally get the date of the errata letter. You can go to that month and find the action in either the LoAR or the Errata letter. Backdating the entry in the database makes that impossible.

Tibor of Rock Valley

    * The following device associated with this name was registered in August of 1987 (via the East) and changed/released in February of 1996 (via the East):
      Or, on a bend azure between two open books tergiant gules, three bezants, all within a bordure sable.
    * The following device associated with this name was registered in January of 1996 (via the East):
      Vert, a delf Or.

From the Feb 1996 Errata Letter:

Unto the members of the College of Arms does Shayk Da'ud ibn Auda, Laurel King of Arms, send heartfelt Greetings! Herein are corrections to various Letters of Acceptances and Returns and the Armorial and Ordinary.

January 1996 LoAR

[snip]

EAST

Tibor of Rock Valley. Device change. Vert, a delf Or. It was missed that this was a device change. His previously registered device, Or, on a bend azure between two open books tergiant gules, three bezants, all within a bordure sable, is released.


EdC? 30 Mar 2010: Looks like a wrong category for this entry:

Eileen Dover of Calafia

  The following device associated with this name was registered in December of 2001 (via Caid):
  Vert, two badgers combattant argent marked sable, in chief a roundel and a point pointed checky sable and argent.

I found this under "BASE:plain line" whereas all other points pointed seem to be under "BASE:complex line".

Morsulus: fixed


This entry from the 12/2008 LoAR (Atenveldt) doesn't appear to be in the OandA?:

Sara Blackthorne. Name change from Sara Rebecka Chadburn (see RETURNS for device).

    Her previous name, Sara Rebecka Chadburn, is retained as an alternate name.

Morsulus: fixed


Lachlan of Cromarty

   The following device associated with this name was registered in April of 2008 (via Caid):
   Per bend wavy Or and azure, a bend wavy counterchanged.

This is found with the plain line bends, not complex line bends as it should be.

Morsulus: fixed


The following all appear in BEND:multicolor:plain line:uncharged:1 --

  1. Mieszko of Aire Faucon

    * The following device associated with this name was registered in November of 2000 (via Atlantia):
      Azure, a bend vair palewise between two spear points Or.

  1. Astrith of Swansvale

    * The following device associated with this name was registered in July of 1982 (via the West):
      Per bend Or and vert, a bend vairy of one trait bendwise sinister Or and vert, in sinister chief a borage flower azure, slipped and leaved vert.

  1. Eglentyne Merryweather

    * The following device associated with this name was registered in August of 1998 (via An Tir):
      Vert, a bend vair.

These bends are all fur, not multicolored (IOW BEND:fur:plain line:uncharged:1)

Morsulus: Vair (and vairy), being evenly divided of two tinctures, get tagged as either "vair" or "multicolor neutral". "fur" I reserve for unnamed ermine variants. Nothing to fix here...
