Ansteorran College of Heralds ANSTEORRAN COLLEGE OF HERALDS Collated Commentary on IloI 0998 Unto the Ansteorran College of Heralds does Perronnelle Charrette de La Tour du Pin, Retiarius Pursuivant, make most courteous greetings. For information on commentary submission formats or to receive a copy of the collated commentary, you can contact me at: Charlene Charette 15910 Valverde Drive, Houston, TX 77083 281/277-4055 (11am-10pm) [email protected] Commenters for this issue: Breichiol map Lludd – Elfsea Gawain of Miskbridge – Green Anchor Herald Steppes – Attending and assisting with the commentary were: Da’ud ibn Auda (al-Jamal) and Borek Vitalievich Volkov (Eclipse). [Comments labeled as "I" are from Da’ud.] Bryn Gwlad – Commenters this month were Mari Elspeth nic Bryan, Diarmuid mac Ruis, Daniel de Lincoln, Magdalena da Cadamosto, Pegasus Devona, and Gwenllian ferch Maredudd. Items for which we had no comments and found no conflicts have been omitted. Conflicts were checked against the 7th edition Ordinary. References used include O Corrain & Maguire’s Gaelic Personal Names; Black’s The Surnames of Scotland; Woulfe’s Irish Names and Surnames; Bardsley’s A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames; MacLysaght’s Surnames of Ireland; De Felice’s Dizionario dei Nomi Italiani; Bahlow’s Deutsches Namenlexicon (English trans); A Pictorial Dictionary of Heraldry as Used in the SCA; and various Laurel precedents. Talan Gwynek – Fause Lozenge Falcon's Keep (Midrealm) – Commenters: Lady Aryanhwy Prytydes merch Catmael Caermyrdin and Odd Beeslayer Oddson (Border Downs deputy pursuivant). I had hope to research a few of the items a little more thoroughly, but time constraints caused by school and work prevented me from doing so. 1. Aislynn Blackhart (Wastelands) New Name; New Device Proposed Blazon: Argent, a heart sable, on a chief doubly-enarched gules a sea axe fesswise reversed argent. Gawain [Name] "I" and "y" are not so freely interchangeable in Irish as they are in English. This variant needs to be documented. [Device] The sword is not a "sea axe". Furthermore, it's conventionally drawn with the bite out of the back of the sword rather than out of the back of the point as emblazoned here. Steppes [Device] The charge on the chief is a seax, not a "sea axe". The latter would have a fish tail, scales, and probably smell of caviar. Bryn Gwlad [Name] Aislinn is listed in O Corrain & Maguire as cited in the documentation and also on p. 216 of Woulfe. However, both sources list it as the Gaelic spelling, and so it cannot be used with an English surname. The English variants given in O Corrain & Maguire are Elsha, Alice, and Esther. In addition, there is no support for the "i" to "y" switch in Gaelic as there would be in English. Bardsley, p. 106, lists Blackcow and Blacklamb, but suggests that they are not derived from black animals. Blacklamb, for example, he says means, "the naughty, the bad." [Device] The charge on the chief is a seax, and it is inverted and reversed. No conflicts found. Talan Gwynek [Name] From a recent Academy of S. Gabriel Final Report: Unfortunately, we have found no evidence for Aislinn, in any spelling, as a feminine Irish name in period. It was a fairly common name in Ireland in the 19th century [1], but we have no sources that say when the name was first used, or whether it was used at all before 1600. The name Aislinge or Aislingthe is a masculine name in early Irish literature, and so would not be appropriate as a woman's name [1,2]. Reference [1] is Ó Corráin & Maguire, and [2] is O’Brien’s Corpus Genealogiarum Hiberniae. (Note that her apparent belief that Aislynn is an Irish spelling is certainly incorrect, since Irish doesn’t use the y.) Even if the name was used, Aislynn is probably not possible as an English spelling, since it represents the wrong pronunciation. A late-period phonetic Englishing might have been Ashlin(n), Ashlyn(n), or the like, had the name been in use. There is, however, a very similar name that was in use in medieval England: Acelina, which can be found in my collection from Reaney & Wilson. Citations include Acelina 1195, Ascelina 1195, 1205, 1207, 1210, 1214, 1228, and Asselyna c.1230. The Jönsjö citation doesn’t support Blackhart: it, like others of the same type, names a domestic or barnyard animal. Moreover, there are enough examples to make it very unlikely that this pattern is coincidental, so the generalization to <color> + <animal> is unjustified. A better case could be made as follows. Jönsjö (58) has the byname Blaksoule 1332 ‘black soul’. This was a fairly productive type, since he also has Godsoule 1218-19, Godesaule 1309, etc. ‘good soul’ (101) and Modysowel 1308, Modisaule 1314, etc. ‘brave or proud soul’ (132). Reaney & Wilson s.n. Goodhart have John Godhierte 1221 and John Goudhert 1327 ‘good heart’. Bardsley s.n. Goodhart adds a pair of undated but medieval examples of Godherte. An early 14th c. Blakherte ‘black heart’ is certainly conceivable, matching Godherte much as Blaksoule matches Godesaule, and I see no real bar to such a byname a century earlier. (Note that this would also suit her arms better.) In short, the name as submitted is thoroughly inauthentic, but Asselyna Blakherte would be quite reasonable as a 13th c. English feminine name. The charge on the chief is a seax reversed and inverted. (And the pronunciation is closer to that of sax than to that of sea axe!) Falcon's Keep [Name] Unfortunately, there is no evidence that <Aislinn> or any of its variants were used before 1600. More information on <Aislinn> can be found here: http://www.itd.umich.edu/~ximenez/s.gabriel/ mail/reports/1103.html. However, <Aislinn> with an <i> has been registered as recently as July of last year, so it is probably regisertable. The most recent registration of <Aislynn> with a <y> is 12-92. [Device] With the device, I did not find any conflicts on the on-line OandA. Looks good, but perhaps a little modern. 2. Isobel Grace Hadleigh (Bjornsborg) New Device; Name Registered 04/98 Proposed Blazon: Azure, on a bend invected argent, a salamander queue-forche tergiant embowed counter-ermine enflamed proper. Breichiol map Lludd [Device] Nice device except for the queue-forche. Personally, I do not believe a salamander queue-forche is in a period style. Gawain [Device] This seems to be something in between the heraldic monster and the natural amphibian. 'Twere best if it were one or the other. Steppes [Device] The blazon says that the flames are "proper". Are they really? Flames "proper" have alternating tongues of red and yellow. The salamander is not simply "embowed"; if we are going to be that specific about its posture (and I’m not certain that we really need to), it is embowed counter-embowed. Blazon fu: Azure, on a bend invected argent a salamander tergiant queue-forchy counter- ermine enflamed [proper?]. Talan Gwynek [Device] We have generally preferred the English spelling: queue-forchy. This is a minor feature, so it would normally follow the posture, and the embowing is an artistic detail that really needn’t be mentioned: Azure, on a bend invected argent a salamander tergiant queue-forchy counter- ermine enflamed proper. Falcon's Keep [Device] This bend is awfully wide. That’s nice! But I don’t think I could reproduce it from just the blazon. 3. James Parker (Wastelands) New Name; New Device Proposed Blazon: Per bend sinister argent and ermine, a bend sinister gules between a caravel proper and a sealion Or. Asterisk note: The caravel is solid brown. Gawain [Device] I'm a little dubious about parting a field of argent and ermine, but since the halves are separated by the bend sinister, it's probably okay. HOWEVER, the sea-lion is metal on metal by our rules, and the caravel is apparently drawn with brown sails, which doesn't sound really proper to me. Of course if it were drawn with white or yellowish sails, it couldn't be placed on the argent field. Steppes [Name] James Parker is, of course, the author of one of the better heraldic dictionaries, A Glossary of Terms Used in Heraldry. [Device] Umm, is the caravel all brown, including the sails? We’re not at all sure that such can be done. Generally, sails are argent, but they would disappear against the argent field here. Still, something like a caravel proper sailed azure would work just fine. We just don’t believe it can reasonably be a caravel proper sailed brown. The sealion is metal on metal (Or on ermine). RfS VIII.2. specifically notes that: "Ermined furs or field treatments on a background of one of these tinctures are treated as colors for contrast in the Society. The metals are argent and Or (white or silver, and yellow or gold). Ermined furs or field treatments on a background of one of those tinctures are treated as metals for contrast in the Society." (If the sails of the caravel really are brown, perhaps he could be convinced to change them to an heraldic tincture while he’s changing the tincture of the sealion.) Bryn Gwlad [Name] Bardsley, p. 584, dates this spelling of Parker to 1570. [Device] The sea lion is metal on metal so the device must be returned. The bend needs to be much wider, and the caravel’s sails have to be of an heraldic tincture rather than brown. Talan Gwynek [Name] Bardsley s.n. Parker notes Hugh Parker 1570. [Device] Somehow I don’t think that the James Parker of the Glossary of Terms Used in Heraldry would be greatly impressed by this coat! I doubt that a caravel proper is really solid brown: this seems an unlikely tincture for the sails.

