The Armorial Bearings of Steven Harris of Maurybrooke 27th April 2011 “It is forbidden to be repetitive in heraldry: one idea should not be symbolized with two or more charges. On the other hand , if one charge suffices to symbolize two or more ideas, it only strengthens the symbolism of the charge, and therefore the whole emblem.” – Herald ry Society of Finland – Helsinki, April 1990 Arms Argent a chevron wavy Vert between three crosses erminée Sable The white or silver ( argent ) of the shield represents selflessness and a desire for prac- tical simplicity, especially when weighed against the other heraldic metal, gold. Being in the center of the spectrum, the color green ( vert ) represents a rejection of extrem- is m , characterized by tolerance, empathy, and a deep conviction for social justice and civil rights – standing in opposition to ignorance, fear, hate, and violence , following the philosophy of Andalusian jurist Muhammad ibn Rushd (1126 - 1198): “Ignorance leads to fear, fear leads to hate, and hate leads to violence. This is the equation.” Although not specified in the blazon, the specific shade of green used (sometimes called ‘water- course’, █ #006E48) was the corporate color of my first employer A ccording to psy- chologists who study the influence of color of human behavior, cool colors like this dark green promote feelings of calm and balance in life – not unlike chōwa ( 調和 ) in Japa- nese philosophy – and are preferred by introverts such as myself, while extroverts pre- fer warm colors. The pattern created on the field by the chevron suggests our frequent family vacations to the Green Mountains of Vermont and the White Mountains of New Hamp- shire, which were formed during the same orogenesis as the Scottish Highlands. The – 1 – https: // bit.ly / 2IQV3sl Design Rationale chevron itself is taken from the arms of the Virginia Military Institute (VMI), where I studied Chemistry and English literature. On the arms of VMI, the broken chevron serves as an augmentation of honor for the ten cadets who fell at the Battle of New Market on 15th May 1864, under the command of Confederate Major General John Breckinridge, previously Vice President of the United States and Senator from Ken- tucky. Moreover, the chevron commemorates the long tradition of military service in my family – i ncluding my paternal grandfather, Corporal Jack Leo Harris ( né H illis , 1921 - 2004), 3rd Ranger Battalion, wounded at the Battle of Anzio during World War II; his adoptive father, William Harris ( 1896 - 1955) , who fought in World War I; as well as three members of the Northumberland County Regiment, Pennsylvania Militia who fought in the American Revolutionary War: Peter Witmer (1737 - 1793), his son Johann - Peter Whitmer (1760 - 1835), and their company commander Captain Johann Georg Overmire (1727 - 1805) – Johann - Peter later marrying the Captain’s daughter, Maria Magdalena Overmire (1767 - 1839), one of my fifth - great - grandmothers We also have ancestors who fought in the American Civil War, however they fought on t he morally indefensible side , so w e do not honor them as we do our other ancestors. Instead, we acknowledge their mistakes and do what we can to atone for them, by opposing racism and championing the promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The wav y lines of the chevron answer the wavy bend on the arms assumed by my father in January 1999 (American College of Heraldry registration 1749, published in The Heraldic Register of America , volume 10 ), which I disclaimed on 3rd March 2008. My father’s arm s are blazoned : Or on a bend wavy Azure between a cross formée Gules and a trefoil Vert three mullets Argent, and on a torse Azure doubled Or is set for crest a demi - lion winged Or armed and langued Gules holding in his sinister paw a sword proper, and with motto « Fidēlitās et Līberālitās » meaning “Loyalty and Charit y”. In his arms, the wavy lines represented his mother’s family name, Alspach, meaning ‘eel - shaped brook’; in my arms