Note: Insula Magna is not a branch - it can't be, since only Principalities and Kingdoms can be made up of a group of branches, hence it has no official existence. At the moment, the name cannot be registered as the only way to do so would be as a household name, and Insula Magna is not acceptable to the College of Heralds as such. However, the badge has been registered and is freely available for use by all who live within Insula Magna's precincts.