  • FLAG of BOTSWANA - a BRIEF HISTORY Where in the World
    Part of the “History of National Flags” Series from Flagmakers FLAG OF BOTSWANA - A BRIEF HISTORY Where In The World Trivia You must be granted permission from the government to fly the flag. Technical Specification Adopted: 30th September 1966 Proportion: 2:3 Design: A light blue field with horizontal black stripe with white border. Colours: PMS – Blue: 284C Brief History On 31st of March 1885, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland established the Bechuanaland Protectorate when Boer freebooters threatened the people of Botswana. Rather than have a specific colonial flag the Union Jack of Great Britain and Ireland was flown. The Protectorate lasted until 1966 when Botswana became the independent country of the Republic of Botswana and gained its own flag. The flag is a blue field with horizontal black stripe with a white border. This design was specifically chosen to contrast with the flag of South African flag as the country was under apartheid and symbolises harmony and peace between black and European people. The Union Jack of Great Britain and Ireland The Flag of the Republic of Botswana (1885 to 1966) (1966 to Present Day) Coat of Arms of Botswana The Coat of Arms of Botswana were adopted in 1966 and features a shield with three cogwheels representing industry at the top, three waves representing water in the centre and a red bulls head representing cattle herding. At the sides of the shield are zebras; the right-hand zebra holds sorghum and the left hand zebra holds ivory. Underneath is the motto PULA that means ‘rain.’ The Standard of the President of Botswana The Standard of the President of Botswana takes the light blue field from the national flag with a white black-bordered circle with the Coat of Arms of Botswana in the centre.

