I have no clue if it would pass, but it looks clear of conflicts, only lozengy field with an argent fess is totally different, search for "orle" gets no hits with an argent fess primary, one hit for "a fleur", totally different. Nothing in-depth, but at first glance you'd be fine.
Yeah, I'll go with a third on the ewwwww. The black and semy de lys is so much prettier and oh so period.
One thought - how does it avoid the appearance of marshalling? Consider the EK Return of Culann mac Cianain's device here: http://ech.eastkingdom.org/ILoIs/2007-03/2007-03-LoD.html
I would recommend putting a charge overall - a bend argent semy de lys gules, perhaps?
In this specific case we're OK because sable, with nothing on it, doesn't appear to be anybody's arms. If it was charged with something other than fleur de lys then it would have the appearance of marshaling.
Bruni pointed me to this "Consider that http://oscar.sca.org/emblazons/Laurel/2009-02/CL-AE113-Artan.jpg if a section of quadrant is field only it's not marshaling (I'm never sure I fully understand the rules about marshaling so I tend to be excessively cautious)"
Aren't the boars in that example on the chequy quadrants? If so, how does that appear to marshal "Sable, a boar passant contourny argent" with the chequy? AFAIK, no marshaling system would transfer primary charges from one device to the other in the course of marshaling.
How would that be blazoned? Quarterly sable and argent, in bend sinister two groups of three fleurs-de-lys gules strikes me as wrong, but that's my first thought. Unless it's just "in bend sinister six fleurs-de-lys gules", but that would seem to arrange them all in a straight line. Hmm, I'll have to see if I can look it up.
I'd have the same not-trip on the seme-sensor. Something I just read backs that up... a seme needs to have charges that are clearly cut off by the edge of the shield. Let me see if I can find that in my browser history... for now I cannot.
Hmm, nope. Semy doesn't have to be cut. It's century & place dependent. My personal preference goes to semy that fits the strewn charge wherever possible, adjusting to other stuff on the field, but that's personal preference.

It's not allowed because it appears to be a claim (I'm the progeny of so and so)
