Yup.  X.4.b. against the Counts of Celje and X.4.e. against Fionn.

What do you think?  X.4.a and X.4.d?
Would require a whole new conflict check, too. :)

Just the colors, not the charges?  Identity of arms means closeness of
blood.  Too many people in the SCA seem to have married their siblings
and first cousins...

Another option might be make the field Or and charges azure.  I
haven't checked that, either.  The chief triangular is a good thing
for clearing conflict so if she really likes it, encourage her to keep
it.  Best period style with a chief triangular is uncharged, by the
way.
