[MR] Authenticity (was pentograms)

[Tracy Janicki]

And what herald would tell Arthur that he couldn't have a Red Dragon on a  Black field?  *smirk*

Arthurian heraldry is a poor example, not only is it fiction employing symbolism the heraldry often break the rules of at least English law on the subject. Arthurt has a red dragon on a black feild, red on black is a big no no as I recall. James ---------- Sent from AT&T's Wireless network using Mobile Email

As long as it's not in the central area of the event, why not? I've seen
preparations being made for a few such, though I was unable to attend. (I
will assume that the religious service is being held in accordance with
the rules of the denomination the service claims to be for.)

You do not appear to have said that previously.

While I do not know of any uses of a pentagram used as a heraldic charge
by actual period people, my knowledge of period heraldry is by no means
exhaustive. Furthermore, I *do* know that it is used on the arms
attributed to Sir Gawain, Knight of the Round Table, as desceibed in some
period versions of the Arthurian mythos.
