ANSTEORRAN GAZETTE Iloi 2006-09 No ANSTEORRAN GAZETTE ILoI 2006-09 No. 9, Vol. 2006 AS XLI, September 2006 Letter from Star Principal Herald ontributions Greetings good heralds all! ble from the Asterisk Herald respect the legal rights of our The fall tourney season is in full swing with the beginning of this month at Gothic and as her- alds we have a great opportunity to show our many talents. If you do list heraldry, make yourself a green baldric with our beloved crossed trumpets on them to identify yourself. If you are the herald in charge at an event, remember to thank your list heralds appropriately. Small tokens go a long way in making volunteers feel appreciated. If nothing else, make sure that they get watered, a lot. If you are in a warranted office at any level, think of sponsoring some banner contests at events or teaching a class on heraldic basics for the children at the event. Many children’s activities coordinators are in need of people to come out and teach the kids something for an hour or so. Construction paper and glue sticks and some pre-cut ordinaries are all you need to teach the basics of tinctures and that color on color, metal on metal rule. Banner contests and heraldic display contests also work well to promote heraldry in the kingdom. I hope to see many of you this fall as I travel around the Kingdom with my family.

  • A Guide to Blazonry
    A GUIDE TO BLAZONRY Kevin Greaves Illustrated by Steve Cowan and Gordon Macpherson Published by The Royal Heraldry Society of Canada Copyright Page © 2014 The Royal Heraldry Society of Canada and K.W. Greaves A GUIDE TO BLAZONRY PREFACE Blazon is the language of heraldry. Its intent is to provide a description in words of a coat of arms so that an experienced heraldic artist can produce an accurate picture of the arms. Although it may be archaic in form, it can describe an achievement much more precisely than can ordinary language. The objective of the heraldic blazon is to be clear and concise. While there may be more than one set of words available to create a proper blazon, an heraldic artist should be able to draw the achievement from the words of the blazon and the guidance of the artist should be the primary intent in all cases. While a concise, neatly worded blazon can be a source of satisfaction, clever wording should never replace clarity of meaning. This handbook is intended to provide the heraldic enthusiast with a single correct way to blazon a given achievement, not two or three alternatives, no matter how correct. It is not intended as a guide to heraldic design. Also, it is assumed that the student has done the necessary homework on shields, ordinaries, charges, etc, and that what is required here is a guide to describing them in proper form and sequence. Kevin Greaves November, 2014 A GUIDE TO BLAZONRY CONTENTS CHAPTER TITLE PAGE 1 The Shield, Sequence of Blazoning 1 2 The Complex Field 6 3 Blazoning Charges on the Field 10 4 Counterchanging 15 5 Multi-Family Shields 17 6 The Crest and its Associated Features 20 7 Supporters, Compartment and Motto 24 8 Badges and Flags 27 CHAPTER 1 THE SHIELD SEQUENCE OF BLAZONING Since the shield is the most important and, in most cases, the most complex part of an achievement of arms, we will start off by describing the sequence in which its various components are normally described in a blazon.

  • Atlantian Internal Letter of Acceptances and Returns for July 2007
    27 July, 2007 Unto the populace of Atlantia, greetings from Alisoun MacCoul of Elphane, Golden Dolphin Herald! Herein you will find the results of the deliberations of the College of Heralds of Atlantia during the month of July, 2007. ACCEPTANCES The following submissions have been accepted and included on a Letter of Intent to the College of Arms from Atlantia dated 26 July, 2007: Aileua de Lissi. Name and device. Vert, a fleur-de-lys and on a chief argent, three butterflies sable. Alysandir de Elgin. Name (see RETURNS for device). The name was submitted as Alysandir of Elgin. Black ( Surnames of Scotland , s. n. Elgin ) specifically documents Elgin as a period surname of “local origin from the town of the same name”, citing Alexander de Elgyn and Augustine de Elgin from 1211, Richard de Elgyn from 1317 and William de Elgyn from 1328. As the submitter allowed all changes to the name, we modified the preposition in the byname to the documented form to meet his request for authenticity for thirteenth century Scotland. Bors Mac Gregour of Loch Turretan. Device. Or, on a pellet a boar’s head erased argent. Brian Cullen of Ormond. Name and device. Or, a chevron embattled vert between three cups gules.

  • The Heraldry of Queens' College Cambridge
    The Heraldry of Queens’ College, Cambridge By David Broomfield BA (Hons) Introduction The representations of the coat of arms of Queens’ College are many and varied. On the face of it they should be easy to agree. They were granted in 1575 by Robert Cooke, Clarenceux King of Arms, during his heraldic Visitation to Cambridge. According to Cooke Queen Margaret granted “unto the saide President and fellowes and their successors her armes to be used in the saide colledge as they stand depicted in this margent.” He added to Margaret’s paternal arms a border of green to differentiate those of the College from those of her family. However, the painting of the arms in the grant is in error and many of these mistakes find their way into the arms as shown in the College. The main problem in agreeing a definitive version of the College’s arms is that of reconciling different heraldic traditions. In England it is a principle that the “metals”, gold and silver, take precedence over the “colours”, blue, black, red, green and purple. This is best illustrated in the arms of Grey where the silver bar appears at the top of the shield and is then followed by blue and so forth. This is at variance with some Continental practice, for example the arms of Hungary have at the top a red band followed by silver. Also in most English arms six “bars” usually suffice but for Hungary the four silver bars are said to represent the four main rivers of Hungary. The curious agglomeration of quarterings in Margaret’s arms can be traced back to the first House of Anjou.
