is to be added to the Shield & is to be drawn in the Segreant attitude (Segreant is like Rampant (standing
on 1 hind leg, in profile) but with Wings outstretched))) - Note that this is one of the very few incidents where a female is implied when
not expressly deScribed otherwise by the Scribe.

Non - (Means no known Crest was deScribed to be affixed by the Torse (wreath of cloth with 6 twists,
alternating between the primary tinctures) 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 an Esquire/Commoner/Citizen)
