Definition:[edit | edit source]

November 2009: unicorn without beard[edit | edit source]

Lachlan of Cromarty. Badge. Per pale argent and gules, two unicorn's heads couped addorsed counterchanged. The submitter has documented that the unicorn without a beard, as seen in this submission, is a standard period depiction of unicorns in Germany. Unicorns, in the future, may be registered either with or without beards. The requirement for cloven hooves and tufts of fur on the legs remains. We will not distinguish between beardless and bearded unicorns in our blazon. http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2009/11/09-11lar.html#98

Registerability:[edit | edit source]

October 1992 - grafting unicorn horns onto random animals disallowed[edit | edit source]

Grafting unicorn's horns onto random animals is not period practice. It has been decried by previous Laurels (LoAR of 3 Aug 86, p.15), and always discouraged; I am taking the final step and, except for Grandfathered cases, disallowing it entirely. (Sorcha ni Mhurchadha, October, 1992, pg. 22) http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/precedents/bruce/horn-animal.html

Karina of the Far West 1978.11.20 - no unicorn with name Corwin[edit | edit source]

If the name Corwin is used, do not use a unicorn. (KFW, 20 Nov 78 [23], p. 1)
