Wes Hál!

Greetings! I am Lord Hubert de Stockleye (aka Wulfhere of Eofeshamme), a Herald at Large in the Kingdom of Calontir which is part of the medieval research and re-creation group the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). My legal name is Berry Canote. Let me tell you about this blog. When I returned to the SCA a couple of years ago I did something I had not done my previous times as a member. I designed and submitted a device (called a coat of arms by those not in the SCA). In the process of coming up with different designs, seeing what could be done, and what could not be done I developed an interest in heraldry. This blog highlights many of my designs as well as gives tips on name research. For more information please read the About this Blog Page. There if you are a SCA member you can learn how to register one of these designs as your own device as well as get acquainted with what I do. Finally, feel free to browse the links list. A note of caution, I am still very new to this so you are encouraged to consult another herald. In the time since I have started this blog I have begun writing on other topics of interest to me so expect to see other topics on the Middle Ages. Note: This is not an official Society for Creative Anachronism site. The views expressed here are my own.

My Heraldric Achievement

In  the Kingdom of Calontir the populace is allowed the use of "a Helm, Torse, Crest, Mantling and Motto" according to kingdom law (see AIII-322 Heraldric Acheivements in "The Sumptuary Laws of Calontir" http://seneschal.calontir.org/calontir-law-14th-ed.php#appendix-3). With that in mind I decided to design my own and share it on SCA Heraldry Chat on Facebook. And to my great surprise, Conal Mac Nachtan (Bill Knight) designed an even better one for me! It is absolutely beautiful and I am very much in his debt. Conal plays in the Kingdom of the Outlands and serves as the Kingdom Chirurgeon there. He also runs a website that sells heraldric wear (everything from mugs to T-shirts to badges). You can visit it at: http://www.conalscorner.com/ Like me Conal also designs devices for people for free, and his work is wonderful. He has examples on his site. Here is the heraldric achievement he did for me:
