Unless noted, we checked all armory against the 8th edition Ordinary and we found no conflicts. No conflicts found on names except as noted. 1. Ariane Lancaster (Namron) New name. New device. Per pale sable and purpure, a sun argent. Maridonna Benvenuti [Name]- Withycombe says of Ariadne: "…The name was borne by an obscure Phrygian martyr, and in the forms 'Arianna' and 'Ariane' has been used in Italy and France respectively. It has been used occasionally in England of late years, probably with no reference to the saint." I can't find any documentation in my sources that 'Ariane' was used as an English name in period.
