Argent - (Means the Shield is Silver (Argent=Silver))
a trimount in base azure - (Means a Blue (Azure=Blue) 3 hilled mound (Trimount) is placed in the bottom third (Base) of the Shield)
Note: - We believe there is "Something" that goes upon the Trimount, but it has been lost in antiquity
CREST (Helmet) INTERPRETATION:
On a Torse of the colors - (Means the next thing deScribed will go upon a cloth wreath (Torse) of 6 twists, alternating
between the primary tinctures)
a vol azure and argent - (Means a pair of uplifted Wings conjoined at the base (Vol) of which its Dexter (its
Right (Viewers left)) wing is Blue (Azure=Blue) & the other wing is Silver (Argent=Silver)) - this is then all affixed by the Torse (together with
the Mantling), to the Helmet, which is drawn in Profile with the Visor closed or with no Visor nor Grilles - the kind used by a "Bürgerliche" (Esquire/Commoner/Citizen))
