The March 2026 Letter of Acceptances and Returns has been published. Here are the results for Calontir.

CALONTIR acceptances

Brighid ingen Donngaile. Badge. Or, a pink flamingo proper.

Dorcas Whitecap. Badge. Per chevron gules and sable, a tree stump snagged Or.

Dragoncina di Cecco. Device. Gules, on a chevron between three goose’s feet inverted argent two stalks of wheat gules.

Elspeth Modlen ferch Dafydd. Device change. Per bend sinister gules and azure, three spoons hanging from a bar couped Or.

This ‘hanging spoons’ motif is found in the St. Gallen Armorial, p323 https://www.e-codices.unifr.ch/en/csg/1084/323. We will consider the bar to be a secondary charge conjoined to the primary spoons.

The submitter’s prior device, Or, a torteau charged with a sea-horse erect Or, in base a ford proper, is released.

Katherine Renée la Cousturière. Name and device. Per bend sinister argent and purpure, a domestic cat sejant guardant sable and two threaded needles in saltire argent.

Natasha Aldredesdohtor. Name and device. Papellony sable and Or, a bend purpure, overall a unicorn passant contourny argent.

Submitted as Natasha Aldredsdohtor, the patronymic byname was not correctly formed. Old English given names ending in red form the genitive by adding es to the end, not simply s. We have therefore changed this to Natasha Aldredesdohtor for registration.

Natasha is the submitter’s legal given name.

Nikita Pavlovich. Device. Per fess sable and azure, a sun argent eclipsed sable and a bear rampant argent.

Olivera Woll. Device. Argent, an olive tree and on a chief embattled vert three open books argent.

Nice cant!

Rónán mac Diarmata. Name and device. Sable, a rainbow bendwise throughout proper, in sinister chief a sea-lion argent.

Nice Middle Irish Gaelic name!

CALONTIR returns
None.

CALONTIR pends

Devis in le Breres. Device. Per pale vert and sable, three lozenges conjoined in pale between two sprigs of blackberry, a bordure argent.

This device is pended to redraw the lozenges larger so that they are clearly the primary charges. Lozenges conjoined in pale are equivalent to a pale fusily and thus must be the primary charge in this design. The sprigs and bordure may be drawn smaller to accomplish this aim.

Nice cant!
