''Boeuf's sense of heraldic fun/mischief was not confined to just the Barony's name, arms, etc. The heraldry he used himself was a play on his modern surname - Fesselmeyer (never registered, so the blazon is my own.) Azure a fess between an an elm tree and a human eye Or. Yup. Fess-Elm-Eye-Or. You can see his handiwork in the arms of one of the ladies in the car with him that day - Elizabeth of Lymond. Her arms were registered as 'Or, in cross two lizards tergiant displayed respectant vert and two wrens close respectant proper.' Her modern name was Elizabeth (Beth) Neutgren (SP?). If you start with the animal at the top of the arms, you could 'read' it as 'Lizard-Bird-Newt-Wren.' - Nikolai/Ambrose'' | ''Boeuf's sense of heraldic fun/mischief was not confined to just the Barony's name, arms, etc. The heraldry he used himself was a play on his modern surname - Fesselmeyer (never registered, so the blazon is my own.)

The first time I remember meeting William was at an event in Lonely Tower. I had been in the SCA for about 6 months; I was just 15 at the time. I was in awe. Later I would become one of his squires. It was an honor to know him. He is missed. Here are two pictures from that day. I think they were taken in A.S. XIV at a Twelfth Night I believe. - | The first time I remember meeting William was at an event in Lonely Tower. I had been in the SCA for about 6 months; I was just 15 at the time. I was in awe.

''I met Coeur de Boeuf on the day of before his knighting, the day I got my AOA. He was at least three sheets to the wind when he took my face in his hands, peered intently, said "my god, you have the face of an angel!' then sang a song so reprehensible and bawdy that I blushed to my toes. The next day he came up to me again, dropped to one knee, and said 'My lady, last night a very drunken squire swore that you had the face of an angel. Today, a very sober knight affirms it." - Elspeth Modlen ferch Daffyd'' | ''I met Coeur de Boeuf on the day of before his knighting, the day I got my AOA.