it represents my kaimyō ( 戒名 ) or dharma name – Sawanoboka 沢登家 , meaning ‘stream climber’. The three crosses recall the Roman Catholic faith of my upbringing: I attended Catholic schools from kindergarten to the twelfth grade; I was a senior alter server at my parish and a supernumerary altar server to our bishop; I earned the Parvulī Deī and Ad Altare Deī medals as a Scout; I remember family trips to the Religious Sisters of Mercy (RSM) McAuley Convent in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati to visit my grandaunts, Sister Maureen Grace (1923 - 1992) and Sister Eileen (1924 - 2008) , younger sisters of my maternal grandfather, Arthur Veeley (1912 - 1972), after whom I was named [ coinci- dentally Arthur ’s younger brother Charles Veeley (1928 - 2011) married Margaret “ Peggy ” McGowan ( 1932 - 2017 ) who had also been a Sister of Mercy for two decades as Sister Ma ry Joel before they had met ] ; in high school I volunteered with the Salesians of Don Bosco (SDB) as an afterschool tutor at their Boys and Girls Club of Columbus; I was active in the Knights of Columbus since the age of 16, holding numerous elected and app ointed offices before I resigned in March 2016 ⟨ q.v. Supplement 2 ⟩ ; and I was involved in Catholic Campus Ministry and Newman Club in college, including four “ En- counter with Christ ” retreats hosted by the Diocese of Richmond, as a participant (EWC 126), twice as speaker (129, 131), and finally as coordinator (134). My faith was an essential part of my childhood and adolescence. The crosses may also be seen as honoring a devotion to Saint Jadwiga, Queen of Poland (d.1399), to whom my wife’s family had a stained - glass window dedicated at their home parish of Our Lady of Częstochowa in the Diocese of Worcester, as a heav- enly protector and intercessor for the family – not unlike a slava ( слава ) in Serbian culture, which would be celebrated by the family every year on 17th July , her feast day – 2 – – 3 – Design Rationale https: // bit.ly / 2IQV3sl https: // bit.ly / 2IQV3sl Design Rationale Each cross is composed of four ermine spots – a heraldic symbol of eminence and virtue – representing my four children. The cross of four ermine spots, or la croix erminée , was first recorded in Cheshire in the mid - 15th century on arms used by Wil- liam Hur leston ⟨ Woodcock , vol 3 p 129 ⟩ . Taken all together, the three crosses repre- sent my three daughters and the chevron represents my son. The four ermine tails in each cross also evoke the four cardinal virtues of Western philosophy, framed 25 - cen- turies ago by the Greek sophist philosopher Protagóras of Abdera , and later appear in the Hebrew scriptures (Wisdom 8:7) : fortitude ( ἀ νδρεία ), justice ( δικαιοσύνη ), tem- perance ( σωφροσύνη ), and prudence ( φρόνησις ); later going hand - in - hand with the tetrad of goddesses to whom the historic Library of Celsus ( Κέλσος ) in Ephesus was dedicated in 117 CE , personifying virtue ( ἀ ρετή ), intelligence ( ἔ ννοια ), knowledge ( ἐ πιστήμη ), and wisdom ( σοφία ). Additionally, it is worth observing that the chevron - between - three - charges design, the sable - on - argent theme, and the ermine family of furs have all been com- mon elements in arms used by those surnamed Harris ⟨ Burke , pp 459 - 460 ⟩ Crest Vert doubled Argent; from a wreath of sacred fig leaves a bobcat sejant holding aloft in her dexter paw a pink carnation all proper Set upon a vert - doubled - argent torse is placed a wreath of leaves from the sacred fig tree ( Ficus religiosa ), under which Siddhārtha Gautama was awakened and attained enl ightenment in 528 BCE as Buddha, traditionally observed on 8th December each year with intensive meditation and dharma study, almsgiving or dāna ( 布施 ) , and acts of kindness. Additionally, the wreath of leaves points to my given name, Steven, which originat ed from the Ancient Greek name Στέφανος , meaning ‘crowned with a wreath’. The Serbo - Croatian form of the name, Стефан , was used as an honorific and royal title