A blog highlighting Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) devices and arms designed by Hubert de Stockleye (aka Wulfhere of Eofeshamme) of the Shire of Amlesmore in the Kingdom of Calontir. In addition to the devices showcased are links to heraldry sites that teach the basics of heraldry, sites with heraldric art, as well as blank shields for use in designing devices. And then there are posts about anything that interests me dealing with the modern middle ages.
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.

Or, a strawberry gules, and on a chief sable three bells Or.
I have not seen strawberries used much in SCA heraldry so in my quest to use rarely used charges I came up with this design. I find it surprising strawberries are not more common as everyone likes strawberries don't they?
