Hi! Haroldry for the Non Harold has recently been submitted to Starting Point. We at Starting Point have explored your site. We really like it!

Starting Point

greetings.. I did indeed like your pages... I must warn you, however, that I am the Chatelaine for Dragonslaire here in AnTir, and I am prone to being skeptical when anything is posted about the SCA that may taint our image.. (this, of course, has not, yet..) I think you did a wonderful job, and my only critique is that you may want to (just for grins and giggles, to appease a Lady,) post some really maybe trueity of Heraldry in Haroldry, or a contact point for those with more imagination and wish to pursue... however, I also think it’s great the way it is...just a mere notation... Well, I must bid you Adeiu’

My name is Harold. Somehow I stumbled onto your Haroldry page. I haven’t had a chance to read it all, but it seemed kinda warped.

Harold.

Twisted. Very twisted. I like that in a person...

Oh Dear, Alas, Alack is me! I seem to have made a link to your Heraldry???!!! page... Perhaps thou wouldst consider a reverse link, mayhap?

Allow me to send my profound admiration regarding your Haroldry home page. I have recently been informed that I’m a Pursuviant at Large, but I never knew that I could torment my friends in so many ways now! I feel my education as a Harold has an excellent start.
Thank you! :)

If you’re going to link to the SCA heralds,why not the UK ones at http://www.kwtelecom.com/heraldry/collarms/index.html?

I love your site, just one tiny weeny nit pick. The SCA is not just a national organisation of the USA. It Exists in Australia and in Europe too.
P.S. I live in Melboune Australia aka Stormhold Lochac West.

Hello! I am a new herald and I would like to get some of your pages. Unfortunatly, I ado not have steady access to a computer. Could you please snail-mail these pages? My name and address: Thanks, and please tell me if this is not feasible. Thank you.

You are a warped and twisted human being. This is a good thing. The world needs more warped and twisted human beings.
This will irritate a lot of people. This is also a good thing. The people that will be irritated are the type of people who need irritating.
Have you ever given any thoughts to a similar page on Kronklers, I mean Chroniclers?

Hail and Well Met! I am but a hatchling Herald (Harold?), in a not-even-yet-incipiant-Shire-(Mire?)-that-will-remain-unnamed-for-the-moment, but after reading both the standard rules of Heraldy, and then yours, I must say that YOURS are much more clearly written and informative. Not to mention HILARAIOUS! Keep up the good work!
As an aside, whenever somebody tells me “thats not period”, I look them straight in the eye, and say, “have you taken a shower in the last month?”. It’s the CURRENT middle ages. Nuff said.

Meine Liebe [sic] und Esteembdte Ulrich,
Dear Sir,
It was with great joy and exhumberance (yes I meant that) that I found your website. I am a fledgling Chronicler in search of copycopycopy. I also suspect myself of being a closet herald, but of this, hereafter.
One flaw in your web site (or perhaps, t’would be better said, in its reader, namely me) is that while the badgers, gimmicks, piers, and contraptions were obviously parodying “reality,” my education is thus far either vague or entirely absent, and so while I chortled and giggled, I missed much of the subtleties embodied in your splendid and compendious work.
Be that as it may, I should very much like to reproduce excerpts from your web site within the pages of The Sounding, which is published by and for the gentles of the Earngyld Barony (Juneau Alaska). Would you consider allowing me to do so? I am as yet, as I said above, barely fledged as a Chronicler, and am publishing my first issue this month as a deputy under the current-but-soon-to-be-exiled-to-outland Chronicler.
I expect that the Unsuitable Badgers article ought to go over quite well.
Please let me know at your convenience,
At your service,

Rowan

Oh, God, that’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in days!! I’m the (new-ish) Pursuivant for Shire Lagerdamm in the Kingdom of Meridies (for the geographically challenged, that’s in the muddle of Darkest Arkansas) and was browsing the Web for heraldry stuff. I especially loved the “Law of Obfuscation”! Please keep me posted on any Haroldic innovations in future!
Laughingly,

Maybe some of Harold’s work.

*** Fine spoof of academic scholarship, history and language in general, and the Middle Ages in particular, courtesy of the “Society for Creative Anachronism.” If you enjoy erudite wordplay, cross the virtual moat and enjoy, even if your name is not Harold. This noble effort is the work of Ulrich von dem Schweinestall.

Crumpled Trumpet? Geeeze, I’d always thought that was the Rumpled Strumpet! Maybe that’s a tavern in York? Oh well. . .
Neat page(s), only one thing, after several loads and reloads and loads of cussing, I still can’t get the animations (or whatever they are) to appear. Any advice on shockwave? I’ve done everything by the book and no go. It looks like you put a LOT of work into that, and I’d like to see the final result.
