===November 2020 CL - On Flames
===<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">'''<span style="font-size: 13px;">From the June 1993 Cover Letter:</span>'''</span>===
This month, Iago Coquille takes us on an excursion through the depictions of flames in period heraldry. His article is currently available at the Laurel website at https://heraldry.sca.org/armory/flames/, and discusses:
<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">For some time now, we've been instituting a change (actually dating from Master Da'ud's tenure as Laurel) on enflamed charges: how they're considered, and how they're blazoned. In the early days of the Society, a </span>''<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">[charge] enflamed</span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;"> was depicted as a </span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">[charge]</span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">completely enveloped by flame --- essentially a full flame, with the [charge] entirely on the flame. In those cases, the [charge] was considered the primary charge, with the flames either an artistic detail or a complex sort of fimbriation. More recently, such designs have been blazoned </span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">On a flame a [charge]</span>''<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">, making the flame the primary and the [charge] a tertiary. This has two effects: it brings our heraldic practice closer to that of period, and it alters the way difference is counted against such designs.</span>
* Flame shape
* Disconnected flames
* Tinctures, including proper
* Depiction of strewn flames


Iago's research affects two items this month. Specifically, we are now overturning precedent: the so-called "crab-claw" depiction, previously viewed as modern as declared on the September 2019 Cover Letter, is now shown to be period and, therefore, usable in Society armory. It is worth noting that not all the sources are Italian -- English, French, and German sources are also represented among others.
<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">On the first point, enflamed charges weren't normally depicted in period armory as enveloped of flames. Discounting the fiery charges whose flames have a defined placement (e.g., the </span>''<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">beacon</span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">), a period enflamed charge would be drawn with tiny spurts of flame issuant from several points. </span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">Mounts enflamed</span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;"> were not uncommon: in addition to the examples of MacKenzie armory cited by Lady Black Stag (in her commentary on Michael McKenzie, on this LoAR), there's the </span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">mountain couped azure enflamed proper</span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">in the arms of MacLeod ([[scaheraldry/references.html#43|Guillim]], 1632, p.127) and the </span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">trimount couped vert enflamed gules</span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;"> in the arms of Lerchenfeld ([[scaheraldry/references.html#86|Siebmacher]], 1605, plate 95) and Nouwer ([[scaheraldry/references.html#48|Armorial de Gelres]], c.1370, fo.40). There's also the arms of Brandt (</span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">Argent, a ragged staff bendwise sable enflamed gules</span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">), where the enflaming is depicted in various sources ([[scaheraldry/references.html#86|Siebmacher ]], Gelres, the [[scaheraldry/references.html#63|European Armoria]]) as on the top end of the staff, issuant from each "ragged" portion, or issuant to chief --- but never as </span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">On a flame gules a ragged staff sable</span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">. The salamander is usually shown with spurts of flame, but occasionally as lying on a bed of flame (Dennys' [[scaheraldry/references.html#26|Heraldic Imagination]], p.193); but I could find no period emblazon showing the salamander as a tertiary on a flame. The enflamed towers of the arms of Dublin are drawn with spurts of fire from the battlements and windows, not as flames with tertiary towers. I could go on, but I think the point is made: in period, the normal depiction of a </span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">[charge] enflamed</span>''<span style="background-color: #ffffff;"> showed the charge on the field, with tiny spurts of flame issuant (and also on the field).</span>


Additionally, the ways in which multi-color flames have been depicted in period are much more varied than is typical of our practice. In particular, we now have sufficient evidence to support a variety of ways in which flames may incorporate both red and yellow and still be considered proper, extending beyond our long-held standard of alternating tongues of Or and gules, and future submissions will benefit from this evidence.
<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">Two consequences follow from this depiction. First, the </span>''<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">[charge]</span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;"> and the flames must both have good contrast with the field. Enflaming isn't a way to get around the Rule of Tincture; we don't permit flaming fimbriation in Society armory. Second, by the period definition of </span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">enflaming</span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;"> an enflamed </span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">[charge]</span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;"> is definitely the main charge; but by the old SCA definition, an enflamed </span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">[charge]</span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">is now considered a tertiary charge. We'd count Sufficient Difference, per X.2, between </span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">a lion Or enflamed gules</span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;"> and </span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">a tower Or enflamed gules</span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">, but no difference at all, per X.4.j.ii, between on </span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">a flame gules a lion Or</span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;"> and </span>//<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">on a flame gules a tower Or</span>''<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">.</span>


https://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2020/11/20-11cl.html
<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">In all ways, then, it's in the submitter's best interest to render an enflamed charge in the period style, rather than as a tertiary on a flame. It's more authentic, </span>''<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">'''and'''</span>''<span style="background-color: #ffffff;"> it reduces the chance of conflict.

===June 1993 Cover Letter: period enflaming===
For some time now, we've been instituting a change (actually dating from Master Da'ud's tenure as Laurel) on enflamed charges: how they're considered, and how they're blazoned. In the early days of the Society, a ''[charge] enflamed'' was depicted as a ''[charge]'' completely enveloped by flame --- essentially a full flame, with the [charge] entirely on the flame. In those cases, the [charge] was considered the primary charge, with the flames either an artistic detail or a complex sort of fimbriation. More recently, such designs have been blazoned ''On a flame a [charge]'', making the flame the primary and the [charge] a tertiary. This has two effects: it brings our heraldic practice closer to that of period, and it alters the way difference is counted against such designs.


On the first point, enflamed charges weren't normally depicted in period armory as enveloped of flames. Discounting the fiery charges whose flames have a defined placement (e.g., the ''beacon''), a period enflamed charge would be drawn with tiny spurts of flame issuant from several points. ''Mounts enflamed'' were not uncommon: in addition to the examples of MacKenzie armory cited by Lady Black Stag (in her commentary on Michael McKenzie, on this LoAR), there's the ''mountain couped azure enflamed proper'' in the arms of MacLeod (Guillim, 1632, p.127) and the ''trimount couped vert enflamed gules'' in the arms of Lerchenfeld (Siebmacher, 1605, plate 95) and Nouwer (Armorial de Gelres, c.1370, fo.40). There's also the arms of Brandt (''Argent, a ragged staff bendwise sable enflamed gules''), where the enflaming is depicted in various sources (Siebmacher, Gelres, the European Armorial) as on the top end of the staff, issuant from each "ragged" portion, or issuant to chief --- but never as ''On a flame gules a ragged staff sable''. The salamander is usually shown with spurts of flame, but occasionally as lying on a bed of flame (Dennys' Heraldic Imagination, p.193); but I could find no period emblazon showing the salamander as a tertiary on a flame. The enflamed towers of the arms of Dublin are drawn with spurts of fire from the battlements and windows, not as flames with tertiary towers. I could go on, but I think the point is made: in period, the normal depiction of a ''[charge] enflamed'' showed the charge on the field, with tiny spurts of flame issuant (and also on the field).