among medieval South Slavic rulers on the Balkan Peninsula. Earlier drafts of my crest used l eaves from the American Beech tree ( Fagus grandifolia ). Beech trees are sacred in paganism, being associated with subtlety and artistry , wisdom and understanding, and are invoked to oppose narrowmindedness and intolerance. My jō ( 杖 ) and bokken ( 木剣 ) from my aikido training are also made of beech wood. I n addition to being the inspiration for the shade of green used throughout my heraldry, the company logo of my first employer also featured a stylized American Beech leaf (1996 - 2007) , but it was repetitive to use both the shade of green and the specific leaf for that symbolism. Design Rationale https: // bit.ly / 2IQV3sl – 5 – – 4 – Rising out of the wreath is a bobcat or red lynx ( Lynx rufus ), which has served as a symbol for the learned sciences since the spark of the modern scientific revolution in 1543 – as with l'Accademia dei Lincei (Lincean Academy) in Rome, which was founded in 1603 by Federico Cesi, later Duke of A cquasparta. In Greek, Norse, and Native American mythologies, the elusive and mysterious lynx held the ability to see through falsehood and to unravel hidden truths. The lynx was also not unknown to the a ncient Romans, as evidenced by a legion known as Lynx Fulmināta ( “ thundering lynx ” ) , as well as in a malicious rumor spread to desecrate the memory of Emperor Caracalla (d.217) that he ha d been mauled to death by a lynx while stopped by the side of the road to urinate between Edessa and Carrhae ( in modern southeastern Turkey ) , the story persists to this day In Arthurian legends, a red lynx has been attributed to Sir Lucan, King Arthur’s most - le arned knight, who managed the royal household and arranged all protocol and ceremonies of the court as Chamberlain of Camelot. Reminiscent of the Buddha’s Flower Serm on or nenge mishou ( 拈華微笑 ) , the lynx – which Pliny the Elder had named a chama in his encyclopedic “ Natural History” – holds aloft a single blossom, suggesting mindfulness and a contemplative tempera- ment , embodying “strength through peace” (a protest maxim adopted around 200 7 by opponents of the so - called “Global War on Terrorism” by pointedly inverting the pro- claimed i deology of the war’s supporters, rooted in a clāmor mīlitum of Emperor Ha- drian’s legions ), typified by seeking “peace through understanding” (which served as the theme for the 1964 World’s Fair exposition and cultural exchange), and is achieved through pri ncipled vision and honest dissent (as advocated in President Dwight Eisen- hower’s address at Columbia University marking its bicentennial in May 1954). Historically known as a clove pink, the carnation ( Dianthus caryophyllus ), called a gillyflower by some heralds, is both January’s birth - flower and the floral em- blem of Ohio – so adopted as a memorial after the 1901 assassination of President William McKinley , former US Representative from Ohio (1877 - 1884, 1885 - 1891) and Governor (1892 - 1896) – corresponding to when and where I was born. Carnations have frequently been used in the 20th century as a symbol of resistance to authoritar- ian régimes – such as the white carnations worn by Prince Bernhard o f Lippe - Biester- feld , husband of Queen Juliana , as a sign of defiance during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands ; the bright red carnations used during the April 1974 Revolução dos Cra- vos against the anti - democracy Estado Novo corporatist government in Portugal ; and the red carnations used by Azerbaijani dissidents during the violent Qara Yanvar ( قارا یانوار ) crackdown by Soviet troops in January 1990. I use a pink carnation since the supplementary color of the watercourse green of the chevron is called ‘carnati on pink’ ( █ #FF91B7) , and it also reminds me of my maternal grandmother’s cherished P eace roses ( Rosa chinensis × gigantea var odorata 'Madame A. Meilland' – c ultivated in 1935 and formally named in memoriam Claudia Dubreuil , Madame Antoine Meilland ; its common name “Peace rose” was suggested by Field Marshal Lord Alan b rooke , the pro- fessional head of the British Army during World War II , when he was presented with the ros e in 1945 ). – 4 – – 7 – Design Rationale https: // bit.ly / 2IQV3sl – 6 – Motto and Slogan To Thine Own Self Be True below the shield Scientiā Vincere Tenebrās above the crest Below the shield is an English motto – “To Thine Own Self Be True” – as spoken by Polonius to his son Laërtes in Shakespeare’s tragedy Hamlet (Act I, Scene 3). This prin- ciple echoes the tutelary spirit or daimon ( δαίμων ) of Ancient Greek philosophy, as in voked by the Athenian philosopher Socrátes at his trial for blasphemy in 399 BCE , and famously used in the epitaph of American musician Jim Morrison (1943 - 1971) on his gravestone at le Cimetière du Père - Lachaise in Paris – « κατά τον δαίμονα εαυτού » of- ten translated as “true to his own spirit”. The daimon of the Ancient Greeks bears similarities to the Roman Catholic ‘moral conscience’ dogma (Catechism of the Catholic Church §§1776 - 1802), common ly cited by many early Protestant reformers . Th is ide a significantly influenced people like German theologian Martin Luther, who concluded his defense at his 1521 trial for heresy by declaring „ Hier stehe ich. Ich kann nicht an- ders. “ (“Here I stand. I can do no other.”) The phrase ‘inward light’ for this co ncept first appeared in English poet John Milton’s 1644 polemic Areopagitica on the freedom of speech and expression, and was recorded shortly thereafter in the early preachings of George Fox, founder of the Quakers Analogous concepts a re also common among p s ilanthrop y , secular humanism, and other nontheistic philosophies ⟨ q.v. Supplement 1 ⟩ Above the crest is a Scottish slogan or sluagh - ghairm , the Latin phrase « Sci- entiā Vincere Tenebrās », which may be translated as “conquering darkness by sci- ence”, also used as an academic motto by the Universities of Brussels. The Latin noun tenebra carries both literal meaning s of ‘ darkness , shadow, gloom , obscurity ’ as well as figurative meaning s of ‘ ignorance , moral blindness, inability to perceive intellectu- ally , lack of discernment ’ – 8 – Design Rationale https: // bit.ly / 2IQV3sl – 9 – Badge An octagon Sable charged with three annulets interlaced two over one within an orle Argent The octagonal badge, the first heraldic element that I assumed (on 14th July 2008), is directly inspired by the mon ( 紋 ) of Zenshinkan Dōjō, where I study Japanese martial, spiritual, and cultural arts. The octagon , common ly found in Eastern art and aesthe tics , is charged with three interlaced rings, which was used as a heraldic device and cogni- zance by the family of Saint Charles Borromeo ( born Don Carlo Borromeo di Arona ) , Archbishop of Milan and Cardinal - Priest of la Basilica di Santa Prassede all'Esquilino , the eponymous patron of my college preparatory school, and the patron saint that I adopted at the age of fourteen when I received the sacrament of confirmation from H is Excellency The Most Rev James Griffin, Bishop of Columbus. Furthermore, the sim- plicity of the rings alludes to the ensō ( 円相 ) of Zen Buddhism and aikidō ( 合気道 ), in both of which I am a student. The three rings may also symbolize the three treasures of t he ancient Chinese philosopher Laozi 老子 (simplicity, patience, compassion), as well as the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha) and threefold training (moral con- duct, mindfulness, and understanding) from Buddhism. Lastly, the three mandorle in the centra l interlacing of the rings form a Celtic triquetra, for my mother’s Irish ances- tors from Churchtown, County Cork, which may also serve as a heraldic knot. Nine years after the badge was first assumed , a family genealogical research project uncovered direct descent from several royal and noble lines. To re flect these lineages in the arms, I considered using a cap of maintenance. It could have replaced the torse in the crest, similar to