[Heraldry]:
Pall
Pall, (fr. pairle, which is also occasionally used by English heralds): 1. As a charge it represents an ecclesiastical vestment known as the pallium, and symbolical of Archiepiscopal authority, e.g. the Pall was sent by Pope Gregory to Augustine in 601; see Beda, Bk. I. cap. 29. Also to Abp. Justus in 624; Ibid., Bk. II. cap. 8. In the East, however, it occurs as an episcopal ornament. When borne as a charge, e.g. in the arms of archbishops, the lower end is always couped and fringed.
| > CANTERBURY-CHICHELE. |
| > CANTERBURY-CHICHELE. |
| > Azure, a pastoral staff in pale or, ensigned with a cross patt�e argent surmounted by a pall of the last, edged and fringed of the second, charged with four crosses patt�e fitch�e sable�The Archiepiscopal See of CANTERBURY. |
| > Impaled with argent, a chevron between three cinquefoils gules�Henry CHICHELEY, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1414-43. |
| > Sable, a cross argent in the dexter chief the archiepiscopal pall proper�Benedictine Abbey of St.Augustin at CANTERBURY. |
| > Argent, a bishop�s pall sable; in chief a stag�s head erased gules�CUNNINGHAME, Scotland. |
| Similar insignia to those borne by the See of CANTERBURY were formerly borne by the See of YORK, but with the field gules. Those of ARMAGH are the same as Canterbury, and those of DUBLIN have one more cross. |
| 2. As a sub-ordinary the pall may be described as a figure of the shape of the letter Y. |
| All three arms are to be drawn throughout. The figure with the three arms couped and pointed would be blazoned as the Shakefork, q.v. |
| > Argent, a pall sable; on a chief or, a dragon passant gules, between two chaplets of the last leaved vert�SHERIFFE, London, 1761. |
| > KELVERDON. |
| > KELVERDON. |
| A pall is but rarely subject to modification like the ordinaries. In one case it is reversed in another patonce. The term cross pall also occurs which cannot be a cross at all, but is supposed to mean merely the pall used as a subordinary, that is with the members drawn throughout. |
| > Gules, a pall reversed ermine�KELVERDON, or KELDON, Essex. |
| > Gules, a pall[ending in points] patonce between three estoiles argent�HARROLD. |
| > Gules, a cross pall, argent�DEYCHETER, Germany. |
| The terms per pall and in pall also occur, but they are written with the French form per pairle and in pairle. |
| > Per pairle reversed or gules and ermine over all a tau azure�LYLSEY, Harl. MS. 1386, fo. 66. |
| > Gules, three swords in pairle hilts meeting in the centre argent�BRISAC. |
Shake-fork
| > |
| > CUNNINGHAM. |
| Shake-fork: this is a bearing resembling a pall couped and pointed, and is almost entirely confined to Scotch families, and chiefly to those of CUNNINGHAM, who bear it in a variety of ways. It is in one instance blazoned a Pale furch�. |
| > Argent, a shake-fork sable�CUNNINGHAM. |
| > Argent, a pale furch� between two cotises sable�CUNNINGHAM. |
| > Argent, a shake-fork sable charged with a cinquefoil of the first�CUNNINGHAM, Glengarnock. |
| > Argent, a rose vert between three shake-forks sable�SMALLSHAW, Bolton, co. Lancaster. |
| > Azure, on a shake-fork between two mascles in chief, and a boar�s head erased in base or, three laurel leaves vert�KINLOCH, Scotland. |

Jun 2013 - schnecke, gyronny arrondi and per pall arrondi:
#127Amaryllis le Pouke. Device. Gyronny of three arrondi purpure, argent and sable. Blazoned on the Letter of Intent as Schneckendreipass//, that is a German blazon that may or may not be modern, and translates roughly as "three-parted snail." Woodward suggests an English blazon of //tierced in gyron gyronnant//. This field division was first registered in SCA heraldry in September 1971, blazoned as //gyronny of three arrondi, with the following comment: > NOTE: Alternative blazons for this pinwheel-like field division are "Tierced in gyrons arrondi" and "Tierced in gyron gyronnant." We believe the first one given is the clearest and most descriptive, for someone who has acquired the basic heraldic vocabulary. [Crispus Alexander, A-West, September 1971] In any case, as period examples of this field division are drawn both with the lines of division at the corners and with the lines of division shifted away from the corners, we will not consider this field division significantly different from per pall arrondi// or //per pall inverted arrondi. This device is returned for conflict with the device of Albrechtus Vagus, Per pall arrondi sable, azure and argent. As both devices have argent in the sinister section of the field, there is not a substantial change of tincture under SENA A5F2. There is therefore only one DC for change in tincture of half the field. http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2013/06/13-06lar.html#127
