I consulted with a Herald Buddy<\/a> about Marschall (because everything else should be fine – Maria is well documented and SCA groups as locative bynames are cool) and found some things.<\/p>\n

First of all\u00a0\u201cMarschall\u201d has been registered before, so we have that documentation from the Online System of Commentary and Response:<\/p>\n

<Marschall> – R&W, p. 300, lists a <John Marschal> in 1296 and a <Rainald le mareschal> in 1140. \u201cSurnames in 15th Century York\u201d, URL:http:\/\/heraldry.sca.org\/heraldry\/laurel\/names\/york15\/surnames-alphabetical.htm<\/a>, lists Mareshall and Marshall. \u201cAn Index to the 1296 Lay Subsidy Rolls for Rutland, England\u201d, under the Bynames section, URL:http:\/\/heraldry.sca.org\/heraldry\/laurel\/names\/Rutland\/bynamesalphabetically.htm<\/a>, lists Mareschall. Based on these examples, we believe <Marschall> to be a reasonable spelling variant.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Unfortunately, this documents the name to Germany, not England, and German and English aren\u2019t compatible languages.<\/p>\n

Truth is, Maria Marschall of Seareach is totally documentable for England. I can find some Marschalls in Germany via FamilySearch<\/a>, but they\u2019re all super late period. Like, born-in-1599-late-period.<\/p>\n

Recommendation from Herald-Buddy? register it as English and play German. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
