  • Heraldic Terms
    HERALDIC TERMS The following terms, and their definitions, are used in heraldry. Some terms and practices were used in period real-world heraldry only. Some terms and practices are used in modern real-world heraldry only. Other terms and practices are used in SCA heraldry only. Most are used in both real-world and SCA heraldry. All are presented here as an aid to heraldic research and education. A LA CUISSE, A LA QUISE - at the thigh ABAISED, ABAISSÉ, ABASED - a charge or element depicted lower than its normal position ABATEMENTS - marks of disgrace placed on the shield of an offender of the law. There are extreme few records of such being employed, and then only noted in rolls. (As who would display their device if it had an abatement on it?) ABISME - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ABOUTÉ - end to end ABOVE - an ambiguous term which should be avoided in blazon. Generally, two charges one of which is above the other on the field can be blazoned better as "in pale an X and a Y" or "an A and in chief a B". See atop, ensigned. ABYSS - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ACCOLLÉ - (1) two shields side-by-side, sometimes united by their bottom tips overlapping or being connected to each other by their sides; (2) an animal with a crown, collar or other item around its neck; (3) keys, weapons or other implements placed saltirewise behind the shield in a heraldic display.

All Rights Reserved www.houseofnames.com 888-468-7686 Ancient History The history of the name Roetman brings us to Thuringia, a modern state located between Hessen and Lower Saxony in the west and Saxony in the east. Originally a Kingdom of the Germanic tribe of the Hermunderen, the land was conquered by the Franks and the Saxons in 531. A.D. In 634, King Dagobert appointed Radulf duke of the Thuringians, and the land became virtually independent under his rule. However, Charles Martel abolished the position of duke and brought Thuringia under the rule of Franconian counts, and divided up the territory. The Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne founded the Thuringian Mark (border region) in 804 as a defensive bulwark against the power of the Slavic peoples. In the Middle Ages the name Roetman has been traced back to Thuringia, where the family was known for its contributions to the prosperity and culture of the emerging feudal society. The family branched into numerous houses, many of which acquired estates and manors throughout the surrounding regions. Spelling Variations Throughout the development and evolution of a name's history, variations in spelling and pronunciation frequently occur.

  • Additional Historic Information the Doolittle Raid (Hornet CV-8) Compiled and Written by Museum Historian Bob Fish
    USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum Additional Historic Information The Doolittle Raid (Hornet CV-8) Compiled and Written by Museum Historian Bob Fish AMERICA STRIKES BACK The Doolittle Raid of April 18, 1942 was the first U.S. air raid to strike the Japanese home islands during WWII. The mission is notable in that it was the only operation in which U.S. Army Air Forces bombers were launched from an aircraft carrier into combat. The raid demonstrated how vulnerable the Japanese home islands were to air attack just four months after their surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. While the damage inflicted was slight, the raid significantly boosted American morale while setting in motion a chain of Japanese military events that were disastrous for their long-term war effort. Planning & Preparation Immediately after the Pearl Harbor attack, President Roosevelt tasked senior U.S. military commanders with finding a suitable response to assuage the public outrage. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a difficult assignment. The Army Air Forces had no bases in Asia close enough to allow their bombers to attack Japan. At the same time, the Navy had no airplanes with the range and munitions capacity to do meaningful damage without risking the few ships left in the Pacific Fleet. In early January of 1942, Captain Francis Low1, a submariner on CNO Admiral Ernest King’s staff, visited Norfolk, VA to review the Navy’s newest aircraft carrier, USS Hornet CV-8. During this visit, he realized that Army medium-range bombers might be successfully launched from an aircraft carrier.

  • Achievements of Arms: a Historical and SCA Perspective
    Achievements of Arms: A Historical and SCA Perspective Herr Andreas von Meißen, OCK 1 Nautilus Pursuivant Emeritus, Barony of Elfsea Kingdom of Ansteorra I. Introduction CHIEVEMENTS of Arms are the pinnacle of heraldic display, both historically and in the Society. Beginning Aas a way of showing a person’s Arms and tournament crest at the same time, they evolved into an elaborate and beautiful art form augmenting the display of Arms. As with all historical practices of Arms, customs of Achievements varied by jurisdiction and heraldic tradition, but as with the practice of Armoury in general, sufficient commonalities exist that a general picture readily emerges. Additionally, Achievements are an underappreciated and woefully underused aspect of Society heraldry. Although the unregulated at the Laurel level, most individual kingdoms are known to have sumptuary laws or guidelines governing the use and display of some or all of their components. Just under three-quarters of the kingdoms in the SCA have codified rules, customs, or traditions governing all or part of the components of Achievements of Arms. These rules are generally intended to serve as heraldic recognition and acknowledgement of advancement in the SCA (over and above the badges and regalia already conferred by such advancement), but vary widely by kingdom in both scope and level of detail. This article will outline the historical development of Achievements, noting some of the regional differences in customs, and the various customs and traditions on the various Kingdoms’ regulations will be presented and discussed in a historical context. II. Achievements of Arms First, though, we will cover the most basic question: What are Achievements of Arms? Rodeny Dennys, former Somerset Herald of Arms in Ordinary and former Arundel Herald of Arms Extraordinary, gives the following definition in The Heraldic Imagination [1]: “Achievement: The full armorial honors of armiger, e.g.
