The Armour Archive

Well, after 16 years in the SCA, I finally registered a Name and Device. Got the letter in the mail this week. This site has inspired me in many ways, and I wanted to share a bit of that.

Thanks to a Eastern European specialist at last years Pennsic, I have a doccumentable name:

Rudolphus Nitriensis (Rudolph of Nitra)

and my device passed (thanks to the heralds assistance, and a good gentleman...err Baron, from Storvick who allowed a conflict of arms):

"Azure, a swan argent charged on the breast with a rose proper". Needless to say I am super excited, just need to get figure out how to make a proper avatar for this site.

Anyway, this is how I am currently drawing the device. Interested if anyone may have suggestions on tailoring it more towards Eastern Europe. Thanks for looking

Very nice- Congrats!

There are some links to Polish and Hungarian arms in the Medieval Heraldry Archive:

Maybe some of these will help with art ideas?

thank you for the links.

From what I can recall, quite a few people have turned to Effingham for their avatars.

It does look very nice.