a crest coronet, however, this may have led to unin- tend ed confusion with the chapeau granted as an additament to untitled or minor no- bility, such as to Scottish feudal barons under Sir Thomas Innes of Learney as Lord Lyon (1945 - 1969) ⟨ Campbell, p 7 ⟩ To avoid any hint of lèse majesté (or perhaps lèse no- blesse ), it was decided to include it in the badge instead. While t he fur - lined velvet chapeau is conventionally red, I went with a green one to match the livery colors. P rec- edent for a “ chapeau Vert tuned up Ermine ” can be found in the arms of Thomas Audley, Lord Audley of Walden (d.1544), who served as Lord Chancellor and Keeper of the Great Seal under Henry VIII, and was cofounder of Magdalene College, Cambridge; and in the arms granted in 1589 to Thomas Denne of Adisham , Kent Nevertheless, it was ultimately decided to continue use of the original , unadorned badge instead. – 7 – – 10 – – 9 – Design Rationale https: // bit.ly / 2IQV3sl – 9 – Design Rationale https: // bit.ly / 2IQV3sl – 11 – Plant Badge and Cri de Guerre A pink carnation, with a murrey ribbon inscribed with the cri de guerre in white letters The pink carnation held by Hypatía , my bobcat – named for the great Neoplatonist astronomer and mathematician Hypatía of Alexandria (d.415 CE ) – is assumed as a plant badge ⟨ q.v. Supplement 3 ⟩ . It is depicted as on a Scottish pinsel, with a murrey or red- dish - purple ribbon inscribed with a cri de guerre in white letters ⟨ Barden, p 2 ⟩ „ Wahrheit und Ehre “ – meaning “truth and honor” in German, for my Hessian roots (both sides of my family) and my father’s ancestors from Canton Basel , Switzerland – is taken from an old proverb: “in science there is truth; in art there is honor”. House Flag A Nordic cross in the colors of the arms as a triangular swallowtail burgee To pair with the arms, a house flag was designed (on 8th April 2013) as a triangular swallowtail burgee in the same shape and proportions as the state flag of Ohio, my birth - state, which at 8:13 approximates the golden ratio, φ . The overall pattern is tha t of a Nordic cross or la croix scandinave , which I have always found to be an aestheti- cally pleasing and well - balanced flag design. The colors are taken directly from the arms: green #006E48 █ , white #EFEEF0 █ , and black #101010 █ . The stripe widths on the hoist edge are 6½ - 1 - 2 - 1 - 6½, based on other tricolor Nordic cross flags (such as Nor- way and Iceland). The use of the Nordic cross flag is also a nod to the strong Scandina- vian culture and history of the Isle of Harris, rooted in the Norse colonization there from the late - 8th century until the Treaty of Perth ended the vassal state of Suðreyjar in 1266. When possible, the pole used to carry th is house flag , or any other of my he- raldic flags – standard, guidon, pennon, banner of arms, pinsel, pennon, etc – should use the spearhead finial required by US Army r egulations (AR 840 - 10 §8 - 2b) that we followed at VMI. They may also be flown with a streamer , heraldically called a pen- noncelle or banderolle, taking the pattern of my personal tartan , like the tartan flag or bratach commonly carried by clans at gatherings and highland games – 10 – – 11 – Design Rationale https: // bit.ly / 2IQV3sl – 1 3 – – 12 – The modern military campaign streamer is historically derived from th e Germanic gúþfana or medieval war - flag. VMI’s organizational color, that I carried as 1st Battalion Color Sergeant, is flown with such a campaign streamer , earned by the Corps of Cadets at the Battle of New Market, during the American Civil War. Personal Tartan LR/6 K4 N30 K20 DG40 K4 P/8 The MacLeod clan tartan (upper - right) set against my personal tartan (lower - left) My personal tartan was designed (on 3rd September 2015) to answer the traditional hunting tartan of the Clan MacLeod of Harris & Dunvegan, from where my surname is derived and which Kate and I used at our wedding (on 24th Jan uary 2004) ⟨ SRT , ref 2629 ⟩ . While the threadcount is identical to the