'''From the August 2006 Cover Letter:'''

FROM LAUREL - A Clarification Regalia for the Order of Knighthood includes (Tinctureless) A circular chain. This means a circular chain of any tincture, not just gold. It was so designated by Laurel in 1998, so there is nothing new here. Wreath tells me that some have interpreted this to mean that any necklace, whether or not it is unadorned, should be restricted. That is not the case. A necklace with a pendant is not the same as a knight's chain and there should be no question of improper use of a restricted charge in such a submission.

==Conflict:==
===On Ordinaries of Chain===
This month we were asked to consider potential conflict between a saltire of chain and a saltire.

Saltires of chain are not new to Society armory, but notably appear in period armory such as the arms of Benini, Or, a saltire of chain gules found in Insignia Florentinorum, BSB Cod.icon. 277, f.26r. (https://daten.digitale-sammlungen.de/bsb00001424/image_59), and the arms of Castiglionchio, Argent, a saltire of chain azure, from Priorista, ou catal. des prieurs de Florence, par famille, avec les armoiries, Bibliothèque municipale de Auxerre 103, c 1535 Italian (https://bvmm.irht.cnrs.fr/iiif/23901/canvas/canvas-2377439/view), f. 91v, and other saltires of chain are borne by Alberti, Benci, Fantoni, Tegna, Volognano, and Zati.

In addition, multiple chains bendwise (i.e. bendlets of chain) can be found in the arms of Bancozzo, Centinaia, Gerini, and Tizzoni. Giamboni bears Argent, a cross of chain sable between four mullets Or. Canacci bears Gules, a pall of chain sable, sometimes with a dog's head in chief.

In none of these cases is there any evidence of families of the same name bearing plain ordinaries instead.

Aside from Insignia Florentinorum, sources for the above include:
* Florentine Priorista, c. 1530 Italian (Chicago, Newberry VAULT Case MS folio J 035 .714) (https://collections.carli.illinois.edu/digital/collection/nby_dig/id/21753)*
 Priorista, ou catal. des prieurs de Florence, par famille, avec les armoiries, c 1535 Italian (Auxerre, Bibliothèque municipale, 103) (http://medium-avance.irht.cnrs.fr/ark:/63955/md311n79h689)
* The Priori of Florence, c. 1583-1595 Italian (Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze, Banco rari. 22-23) (https://teca.bncf.firenze.sbn.it/ImageViewer/servlet/ImageViewer?idr=BNCF00004585787, https://teca.bncf.firenze.sbn.it/ImageViewer/servlet/ImageViewer?idr=BNCF00004585788)

Thanks are due Iago Coquille for the citations above.

Given this and the cited evidence of charges of chain generally, we consider there to be an SC between an ordinary and an ordinary of chain.
