 Submission Returns by Name - Baldwin of Erebor
We accord national arms and flags (especially well­known ones, such as France) an added degree of protection; and since there is a reasonable chance that the two might be mistaken at a moderate distance, I'm afraid I have to agree with the commenting heralds who felt they conflicted.
NOTE: This is too similar to the arms of BETVA A BEDIVYN, "Vert, a birch tree argent, leaved as for autumn Or, within a bordure Or." (SCA) There is one point for the tincture of the field, and a minor (demoted from a major) for the tincture of the tree.
It is my opinion that the Grandfather Clause would permit her to use her father's arms differenced by an unfimbriated label (in Or or argent), or to incorporate elements from her father's device (the fimbriated sword and retort) into an otherwise acceptable new design, but that this combination is excessive.

Arrived at Janina, this officer placed before Ali the proofs of his understanding with the enemies of the State.  Ali was not strong enough to throw off the mask, and yet could not deny such overwhelming evidence.  He determined to obtain time.

Quarterly sable and gules, a dexter arm, armoured, couped and embowed fesswise and on a chief argent three gouttes de poix.
DISCUSSION: Against the arms of STANHOPE ("Vert, three wolves passant Or") I count three minor points ­ one for replacing the charge in base (fairly large), one for adding a tertiary charge (arguable, but in accordance with the Rules), and one for the position of the foxes' heads (in the Rules, though disputed by some).
The fact that Mistress Irminsul uses this design as a maker's mark makes it even less suitable: arms may be borne with or without an augmentation, but the augmentation should not be used separately from the arms.

In the end, Frederick Augustus, elector of Saxony, who renounced Lutheranism and converted to Catholicism in order to qualify, was crowned as Augustus II, King of Poland on September 1, 1697.
It was the first time that a deceased monarch's son had not been elected to succeed him; that the rightful candidate had been debarred from the throne by military force; and that the Poles had acquired a German king, which went against a long tradition of keeping German hegemony at arm's length.
Augustus II’s first act as king was to expel the prince of Conti from the country.
