Corwyn ap Lear - New Name & New Device
Vert, on flaunches wavy Or four swans respectant naiant sable.
Consulting Herald: Ragnar Leifsson, Caer Gelynniog Cornet
This is being returned as the name construction cannot be supported by documentation. While instances of “Corwyn” and of “Lear” can be found in 16th century English as surnames and would be useable as a surname-turned-personal –name + surname, it would have to be without “ap”, which the submitter does not wish to forego.
As the name cannot be passed on to Laurel for registration, neither can the device. But besides that, between the use of "ap" in the name, and the device being strongly suggestive towards the major Welsh story "Children of Lir", this may be presumptive. Concern was also expressed about the flaunches being too wide to be accepted - understandably for the need to fit the swans in but probably too wide to have been registerable.
Dorothea Manuela Ponçe - New Device Change
Per bend sinister Or and vert, a gilly-flower proper and a tower Or
Consulting Herald: Lochlainn hua Rigbarddain, Raven's Cove Pursuivant
This is being returned for redrawing. The gillyflower & tower together form the primary charge group and should share a common posture/orientation. In this case, the flower seems bendwise sinister and the tower is palewise which breaks unity of posture/orientation.