  • Hark the Heraldry Angels Sing
    The UK Linguistics Olympiad 2018 Round 2 Problem 1 Hark the Heraldry Angels Sing Heraldry is the study of rank and heraldic arms, and there is a part which looks particularly at the way that coats-of-arms and shields are put together. The language for describing arms is known as blazon and derives many of its terms from French. The aim of blazon is to describe heraldic arms unambiguously and as concisely as possible. On the next page are some blazon descriptions that correspond to the shields (escutcheons) A-L. However, the descriptions and the shields are not in the same order. 1. Quarterly 1 & 4 checky vert and argent 2 & 3 argent three gouttes gules two one 2. Azure a bend sinister argent in dexter chief four roundels sable 3. Per pale azure and gules on a chevron sable four roses argent a chief or 4. Per fess checky or and sable and azure overall a roundel counterchanged a bordure gules 5.

  • 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.

  • Sanctuary Lost: the Air War for ―Portuguese‖ Guinea, 1963-1974
    Sanctuary Lost: The Air War for ―Portuguese‖ Guinea, 1963-1974 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Martin Hurley, MA Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Professor John F. Guilmartin, Jr., Advisor Professor Alan Beyerchen Professor Ousman Kobo Copyright by Matthew Martin Hurley 2009 i Abstract From 1963 to 1974, Portugal and the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (Partido Africano da Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde, or PAIGC) waged an increasingly intense war for the independence of ―Portuguese‖ Guinea, then a colony but today the Republic of Guinea-Bissau. For most of this conflict Portugal enjoyed virtually unchallenged air supremacy and increasingly based its strategy on this advantage. The Portuguese Air Force (Força Aérea Portuguesa, abbreviated FAP) consequently played a central role in the war for Guinea, at times threatening the PAIGC with military defeat. Portugal‘s reliance on air power compelled the insurgents to search for an effective counter-measure, and by 1973 they succeeded with their acquisition and employment of the Strela-2 shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile, altering the course of the war and the future of Portugal itself in the process. To date, however, no detailed study of this seminal episode in air power history has been conducted. In an international climate plagued by insurgency, terrorism, and the proliferation of sophisticated weapons, the hard lessons learned by Portugal offer enduring insight to historians and current air power practitioners alike.

  • The Evolution of the U.S. National Air Insignia: 1861–Present
    Evolution of the U.S. National Air Insignia 57 The Evolution of the U.S. National Air Insignia: 1861–Present John H. Gámez Introduction The dream of flight is as old as civilization itself. Sumeria and Egypt had mythologies replete with flying gods. The Old Testament is filled with verses that some have interpreted as non-technical descriptions of ancient aircraft. Greek mythology tells of Daedalus and his son Icarus who fashioned wings of wood, wax, and feathers. And the Judeo-Christian culture conceived of an- gels as semi-divine humans with wings of birds. On the practical side, the Chinese invented the rocket centuries ago. Those early rockets could not carry a man—or, for that matter, an effective warhead—their main use was in frightening an enemy. The concept of human flight originated with Leonardo da Vinci. Not only a great artist, he was a skilled engineer with a great imagi- nation who designed weapons of war, a pair of man-powered wings, and the first crude helicopter. On 15 October 1783 the brothers Montgolfier sent Jean François Pilatre de Rozier aloft in a balloon. As the first human to break the bonds of Earth, he became the world’s first aeronaut. Ballooning itself was known as aerostation.1 That first manned balloon (or aerostat) carried the first national air markings (Plate 1). Contemporary paintings, drawings, and models depicted the bal- loon in blue and gold, the colors of the French royal arms. The balloon was not only emblazoned with several fleurs-de-lis, but it also bore at least four sun badges, the emblem of Louis XIV.