clan tartan, the colors were altered to complement aspects of my heraldry. Specifically , t he Balmoral blue check (B, █ #1474B4) of the MacLeod sett was replaced with the watercourse green from the chevron in the arms (DG, █ #006E48), and the MacLeod green check (G, █ #006818) was replaced with stardust grey (N, █ #9E9E9D), which sits at the point of the golden ratio, φ , o n the gradient between black and white, for the silver or argent of the shield. Stardust grey also ties into my interest in astronomy – observing eclipses, marking the solstice and equinox, and tracking the planets and my birth - star ( ε Persei ) across the night sky – remembering an insight of American astrophysicist Carl Sagan (1934 - 1996): “We are made of star - stuff.” While stardust grey is used for my hunting tartan, lilac white (LN, █ #EFEEF0) – which has been used as the argent in many of t he emblazonments of the arms, and draws from the prominent lilacs ( Syringa vulgaris ) in our home garden – may be used for a dress – 1 4 – Design Rationale https: // bit.ly / 2IQV3sl Design Rationale https: // bit.ly / 2IQV3sl Design Rationale – 15 – tartan. Together, the dark green and gray major checks now match the vert - doubled - argent livery of the arms. To complete the design, the red overcheck (R, █ #C80000) was lightened to the carnation pink (LR, █ #FF91B7) from the crest and plant badge, while the yellow overcheck (Y, █ #E8C000) was replaced with Tyrian purple (P, █ #70022F), a comple- mentary color of watercourse gre en. This ‘royal purple’ – famously produced by the ancient Phoenicians from muricid sea snails – is an affirmation of our descent from two royal houses. One of my maternal fifth - great - grandfathers was William Gordon (1772 - 1845), who was the son of John Go rdon (12th in descent from Princess Mary Stewart, Countess of Angus, daughter of Robert III, King of Scots) and Mary Helen Duke (8th in descent from Sir Arthur Plantagenet, Viscount Lisle, son of Edward IV, King of England – pedigree confirmed by the Plant agenet Descendants Society, 2nd November 2016). The tincture murrey may also be used in some details in the emblazonment, such as cadency marks, the ribbon in the plant badge, versos of the motto and slogan scrolls, and maiden’s bows. The heraldic stain murrey is derived from the dark reddish - purple mulberry fruit, which, along with the fig leaves in my crest, are both species of the moraceous family of flowering plants. (Interestingly, during the Summer of 1787 , Ben- jamin Franklin was known to host other delegates to the Constitutional Convention at his Philadelphia home to debate proposals in the shade of his prized mulberry tree ) The black stripes (K, █ #101010) are left unchanged from the MacLeod sett to underpin the design an d represent the crosses from the arms. Coincidently, the 112 thread- counts of the sett holds great significance to my father as this was his policeman’s badge number as a career law enforcement officer. This tartan design was approved by the Scottish Register of Tartans and regis- tered on 31st July 2018 ⟨ SRT, ref 12205 ⟩ A woven sample has been sent to the Na- tional Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh for permanent preservation. Assumption and Registration These arms were assumed on 27th April 2011, which happened to be the feast of Our Lady of Montserrat ( la Mare de Déu de Montserrat ) in the Catholic Church The com- plete armorial bearings were designed by the armiger with notable contributions from Kenneth Mansfield (Winchester, Kentucky), Kathy McClurg (Virginia Beach, Virginia), Geoffrey Kingman - Sugars (Chapman, Australian Capital Territory), and Richard Lic hten (Hale, Cheshire). The arms have been properly registered with the United States Heraldic Reg- istry (#20110817A), New England Historic Genealogy Society’s Committee on Heraldry (17th March 2012), Society of American Armigers (#AA0028, publication ISSN 2572 - 7605), and are pending before the International Heraldry Society for inclusion in The Armorial