Jun 2002 - Palls, Shakeforks, and Couped Ordinaries
Thanks to the College for providing extensive commentary on the question of whether we should give difference between palls and shakeforks. This was a complicated issue, hampered by a lack of period evidence: all commenters noted that the pall and its variants were very uncommon in period in any place in Europe. The commentary showed a fairly strong consensus on how the SCA should address these issues. We therefore rule as follows: > PRECEDENT: As a general rule, ordinaries couped will be given a CD from ordinaries throughout. This general rule does not apply to specific ordinaries for which evidence has been presented that the ordinary and its couped variant were used interchangeably in period. In accordance with RfS X.4.e, if a particular ordinary throughout and its couped variant are both found in period armory, but were not considered to be "separate [charges] in period", no difference will be granted between them. If the ordinary throughout, or its couped variant, were not found in period armory, then it will only "be considered different in type if its shape in normal depiction is significantly different" from the period form of the ordinary. > PRECEDENT: Because of the period evidence presented concerning pall variants and in light of RfS X.4.e, no difference will be given between the following four pall variants: the pall (throughout), the pall couped, the shakefork, and the pallium. Any of these four charges will be given a CD from a pall with a decidedly different end treatment, such as a pall fleury or a pall potent. There are three standard versions of the pall in heraldic texts: the pall// (a throughout ordinary), the //shakefork// (couped with pointed ends at all three arms), and the //pallium(throughout in chief but couped in some fashion in base). The shakefork is the least frequently found of the forms mentioned in heraldic texts, and appears to be confined to the Scottish family of Cunningham in period. Because the Cunninghams are the only family so far shown in period to have used shakeforks, the College felt that the history of their armory had particular weight in determining difference for these charges, more so than would be usual for a single family. The Cunningham arms are depicted in sources throughout our period using both the pall and the shakefork, demonstrating that the charges were not "separate in period" from each other. The only period example that has so far been presented of a pall couped is also an emblazon of the Cunningham family arms (found in the Armorial de Berry). As a result, the pall couped is not considered "separate in period" from the standard pall or shakefork. The pallium is most frequently used by ecclesiastical organizations, where it functions as the heraldic representation of an ecclesiastical vestment. Evidence was presented by the College showing that the treatment of the basemost leg of a pallium could be done in a number of different ways without deriving any heraldic difference from the change. The basemost leg of a pallium is generally couped (plain), but it is sometimes couped with a fringed end, and sometimes couped and pointed like the basemost leg of a shakefork. This indicates that the exact treatment of the basemost arm of this charge is not heraldically significant. The concensus of the College was that the pallium should not be given difference from the pall or those charges which are not "separate in period" from a pall: the shakefork and the pall couped. If the pallium resembles the pall in all respects except for the treatment of the basemost (and least visually significant) arm, and the treatment of the basemost arm is not heraldically significant, then the pallium is effectively heraldically equivalent to a pall. Thus, the pallium is not entitled to a CD from a pall, shakefork or pall couped. No evidence has been presented that a pall with complex ends, such as fleury, would be considered heraldically interchangeable in period with a pall, shakefork, pallium or pall couped. We will therefore continue to give difference between a pall with complex ends and palls, shakeforks, palliums and palls couped. A pall with complex ends would be at most one step from period practice, and would likely just be a very uncommon, but standard sort of, variant of an uncommon ordinary. http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2002/06/02-06cl.html
Dec 2000 - per pall vs per pall inverted:
Yevane Jameson. Device. Per pall inverted azure, vert and Or. "Conflict with Rivika Vladimirovna Rivkina, Per pall sable, vert, and Or//.There is a CD for changing the line of division from //per pall// to //per pall inverted, but nothing for changing the tincture of one third of the field.