Register (formerly Burke’s Peerage & Gentry International Register of Arms ). On 28th June 2012, the arms were sealed by The Much Hon Hugh Magnus MacLeod of MacLeod, 30th Chief of MacLeod, for inclusion in the Clan’s armorial and roll of arms. The arms are also recorded alongside my membership in several heraldic so- cieties, such as the International Association of Amateur Heralds, American Heraldry Society, Heraldry Society of Scotland, and Royal Heraldry Society of Canada, among others. – 1 5 – – 1 8 – – 1 9 – https: // bit.ly / 2IQV3sl Design Rationale – 1 7 – – 16 – Design Rationale Cadency These arms may also be used by my wife and children, differenced with murrey Writhe brisures following heraldic precedence: Kathryn Joan (by a lozenge), Caroline Kathryn Virginia (an uncharged label of three points as heir - apparent to the arms), Jack Leo Francis (a crescent), Elizabeth Elaine Thérèse (an ermine spot), and Abigail Margaret Rose (a snowflake) ⟨ Gwynn - Jones ⟩ Further generations may difference their arms based on the Scottish system of Stodart bordures ⟨ q.v. Appendix Β ⟩ While my children are still young and living at home (that is: unforisfamiliated), they may use my arms by courtesy with appropriate Writhe brisures as given above . Once they are out on their own as adults, they are free to difference our arms for their own use as they see fit. There are several different models tha t they may follow : they could alter the color of the chevron, change the wavy line, add a border of various design, change the style of the crosses, replace the cross in base with a personal charge, etc. I would not deny them the rather unorthodox option of designing their own arms from scratch, as I did. In many heraldic jurisdictions, there is no such method for disclaiming inher- ited arms, however the United States does not have a heraldic authori ty to make nor enforce such a rule. I have never attempted to register my arms in their names for more - or - less this reason; I wanted to keep this option open to them since it is the path that I followed. My father designed and registered arms for himself when I was about 19 - years old. My brother and I were not involved in his design process, and in my opinion, they were not well done. When I became interested in heraldry myself, about a decade later, I decided to try my hand as designing personal arms. The se arms I later assumed are the end result of this. Designing my own arms was how I learned the most about the art and science of heraldry, and I wouldn’t want to deny that to one of my kids, if they wanted to experience it. https: // bit.ly / 2IQV3sl https: // bit.ly / 2IQV3sl Design Rationale – 19 – – 18 – Appendices Α Gallery of emblazonments – bit.ly/3kNwQ5I Β Proposed system of cadency – bit.ly/3kMzSY7 Γ Addendum to this design rationale – bit.ly/30XaZkC Δ Why “Harris of Maurybrooke”? – bit.ly/3aWGDSD Heraldry References Barden – Patrick Barden. “Flying Heraldry.” The Heraldry Society of Scotland, Edin- burgh. 1982. http://www.heraldry - scotland.co.uk/flyingheraldry.html Burke – Sir Bernard Burke, Ulster. “The General Armory of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales ” Harrison & Sons, London. 1884. https://archive.org/details/gener- alarmoryofe00burk/page/459/mode/2up Campbell – Donald Draper Campbell. “Scottish Armory and Heraldry: A General Over- view ” Journal of The Clan Campbell Society . 12 January 2019. https://www.ccsna.org/sites/default/files/upload/2019 - 02/Scottish - Armory - and - Heraldry - by - Donald - Draper - Campbell - E sq - 2019 - 01 - 12.pdf Gwynn - Jones – Sir Peter Gwynn - Jones, Garter; Hubert Chesshyre, Clarenceux; Thomas Woodcock, Norroy & Ulster. “The Bearing of Arms by Women.” The Col- lege of Arms, London. 6 November 1997. http://cheshire - heraldry.org.uk/de- cree.html Parker – James Parker , Henry Gough. “ A Glossary o f Terms Used i n Heraldry .” Parker & Co, Oxford. 1894 https://www.heraldsnet.org/saitou/parker/Jpglossa.htm SRT – The Scottish Register of Tartans.
